Holy Damn Cow

January 06, 2021 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Trump told his supporters to go to the Capitol.  Now they are attempting to breach the building. Hearing that some protesters are inside the Capitol building.

Get to a teevee if you can.

  1. They are swarming inside.
    Trump did say it would be wild.

  2. Steve from Beaverton says:

    Per MSNBC they are inside the capital building and Trumpf is currently continuing to tweet violence. Putin must be really happy.
    Hope the fucking repugnantican congressmen and women that started this are proud of themselves. How they gonna justify what’s happening now. Sickening.

  3. Where were the cops?
    How long before CNN and MSNBC go black?

  4. What are the odds that someone is going to get shot?

  5. Jane & PKM says:

    Won’t happen. But would enjoy tRump being detained and his Twitter tools confiscated as he incites violence.

    BarbinDC – can you estimate how many covidiots showed up?

  6. Ossoff now leads by 16,370 votes.

  7. Rich in Fla says:

    He’s inciting riots and encouraging violence.

    Out of control and no one seeming to take charge.

  8. Actually the Capitol Hill police locked all exterior doors and the head CHP made a statement from the dais in the chamber to all assembled that they cold not leave the building nor could anyone enter it. That meant that the elected suporters of the rioters were also kept inside. Question: when and if these rioters caught up with the assembled congress critters, how could they tell the Trump supporters form anyone else? Answer: no relaly good way. The trump supporting congress critters would take the same beat down as the non-supporters. I am watcing the TV right now and see a rabble of red hats going up against well armed Capitol Hill cops. So far I can’t see any blood. Nor do I want to see it. TV pix shows even more rioters outside the building standing exactly where Biden will take hteoath of office.

  9. We are officially the BANANA REPUBLIC.

  10. Steve from Beaverton says:

    If you read the definition of “infamy”, today will go down as a day of infamy brought on by the president of the United States and his followers in congress and outside the capital. Hope they pay dearly for what they’ve done to democracy.

  11. Charly Hoarse says:

    This may be like the Brooks Brothers Riot after 2000. It’s inspiring to see people take a stand to defend the wealthy and powerful.

  12. Katherine says:

    Can we send the bill for the property damages to Ted Cruz get all?

    12
  13. The cops I’ve seen in riot gear look like they’re trying to find the ones who were at Lafayette park for equipment and instructions.

    13
  14. Dare I say it? What if this was a BLM protest? How much fucking tear gas would have already been deployed?
    Nope, those maggots will not be able to tell a dem from a repugnant when the frenzy really starts. Too bad their “ leader” chickened out and is not in there. Probably afraid his hair would get mussed

    14
  15. CNN is calling it just what it is. Insurrection.

    15
  16. Steve from Beaverton says:

    On nbc, they’re showing that the floor of the senate is now in the hands of Trumpf proud boys mostly maskless. Lester Holt called it an attempted coup.

  17. Nick Carraway says:

    I’m stuck here on campus at least for another half an hour. Luckily I can follow the interwebs. This is ridiculous and hopefully their holy Waterloo.

    17
  18. I agree with Steve from B’s ‘day in infamy’ yet I am imagining dj at the WH shivering with glee at what he has wrought – how his followers react to his exhortations

    later, he will deny all responsibility but at the moment I truly believe he’s loving it – as opposed to being appalled at what is happening

    18
  19. Cruz is complicit in this.

    19
  20. S, I think you’ve nailed it. How much more affirmation could any autocrat want?

    Of course, when the protests were peaceful, he was quivering in his bunker.

    Remember the biker rally? I bet we’ll see another spike in Covid-19 in a couple of weeks…

    20
  21. John Thorne says:

    Where’s the armed response? The police used tear gas against peaceful protesters so Trump could have a photo op. Can you imagine what you would be seeing if the protesters were black – or Muslim?

    21
  22. Steve from Beaverton says:

    If I were cruz, I’d be scared of my senate colleagues. Same with hawley and the rest of the dirty 13. Would love to see someone punching him in the nose.
    All of this so Trumpf can continue to say he’s not a loser. History will not forget today.

    22
  23. dj, pence, rudy, the 140 in the House, the 13 in the Senate, and others should all be held accountable for inciting insurrection

    23
  24. Cruz, Rubio, Conway, Pence and the rest of the worms are on the twitter clucking their tongues. Like they aren’t the ones responsible.

    24
  25. Biden speaks
    maybe dj will break cover now

    25
  26. Doesn’t the idiot realize if a lot of the armed response shifts to cover the Capitol building, he may find himself a bit naked in the White House?

  27. Mike in MO says:

    Jan @4, the odds are at 100%.

    A woman was shown being carried out on a stretcher escorted by cops carrying AR15s. She was covered in blood with a man giving her CPR.

    27
  28. oh goody
    dj tweeting

    28
  29. NOW can we declare the Republican Party extremist terrorists???
    Treasonous Trump is soooo predictable.

    Treasonous Trump. “Attack the Liberals and anybody that’s not loyal to me!”

    later that day..

    Treasonous Trump, “I didn’t say to harm anybody.”

    and then later yet …

    Treasonous Trump. “Attack the Liberals and anybody that’s not loyal to me!”

    29
  30. He sent these stormtrumpers in there. He should be held accountable, as should they.

    30
  31. Steve from Beaverton says:

    And they found at least one home made explosive device. They’ll have to scour the building and grounds for potentially other devices.
    And are repugnanticans in denial? Mo Brooks from Alabama told Congress in his protest that those trying to occupy the capital were actually left wingers masquerading as MAGA supporters. Wow.

