Crazy scenes..

CNN describing it as an 'attempted coup' repeatedly now.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Trumpo proving once again that he doesn't care about anyone whose apart from himself.

But it won't be his fault. Someone else will be to blame.

Reports that someone has been shot in the chest in the Capitol.

Indeed - just stumbled across the video whilst generally keeping track of events. Horrible.

CNN describing it as an 'attempted coup' repeatedly now.

Well it is CNN.

Crap News Network.

Remember when this used to happen "somewhere else"?

Where we'd look at the crazy African / Asian / Eastern European dictator and thank our lucky stars that Western Democracy is soooo much more advanced?

America is currently being run by a right wing mob, led by a man who cannot accept defeat in any way. When this is eventually over he needs a 20 stretch in Rikers.

The most worrying thing is that most will legally have guns on both sides

 

[Pevenseagull]

I thought this only happened is 'shithouse' countries?

Some legacy

Flicking between CNN and BBC, and as usual for such events BBC is superior. Their coverage is measured and gives the information you need.

Not really. The Trumpers would have broken the law when they brought their guns, unless they had a DC permit.

Always 100% impartiality from the Beeb.

I mean, if it looks like a coup and smells like a coup...

According to Auntie Beeb, Trump has just ordered in the National Guard.

Might not be the brightest idea if things have calmed down.

Al Jazeera is the best of a bad bunch.

Agree entirely, but during events like this this I’m always interested in watching the local coverage it it’s available (however biased/misinformed/sensationalist).

Will go to BBC later for a sensible summary of events.

The Beeb and Al J take some beating on international affairs.

Of course, both left and right claim the Beeb is not impartial, which pretty much shows they are as much as is possible.
