Biden’s speech – it touched me that he walked out and stopped at the question about the safety of the inauguration. Felt like he wanted to make extremely clear that our democracy was going to be preserved. Felt like real leadership for once.

Im seeing some reports protesters were allowed to move inside the Kansas capitol building. May have been to defuse, but at least may not have been a violent takeover.

The news I saw emphasized that the protest in Kansas is peaceful and they were allowed in, not that jt was breached.

Apparently they have been trying, uh, fascism stuff, in Salem for a bit lately, in the name of “anti lockdown protests”, so that is terrible but doesn’t surprise me.

What the ever loving fuck was the statement he just released to say go home.
He mentioned stolen election, landslide win, fraudulent election.
What an absolute bullshit statement.
(Sorry- am I allowed to cuss. I don’t think I can participate in this thread anymore. “be nice” is just not a thing I can do right now.)

It’s trying to create plausible deniability. Whatever happens next he can say he told them to go home.

We were supposed to be nice about the election, not the insurrection.

Yeah- no reading between the lines could possibly happen there.
I cannot believe this man is president. I cannot believe the 25th is not being invoked at this minute.
But I hope at least SOME Republicans will stop backing him like complete sycophants.

In (?) good news? My immediate and extended family are all Republicans and all in shock. My mom just texted “that pounding you hear is all the moderate Republicans leaving the party”. If nothing else, please dear god let this be a wake up call to them all.

Yea, cussing is fine. This thread has derailed and that is OKAY WHEN A VIOLENT INSURRECTION IS HAPPENING IN OUR CAPITOL.

I think the biggest thing with being nice in this thread is to each other? That’s always the impression I’ve gotten.
