Re: The 47th POTUS - Donald J. Trump

[Coach]

The point the Committee made last night was that Trump never tried to summon law enforcement support of any kind and watched the whole thing unfold w/ very little effort to stop it.

Seems like a city/ DOJ issue. Since when was POTUS responsible for crowd control?

Pence's instinct to contact the Sec of Defense and rally for some law enforcement seemed to be a better path to follow vs. doing nothing.

are these really the excuses people are using? there's a crowd violently trying to overthrow an election this guy lost, but it's completely normal for him not to do anything to the crowd interrupting democracy. these people follow trumps word like school children, but he's not responsible for controlling them. go ahead and tell me about his press conference hours later lol. the length people will go to defend this guy are embarrassing.

Interesting points that I took away from last night (for those who chose to selectively ignore):

While the riot was unfolding, Trump was sitting alone and watching it on TV, calling senators (who were running for their lives) and harrassing/indirectly threatening them to change their votes, while his terrified and exasperated staff pleaded with him to do what was required of his job, and warning him that he was derelict in his duty.

Then when he found out that the rioters were chanting "Hang Mike Pence", he excitedly tweeted an attack on Mike Pence less than 2 minutes later, which ignited the moment where the rioters broke into the capitol. A staff member overheard him say that Pence "deserves what he is gonna get". Then secret service agents protecting Pence began sending out messages to their families because they believed they were going to die. At this point, several members of Trump's staff resigned in disgust, because it was clear to them that he supported the riot and had no interest in stopping it.

The white house call log is also COMPLETELY BLANK during the entire thing, despite proof that he was making tons of phone calls (mostly to harasss senators). It's also the only time ever that he told the white house photographer to stay away from him and not document anything.

The whole thing is unprecedented and entirely insane. Imagine what would be going on now if the vice president or any senators had actually been killed, which seems to be what Trump was hoping for.

But there's nothing to see here, move along. Trumpy misunderstood. Nothing could have been done about the peaceful protest. LOLOL. Derp.

Yes. This.

[tragabigzanda]

FUCK ICE

[BurtReynolds]

I don’t think anyone is saying “move along” because we don’t think it’s important...

Me. I'm saying that.

[tragabigzanda]

FUCK ICE

[BurtReynolds]

Even if the TV tells you 5 million times - and it will - trust me, It's not important.

[dad]

none of this is real.

[bart]

Burt continuing to be the one man brave enough to parrot the views of the most popular news channel on tv

[BurtReynolds]

Stop watching the news. Just stop! This is crazy! What are we doing?!

[BurtReynolds]

But the senators were running for their lives lmao who cares?

[tragabigzanda]

FUCK ICE

[wease]

Are you sure it wasn’t Burt?

[BurtReynolds]

There's a real advertising blitz going on with him right now. My algorithms are going nuts.

He's got that fat Prager U money. Too bad post-mental breakdown/Russian insane asylum Jordan Peterson sucks now. The broke him.

[dad]

[Jorge]

[BurtReynolds]

Yes that's correct. Very sad.

[dad]
