It’s a cheeky joke from a tv show that probably gets lost in print about how the news isn’t good, but it is a good watch.

I really hope these “protestors” don’t back down.

This is your America! Take it back! Tucker and Hannity and their guests have been calling for this for years.

So when will they resume certification? I don’t even see it happening tomorrow. They will have to completely sweep the Capitol even after they get these fuckers out.

First order of business when they do resume should be to remove Trump from office, even before finishing the certification.

Woman in “critical” condition is the news report.

821

There is still no real show of force there, it has been like two hours.

Get the fucking military in there, now.

822

Take a swing Mitt.

Mega grunch. Where is the best stream / news source currently?

829

Cops slowly slowly mushing the MAGAts out of the foyer/building, at least it looks like it on the DC stream.

…also, hard to believe the countries we invade to try to bring “democracy” don’t seem to be interested.

Protestors have occupied the Kansas statehouse: https://twitter.com/KellyKSNT/status/1346906283421609985

Can’t they hold house and senate sessions somewhere other than the Capitol?

It seems like they have to have a contingency plan (not for this specifically)

833

They don’t need the capitol. They just need a quorum in a secure location.

They need to arrest every single one of these fuckers that went inside the building. Likely more but that’s the minimum.

Ok, I was wrong a few weeks ago. It’s a full-fledged coup.

836

Yes I’d be shocked if the security team who thought a few dozen bicycle cops and concert barricades were sufficient didn’t have a plan for this.

So storm the capitol, and then just walk out the front door like you were just visiting? No ramifications to breaking into the building? Nice country we have here.
