Capitol attack and 6th of January hearings - Page 8 - Politics and Society -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

I did predict they would ban him in another thread a week ago and was told no way they would do it, so I hope that long shot prediction comes true!

See, you are not the only one to make unlikely predictions

This.

I have no idea what the situation is inside the Capitol, and it's possible that they do or will need to evacuate, but I'll be trusting their police over an Internet poster's assessment based on a Tweet quoting an unnamed lawmaker's report consisting of his/her limited knowledge.

You're the Internet poster, not him (as you're the one who said "They need to evacuate everyone now"), and nothing you've said in this post in any way changes my viewpoint.

I can tell, there are people here who are wishing this is some deeply organized movement, instead of what it appears to be, a bunch (using that term loosely) of idiots who don't have any idea what they are doing, and wanting to make a scene.

The lack of any sort of estimate concerning the amount people involved should temper your hot takes.

Didn't Orange Man just blow his chances for any mainstream TV shows, and also political influence in the aftermath of his so-called presidency?

stone cold lock Trump is more upset about his tweets being actually deleted now than about anything else that happened today

Media told people all through 2020 that if they’re angry they need to riot, the incoming VP even helped raise bail for them.

how could this ever happen?

Yeah, I would still be a bit surprised as well, but hey - if I get it right then I will take credit, and I did not even bring a towel to make the prediction!

Trump ends up making everyone around him lose, including himself. It is a special gift he and his derps demonstrate.

Edit: Apparently Trump banned from twitter for 12 hours, so partially correct prediction so far!!

Jeez, I guess bombarding people with unhinged call to action e-mails from politicians works (kinda).

Crossing fingers this fizzles out without escalation.
