    As a side note, this story about the Democrats doing the same thing in 2000, 2004, and 2016 is now circulating. In 2000 and 2016 "the Democrats" means one or two Congressional members. In 2004 there were more Dems in on the action, protesting the Ohio results, and in fairness I don't see that they had any more evidence on their side than Trump now does. So yes the Dems probably should look in the mirror a bit. But their involvement was nothing like this time around, not in numbers nor in vociferousness. And critically, John Kerry wasn't touching the issue.

    If I had the desire, I'd just go back and quote my comment about Rage Against the Machine having a lyric that covers this.

    I cannot say I disagree. I lived almost half my life in other countries. I’ve never been more ashamed than I am today.

    My comment on FB:

    Let's also be clear, this is an issue with the police. These are White people, and they couldn't possibly want to get into the Capital and stop/overturn the election. If this had been Black protestors, you all know they would not have reached the steps, let alone reached the chambers. And there would probably be a body count.

    I'm not saying the police should use violence, but this is another example of the bias that the police have towards Blacks (POC) and Whites, and how they are treated different. And the result is that an attempt at a coup d'état was allowed to occur.

    That video will be coming out next year, when she attempts to remain relevant.

    I was just coming here to say this. I wish to hell I would stop hearing people say "This is not who we are." There's way way way too much data now to support any conclusion other than that this is very much who we are.

    Duckworth speaking on CBS just indicated that one of her staffers grabbed the electoral college ballots as they were being rushed out of the chambers. Not sure if it was her staffer, but the ballots are there to proceed. Well done.

    I've been watching CNN. The announcers keep saying protesters, then correcting themselves. The words they use are coup attempt, anarchists, insurrection, trespassers, occasionally traitors. I don't think I have heard terrorists being used, though.

    You're not wrong, but it's probably the right thing for Biden to say.

    He got more votes AFTER getting impeached and letting COVID ravage unchecked than he did in 2016.

    That should never be forgotten.

    Mullin from OK was just just ABC news. Disgusting. He doesn't get it.

    He tried to claim these aren't really Trump supporters.

    Don't expect this session of congress to resume today. But it is imperative they reconvene tomorrow (provided it is safe to do so obviously).
    This has to be completed, as there can no doubt about this that Cheeto has lost and soon will no longer be the president. Fool had the balls in his speech earlier today to speak as if he'll stay in office: talk about being completely divorced from reality.
    Proceedings will not be stopped over a hissy fit.

    The right thing for them to do is to certify the damn ballots enough with this extra bullshit

    Meanwhile, at the other end of the Mall, Trump supporters have constructed a scaffold/gallows and a noose.

    Does the VP have the authority to do this while there is still a president?
