So true. Not an ounce of moral fibre among them :-|

Why won’t his kids condemn him — Money!

Disgusting scenes for a supposedly civilised country. But, being followers of Trump after his recent behaviour, what does it say about them?

Fat chance of any of his children doing that, Maggie. They'll probably be fighting among themselves for the unenviable position of being Trump's choice! :-D

Twitter locked Trumps account.
So far 4 people have been killed.
One woman was shot while three others died in 'medical emergencies'.

Do we now await one of his weasely children to actually condemn his actions?

I agree with all that you've said above.

I watched it on tv before I went to bed and was surprised at the restraint of the police - no one drew guns as far as I could see.

One thing I hope never comes to pass, as I wrote near the end of the 'All over Wednesday' thread yesterday evening - I have heard mention that Trump is laying the groundwork for one of his children to become President some time in the future. I truly hope last night's shocking scenes prompted by his rabble-rousing and his babyish, dummy-spitting behaviour have put the kybosh on that idea.

Good luck to Biden and co. As you wrote, Sylvia, an easier ride now that those two seats went in the Democrats' favour - something I, too, was hoping would happen.

EDIT: have just heard on the news that shooting did occur, so I missed that.

For once words fail me :-0

I could not believe what I saw on the TV this morning, and Trump in his message to the 'patriots' was still insisting that the election results had been stolen from him.

Since then, nothing!

Is he beginning to realise what he has unleashed or doesn't he care?

It's no longer God Bless America, but God Help America :-(

I was shocked at the scenes on tv I think normal republicans seem to be very angry like most people but I also think it might put the Republican Party back like the Labour Party over Blair taking us to war in Iraq

Pence did finally have the courage to "disobey" Trump, and said he would uphold his oath, and not refuse to accept any of the states' results.

Took him a long time ....... but then he apparently has "presidential aspirations".

Pence is covering his tracks - he's changed his Twitter background to a picture of Biden and Harris - as if that would result in leniency!
All as thick as pigs in the proverbial :-D :-D

...... is no longer any better than any other.

Absolutely disgusted at the scenes from Washington, DC today.

We know who's responsible for it .................. and it's par for the way he behaved in business, if every story is to be believed.

Let's just hope the Inauguration goes ahead without any problems on the 20th, and life in that country returns to something more like normal.

It's also good to hear that there are 2 new Democratic Senators, so the Democrats have control of the Senate, which means Biden should have an easier time at getting his bills and laws through.
