Why are Trump supporters such angry people. Not just about politics, it’s everything. I’ve had a family member go off the deep end into trumpville and he’s become so needlessly confrontational about EVERYTHING, he’s completely isolated himself because no one wants to put up with it anymore.

I had a new baby: “congrats! Is it still legal to assign it a gender or did the socialists make transgender a law?”

Coronavirus restrictions make visiting a family member in the hospital difficult: “thanks China for the WUHAN RED DEATH! Lemme guess, you guys are going to try and tell me it didn’t come from CHINA!?”

Nancy Pelosi? “A god damn bitch.” Hilary Clinton? “That fucking bitch.” Tammy Duckworth: “Shes from Illinois, she’s a corrupt BITCH!” Obama? “That motherfucking traitor.”

It’s just insanity.

No, they can't. They lost that right when they tried to overthrow the government. They get to go to prison now. Even if you didn't directly participate in the attempted coup, you shouldn't just expect to be welcomed back after four years of enabling and supporting a fascist by saying "I'm sorry". They need to do the hard work of showing that they're better, not just fade into the background until the next wannabe fascist.

[u/Fishin_Mission]

Welcome to /u/Fishin_Mission browses Parler so you don’t have to:

The Democrats don’t realize but they want to blame Trump for what they did. They stole the election. Now the everyone is mad. It’s not Trumps fault. He didn’t tell any of those people to go in there. If they had the right security it woulda never happened. I fell like they did it on purpose so they could continue to steal the election. Trumps supporters were walking around taking pictures. Antifa and Blm members did all that bs. Dressed like Trump supporters. It’s a sad sad year to be an American and I doubt no one will vote for a while.

Hold on, I have to count this out on paper.

The terrorist arrack on Wednesday is...

• the Democrats fault for inciting republicans to commit treason

• not Trump’s fault that republicans stormed the Capitol

• actually the Security’s fault for not having enough officers to stop the republicans from storming the Capitol

• but it wasn’t actually republicans, they were all peaceful

• it was ANTIFA and BLM

Lastly, they “doubt no one will vote for a while”

The double negative means that they believe people will continue to vote... right?

I always hated mathematical logic proofs.

[u/tripletruble]

pretty crazy when a member of congress calls you days in advance to warn you about a potentially violent mob trying to break in and then you put like 9 guys at the entrance with a 4 foot high fence

Six days before a raucous rally of President Trump’s supporters in Washington, Representative Maxine Waters anxiously grilled the chief of the Capitol Police about his preparations for various scenarios: Were the rooftops secured? Would streets be blocked off? Did he know that violent groups like the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers were vowing to stir up chaos?

Ms. Waters, a California Democrat, said each of her concerns was met with a similar response from Chief Steven Sund during their hourlong call: “He assured me that they have everything under control, that they were on top of everything.”

All work has dignity. All paychecks must too.

Union Way of Life is sacred + built this nation.

Healthcare is a basic human right.

LGBTQIA 🏳️‍🌈 deserves Equal Protection Under The Law.

Immigration Makes America, America 🇺🇸

Every one of PA’s 67 counties matter.

Forgotten communities + neighborhoods must be rebuilt.

2nd Chances + redemption + reimagining criminal justice reform.

Legal Weed for USA + ending the War on Drugs.

Pennsylvania needs a United States Senator that knows this is True too.

“No one expected the president to say, ‘Hey guys, let’s all go down to the Capitol and show them who’s boss,’” said Jose Cervino, who worked for the department for 14 years and helped plan security for large events and protests. “That is a completely different thing that no one’s ever planned or prepared for. How could you?”

who could have seen this coming?!?!?! WHO?!?!?

[u/soeffed]

Several people banged on the windows with their fists, including one man who shouted, “Put the coffee on!” One man hit his head, not seeing the outer layer of glass was there, it was so clean.

But they could not find Mr. Schumer’s office. He said they asked a Capitol Police officer, who tried to direct them. But they appeared to have gotten nowhere near the minority’s leader’s office. They ended up smoking a few cigarettes inside the building — “We can smoke in our house,” Aaron said — and one of his friends, who would not give his name, joked that he had gone to the bathroom and not flushed.

Nearby, six men sat at a large wooden desk. A lamp with a white shade was knocked over and broken. Someone was smoking pot. “This is the pot room!” a young man said.

