US President Donald Trump
This morning.
Following extraordinary scenes last night in Washington where Police say four people died as Trump supporters occupied the Capitol…and after being thrown off Twitter and Facebook…
“Even though I totally disagree with the outcome of the election, and the facts bear me out, nevertheless there will be an orderly transition on January 20th. I have always said we would continue our fight to ensure that only legal votes were counted. While this represents the end of the greatest first term in presidential history, it’s only the beginning of our fight to Make America Great Again!”
Donald Trump this morning.
Vice President Mike Pence signed off on the results — 306 electoral votes for Biden and 232 for President Donald Trump — shortly after 3:40am.
President Trump reportedly told Mike Pence’s Chief of Staff Marc Short that he was “not welcome” at the White House today and banned him from the grounds.

Last night: Do It Mike
“…and the facts bear me out…”
Cletus agrees
At least three of the lads who stormed the Capitol last night answer to Cletus.
FACT.
This was a mob of white, middle class, affluent professionsals who don’t want Cletus to get health care.
Naah. It was a bunch of Dublin Shinner scrotes looking for another excuse to scrote. They’ll be back down the GPO later this week.
a mob of white, middle class, affluent professionals who orchestrated a mob of Cletuses to pitchfork-lobby against healthcare, regulation and equitable taxation in the interests of the Cletuses
We all know that Americans are not the sharpest tool in the box.
Here’s the online hunt for the identities of last night’s protestors coming up trumps so to speak with a ringleader Via Getty,
You’re in deep do-do Mr Getty.

I feel sorry for all the idiots who think the guy is some sort of role model.
At this stage I’d almost welcome a new US civil war but the reality is that both good people and Trump supporters would die if that happened.

she’s dead right
She is but that won’t stop the idiots shouting about BLM looting because it’s easier to do that than admit the truth.
was I the only one a small bit disappointed that the police didnt baton charge them and start flinging them off the steps ?
no
there was one particularly nauseating scene where one of the riot police actually proferred his arm as he walked a woman safely down the steps
if anything illustrated the difference between being white and black in america, that did
Or even being an old white person at a BLM March, as was evidenced by the 75 yo who was pushed from behind at a protest in NY State.
A lot of that echos here – albeit in a different format
the part about white people aren’t afraid of the cops
You could travel that same statement into Fine Gael & Fianna Fail hob nobs & cronies
They don’t fear any wing of the law or State
And know they are out of reach of any attempt to pull them into any form of accountability
Apartheid as gaelige
Farmers have been doing it for years. Can block off centre of Dublin for days or drive sheep into government buildings and all the guards will do is make sure that nobody vandalises their tractors. Meanwhile, if one lefttie or student group threatens to block a footpath the public order unit crack heads.

So Bodger, was last night’s shenanigans a ridiculous as you suggested it might be or did the plan backfire spectacularly? I mean, they even didn’t get to hold anyone hostage, put them on trial or execute them for their ‘treasonous’ acts’.
What does plan ‘Q’ look like now?
You might recall I said Pence would be the first arrest.
what’s the charge ?
For what?
Pence is now more loose cannon than loose change.
Oh,suit yourselves …
the guy upholding the constitution is a loose cannon?
right-ee-o, brexitboy
TREASON.
There’s no need to shout, Bodge.
Treason?!!
That requires a lot of evidence and a compelling legal argument. Without evidence you have nothing. Treason might actually be something that Trump is charged with after he leaves.
Treason? “the offense of attempting to overthrow the government of one’s country”
You mean like Trump is currently doing?
No. What he means is a Qangaroo Quort set up to pursue the TRAITORS.
Seeing as it won’t take the Capitol now, perhaps when Trump sets up court in the wilds of Oregon or the swamps or Florida, they’ll execute him there.
will it be on TV?
he’s make a decent leather handbag

I’ll take two
that’ll be both of donald’s bottycheeks
“Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.”
He hasn’t done that. So that’s a no.
@George:
Levying War
Levying war isn’t limited to formally declaring war. It includes any forcible opposition to the execution of a public law. Such “forcible opposition” ordinarily requires actual use of force by multiple people with the common purpose of preventing some law from being enforced. Weapons aren’t always required; sheer numbers can be enough.

