DC Unrest Megathread

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Neo-Nazi militias inside the Senate chamber. My lifelong conservative Republican grandfather is rolling in his grave.

[Holy Unifying Centrist]

These people aren't going anywhere after the 20th. And this is not Trump's creation, it is the GOP's creation dating all the way back to Lincoln.

Impeach & remove Trump.

House chaplain apparently stood behind the podium at the head of the House Chamber and offered an out-loud prayer. 

This is absolutely insane.

[Thank you for being a friend...]

White Supremacy will always eat itself alive.

[Tender Branson]

Armed protesters have also taken over the Capitol buildings in GA and KS.

[John Dule]

Can the Congress decide to meet somewhere else to conclude the count?

Can they even get out of the Capitol Building?

Yeah, I believe there are tunnels and walkways that lead out of the Capitol for cases like these.  

PBS had video of them being rushed through the tunnels.

this is not a joke, trump needs to be impeached and removed from office immediately. if pence and the cabinet had any damn sense, they would start 25th amendment proceedings rn. this is some third world dictatorship sh!t

[Starry Eyed Jagaloon]

Welp, so much for the party of law and order.

Goddamned traitors. Too bad we liberals are supposed to be against the death penalty.

You could always just be pro-gun.

Yes. Because escalating even further would totally fix America's problems.

[President Johnson]

Trump should be impeached for this

This and the phone call. After he's out, criminal charges should be brought up.

[NYSforKennedy2024]

Reports of an officer being shot and in distress, Georgia and Kansas capitols have been stormed.

[Holy Unifying Centrist]

What did Laura Kelly do???

[Pheurton Skeurto]

I would like to extend my most sincere "eat shit and die" to every single person who voted for Donald Trump

[afleitch]

Spare a thought for the staff and interns during all this.

[OSR stands with Israel]

Trump should be impeached for this

This and the phone call. After he's out, criminal charges should be brought up.

After this he deserves to be charged with crimes

[Diabolical Materialism]

Welp, so much for the party of law and order.

Goddamned traitors. Too bad we liberals are supposed to be against the death penalty.

You could always just be pro-gun.

Yes. Because escalating even further would totally fix America's problems.

And the alternative is just letting the side that wants to kill me and the people I care about have all the guns? Good one!

Yes, because the current optics are just great. Unbelievable.

[Alben Barkley]

How the f—k is it that even during the Civil War, with DC surrounded by one state in rebellion and another slave state with a large population sympathetic to the rebellion, nothing like this ever happened? They kept DC more secure during the CIVIL WAR than they can now. Unbelievable.

[Tender Branson]

Can the Congress decide to meet somewhere else to conclude the count?

They can fly to Austria and complete the count here if they want.

[BigSerg]