    31
  32. Buttermilk Sky says:

    Two IEDs (improvised explosive devices) were removed from the Capitol grounds.

    Apparently it’s easier to storm the Capitol than to get on a plane now.

    32
  33. Jane & PKM says:

    This from CNBC

    Former law enforcement and defense officials also questioned how Trump supporters broke into the Capitol when the federal government knew for weeks that rioters could descend on Washington.

    “I think it’s the most shocking failure of security imaginable to place the Congress of the United States at physical risk in an occupied congressional chamber because they weren’t prepared to deal with it,” Ret. Gen. Barry McCaffrey said Wednesday on CNBC’s “Closing Bell.”

    /s /s /s yeah. gee. wonder how that happened.

    33
  34. Steve from Beaverton says:

    And just now, Trumpf released the most divisive message for his mob to leave the capital saying they’re on the right side because the election was a fraud and stolen. 25th amendment needs to be invoked tonight. Then pence needs to step down.
    This is truly a day of infamy. I need to get away from all this and go celebrate my grandsons 5th birthday.

    34
  35. Rich in Fla says:

    I’ve seen a video of Capitol officers opening one of the gates on the temporary fence and people flooding through towards the Capitol.

    Also of officers inside the building taking selfies with the invaders.

    And of course a photoshop with a gallows placed on the Capitol grounds.

    Would much prefer to see a quick joint session impeachment.

    35
  36. Yellowstonekenney says:

    Trump’s thuggish brownshirts have forced their way into State Houses in the past. They know that they can do this with impunity. These people are the worst.

    It is just incredible that the authorities had not anticipated what was going to happen. They should have had a few thousand law enforcement personnel on the grounds to maintain order.

    I think that Trump wants bloodshed.

    36
  37. The Surly Professor says:

    Uh, BarbinDC: are you OK? Let us know if you’re caught up in this, or are safely at home.

    Ditto for any other Salon customers who live in DC.

    37
  38. Meanwhile Pence is tweeting from his @MikePence account, not the @VP account. And the banner photo is of Biden and Harris. I wonder what that means, if anything?

    38
  39. Isn’t it time to invoke the goddamned 25th Amendment?

    Joe Biden all but stated that we are in…hell…Joe did state that we are under siege, an active insurrection is taking place, and that the mob was incited by Donald Trump.
    Joe was discreetly asking that the 25th be invoked and Pence become President for the next 1 week, 6 days, 18 hours, 49 minutes, 47 seconds.

  40. AlanInAustin ... says:

    Trump Rioters (armed with pistols, rifles, and bombs) who are out there threatening people and destroying property are certainly being treated more delicately than the peaceful, law-abiding BLM protestors out in the Mall area.

    40
  41. Jane & PKM says @33
    Exactly! Jeez when I visited the Capitol a couple years ago as a tourist, on a slow day with no House members around (very awe inspiring solemn place), they had tighter security then today.
    So who gave the order for the Capitol Police to stand down?

    41
  42. Harry Eagar says:

    Little Miss Sunshine here: at least a failed coup means Trump and Pompeo will not be able to start a war with Iran

    42
  43. How shameful. Shame on the GOP Senate (save Mitt) for not stopping this madman when they had the chance one year ago. They knew who he is. The Capitol should have been better guarded. Where was the National Guard you ask? The DC Natl Guard is under the control of the president. When the DOD was first asked to deploy after this started, it was denied. Later they relented. VA Gov sent some Natl Guard and MD gov sent some LE. Things are just a mess. Trump sat on his fat ass eating while watching while these thugs were freely roaming thru inside, breaking glass, etc. Finally puts out two tweets (probably posted by staff). Then very belated a video in which he reiterates his grievances before telling people to go home. He needs to be removed now because he’s not going to stop over the next two weeks. Or beyond.

    43
  44. The good news is Jon Ossoff’s lead has grown to almost 25,000 and beyond the 0.5% difference needed to avoid an automatic recount. His win has been called, along with Rev. Warnock’s. SOOOO, yay!!!

    44
  45. Steve @#2
    “Putin must be really happy.”

    He’s certainly gotten his rubles worth.

    45
  46. I can almost agree with Rep Lauren (R-Glock) Boebert. Almost

    46
  47. Congress should count the electors then move to immediate impeachment. They could get it done tonight in 2 votes.

    You’d think cruz and other 2024 hopeful repubs would seize the chance to wipe out dj’s chances for future disruption

    47
  48. S, at first I thought you were saying *I* needed to be held accountable, since I usually answer to “dj.” I didn’t want this, I promise!

  49. Jane & PKM says:

    lex @40, where is our “teachable moment”? President-elect Biden is now on C-SPAN with a calming message of hope for democracy, while the instigator is cowering in a bunker somewhere wrapped around a cheeseberder. “If only” the soon to be opposition party learned something today, hint hint Teddie Crooze, Hawley, et al.

    Because of the Covid-19 our two youngsters are being home schooled until group gathering is safe. They’re 4 & 2. What should we tell them? Fortunately we have cable /wifi, but no cable TV with images to explain from the nightly “news.”

    More questions than answers. Please. Everyone be safe with extra wishes of safety for those of you in the metro DC area and surrounding suburbs. Ms JJ and Mr. Maxey, please let us know when your Team is safely back in Texas.

  50. Fox has not broken away from the normal programing all afternoon. Their audience missed it all.
    But not the commercials, I suppose.
