Now that Putin has staged a test run to overrun US Govt property, what's going to happen next? He almost succeeded this time, but these uneducated rednecks weren't given the endgame instructions of what to do next. I don't even know if given instructions after they captured and executed some of our lawmakers is even necessary. Maybe use the angry riotous mob as footwork/manpower that are useful idiots and once breached from all angles, the real foreign agents come out and resume command?

- Will we get a successful attack in 2 years, 4 years?
- Will Vlady install a more competent leader than this game show host boss wanna be that can fully execute instructions?
- Will most of the GOP in congress be so deeply infiltrated that our system of democracy will be an insider job (some corrupt Democrats as well)?
- Will I become the next POTUS? I like the sound of that. POTUS Linux23!

Who will vote for me? LOL.

Depends on if white America will participate apparently.

An assassination attempt during the inauguration wouldn't be inconceivable. Of course, they'd have to do it right...take out Biden, Harris, and Pelosi in one fell swoop...

I shudder at the thought that ANY American might attempt such a thing, but still......

That would never happen so stop.

We have the finest white American PATRIOTS in the world. They would never do anything to desecrate our democracy, except kill a Capitol PO, and then vandalize the Capitol Federal building, and maybe potentially capture and torture some elected public congress people and staff, maybe Pence too, maybe.

This is all just maybe's ok. Just a maybe.

I can think of one guy who might by that point be in a suitable psychological state to volunteer as a suicide bomber. He might even be able to get clearance to attend.


...probably best not to invite him.

I'm not quite celebrating a failed coup yet.

I seem to remember that there was an attempted Coup on Gorbachev.. he seemed to weather the storm and then 3 months later.. the Union of the USSR was no more..

I'm not quite sure we're out of the woods yet.

They'll show up armed to the teeth so they can overpower any resistance offered to them. Remember they own the majority of guns and ammo in this country and many are in the very organizations that we depend upon on a daily basis. In other words they are embedded in the very fabric of our society.

Whoever takes a shout at it better have a better plan than a photo op at Nancy's desk.

We just got lucky the place was evacuated in time. If some of these lunatics ran into pelosi or pence or aoc or numerous others, it would not have been pretty. But these people were mostly unprepared because they are like Trump - they suck at running shit, but they are good at insanity. They ran this coup like Trump ran his biggest businesses. Just like Trump was still trying to run a casino but failed, these shitstains on humanity still tried to throw a coup and failed.

Not sure they thought it was a coup. They had no idea what would happen if they got to someone. They put them on trial. They hang them, then what. A coup thinks that part through. These guys were just hanging with their drinking buddies. Get together, chant, push through a police line, ransack an office or two, take photos and videos of everything, post them on-line and then go back to the hotel and board a flight that evening or the next day home. Great memories. The absurdity of it all. Never dawned on them about the consequences, a.k.a. arrests, prison, fired from jobs, resignations, administrative leave, etc.

You should read about the beer hall putsch, Hitler's first attempt at a coup to kidnap some Bavarian government official. It failed miserably, and looked as inept as this one, just like these idiots couldn't get to a single congressperson. They still tried. These Trump inspired fascists wanted their hands on government officials.

I would love for some real Americans, not the ones on late 1950's TV , which I think most of Trumper's reality is based on, might come to their senses. It's funny, I was about to say it's hard for me to be objective about this, as I was drowned in the sense about what to be about to be an an American from my total immersion from my parents (after all, myabout what it was to be an American.

Why do you keep ignoring the IEDs that were planted and had to be detonated by bomb squads as nothing more than some guys playing around in the Capital. Does Fox and right-wing media really have that much control of your brain that you'd believe their lies?

It wasn't much of a coup, effectively...this mob of wanna-be weekend jihadists were the proverbial dog chasing the car--then they caught it and very few of them knew what to do. That's not to excuse any of it, they should all be penalized with whatever laws exist to their fullest extent. And of course there were a few "tactical" goobers that were a bit more prepared and were likely looking for politicians to string up.

They never should have made it into the building. No group should have, not an unscheduled tour of boy scouts or Scientologists seeking new victims or whatever. This happened to be an angry mob formed in part by known terrorist groups like the Oathkeepers who have stated desires of stringing up politicians, on a day when Congress was gathered (including those who have been threatened by said groups), so o hey might want to, you know, beef up security (?!) A complete and utter failure of security, which you have to wonder whether it was by design.

I doubt Russia had anything to do with it, it would have been more effective if so. They'll laugh their ass off and reap the rewards though. Trump helped froth the monster up and set it loose, and oh well it would be too bad if they happened to capture or kill a few people that have gone against him in the past. That's probably the extent of the "planning" here. Doesn't mean it isn't dangerous of course. I'd hope any follow-up terrorists get repelled at the entrances next time, unless the plan is to let them in in order to arrest as many as possible (ie, a trap).

According to some black capitol police officers, a lot of these people were actually prepared. And racist, like Trump's base


"“That was a heavily trained group of militia terrorists that attacked us,” said the officer, who has been with the department for more than a decade. “They had radios, we found them, they had two-way communicators and earpieces. They had bear spray. They had flash bangs ... They were prepared. They strategically put two IEDs, pipe bombs in two different locations. These guys were military trained. A lot of them were former military,” the veteran said, referring to two suspected pipe bombs that were found outside the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee and the Republican National Committee. "

....

"
“I got called a n***er 15 times today,” the veteran officer shouted in the rotunda to no one in particular. “Trump did this and we got all of these fucking people in our department that voted for him. How the fuck can you support him?”

“I cried for about 15 minutes and I just let it out.”"

I still can't believe that this crowd dragged a white police officer out into the street and beat him to death. Who knows what they would have done had they gotten their hands on congressmen and the security sworn to protect them.
