And remove his supporters from Congress. All 13 Senators, especially Hawley and Cruz, need to resign today. All senators and representatives who supported Trump that the election was stolen should go to prison

Biden's response was exactly what we needed. Calm.

Inciting more violence is not a good idea.

It's not enough.  Let me sum up the last 4 years for you:

Trump cultists act outrageous, violent, break rules, norms, laws.  

Democrats respond: "we need calm, we need to come together as a country."  

Trump cult: continues to break rules, laws, norms, be violent.

If there's anything I want to see eradicated after the last 4 years, it's the dance Democrats love to do of "Writing a letter" or "urging" Republicans to walk back certain actions/statements.

Reminder that Hillary was 100% correct when she called Trump's supporters deplorable

Hillary was right all along. She warned us 4 years ago how this would go if that man ever got into power.

I doubt Trump is removed from office before January 20th. He'll somehow have enough support to keep him there.

"Trump was just joking and some people took him too seriously! Are we impeaching people for jokes now?"
-Some congressman next week, probably

If you live in a reliably blue state, now would be the time to make yourself available to your state’s Army National Guard. F#%k these fascist punks up when they try to start sh**t in your state. If you don’t fancy that option, join a pro-democracy militia. Even if it’s something as simple as cooking food or operating radios, now’s the time to get involved before the fascists attempt to take over the country.

I am literally crying because of this, how far it's come. I came from a country with no democratic standards. Others have fought and died for democracy and the rule of law and these terrorists are attempting are tearing it to shreds.

I would hug you if I could. I'm so sorry that you have to go through this trauma again

We don't have a country anymore.  The BLM riots all summer set the stage for this.  There's no going back now.

Blaming BLM for this even in the slightest teensiest way is beyond hot take of the year, to just plane brain-dead whataboutism. Kindly drink a glass of STFU juice and stop posting till you greatly develop your critical thinking skills.

Watched Trump's statement and it was completely worthless. If he's not going to admit he lost and/or leave office this isn't going to end peacefully. These people think this is a real liberty tree situation and not just a made up controversy.

Normally I would say the president would absolutely resign in this situation, but there was "no way" Trump wouldn't be impeached for all the other things he's done. The Republicans refuse to hold him accountable for anything and he refuses to hold himself accountable.

I am so sorry that you have to go through this, I had a panic attack while watching the news at like 2:30 so I can only imagine how you are feeling. I know we don't know each other, but if you ever need something please let me know and I'll try to be there for you

Plus no building is no important than the Capitol. That's just sacred. You don't touch that.

It's great when the neolibs' masks slip just enough that you can plainly see that their true fidelity is to mere physical presentations of state power (i.e., literal buildings) and other objects, lol.  Power resides in people, not buildings.  If the U.S. Capitol ever becomes a symbol of a system of civil government that does not serve the best interests of the people, then it will deserve to be burned to the ground.

Like I said, if Joe Biden had any balls (like I wish he did), he would be declaring provisional government and martial law tonight.  Would he, if successful, destory the system of government that keeps Republicans artifically in power?  Probably yes, but that's the price that has to be paid to reconstitute our belief in a government that works for "the majority" (defined however the mob wishes.)  This isn't a Republican or Democrat thing, it's a matter of renewing our right to self-determination and refreshing the civil state (which really hasn't been seriously updated since the New Deal/WWII.)    

Scott, once again, captures my thoughts on today's happenings almost perfectly:

Quote from: Senator Scott link=topic=422360.msg7874637
The system is broken and it needs to be rebuilt from the ground-up. I don't care who sparks it, but this is actually a moment for the disenfranchised and the cynics on both the left and right to retake the country for ourselves.

There always has to be room for redemption, otherwise there is no incentive to change. They can redeem themselves by vocally opposing the terrorist attempts and supporting the transition of power. to as many people as they can.
