Virginia is sending into DC their National Guard at the request of the DC Mayor.



I appreciate the historical irony of the Virginia National Guard saving Washington, DC from white supremacists.

I think this video warrants me saying this for the third time: Impeach & Remove Donald Trump

Twitter also needs to ban him immediately, enough with this "disputed claim" flagging chickensh**t.

The foreign minister of Germany, Heiko Maas:




"The enemies of democracy will be happy about the inconceivable pictures from Washington, D.C. Seditious words become violent actions - on the steps of the Reichstag and now in the Capitol. The disdain for democratic institutions has devastating consequences."




"Trump and his supporters should finally accept the decision of the American voters and stop trampling democracy under their feet."

New evidence by OANN: one of the people in the Senate photo was wearing a mask. Trump supporters don't wear masks. Therefore, that person was actually an ANTIFA infiltrator.

They're now talking about Antifa/BLM protests causing more deaths.

For security reasons, OANN needs to be shut down ASAP.

Along with his video and the most recent "congratulatory message" to the rioters, Twitter also removed the tweet where Trump had accused Pence of lacking to courage to overturn the election results from earlier today.

Is Fuzzy still gonna get pissy over being called a fascist despite supporting fascists and voting for them?

He'll probably just run with OANN's party line that the rioters were actually disguised Antifa/BLM plants or some such nonsense.

From the NBC News liveblog:


Quote
Rand Paul: No more objections expected to Electoral College count

No more objections are expected as lawmakers expect to continue the certification process for the Electoral College votes Wednesday, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., told reporters.

Both chambers of Congress were in the midst of debate on a GOP objection to the Arizona results when supporters of President Donald Trump stormed the Capitol, forcing members of the House and Senate to flee for safety.

Legislators will vote to close debate after they resume, but Paul said he does not anticipate anymore objections to the process. Republican Sens. Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley, along with other Republican lawmakers, previously threatened to object to election results in some states citing baseless claims of fraud.

I thought a Twitter ban is a Twitter ban? I thought accessing a site through a sock puppet was against TOS.

OK, technically not a "sock puppet" .. but if all the putschist needed to do to access his accounts is a "spokesperson" doing his typing for him, then it amounts to the same thing.

Still, there's a second person now who could refuse to send the tweet... you know, like the two-man rule in a ballistic missile submarine.

Another candidate for expulsion/impeachment:


Quote
A West Virginia state lawmaker recorded video of himself and fellow supporters of President Donald Trump storming the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday, triggering calls for his resignation. In the video by Republican Delegate Derrick Evans, later deleted from his social media page, he is shown wearing a helmet and clamoring at the door to breach the building after Congress met for an expected vote to affirm Democrat Joe Biden's election victory.

"We're in! Keep it moving, baby!" he said in a packed doorway amid Trump followers holding flags and complaining of being pepper sprayed. Once inside, Evans could be seen on video milling around the Capitol Rotunda, where historical paintings depict the republic's founding, and yelled "no vandalizing."

Adam Kinzinger (and Romney) made the evening news in Germany. TV schedules plastered with special reports like "USA: Democracy in danger?" I'm watching right now.