I was talking about the suggestion Pence committed treason (by not trying to block Biden’s appointment).
G’wan outta dat…. That said, I do like the way you’ve turned your ‘inner’ knowledge of the workings and plans of Q into an entertaining parody. Like the way everything you say, the opposite happens.
Whoever thought that the career right wing politician Mike Pence was going to destroy his career, sully his name for a head case like Trump, really were naive. If they researched Mike Pence for 20 mins online from his old radio show, to his most calculated political moves over the years, they would see that he never does anything bold, or exciting. He is a survivor, primarily, and an enabler secondarily.
This is from people who call everyone sheep? To you I say:
“Baaaaaahhh!”
He has destroyed his career and sullied his name.
It’s all relative, as he is a Republican. They have a low bar.
For someone from any other democratic country I would agree with you though.
Erra, go on out of that Bodger. Shur, did you have a glass of bubbly in symbiosis with the celebration of last night’s seditious circus in a certain someone’s bunker on the outskirts of Moscow and also at CCP HQ in Beijing? Best telly they’ve seen in ages.
wonder what they made of Donie Sull
Not much considering CNN audience figures are so abysmal.
They’re No 5 in cable news and rarely break a milllion viewers domestically.
That’s still more that an RTE News Audience
Like
Look at it this way
Donie Sull has more viewers than Tommy Gorman and Tony Connelly put together
and then some
Much as I’d love to see that Bodger
and am firmly on record calling Pence the most dangerous xxxker in ‘Merkica
Its not going to happen
He accepted the offer to run under Trump on the 2016 Presidential Ticket
He was endorsed by a Delegate brokered Republican Party Convention to be their Candidate for Vice President
He was elected in a fully exercised election to the post of Vice President
He was sworn into the office of Vice President
He has fulfilled the role of Vice President of the United States in full accordance of their Constitution and Executive
Critics of Democracy and of this election need to remember Mike Pence has upheld and walked every step of the way into the post of VP democratically
And performed it as per his politics, his party and the rules fixed into the office
– He did not bend to Trump’s Georgia rally I hope Mike Pence comes through for us
When Trump should actually have been making sure their two candidates won those senate seats for his party btw – sin sceal eile
– He did not bend to demands from Trump to a rabid mob to do the right thing
Is that his Crime?
I am prepared to bet you a Spa Weekend that not one of those running amok in the Capitol halls yesterday is a Republican Party Delegate, Super or otherwise
What Trump has gone and done is make Mike Pence the presumptive Candidate for 2024
and Mitch McConnell the sensible one, the respectable Parliamentarian, and the Kingmaker of the Republican Party
Of all people. Mike Pence and Mitch McConnell
This will be the pair that will try to convince the World that they have returned the GOP back to respectability, decency, and integrity.
F’ing Mike Pence and Mitch McConnell
They will raise well over a $billion before the next election cycle
To spend on Campaigning
And not a cent on fixing the voting apparatus
So Just for that
Trump should be taken and parked into Guantanamo for the rest of his days
Sorry to say this
But You’ve been had
I will be only too delighted to be proved wrong, so do try everyone
One great light of hope is that it looks like Bernie Saunders is now Chair of the Budget Committee. Maybe he can see his way to finding the recourses to fix how America casts and counts its votes
great post, frillz
What about Ted Cruz, Frilly? He’s sure to make a run and I wouldn’t be surprised if he was wooing the Trump cultists as part of that.
what happened yesterday might have put paid to that. the hardcore cultists are a relatively small number. they need the soccer moms and picket fencers too – how many of them will have been put off by what theyve seen now?
Unfortunately Cruz was driven to the endo of his road by his own pals there in the Trumpanzi wing of the Republican Party – The Birthers
Cruz was born in Canada
So he’ll never be allowed forget this moment in American Politics when they consipised, shredded stewed and connippted Obama’s birth certificate, and then identified Kamala Harris as an .Anchor Baby’ (seriously sick f:::s with zero respect for their Country, its traditions, history and how it was built)
But for that – Ms the soon to be former Senator from Georgia, Loeffler, I thank you. I sincerely thank you for saving the world from the prospect of a Ted – excuse me, Rafael Cruz Presidency.
I suppose Ted could run for Governor of Texas, that’s a better job in fairness. Like if he can’t get a Committee Chair, then he’s just a blowhard in the Senate looking for any type of speaking time. So Governor of Texas makes him a player in the Republican Party and in National Politics.
But apparently a man very much after my own heart, we’re like, kinda of the same spirit, Matthew McConaughey. Seriously we are.
Is letting it be known he’d enter an election to try and live in the Governors Mansion himself.
So, Hon’ Mattie, I suppose
that should probably say
FORTUNATELY Cruz was driven to the end of his road by his own pals….. (‾◡◝)
Good post V although I doubt this is an analysis that enthuses Bodger.
Indeed, given all the off-ramps that Pence and McConnell could have taken during the last four years, they waited until Rome was effectively burning before crying STOP! What had they to lose? Nowt.
Reminds me of the Soviets nicely watching as the departing Nazis destroyed and razed Warsaw from the comfort of their positions other side of the Vistula river during the final stages of WWII. The Soviets then rode into town to “liberate” the city after the Nazis had gone. Very easy you see to “liberate” a destroyed people and city…
Didn’t really see it until the last fortnight or so myself
Its the way Mitch returned to the Senate there after the election
I think its fair to say He’s spent all that time working on yesterdays speech
and offered no assistance to Trump
like he should have guided Trump better here, and insisted on behalf of the Party that he canvas for the two in Georgia and leave the office with dignity and the Party in control of the Senate Committees
And do you remember there during the summer, the remaining Koch brother doing that mea culpa there before the Trump 2020 campaign got ridiculous
In fairness, hell of a plan all the same
Will Pence even be 65 in 2024
One thing is, he’ll wipe the floor with Kamala
That’s assuming Bodger isn’t right
He could well be.
He’s got plenty fans here and out there to make sure if I can be proved wrong, they’ll do it. Early and Often even.
And I don’t think he was ever an enthusiastic fan of my writing anyway.
4 dead according and an explosive device found at the capitol. This is terrorism.
Trump: We love you, you are very special.
It is too late for an orderly transition it is already disorderly.
And people who support Trump support terrorism.
CNN aren’t pulling punches:
An unchained Trump threatens more mayhem in his final dangerous days
America faces 13 days of danger before the departure of an unhinged commander-in-chief who set his mob on the US Capitol in an act of insurrection that shattered a more than 220-year tradition of peaceful transfers of power.
Even President Donald Trump’s own White House aides were horrified by his seditious behavior, which followed a fracture with his ultra-loyal Vice President Mike Pence who refused to join the futile but destructive effort to overturn the result of the election.