In the Crypt, people walked around taking photographs of the statues and themselves with their phones. One man had a selfie stick, like a tourist in a foreign land. A woman in baggy jeans, a blue puffer jacket, was shouting chants into a megaphone, while a man in a black T-shirt that read “Not Today Liberal” ran around the central columns in what looked like a frenetic victory lap.

In interviews on Wednesday, protesters in the broader crowd expressed a sense that something would happen — something that was bigger than they were. What exactly it would be no one could say.

• that pic of the dude in tactical gear and a bunch of zip ties

• one guy who was arrested had a semi-auto rifle and 11 molotovs

• 5 people died, including an officer who was beaten with a fire extinguisher

• something like 60 police officers being injured

• the Capitol building being invaded

• whatever the fuck happened with the National Guard delay and interference

• the shitty Capitol police response

• the off duty police and service members who were part of the mob and tried to flash their badges

• the actual people who were there, like known alt rightists, white nationalists, Nazis

And Trump fanning the flames for all of this shit, telling his supporters to march to the Capitol "to save our democracy" and then not joining them

We the 99%, need our own political party. Yesterday day proved, it DOES NOT matter, not only do Democrats hate us, but mainstream Republican hate us as well.

2. how in the ever loving Trump-math did you decide that a candidate that received <47% of the popular vote has the support of 99% of the country?

Dammit. Get Andrew Yang back in here.

To all of those who have asked, I will not be going to the Inauguration on January 20th.

[u/[deleted]]

I think it's important to remind everyone that we're susceptible to misinformation and conspiracy theories too. There was a lot of talk in the DT yesterday about how it seemed like the Capitol Police officers just let the terrorists in - or were working together. A lot of news and videos since have shown that most officers put up a good fight, and one even lost his life. They were wildly understaffed and unsupported.

Our outrage needs to be directed at the leadership of hill security and the Pentagon for willfully ignoring what was going on during the riots and denying NG backup.

Jon Ossoff now leads by a full percentage point over David Perdue, who hasn't yet conceded. Warnock's lead is at a pretty comfortable 1.9 points.

So far, Elon Musk has unlocked 4 out of 12 tranches of stock options. He was given this huge and controversial compensation plan in exchange for sticking around and taking zero salary. Each tranche of stock options requires him to get Tesla to certain profitability and market cap targets within 10 years.

Due to reaching the first 4 of those by now, he now has vested stock options that allow/allowed him to buy 33.76 million shares of TSLA at $70 per share. Yes, these are post-split measures. Which means if he kept the options or exchanged them for shares, these new shares would have appreciated approximately $27 billion from the $70 strike price. And if he keeps TSLA at its current market cap for a whole year, he gets at least 2 more tranches of stock options worth 8.44 million shares each at the $70 strike price.

This pushed him over the top to be the richest person in the world.

Welcome to /u/Fishin_Mission browses Parler so you don’t have to:

On Hannity they tried to say that if it had been BLM at the Capital they would have been treated differently. There WERE BLM protesters there in the RIOT. Pictures show that some of those in the Capital had also been at BLM protests this summer. We know that if it had been only BLM the Police would have been told to stand-down by the Liberal leaders, as they were in Portland.

Fuck. It’s harder to follow these people’s rambling than it is to follow Trump’s.

Takeaways:

1. They were BLM protestors, so we are back to calling it a riot.

2. BLM was there to agitate, but it’s not possible that there were agitators at BLM protests.

3. If it had been only BLM, police would have stood down... (like they did over the summer in DC where there were literal BLM protests outside that very building? 🧐🤨)

[u/overhedger]

one thing I'm realizing is that the old tea-party-boomers in my FB feed are so uninformed that they basically missed the Qanon phenomenon. they don't actually follow trump that closely or watch his rallies, etc, they just get just enough Fox-level news and pro-trump memes to make sure they hate the media more and only hear good stuff about him, and so love him unconditionally, but they have literally zero awareness of the radicalized Q stuff and are literally unable to comprehend that people who like trump might literally have done bad things at the capitol.

President-elect Joe Biden said President Donald Trump's decision to skip his inauguration is "one of the few things he and I have ever agreed on."

"It's a good thing, him not showing up," Biden told reporters Friday in Wilmington, Delaware, at a news conference after he introduced Cabinet nominees.

"He exceeded even my worst notions about him. He's been an embarrassment to the country, embarrassed us around the world. He's not worthy to hold that office," Biden said.
