I remember when Obama was call a conspiracist working somehow for the socialists and to impose shira law.

Isn't it shocking how mild that seems now after four years of utter, daily lunacy - like it's from some bygone age?

If this was an Arab country the news would read "Repressive state guns down innocent "pro-democracy" activists, protesting the recent election - the legitimacy of which has been questioned from many quarters."

You don't seem to be paying attention: sitting president urges followers to overturn democratic election.

He wanted to legalize same sex marriage, AND impose Sharia Law!

Yes. The good old days. When presidents of both parties had epithets like"insane","communist",and "fascist" thrown at them in hyperbole.

With Trump "fascist", "traitor, and "insane", are not hyperbolic at all. The adjectives apply literally.

We may have to make it illegal to be conservative.

Don't even say that lol.
This post might get cited on Newsmax as evidence of a socialist/Biden-led attempt to put conservatives in concentration camps!

I respectfully disagree. In my opinion, ours is now a 3-party system -- Democrats, Republicans, and Trump fanatics.

Since Trump will be out of office soo, I now refer them as Trump lovers than Trump supporters.

The real article, if this wasn't America or Europe, would be:
"Supporters of incumbent president Trump of the United States have violently stormed the US Capitol building. Trump, a millionaire-turned-politician, has repeatedly incited his supporters to commit violence and question the legitimacy of the election. Opposition candidate Joe Biden won the presidential election in November in a vote that several American and international observers have certified as legitimate and free of irregularities. Trump has repeatedly accused the opposition of orchestrating widespread fraud. Despite providing no evidence of this, and these claims being dismissed by his own hand-picked judges, Trump's base has largely accepted these claims as fact. Opposition politicians have received threats of violence from radicals supporters of the president, threats which Trump has refused to condemn. International observers have expressed concern that democracy in the country is under serious threat from Trump, the ruling party, and their followers."

The Senate is going to reconvene at about 8 PM.

I think the House will follow suit, too.

I'm glad that the legislatures are courageous enough to continue their important proceedings.

America will not be ruled by the mob!

The transfer of power will happen, the peaceful part, too late.
