The U.S. President provoked actual riot. 🤦♂️ Ev'ry grievance he claimed, they would buy it. Hordes stormed the halls of Congress, Hell-bent on making a mess... Well, I s'pose no one thought he'd go quiet!

Ce quasi coup d’état est effrayant, gravissime, il était évident qu’il allait semer le chaos, la terreur, la haine et de voir des partisans si enclins à le suivre… C’est terrible à voir ! Tout coup d’état est abominable à constater, le manque d’intelligence est affligeant, heureusement vous le dites sur un rythme qui refait battre le coeur, merci, bonne nuit
Bonne nuit, Louise.
J’aime ton poème. Mais je pense qu’il a besoin d’un titre différent. Qui peut rire maintenant?
Eh bien, je suppose que le titre du poème se veut légèrement encourageant.
Peut-être. Mais, je ne suis pas optimiste.
L’optimisme irrationnel est dans ma nature. Je ne sais pas pourquoi.
Ah. Ma nature est pessimiste. L’ironie veut qu’en hébreu, je m’appelle Tikvah…
Ca c’est drôle.
Yes so funny
The term Coup d’etat, makes it seem worse. And that they still follow it.
💯
Just worried for my younger family members still living in The District. Most of all, for my estranged uncle, who works for the Capitol Police.
Well the rioting was only around the Capitol – it wasn’t throughout the District… not sure how reassuring that is…
Yes, but I read that the KKK, I mean, pro-Trumpers were roaming the streets of the city after the dispersal.
😦
Me too. Also worried about my family and friends in DC.
Virtual hugs!
Hugs!
Lord help us for the next 2 weeks with him as president 🙏
Yeah 😦
I, like many others, predicted he would not go out of the white house willingly. This is such a disgrace of a magnitude we have never seen. My hear hurts for our country.
😦
I honestly never thought it would come to this…
It is frightening
I expected skulduggery but not this.
Yep; I’m in the same camp as you, Andrew.
I don’t know how he was elected in the first place. All the non voters!
Same
😢😡😢
😦
As an American I am ashamed of this President and the actions of his cult of personality. I am terrified that Democracy is in it’s death throes. Yes, we do need to laugh or else dissolve into tears.
Indeed 😦
Regarding the POTUS’ Twitter and Facebook accounts, some would even argue that it should have been suspended or terminated a long time ago for continually unleashing falsehood, misinformation and mass distrust. Fortunately, he has not (yet) been given free access to software or button(s) with which to launch weapon(s) of mass destruction.
In any case, those who are fair-minded and discerning are not easily swayed by his constant thrashing around and beating in the bush. Speaking of whether “the president really is a very stable genius”, SoundEagle’s adage is that Trump is a fool’s idea of a genius. In addition, the POTUS has long slid from being a “Law and Order” President to a “Flaw and Border” President.
I have given a very stern and stark warning about what the end result will be in the final paragraph of my post entitled “Misquotation Pandemic and Disinformation Polemic: Mind Pollution by Viral Falsity” at https://soundeagle.wordpress.com/2020/12/19/misquotation-pandemic-and-disinformation-polemic-mind-pollution-by-viral-falsity/
It is all a big mess!
Wow – that is QUITE an article! I’ll have to come back to it later to do it justice. Thank you for sharing, SE!

