Cops were in there taking selfies. ANY COP THAT STILL SUPPORTS TRUMP SHOULD HAVE TO TURN IN THEIR BADGE AND WEAPON. Any rank. Top ranked officers did not prepare for the rioters because they support them. Lower ranked guys barely put up a fight or let them in.

Trump getting elected was like a really bad and unbelievable scripted reality show. Shit like that only happens on stupid ass reality shows. His 4 years had so many reality show moments that seemed fake. And this is how the the show's winding down after the last commercial break? This really does seem like a fake ass reality show, but it's real life. And there's still a couple weeks left, fucking christ.

Well hopefully after the season finally this show will be cancelled.

I agree with this. I do not think the Police should ever shoot rioters. Let them do their shit then round them up. Property can be fixed.
What is amazing was the Police appeared to immediately cave. Also didn’t appear to be many police there.
As I said earlier, if I was in charge of that police force, I would actively be looking for people to fire. Obviously today was a complete Policing failure.
Any Cop dumb enough to post with the rioters would be fired, that’s a bad mistake to make and looks bad upon all in uniform.
Fuck them if they claim union bs, if fire them and they can sue me. Any contractual type stuff that prevents a termination I would make those cops work lives miserable.

I slightly disagree. I would have drawn a line (say the entrance to the building - or a certain room. Anyone that ran past a certain point of no return is shot. No question. But shooting people as they are all storming up the stairs and you have 1-3 officers vs. that is pure idiocy - which is what posters here have been saying is they should have shot at hundreds of people swarming at you with handguns.

Latest stuff I'm seeing (and I'm watching 1.5 hour old stuff because I'm trying to catch up) is there has been plenty of tear gas, huge assault rifles, etc... used . Pics of protestors laying down with their hands behind their back with the guns pointed at them.

Hawley, and Cruz are traitors. When the dems take over they need to make his life very difficult.
Wouldn't mind seeing them take some Constitutional actions against those members:
"Each House [of Congress] may determine the Rules of its proceedings, punish its members for disorderly behavior, and, with the concurrence of two-thirds, expel a member."

Mitt comes out strong.
*no link cnn breaking news story so it will be buried soon

Republican Sen. Mitt Romney, who has condemned GOP attempts to subvert the will of the voters in the presidential election, released a statement Wednesday night containing remarks he would have said in the US Senate before the insurrection in the US Capitol.

“We gather today due to a selfish man’s injured pride and the outrage of his supporters whom he has deliberately misinformed for the past two months and stirred to action this very morning. What happened here today was an insurrection, incited by the President of the United States. Those who choose to continue to support his dangerous gambit by objecting to the results of a legitimate, democratic election will forever be seen as being complicit in an unprecedented attack against our democracy. They will be remembered for their role in this shameful episode in American history. That will be their legacy,” Romney said.
Romney went on to say, “I urge my colleagues to move forward with completing the electoral count, to refrain from further objections, and to unanimously affirm the legitimacy of the presidential election.”

There are likely to be so many bad consequences of this.

Authoritarian despots the world over are going to draw succour from it. And the US has lost still more of any 'moral authority' it had. I bet far-right nutters here in Europe are going to be fired-up by it, maybe some will eventually do something similar. The Trumpist right themselves won't stop here, this is probably just the start. They are going to go on causing trouble all over the US for years to come, almost certainly presenting more danger for vulnerable groups than for the State, especially if they are allowed to retain Trump as a figurehead.

Also, I'm guessing black people across the west, will notice the double-standard in how white conservative folk are treated compared to black people, and that's going to increase alienation and bitterness, everywhere, not just in the US.

The only way to head-off some of those concequences is to come down hard on the perpetrators, including the pot-stirrer-in-chief.

You would think that after two impeachments in recent history that people would be well versed in how impeachment works but I guess not.
Well most republican senators said he probably did commit a crime, but they were not going to convict him.

Needs a 2/3 vote of the full Senate to expel a Senator (there is no impeachment process.)

Not gonna happen, because Republicans have proven time and again they’re cowards when it comes to standing up on principle.

This is Trumps tweet that is "no longer available"

"These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long. Go home with love & in peace. Remember this day forever!"

It’s 100% mafia-boss phrasing. Rile up the troops about the injustice to your family, then wink and shrug and adjourn the meeting.

Traitor Trump told these terrorists that he loves them, which are the words Eric wishes he hears, but doesn't get on his birthday.

(Sportage) Trust me. Trump will resign and they will go home voluntarily. The operative word is resignation.

Lol sure okay. He's more likely to go address the crowd and call on the police to side with them

I'll amend that comment. I should say there are people around trump advising him TO RESIGN. Whether or not trump would listen is doubtful. But this blatant attack on democracy by Donald Trump will develop a momentum of its own over the next few days and there WILL be pressure on Trump to resign. And... from his close supporters. A woman has died in all of this, and that is on trump's hands.
