I assume airspace over the capitol is highly controlled. For pretty obvious reasons.

Been busy reading the Nenshi thread and two of his aides going on a controversial Hawaii trip typing up a big post, what did I miss?

When is a coup a coup? When the military is involved?
Seems to me Trump's call on Sunday with Georgia's secretary of state plus the events of today equals a coup.

This ending with him being removed without pardoning most of his criminal family would be spectacular.

To me this is where there should be several companies of National Guardsmen in riot control gear on site, with several other companies of National Guardsmen infantry. I don't know if Posse Comitatus is in effect here in terms of enforcing the law. but with the lax gun control in the US, we don't know who in there is armed and with what. Pull back the Capital Police who seem to be overwhelmed or unwilling to enforce things.
But, its pretty clear that its escalated beyond what I thought would happen and is now an extremely dangerous situation.

There should be emergency cabinet and Congressional sessions tonight to remove Trump from office. Enough already.

You’re right, it is preposterous.
I constantly hear on right wing talk shows how we need to understand the other side and make peace with our fellow citizens.

Faith in humanity slightly restored. I have a friend in Kentucky who was always a Trump supporter. He's a nice guy, just a little dull and fell for the lies.
Today made him realize that he was tricked. He feels awful for voting for that scumbag.

I don't think its that easy. I don't think that they can do that without some form of due process, even under 25.

Proceedings should commence under the 25th. I think its up to Pence to convene a cabinet meeting and then it goes to Congress?

the news outlets to the right of Fox must be loving every second of this.
I just don't plan to click on them to find out.
