Hopefully - this does not play out like a real movie. The Seige? Bruce Willis as occupying general? Where’s our Denzel Washington and that Monk guy?

caulfield12 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 (edited) The woman who was shot is in critical condition, fwiw...if this was Antifa or BLM, the casualty count would be in the teens and likely 100’s with Trump authorizing deadly force to National Guard, who undoubtedly would have been called in a matter of minutes. This does make me even more proud of those like Stacey Abrams who didn’t quit but took their voter suppression battle to the American streets/neighborhoods and then the ballot box in Georgia and Wisconsin. PS. Growing up watching Saturday morning cartoons in the 1970’s early 80’s, this is a scene one could never have possibly conceived of on Schoolhouse Rock.

caulfield12 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Biden: "Our democracy is under unprecedented assault" From CNN's Maureen Chowdhury President-elect Joe Biden addressed the riots that erupted at the US Capitol building, calling it an "assault" on democracy. "At this hour, our democracy's under unprecedented assault. Unlike anything we've seen in modern times. An assault on the citadel of liberty, the Capitol itself. An assault on the people's representatives and the Capitol Hill police, sworn to protect them. And the public servants who work at the heart of our Republic... Let me be very clear. The scenes of chaos at the Capitol do not reflect a true America. Do not represent who we are. What we're seeing are a small number of extremists dedicated to lawlessness. This is not dissent. It's disorder. It's chaos. It borders on sedition. And it must end now," Biden said. Cnn.com A White House adviser said some aides around President Donald Trump are becoming furious that the President won't do more to stop the insurrection at the Capitol. The adviser said aides have been all but begging Trump to come out and make a statement to begin to calm the situation. "He doesn't want to" to do more than what he is doing right now, the adviser said. "If we could throw him to the angry mob, we'd throw him to the angry mob now," the adviser said.

caulfield12 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 (edited) President-elect Joe Biden called on President Trump to appear on national television and condemn his supporters who breached the US Capitol. “The words of a president matter, no matter how good or bad that president is. At their best, the words of a president can inspire. At their worst, they can incite. Therefore, I call on President Trump to go on national television now to fulfill his oath and defend the Constitution and demand an end to this siege,” Biden said in an address to Americans. Biden called the mob an “insurrection.” “Threatening the safety of elected officials, it’s no protest. It's insurrection,” Biden said. “The world's watching. Like so many other Americans, I am shocked and saddened that our nation, so long the beacon of light and hope for democracy, has come to such a dark moment.” "President Trump: Step up," Biden added. The work of the next four years will be restoring democracy, Biden says President-elect Joe Biden addressed the pro-Trump riots happening right now at the Capitol, saying the work of the next four years will be rebuilding democracy. "The work of the moment and the work of the next four years must be the restoration of democracy – of decency, honor, respect, the rule of law. Just plain, simple decency," Biden said. The President-elect said he is "shocked and saddened" that the country has come to "such a dark moment," but added that like other moments in history, America will prevail. "Through war and strife, America's endured much. And we will endure here and we will prevail again and we'll prevail now," Biden said. "Today's reminder, a painful one, that democracy is fragile and to preserve it requires people of good will," he said. https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/congress-electoral-college-vote-count-2021/index.html Edited January 6, 2021 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Smoke grenades being deployed on Senate side of the US Capitol From CNN's Kristin Wilson, Ted Barrett, Manu Raju, Ali Zaslav and Sarah Fortinsky Smoke grenades are being deployed on the Senate side of the US Capitol, as Capitol police work to clear the building of rioters. Windows on the west side of the Senate have been broken, and hundreds of officers are amassing on the first floor of the building. CNN reporters working in the US Senate, have been told by the Capitol Police that they are being evacuated from the Senate, to an undisclosed location. The Capitol Police also say the Senate won’t be in session in the Capitol building today or anytime soon, saying the building was “trashed.” While the officers appear to be speaking with authority, CNN has not independently confirmed that the Senate leadership has made that decision.
