Certifying the Vote.

I hadn't seen that. Wonder if they also know the South Vietnamese also lost.

It's definitely not the most prominent flag in the crowd, but I saw at least five of them, and not all together.

McConnell is in the process of throwing Trump under the bus. Too little too late, but at least it helps.

From 538's live blog:

McConnell is essentially making a speech arguing that America should be a democratic republic. And that position is dividing his party.

The only thing I can find online is that Trump has a lot of support among the Vietnamese-American population, and they've been showing up at his rallies with South Vietnam flags.

i'm not sure this is the correct thread, but I don't know of a better one, and it doesn't seem worthy of it's own thread, so......


Does anyone understand why some of the Trumpist protestors are flying South Vietnamese flags?


Maybe something along the lines of, "They were overrun by socialists just like America is about to be?"

I saw that too. I'm wondering if it is a way for Vietnam Veterans to show their presence.

There's a pretty agitated crowd outside the Capital. Irritant spray being used. Some smoke, but it does not seem to be any sort of tear gas.



It's going to be a long day.

Why not? Doesn't Biden want a photo op?

Think these guys will find anyone to offer them sanctuary when the police close off all exits and declare everyone trapped there violating curfew? That is well in their playbook after all.

Ted Cruz...ugh. What a tool.

My wife is watching; I'm not; preferring to take a shower, do some laundry, take down Xmas lights, etc. But I walked by at a moment when the camera was on Pence. My goodness but he looks uncomfortable! It brought me joy to see that!

One of the songs played by the Trumpest prostestors is very appropirate to this whole exercise;'
Pink Floyd's "Brain Damage".
Also playing the theme from "Titanic".

I might watch the first couple speakers, but I think the stupid on the part of the objectors is going to be too much to handle.

The idiots on the House side have had 2 standing ovations so far. I'm watching the Senate but it's hard to take the GOP arguments.

I'd fight Giuliani anywhere, anyplace, anytime.

There probably will be a trial. Giuliani is certainly headed for indictment.

Law and order. It's Antifa that riots, not Trump supporters.

But utterly lying about what the Democrats had been doing at elections.

 

[Skeptic Ginger]

Ted Cruz...ugh. What a tool.

All we want is a commission, that's all... so logical and just.

 

[Skeptic Ginger]

But utterly lying about what the Democrats had been doing at elections.

Gotta throw that false equivalence out there.

 

[DevilsAdvocate]

It looks like they are getting rid of the fake electors by having the Parliamentarian only pass on the certificates that were received "from a state". That isn't really actually in the law, but is maybe sort of implied. I guess that works.

 

[Stacyhs]

I'd like to slap Cruz across the face with a mace.

 

[dudalb]

The Mob is trying to storm the Capitol.
Time to stop folling around. Shoot the SOB'.s.

 

[ToddH]

And protesters storm the capital building. Very dangerous stuff.
