I'm so sorry jon. believe me, this is one of the times where I'm not saying 'don't panic'. i'm with you.

Law enforcement is clearly in on this. That's the only answer.

What sucks worst is that there are at least a million Americans out there cheering on these yahoos and hoping they somehow overturn the election. they won't they are a disorganized rabble. but the fact they were symbolically successful will, to coin a phrase, embolden the fuckers even more.

yeah i'm feeling pretty shaky myself right now. with police so demonstronbly on their side.. not much further on this trajectory to 'everything up in the air' and 'power vacuum'

So are the GOP Senators & House members going to continue with the Electoral charade?

What I can't get over is...how few people there are! Several hundred? A thousand. I mean it's crazy capitol police was not better prepared for this.

wondering if Senators and Reps will stop objecting if they realize it'll speed up the count and get them out of harm's way faster.

Where the fuck is law enforcement?

They apparently flew Pence out of DC so I don't think much else will be happening soon.

the cries for trump to defuse this are like reasoning with a cat to release a mouse
this is immensely fucked up and there absolutely have to be consequences but this is not a show of actual political force or meaningful action in any way; it's just a completely broken system. this is, at most, like two thousand assholes! it's the nation's dumbest rumspringa! the complicity of the local cops is so obvious and blatant.

Apparently a co worker just saw military equipment roaring down I-66 in Arlington to DC. Hope, uh, that they are on our side.

Chris Hayes seems easily surprised.

not that it matters, but i wouldn't be be surprised if the house impeached him again

just 25th him out al-fucking-ready, jesus Pence your own life is being threatened now

Ok. I said let’s do an audit. Let’s not get carried away here. I don’t want anyone hurt. We are protesting the violation of our laws. We are builders not destroyers. BLM burns and loots. We build. If anyone on the ground reads this and is beyond the line come back. pic.twitter.com/cSu6CLKbby

"let's not get carried away here"

xxpost are you afraid of being fired in the afterlife?

at least some of them are. how else do guards get caught off guard for a globally-anticipated situation?

reported that national guard *is* responding.

Look I’m sorry but you gotta laugh at this shit LMAOOOOOOOOO https://t.co/dXdkj04qHZ

Two sources familiar tell me that @SpeakerPelosi & @MayorBowser have asked for the national guard to come to Capitol Hill to clear rioters. One of those sources says DOD has not yet approved change-of-mission for the DC guard.

— Garrett Haake (@GarrettHaake) January 6, 2021

"not yet approved" v diff than "denied"

remembering the halcyon days of 2020, when the worst thing that could happen on a wednesday afternoon was catching the ultracontagious airborne deathvirus that no one was trying to stop

the S&P500 is up if it's any consolation

another argument for statehood by end of the year

the report I just heard, live, was in the name of clarification, stating that there has been a lot of confusion about national guard but that they have been called in and has been approved, they are just getting organized.

Everyone from Robert E. Lee to the pilot of Flight 93 tried, but these mouth-breathers are the ones who finally make it in.

Kansas statehouse breached too? What the fuck.

national guard are currently engaged in pre-operation stretches to avoid any painful muscle cramps

These protestors need to be shot like they looted a Dollar Store.

IMO disband the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Football Team in retaliation

I'm remembering the halcyon days of early January 6, 2021 when things felt pretty good for a couple of hours.

white skin lets you do ANYTHING

fuck impeachment, arrest this moron for inciting a riot

I don’t even know why I’m still trying to work today. Exhausted, stressed, empty.

there was going to be trouble in DC today, regardless, but i do think the democratic double-victory may be fanning the rage flames

xpost already told my bosses's boss I had to give up

Anyway yes, I kinda don't care if it makes me a bad person rn, I want everyone involved in this shit to be shot to death.

I want them all to die in jail after decades of misery

Self defence against fascism is a legitimate use of state force.

Reporter on ABC outright calling this an attempted coup and blaming Trump specifically, calling this a historic humiliation.
