I am baffled how come religious nuts that believe on a Christian apocalypse and white supremacist shaman can put aside their differences to shit on democracy, while the people who believe that police shouldn’t exist, the people that believe that police should be accountable for and the people who believe in less money for the police but that the state has to pick over all their slack fight over that, while the first group just wrecks things.

Not sure what's been and not been posted, but here's a nice summary of the type of content you'd find on Parler: https://gizmodo.com/amazon-court-filing-includes-chilling-death-threats-pub-1846048394
Without arms how can one defend oneself against 50 feral hogs?
John Wick could probably do it with just a pencil.
The 2nd Amendment made more sense when it was made. But that was also back when guns took a lot of time to reload one bullet and most people could only afford one. So while still dangerous, you wouldn't get massacres in schools/public places like now because the guy doing it would likely be taken down before he could finish reloading his 2nd or 3rd bullet.
I assume back then people didn't go to the market with a musket in hand -_-

So they Parler has the typical banter of the right wing /pol/ threads.
And they finally sent the Marines?! (kidding looks like the army.) -
So, what are the odds of this impeachment going through today? I can tell Congress should be fine, but what about Senate?

Zero, the senate's not reconvening today.

Who were those 10 brave republicans that didn't let themselves be bullied by the same threats all liberals and democrats have been reviving since Donnie was elected?
-
Its gon be really hard to get the votes in the Senate isn't?
-
What this fuck has anything to with the impeach? And was Nazi Wernher von Braun who helped put an American on the moon, so don't hog the glory all to yourselves.
Basically we supported a hatemonger for 5 years and held him unaccountable and now that he almost cost our lives because of him we should let it slide again and do nothing. -
Finally now strip him of his attempt to pull a Grover Cleveland and his post presidency perks.
-

Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming
Rep. Anthony Gonzalez of Ohio
Rep. Jamie Herrera-Beutler of Washington
Rep. John Katko of New York
Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois
Rep. Peter Meijer of Michigan
Rep. Dan Newhouse of Washington
Rep. Tom Rice of South Carolina
Rep. Fred Upton of Michigan
Rep. David Valadao of CaliforniaI don't know about the other 9 but I would never call Liz Cheney, "daughter of you know who" brave.
-
At the very least, we can say that these representatives are above the ridiculous bottom of the integrity spectrum that the rest of their colleagues decided to sit at today.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
I was listening to the arguments on the House floor today, it was exhausting and embarrassing. The most infuriating thing to hear was that Donald Trump was beyond reproach because the rioters had clearly organized their attack prior to his speech on the 6th.
But this article of impeachment doesn’t imply that the Trump supporters were incited by the one speech given on the 6th. It’s clear that Trump has been inciting this sort of violent insurrection since Election Day, and even earlier.

At least they didn't hide behind the we received death threats and are scare about our families if we vote pro-impeach.

You forgot some genius actually deciding to engage in whataboutism involving DeNiro, Kathy Griffin, & Madonna for openly criticizing Trump. Apparently being unaware of all the times prior to running for President and even during the process Trump openly trashed the Republican Party.

"I was referencing the kind of trial that took place for Tyrion in that very famous documentary about fictitious medieval England," Giuliani told Samuels. "When Tyrion, who is a very small man, is accused of murder. He didn't commit murder, he can't defend himself, and he hires a champion to defend him."

@MDL:
I'm blocked for some reason, anyone got a screencap or summary of the tweet for me?
It's a video, where insurrectionists talks about the map and plans of the capitol inside. They came in quite prepared.
-
I… I can't even grasp the level of stupidity of Rudy's statement... Holy fuck...
-
Documentary about fictitious medieval England. Well to be honest the one lie is documentary, And the omission of “fantasy”
-
You hear that Guiliani quote and go that can't be real.
But he's apparently been like that for decades.
He's always been crazy, New York always hated him, he just had two good weeks in 2001 where he got to be America's Mayor after a tragedy.
-
Sometimes its hard to tell which one is more evil, or more stupid.
-
How about both of each

I would say that Trump is still stupider than Rudy, but not by much, apparently.

snort That's the one thing that could make Rudy leave him. Who wants to be that this is because Trump is suddenly losing all his business partners?

