This is going to end up like the dog that's chasing a car and finally gets to bite and hang on to one of the tires of the moving vehicle.

I mean, so they got to occupy the Capitol building. Are they now going to defend the takeover vowing to do whatever it takes to keep it in their possession? What happens when the NG troops/other security forces show up and start the process of arresting them for their treasonous acts?

Security breaches galore of gov't offices have been perpetrated. Are these protesters going to be held accountable for that too?

Capital police are so obviously complicit in this. There needs to be an investigation into why they so obviously ALLOWED this to happen.

I can guarantee you that at the end of the day, we’ll find that DC Police, Capitol Police and National Guard all dropped the ball because there was no coordinated security effort to protect the Capitol during a crucial session.

I don’t think anything nefarious happened (nobody was ordered to “stand down”.)

Where is all the heavy armed national guard? Everyone knew this would happen. Meanwhile the security inside is taking selfies with the "patriots".

Anyway, my prayers from 2020 were answered!

I agree ... there may have been some foot-dragging but I think what happened was the threat was underestimated.

And the silence from the piece of garbage in the White House is deafening.

”Hey Buddy, wanna take a selfie with Capitol police? You can remove your mask, I don’t mind. Smile nice and wide for that Clearview AI...”

Fuck all you treasonous trumptards. Do you have any idea what this kind of theater says to our allies and adversaries?!

Exactly, America, the supposed great bastion of democracy looking like a 3rd rate chump. I hope the fucking assholes that enabled trump to do this to our country are fucking happy, the morons who glob onto the q-anon, proud boys, ect. with a "what the fuck, if it makes my political chances better, so be it".

Between trump election in 2016, Covid fuckup and now this my parents are increasingly less subtly insinuating that I should move back there. And how can I be so dumb to stay in this insane country when I could leave! And might be starting to wonder the same myself..

I remember a couple of months before the election when I said Trump would rile up his death cult to make an assassination attempt on Biden's inauguration in a January surprise and people laughed. Well here was an assassination attempt on our congress, unless somehow you think these rioting Trump brownshirts were going door to door breaking into congressional offices to have a friendly debate.

There is a non-zero chance Trump will be persuaded to blanket pardon all of his followers for any acts they’ve committed today.

Do you call the arsonist to put out the fire? Trump asked for this, why would he be the one to (try to) end it??
It's his job to do so, while I'd rather never see or hear Trump again, as a president he should be doing what Biden just did.
He should be calling from the tallest mountain with all the lungs for the 25th.

imo
I don't disagree with this.

I'm trying to type something but I'm kinda in shock right now.

We just crossed the Rubicon. No matter how this situation resolves itself, we're past a bridge we can never uncross...

Need to hear from the Repub leaders in Congress what they're going to do about this. I mean, they're directly responsible for what's going on over there. They stood by while their leader Trump was messaging his followers to perp these acts of violence and treason.

That should be a really awkward event to witness at any rate.
