Pence needs to invoke the 25th now

[Roronoa D. Law]

So is this the GOP plan to win back the suburbs?

[CookieDamage]

This is what fascists do.

Get Trump the  up out of there immediately.

[Blair]

This must be absolutely terrifying for those in the buildings; including the staff who are just doing their job.

How on earth is the security so weak that they're able to not only breach the building but get into the actual chamber?

[John Dule]

Ya'll need to chill.  A small group of crazy people are running around the capitol but there's no need to start shooting people, JFC.  Its not even comparable to this June when we had whole neighborhoods going up in flames.  The people who break the law should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.  That does NOT mean opening fire on them.

In June I was saying that the business owners should be shooting the looters with chain guns. I'm not about to change tune now.

[Alben Barkley]

Governors of Maryland and Virginia need to send their National Guard in too. F—k jurisdiction. For that matter FBI, Secret Service, SWAT teams, every law enforcement agency in the vicinity needs to be down there. And this is maybe the most heavily law enforcement presence, militarized and secure city in the country, or at least supposedly it was. Was it all an illusion? Could Bin Laden and Al-Qaeda have just waltzed into the Capitol all this time if he wanted?

What the HELL is going on??? How did they even get close???

Where is the looting taking place?

[Damocles]

Where are the Red Guards or the ANTIFA when you need them? It’s clear that the government is infected with fascists and will do nothing to stop them.

[JA]

Trump may have lost the office of the Presidency and the powers it bestows, but he'll still have his fascistic mob. The only good thing about them, so far, is that Trump's completely incompetent and has no real long-term plans; he just makes sh*t up as he goes. Like I said in 2016, it's people like Cruz who worry me much more, especially people like Hawley and him who are deliberately stoking the flames and seeking to manipulate the MAGA crowd for their own ambitions. This is only the beginning, mark my words.

Every single Trump supporter:

Fuzzy Bear, Sanchez, even sensible folks like Buzz.

This is your fault.  You are to blame.

No. He's right. How did people think this was gonna end?

Stop

They dont support these rioters so blaming them for something they dont support is ridiculous

Fuzzy probably does though

[President Johnson]

If that tells us anything, then that they should double and triple check the security protocol for the upcoming inauguration.

A fascist coup d’état, that’s what.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

When does the Left start arming bands of goons? Feels like we need to catch up.

I've been saying this for years.

Hard liberals want to take away the constitutionally-protected right to bear arms. By contrast, the Left embraces the right to bear arms to defend themselves against the elites and the Blue Shield. We can't have it both ways and we need to choose a side.

Yes, because looting is truly the most egregious of crimes lmao.

If trespassing and armed intimidation aren't good enough for you, nothing is.

MSNBC just showed someone being brought out on a stretcher looking fairly severely injured with a lot of blood, but they said they don't know what happened.

This is worse. This is a fascist coup and it must be put down with overwhelming deadly force.

[Suburbia]

This is a trite observation at this point but if these people weren't white or were on the left there would be blood in the Capitol right now. No respect at all left for people who continue to vote Republican after this. Law and order is a bad joke at this point and I am convinced that anyone who parrots these talking points just hates black people.

[/b]

You think Pete King, Rudy Giuliani, Alexis Weik and Boomer Esiason hate black people?

Also, people will continue voting GOP until the Dems get serious on urban crime and the tax issue.

[The Free North]

I just bought the dip, don't worry America.

But yeah the protesters need to be shot, if that wasnt clear.

[JA]

What did you expect? This is what Trump & Co. want. They thrive in this chaos. They aren't going to deploy troops against their own.

[Angel of Death]

At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.

Good thing they are too dumb to mess with anything

[Ferguson97]

The Biden Administration should prosecute these terrorists to the fullest extent of the law.
