Seems time to take out the guns for civil war. They started it. Wrap them in their Trump flags and burn them. They are in open rebellion. Its happened. Time to remove them.

Traitors.
You seem to be wanting us to enter a situation in which hundreds, if not thousands on both sides will end up dead.
Just imagine the bloodshed if these protesters had a different skin color and agenda, but acted in the same way.
Exactly this.

Even though we all knew this was coming, it's still pretty scary to watch it happen.

These idiots posting on social media the pictures of the things they're doing today are going to find out why that's not really a good idea soon enough.

I don't think they are going to finish the certification today ..
Capitalism tries for a delicate balance: It attempts to work things out so that everyone gets just enough stuff to keep them from getting violent and trying to take other people’s stuff.

My belief is that Trump is about to cum himself, he is in exultation that thousands of his devoted followers are rising up to declare him King of America, nothing else matters to him at this point, he is joyous and not even the possibility of loss of life will register with him right now.

I suspect Elijah Schaffer may come to regret that tweet. As the Malheur protestors learned, law enforcement can have a long memory, and DC may not provide as many sympathetic juries as Oregon did.

Senators were evacuated from the chamber, and are being moved to another location (and being bussed(?) somewhere in secret, IIUC?)

It's cool to see how the police are like "Hey, we'd like you to leave" and then more people just keep wandering in. This is...insane.

There's video on CBS of them breaking the security glass of a door (presumably, how they breached the building).

The protestors aren't allowed to be 'armed', but it's amazing how many are carrying flags on poles with the heft of baseball bats, and did anybody notice that the guy I keep seeing with the buffalo headdress is carrying his flag on a full-fledged spear?

I have always been worried that the police will just move aside as they are 99.999% Trump supporters. I popped on social media and all the Trump supporters are totally okay with all of this. So ya thanks Trump...

There was a unconfirmed report that DOD refused to allow the deployment of the National Guard.

The National Guard was deployed to the U.S. Capitol after supporters of President Donald Trump breached the building Wednesday afternoon.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi requested troops after protesters stormed the building, prompting a lockdown.

Just think now we'll have to go through this every 4 years.

Used to be when you had an election you had it and that was that for years. Now its all the political crap you can hear all the time.

I get the feeling all Trump lickers and these folks storming DC are all Type A personalities. Dumb and loud. Probably were all bullies in school too.