Can Trump change his VP? He’s not known for patience with people who refuse to jump to do his bidding.
Not easily.
Easiest/fastest way would be to have him killed.
The other way is to have him impeached. Unlikely to do that in the next 12 days.
or he could “choose” to resign.
But a replacement needs to be voted in by both houses; so he is unlikely to be replaced. Which would make Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi second in command.
who could he appoint instead? is there anyone left ?
Rudy Giuliani?
If four black people had been killed while illegally storming Capitol buildings the reporting and street-level reaction would be oh so very different, regardless of their motivation or political allegiance.
1 person was “killed”
3 people “died”
half of them were zimmerframe users, so hardly surprising really
and probably fat hooers who haven’t put as much as a few steps strain on their hearts in decades
In fairness Brother, the group attempting to storm the barricade when the woman was shot were hardly zimmerframe candidates.
However, imagine my surprise to learn from Fox News and other right wing outlets that they were in fact Antifa in MAGA disguise.
did Fox actually claim that ?!
Sidney did
Speaking to Fox Business’s Lou Dobbs on Wednesday night, Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) said “there is some indication that fascist antifa elements were involved, that they embedded themselves in the Trump protests.”

*warning graphic*
That doesn’t make sense Cian. After all, Spoofer told us “A shot was fired later when a Capitol police officer’s gun went off accidentally.” and that video looks anything but accidental.
Look at them all there minding their phones n’ selfie sticks
and not that poor girl
I’ve noticed the born again patriots here always have their phones up in front of their faces as well
That was the first thing I saw too Frilly. Video her bleeding out rather than try to help.
Or to even be quiet and find out what her status was
Just shows how well controlled their minds were
Should also be mentioned that the man behind the gun was apparently Secret Service as the VP was probably still on site. They’re not renowned to be a trigger happy bunch that fires off by accident.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Hi Rosie
If that’s the case
That the shot came from a secret service detail
The VPs detail – by what your saying
The Vice President was at risk
Then Trump could be facing some very serious charges
That’s the Coup Cucks Clan for you!
Four white people weren’t killed storming the Capitol.
Three died of ‘ medical emergencies ‘ and one was ‘ fatally wounded ‘ in circumstances that are still unkown.
The bare-chested man with two dead racoons on his head and the other nutjob wearing a pair of bull horns as a helmet do not a political conspiracy make.
I was watching Reeling in the Years the other night and they were showing how British soldiers used their rifle butts to bash protesting Catholic women. It was what the cops would have done if the protestors yesterday were black. But racists and bigots will twist the facts to suit their warped bigotry. Welcome to your world Charage., Enjoy it while you can.
They were killed in the riot. Medical emergencies arising from being crushed to death in the mob.
‘ Crushed to death in the mob ‘
Any evidence for this ?
One of the news agencies has a photo of a Defibrillation discarded on the floor of a trashed hallway that was used to treat a crushing victim.
3 people didn’t coincidentally have fatal medical emergencies during a riot. You someone was passing around peanuts and they forgot their epi-pens.
Charger asking for evidence, given he is the spoofer general is so deliciously ironic.
Now it’s important to you, spoofer.
“Another friend, Justin Winchell, said Ms Boyland was pinned to the ground when bodies of police and protesters pushed against each other…
‘I put my arm underneath her and was pulling her out and then another guy fell on top of her, and another guy was just walking (on top of her)’ he said. ‘There were people stacked two to three-deep… people just crushed.’

Eleventy trillion dollar defense budget and redneck coachella man breaks in to sanctum sanctorum.
Go figure.
4 dead. Enjoy the fun.
5 now include a police officer who was hit over the head with a fire extinguisher by a rioter.
Black protestors wouldn’t have made it into the building. Serious questions need to be asked about the different approaches to policing this protest and the BLM protests in the same location.
2 pipe bombs and a cooler full of petrol bombs were found at this one.
Too many have been allowed claim our Democracy is broken. It isn’t, our Society is broken, and we have allowed our Democracy to ignore it.
anyone want to know who said that?
Nope. People can claim whatever they want.
Trump? Sounds like that blowhard.
