DC Unrest Megathread

[Beefalow and the Consumer]

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

"I don't support these lions tearing Christians to shreds. All I did was open the gate to the Coliseum."

[Crumpets]

Laura Ingraham is mad.

Mad in which direction?

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

This is such an embarrassing day for this country. I am not sure how many more times I will be saying this until Trump is finally removed from office.

[Darthpi – Anti-Florida Activist]

This is what happens when you call the neo-Nazis in Charlottesville "Very fine people"

This is what happens when you tell the Proud Boys to "Stand by"

Those of us who understood the threats at the time were slandered as deranged partisans.

I want my f***ing apology.

[The Free North]

Anyone calling themselves a Republican after this will forever be associated with it.

Leaving your party is the only way to make it change, because right now it’s a party of terrorists and traitors.  If you don’t support that, leave it!

Oh stop it. Trump voters didnt turn out last night in GA which is why the Republicans lost. Most Reps dont endorse this at all and a lot have hated Trump from the start. Don't conflate the two, its lazy and incites more hatred.

[Crumpets]

Trump is "back at the White House monitoring the situation" and has "no plans to speak," per MSNBC.

[Sestak]

I'm hearing two rumors right now. One is that a person has been shot in the Capitol building. The other is that even the Tea Party representatives are saying Trump should be impeached for inciting this.

The first has been bouncing around twitter and a number of the networks as well. McCarthy has confirmed that shots have been fired and people have been hurt.

Laura Ingraham is mad.

Mad in which direction?

At the rioters.

Source on the 2nd?

MSNBC reporting that there are "joint operations" to retake the rotunda area and the House side of the building underway.

[OSR stands with Israel]

Trump should be impeached for this

[JerryArkansas]

Maryland and Virginia need to invade the capitol.  They need to restore law and order

If you don't like Trump, then you better have voted for Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden. Period. There is no third option.

[Former President tack50]

This looks like a mix of Spain's 23F and Portugal's November 1975 Parliament siege.

Nonetheless, Trump needs to be criminally accused. This is the ultimate desperate act of Trumpists. ENOUGH!!

If shots have been fired inside the US Capitol building, look forward to those gunshot marks becoming a tourist attraciton, much like our 23F marks are one of the highlights of any Congress visit

But yeah this is a literal coup and Trump needs to get out fast.

[Helsinkian]

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

MSNBC reporting that there are "joint operations" to retake the rotunda area and the House side of the building underway.

Can we take a second to realize how insane the words "retake the rotunda" are?

[Suburbia]

The whole message is get out of the far right's way

We saw the far left do their thing in the summer, this is the right's time.

This only helps the center

What the hell are you talking about

Centrists get things done, the left and right bite each other up.

Douglas Macarthur needs to brought in.

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

Can they even get out of the Capitol Building?
