Carlson once again deliberately trying to confuse entirely legitimate anger at centuries of oppression, official and unofficial racism and lack of accountability with fascists and Nazis trying to stage a coup against a president-elect who won a thumping democratic victory

Almost like he's a full blown Nazi propagandist

Dems getting ready to impeach him again.

As they should. He can't be allowed to skate scott free. If Pence and the cabinet won't do the right thing and he won't resign, then it's the only option. Otherwise, what's to discourage the next guy doing it?

But will they actually do it?

Talk is cheap - they need to move now

Carlson now talking about economic structures and how poor people get a raw deal

Wot a larf

Like a great white shark giving a lecture on safety for swimmers at northern New South Wales beaches

"Swim with me, I won't eat you, honest"

A Capitol cop has now joined those killed.

Five dead now.

This blood is all over Trump's hands.

Correction: the cop is not dead; he's on life support. Hit over the head with a fire extinguisher.

Trump is going to see out his term. However, any order that he gives will go through the secretary of the relevant department.

Impeachment will take too long.
25th Ammendment won't work because they do not have the support for it. Pence obviously has no interest in invoking it.

Trump is trying to self pardon.
He really doesn't know when to shut up. He has turned against the people who rushed everything for him during that insurrection

Impeachment can be done in a day if the will is there

But the will is not there, which is rather depressing

It's all talk

Betsy De Vos the latest rat to flee the sinking shit, sorry, ship

All the democratic bravado is just a show. The president has done wrong but it would be damaging to republicans and America as a while if it happens.

I find it quite uncomfortable watching American news channels but interesting.

On the contrary, it would be hugely beneficial in the long run, there has to be accountability

Refusal to act means victory for the fascist coup plotters

Hitler was let off with a rap on the knuckles in 1923

Bit of a bad move to do that

I don't think I could envisage news headlines "President Trump removed from office" nevermind the potential for prosecution after his presidency.

What's the betting the lad that threw the extinguisher was also flying a Blue Lives Matter flag?

Listening to the Radio this morn and Mick Mulveany (proper dose) but he reckons the next 4 years of Trump's life won't be worth living with law suits and congressional enquiries. It's something that'll go on and on and on.

Agree that there's very little time to get rid of him and it's really just about making his last 20 or days a living nightmare.

What's the saying, there's no bad publicity? He'll be fine, he's managed all these years to get away with things and being an ex president I can only see him making more money..

Film deals, book deals, all sorts of attention, he may move to an island but he won't disappear, he's had nearly 80 million people voting for him, he'll milk that for as long as he can
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

We know 1 MAGA intruder was shot dead by Capitol police, 1 policeman was murdered during the insurrection. What happened the other 3 who died?