If that were the case Rudy would be leaving him.
Speaking of a Trump fucking over people

So when it's the senate vote?
-
So when it's the senate vote?
No clue. Apparently, the Senate isn't reconvening until the 19th and then after that they'll be busy with a lot of transitional stuff when Biden takes office, so probably only a portion of their day will be spent on the Trump trial.
-
When the looting starts, the shooting starts!
Oh I mean, you're very special, go home.
-
Biden's Covid relief package is great. I am really happy we can wake up to good news again from an admin that actually wants to help people.
Oh and Jamie Harrison getting to be DNC Chair is great. As is Lady Gaga singing the National Anthem at the Biden inauguration.
This thread is going to get used to good news before you know it.
-
Hell of a defense
-
Everything not nailed to the floor in the West Wing is now Trump asset, Biden will need an Ebay Secreatry to buy it back.
-
Apparently presidents CAN buy things from the White House/Presidential Library (except those portraits, pretty sure), but you know Trump isn't paying a damn penny.
Somebody get in there and protect that priceless Washington portrait before it's too late. And protect Obama and Michelle's while you're at it.

In regards to the West Wing looting talk, there seems to be a debate going on concerning an apparent fact that a LOT of items and features within the wing come from museums and places of storage,
which almost always get the items back when there's a transition of power, so that the next President can freshly select which items/features get used for decoration.
It's being implied that the items are just going where they're supposed to go until Biden re-picks whatever he wants displayed.I have no clue as to whether that's true or not (as a non-American), or if it's complete bullshit.
But I thought I'd mention it for the sake of Devil's Advocate. -

But I thought I'd mention it for the sake of Devil's Advocate.The impression I've gotten from news coverage so far is that as far as we know what they're taking are Trump's presidential gifts (which were mostly illegal to begin with) and he's not legally allowed to just take them home with him.
He has to purchase them from the government because they were given to the office, not him.The good news is, I'd expect charges to be filed against everyone who participated in the looting.
-
Everything in the White House should have already been inventoried and catalogued as it came in so they'd know pretty quickly if anything is missing. Plus there's ample footage of things being carried out.
All of that assumes that people were actually doing their jobs of keeping track of that sort of thing though the loaned items should have a track record on the other end.
That said, a lot of Trump's people are deeply, deeply stupid people so they might still try it anyway.

Jack Kirby's son Neal saw some of the rioters wearing Captain America gear (or Trump AS Captain America) and he is PISSED.
https://www.comicsands.com/captain-america-kirby-capitol-riots-2649940725.html?fbclid=IwAR1ncl4icFH_uc3tHjQOmIhns3U3usqhdxWw105KGgazdR-slM_mkGMAWsoAs his statement says, Cap was created "by two Jewish guys from New York who hated Nazis and hated bullies". Pretty much the antithesis of everything Trump, alt-right, and QAnon.
GOOD.

So in stupid yet funny news, Trump the dumbass actually won't leave the White House until Inauguration morning:
https://www.yahoo.com/gma/trump-plans-depart-washington-inauguration-201400615.html?soc_src=social-sh&soc_trk=fb&tsrc=fbThe fucker actually wants a military band, a red carpet, and military honors. Then fly via Marine One chopper to a base to give remarks, then fly to Mar-a-Lago on Air Force One. This fucking DUMBASS.
In stupid yet less funny news, the Justice Department prosecutors want to take back the claim that Shaman Dude and co. went to the capitol with the intent capture and assassinate elected officials:
https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/15/politics/capitol-capture-assassinate-elected-officials/index.html?fbclid=IwAR31uMO4_7Reyys1UE9J1Hw2ho5YuchdxOPFakZUSg–n0cR4AlB2SrcwFkYes, because Shaman Dude went in carrying a spear with totally peaceful intent. And the other guy picked the zip ties off the floor.