I would be delighted if you could kindly submit a comment to my said article, as I am very keen and curious to know what you think or make of it.
👍
Thank you, David, for commenting at my blog. I have made a second reply to your second comment there. And this reply contains some stylized Hebrew and Arabic words.
Yes, I saw! Thank you 🙂
Dear David,
You might want to go and take a look again because I have recently changed both the Hebrew and Arabic words there.
Please be informed that you might need to use a desktop or laptop computer with a large screen to view the rich multimedia contents available for heightening your multisensory enjoyment at my blog, which could be too powerful and feature-rich for iPad, iPhone, tablet or other portable devices to handle properly or adequately.
In addition, since my blog contains advanced styling and multimedia components plus animations, it is highly recommended to read my posts and pages directly in my blog so that you will be able to see and experience all of the refined and glorious details. Hence, it is prudent to refrain from viewing my blog in the WordPress Reader, which tends to ignore or strip away some styling and formatting components, and also fails to display animations, all of which are aplenty in my posts and pages, which will look very different and even improper or amiss in the WordPress Reader.
If you have been wondering whether SoundEagle has a fun and fanciful side, then you have come across the concrete proof at the post entitled “🎴 If My Name Were Moon Tonight… 🌛🌝🎑🈷 with Clair de Lune 🌕”, which you recently visited and liked. For best results, you will need to use a high-resolution, large screen and adequately powerful computer to achieve full experience and multisensory enjoyment in the post, where I hope that you will snap up the good chance to watch my dynamic animation produced in high resolution (1920 x 1280). Please enjoy the animation on the big high-resolution screen of your desktop or laptop computer.
Switch the video playback to full-screen mode. The animation starts calmly and will gradually climax. As you can see, the post also comes with my rhyming poem and musical performance. Since you are an excellent poet and discerning artist yourself, I am definitely very keen and curious to know what you think or make of my mixed media offerings and presentations there. Looking forward to your submitting an enlightening comment to my said post. Thank you in anticipation.
Can he be removed from office early?
I don’t know. I would assume that there is some mechanism for doing so, technically speaking, but is there enough political will (especially so close to the end of his term)?
People are talking about the 25th amendment and Pence removing him from office…I don’t know anything about this, but when you look at the damage the guy can do in 1 day I’d say the sooner the better…
In theory, yes.
But again – is there the political will? 🤷♂️
I don’t know.
Excuse my language but there bloody should be!
It’s sweet that the word ‘bloody’ is considered foul. You can fly over to the USA and shout ‘bloody’ over and over again from the rooftops, and nobody would even blink 🤭
Really? It’s a little bit rude in the UK, like, you’d tell the kids off for saying it!
Yeah people in the USA would either look at you funny or just think of you as a funny-speaking and/or cute foreigner. To the extent that they understand the connotation of the word ‘bloody’ at all, it’s from TV and movies… and even then, I am sure most Americans don’t appreciate how rude it actually sounds to British ears.
It’s like in Spanish, ‘mierda’ is a lot worse than ‘shit’
I will definitely keep that in mind 🧠
I hear a poem about Monty Mierda
I expected such occurences only in here🤭..now I believe humans on any land have same attributes
It’s truly shocking.
Humans are humans, of course, but in the best case scenarios we build social, political, and religious systems to temper our worst inclinations. In this case, the systems we have did not suffice 😦
-David
I agree but such incident was perhaps expected. However the measure of happening lead people to wondering
A lot of people expected it, but I think many of those were already inclined to see the worst in him because of his positions or/and abrasiveness.
Naively, it would seem, I believed it wouldn’t come to this.
He was entitled to petition the courts, and he was entitled to his opinion (even as President)… but there is no line that this riot did not cross. It’s unfathomable how little regard he has for – everything.
Now that he has already been thrown out.. believe that better days are coming.😁
We could see that from here… But for it to happen
I think for the first time, transition is taking such a bad shape. In India, after declaration of results, transition is always smooth, though claims and counterclaims continue, but that is the essential evil of democracy.
Well I don’t even know when the USA had a problem with transition! Not in modern history!
He has always been the bully….never thought he would go so far….the sooner he leaves the better for USA…Republicans must be ashamed as well…
Navin,
One of the sad things about all of this, to my mind, is that Trump actually represented some political ideas that I agree with; and his insanity and megalomania discredit even the good things that he accomplished and stood for. It’s utterly depressing.
-David
David, I understand that…but his psycho behaviour has been stronger than the love for his country….when you balance everything with the scale of “loser or winner”, then it’s difficult to reach far. He didn’t respect the voting process….he called the voters (/ citizens) fraud….he didn’t care of democracy….and now he lead these so called protesters to the Capitol….today he’s shamed everything….his goods are minor compared to his bads/ evils….this my view & I’m not even a US citizen
😞
It’s a sad day….for the US citizens….for USA….for the World 😌
Wow, I didn’t think they would go that far. It’s sad and ridiculous to see a President behaving like a kid instead of accepting his loss and stepping down with dignity.
Poignant write!
That’s exactly how I feel. It’s surreal.
That is a good comment Introverted Thoughts
“Wow, I didn’t think they would go that far. It’s sad and ridiculous to see a President behaving like a kid instead of accepting his loss and stepping down with dignity.

David
I didn’t think I could write this in rhyme myself but you have done well…….
Thank you kindly, Sir!
I figured you’d appreciate this one, Don 🙂
Strange and worrying times indeed! Today I read a report in a big UK newspaper from someone who left the UK some years ago and they were complaining about returning to the UK because of the way the UK Prime Minister has treated the British public regarding leaving the EU and so now they were afraid to return to the UK! Strange and worrying perceptions all round!
Yes. And unbelievably we in Israel are headed to our 4th round of elections in two years.
David, I should have said that the person in the article I read had been living in the USA for many years and was now fearful of returning to the UK!!!! Is that called ‘irony’? Also, you in Israel having 4 rounds of elections in 2 years is just crazy! Change is happening just too quickly! 🙏
yes, it is, and in our case – it’s because the country is divided over whether Prime Minister Netanyahu should stay in office or not – he’s been unable to form a stable coalition for two years now, and we keep on having to return to the ballot box.
??? Strange person
As a New Yorker, I knew what and who Trump was. So I am not shocked at all. I am only aghast at his followers and enablers who seem to have succumbed to a mass insanity. This is most decidedly not just “a difference of opinion” as one Republican Congressman said in justificationof his actions.(K)
🤦♂️
About the best response I’ve seen…
❤
Well expressed, but it should also serve as a revelation! They succeeded to breach the capitol, because they were WHITE! A racist country will always be opened to be fooled! Trump character was obvious and he just like the rioters were free to act in hatred, rage and against the constitution! When someone tell who they are, believe them! Great poem and point made.
Tony,
I’m so glad you liked this piece; and I understand where you’re coming from.
Be well,
David
You be well too David!
Excellent, my friend! 🇺🇸
Thanks so much❣️
he was born a psychopath …
😦
Sorry I missed this post earlier, David. I found reading your post and the comments interesting. The incident was very distressing and waiting for the inauguration is stressful. I have gotten far behind on my emails. Glad I didn’t miss this one!
😀
I really didn’t want to write more about the incident than this – so much has been and will be written about it. I’m somewhat sick of it already. But on the other hand, I just couldn’t let it go by without noting it on my blog somehow!
