suffice to say the allegation falls flat.

it doesnt though. just because most people there weren't there to do harm doesn't mean there weren't groups present that did intend harm to the political process and leaders. the parliamentarians' offices were ransacked. not most of congress, not most of the offices of the people the mob hated, the parliamentarians. that is a particular place to ransack because its where the electoral votes are supposed to be stored but fortunately they weren't there. somebody went there with explicit plans to fuck up the american election. trump's response was to keep watching on tv. i don't know how we are so far apart on this.

trump's response was to keep watching on tv.

  1. He was in the middle of his speech when it started

  2. He sent several tweets telling the crowd to go home. Twitter was deleting them.

  3. There is disputes over who was in charge of the Guard, and there was certainly the police letting everyone in.

when it started, how about for the next 3 hours? a handful of tweets are not the limits of presidential power. there are disputes over who was in charge of the guard and why the police were so lackadaisical to start but thats not an excuse for what happened.
