    I wonder how OAN reports this. Strangely enough I don't have this station in my cable lineup though I'm sure I used to.

    I saw 2 stories that crystallized something in my head... one was a couple of reports about the rebels running around the building yelling 'where are they? where the *** are they?'. I thought they were hunting congresscritters until I read the second one. Apparently when the building was evacuated, the staff grabbed the ballot boxes on their way out to keep them safe.

    They were gonna burn or swap that shit. I have no doubt.

    Stop with the conspiracies, that's @The Jitty Slitter's territory. ;):p

    There is enough reporting out there that says the DC mayor told the DC police to be non-confrontational, and also told the DOD/Sec DeF that no request for National Guard would come.

    Now, this non-confrontational position still does not excuse the letting the insurrectionists into the Capitol.

    From the outset they should've blasted some in the face with rubber bullets & tear gas and see how the crowd took that. I'm just a citizen & I would've gone Rambo on them.

    I still can't get past Elizabeth from Knoxville's stunning naivete. She traveled across multiple states to participate in a revolution at the national capital, only to turn around and run away after getting maced - not shot, not beaten, just maced. What does she think happens to revolutionaries?

    I blame that ********ing Pepsi commercial from a few years ago, where the protesters were having a march and then the cops stopped them and then they gave a Pepsi to a cop and it was like a big street party. Revolutions are dirty, hard work, and people get hurt and killed. Elizabeth from Knoxville should have known that before she participated.

    Edit to add: I hope that Elizabeth from Knoxville gets identified, and fired from her job, and faces federal charges for attempting a revolution against the United States government. People need to start facing consequences for their actions.

    Hmm

    1346952493654269957 is not a valid tweet id

    Now imagine a trained foreign force showing up randomly with several helicopters. WTF would the Capitol Police do to protect congresspeople?

    Once Grimes is intalled (Hail Grimes!) I hope that everyone who's faces I saw protesting by breaking windows and doors in the Capitol building get one last look at it from the Gallows setup in front of it next week.

    There HAVE to be consequences -- long jail sentences, huge fines, destitution and gnashing of teeth for Trump and everyone who acted to violently overthrow the US government.

    The internet has a ton of detective work to do.
    Seriously. This is, in its own way, one of the most racist moments in US history.

    And that's pretty elite company.
