I liked the twitter line

'finally someone arrives the police can shoot!'

Yeah, these people don't seem like they're going to look at their watches and go away peacefully before 6pm.

This is insane. Fitting end to Trump's presidency. I can't believe how many morons there are in the US.

Or they are trying to avoid more violence and get evidence of these morons who are posting this online.

You are going to need a government building to do it in. I'm assuming they will use a nearby statehouse to get all the election paperwork done. Otherwise Nancy Polosi will be acting president for a short time.

Pence just unfollowed Trump on Twitter. This must mean something, right?

Rudy weighs in and it's exactly what you'd expect from him.

Trump bout to be sent to Guantanamo?

[Lanny_McDonald]

Who should own this ####? Republicans. They have been stoking the furnaces of hate and outrage for over two decades and it has finally culminated in this. ####ing disgrace. Each one of these people involved should be arrested and charged with sedition. Each member of the Republican Party that did not speak out against this slow slide to insanity should be charged with the same. This cannot be accepted. There needs to be an example made and I would be very happy to see both Cruz, McConnell, Trump, and all the cadre of idiots share the stand in the court room, and then share cells in a federal penitentiary.

Shouldn't he have more important things to do right now?

Right. Someone's been shot in the Capitol building, bombs are being found, and this fool is getting pissy about word choices (that aren't wrong). Sometimes I feel like the internet should be only allowed access by ID so we can weed out the children and hold accountable the morons.

I'm having a bad day. Sorry.

When the media effectively justified some of the BLM and Antifa riots over the summer as "necessary" these will be the consequences. Everyone who pulls this kind of #### believes their cause is righteous.

These MAGAs believe their cause every bit as noble as BLM if not more so, so to them, if it was okay then, it is okay now.

Unfortunately the overwhelming silent majority thinks both these groups of radicals are terrible but are afraid to say anything.

Biden speaking live about the protests:

Beyond the physical security issue, what about national security? Who knows how many sensitive documents were left exposed in both houses. Personal info, sensitive state documents etc.

I'm sure most of the people evecuated know to lock that stuff up but seeing a terrorist just sitting at Nancy Pelosi's desk with all her paperwork sitting there is frightening. Who knows what kind of material is laying around in various offices around the buildings?

[afc wimbledon]

the difference between this and a proper coup mirrors the difference between Trump and a proper dictator, he and his supporters are just too lazy fat and well fed, they have no idea what to do with the power they've got, in the third world hungry angry people led by the burningly ambitious seize power in order to run the country, in the US they mill around the rotunda taking selfies and wondering if the Denny's will take their out of state coupon when they go to eat that evening

That’s a truly scary thought. Hopefully these morons are too preoccupied with their selfies to realize this.

Good job Joe

Trump either does the right thing after Joe told him to do it

Or he cements his position as worst President ever

[flylock shox]

A President-Elect having to make this speech - directly addressing a sitting President to request that he order his coup-attempt to end - is an absolutely historic event. Just incredible.
