Capitol attack and 6th of January hearings - Page 5 - Politics and Society -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

My suggestion would be to follow the news, don't take early reports at face value. Wait for confirmation from multiple sources which aren't connected.

Nothing is gained from jumping at every tidbit or doom-scrolling. A serious situation requires serious information.

WTF is Biden supposed to do in your opinion? Say a bunch of nice things about these idiots and hope that Trump does the right thing?

Can’t believe these yahoos beached the Capitol. This was known in advance. Zero security. Sadness.

They will absolutely identify and find these guys. They are looking at super long prison sentences. This is not going to end well for them.

Uh, did you see the selfie tweet? The cops support these people. The cops are these people.

Can you not recognize a coup when you see it?

How exactly is this "coup" going to play out in your mind? The group of selfie takers will eat some paper files and create a new government?

I would say the only thing this may have destroyed was Trumpism pretty much for good and the Republican party for a while, but I am curious to hear your take on what today will do to change the political structure of the United States in the near future. That one guy did look pretty impressive with no shirt and the blond wig, so perhaps he will be in charge of the transition?

All the best.

Absolutely. This ain’t a joke. They were taking selfie’s all over the place. There will be civil war if they don’t go after these people.

First order of business is security, 2nd order of business should be to restore normal government function (however dysfunctional it might be).

And I wouldn't take 25th and impeachment off the table (even though it is unlikely) when this is accomplished, but if done it needs to work. Nothing will be gained from such a process if it devolves into a tribalistic divide between the parties / cabinet, that would be throwing a lit match into the whole debacle.
