Darling, don't bold and mad smiley at us, we can't do it. Bold and mad smiley at Pence and the Cabinet (not referring to the 1960's beach band of similar name, Pence and the Cabinettes, whose single notable song "Bikini Beach Girl (Oh Yeah, Yeah)" was later covered to much greater success by Little Richard).

Trump: "The election was totally stolen, everyone knows this, but rounding up the traitors and hanging them would be a little rude, so don't do it."

My partner is part of a community watch, blue lives support Facebook group. To no surprise, the majority of fools on there support the MAGA terrorists in the Capitol and are shouting down anyone supporting LE in the Capitol on this day.
More evidence that the Blue Lives Matter group has little to do with supporting police. |

Trying to move the discussion from the coup thread to here:
I was around during the Vietnam protests. This is nothing, certainly not a revolution or coup. ![]() Define "playing this down"? It is it a serious matter? Absolutely. Has Trump seriously damaged this country? Without a doubt. Is it an armed insurrection? Absolutely NOT!!! |

This is being discussed on CNN. That this is unprecedented. (When Jake Tapper read, "Police report, 'The Capitol is now secure,'" Tapper said he felt like he was reading a dispatch from Bogota.) That trump has taken no role in restoring order today, that he is not acting as a sitting president. A Republican businesswoman told CNN she thought trump should be removed and removed this evening. That events have just gone too far. Way too far.

Judging by the number of red hats in the audience of that photo, I'd say you are right.
Here's the pic, by the way: https://twitter.com/Mike_Pence/header_photo |

No, he has two Twitter accounts. You're looking at his official government VP one, there is also his personal one (which has 6 million followers and is linked to Trump's, so looks legit to me), which has the photo of the back of a white-haired man holding hands with a woman.

Unfollowed momentarily, new banner page installed, re-followed shortly after.
If I understand Twitter mechanics, that would be so Diaper Don would not be advised via Twitter that Mikey's banner image had been changed, thus incurring Toupee Fiasco's wrath. Would that be correct, twitterati? |

What is it called when people try to overturn an election at the request of their leader?
