Trump:  "Let's focus on a peaceful transition"

Democrats:  "No."

If trump were serious about a peaceful transition he would resign or commit suicide. So far he hasn’t done either because he isn’t serious about a peaceful transition.

Don’t get bricked coming home from a grocery store, kid, assuming you still go to grocery stores and aren’t fully dependent on food banks like so many in this republican economy.

Try again.

Democrats: Let's focus on a peaceful transition.

Trump: Fuck that shit. I am filing lawsuits alleging no evidence to try to overturn a fair and free election.

Democrats: You lost all those lawsuits. All the states have completed their recounts and audits. Let's focus on a peaceful transition.

Trump: Fuck that shit. I'll try to get the courts and legislatures to overturn the certified votes again without any evidence.

Democrats: You lost again. Let's focus on a peaceful transition.

Trump: Fuck that shit. I will try to have Congress overturn the electoral votes for no good reason, and have.Pence declare me the winner!

Democrats: Pence said no and there is no possibility the challenges will pass. Let's focus on a peaceful transition.

Trump: Fuck that shit. I will have my rallying forces, armed, ready and present by my call, March down to the Capitol (note to Red: it is a building)!

MAGA men, QAnon followers and white supremacists storm Capitol (again, it is a building) to the horror and revulsion of the whole country

Trump: Love you guys!

Entire nation including many Republican legislators: What the fuck is wrong with you?

Trump: My coup failed. Let's focus on a peaceful transition.

Democrats: Now? Fuck that shit. You cannot escape the consequences of your acts.

Heh.   "....again, it is a building."

  It is with a heavy heart and a deep sense of responsibility that I must submit my resignation, effective immediately, from my post on this Death Star. However, I see no other choice.

Now is the time for all of us to stand up from our posts and do what is right.

It’s been an honor to work on this Death Star. I love the aesthetic. I love how I’ve been able to pursue my greatest passion: destroying planets and pressing buttons. I love my little hat that is a sunshade for no reason! I love the easy-to-access computer interfaces, the blast-door equipped hallways and that one area we can access only by pressing a button to extend a bridge. Our design always made a lot of sense to me! And I love our reliable trash disposal system and the little one-eyed tentacle fella that lives in it. In general, I’m proud of this station and of what we’ve achieved on it, together....

Anyone who listens to anyone you listen to must be fully and completely disarmed.

LOL

I agree with many of the things Biden/Harris will be trying to achieve. Think they'll be having trouble getting laws passed.
If I were a recently elected Dem politician I'd be very wary of starting a 'war on guns'. I certainly would not be voting for any law that would stop voters in my state from wearing guns in their own homes.
Get it wrong and Blue states now could very quickly turn red.
Wearing a gun in your own home is a frightening level of paranoia.

Really?

If this young mom had been wearing a gun... in her living room, with it ready to fire when the big huge monstrous man who happened to be Black, kicked down the door, deadbolt and all, at 10.30am and bashed and kicked her senseless then threw her down the stairs...she could have whipped out her gun and shot him as he came across the room.

Yes, that is what is happening to people in their own homes mid morning in America.
Nowhere is safe.

Police are searching for the robber who punched and kicked a young mother in front of her 3-year-old daughter before throwing her down the stairs of her home in an upscale New Jersey community, and authorities hope footage of the attack captured on a nanny camera will help identify the intruder.

Millburn Police in Essex County said the woman and her daughter were watching cartoons on the couch, a baby boy asleep upstairs, when the suspect kicked in the dead-bolted door of their Cypress Street home at about 10:30 a.m. Friday and pounced on the mother.

The suspect beat the mother as the little girl watched, punching and kicking the woman at least 16 times before pushing her down the basement stairs, police said. 

The assault was captured on a nanny cam. Footage from that camera shows the woman being tossed around and beaten as her daughter (seen as a blur in the video) looks on. The mother stays nearly silent during the end of the attack.

"She stayed quiet because she didn't want to upset the 3-year-old child who was witnessing the whole crime," said Millburn Police Captain Michael Palardy, who called the brutal assault "despicable."

The attacker appears to stop at one point to say something to the child. She was not hurt.

The suspect took off with jewelry and valuables, including the woman's weddings rings and her purse, police said.

Weak sauce.

What were they armed with?

How many were armed?

Did Trump arm them or ask them to be so?

How many even planned to "storm the building"?  And who were (though not innocent) the followers caught up in the event?  What percentage just walked around or walked around and took selfies?
