All purpose news and politics thread part VI: This Is Not The Time For Posing

[Ragged Maw]

Sorry, this attempt at establishing some scale that renders what's happening anything less than a criminal, seditious assault on the lawful government of the United States, fostered by its own fucking chief executive, is flat out bullshit.

I didn’t say it was a lawful protest in either case. Though I best addend that to my earlier post.

Over 2 dozen pipe bombs have been found.

[BeastieRunner]

Protestors are inside the Chamber now.

We won't survive 2 more weeks of Trump, they need to impeach and arrest him.

Rep. Adam Kinzinger, a Republican from Illinois, tweeted calling it a "coup attempt."

Rep. Dan Newhouse, a Republican from Washington, is calling for Articles of Impeachment on the 11 Senators and Trump.

Huh...neat.

Let's make it happen, folks, reach across the aisle and all that.

Okay. The Feds and the Guard can treat them as harshly as they want, as far as I’m concerned.

Trump tweeting throwing Pence under the bus during this?! My God.

So this old post of mine has aged well:

If it happens it will be a major surprise. A huge upset for the GOP, and considered a miracle on the part of the Dems.

Let's put it that way.

Bit of a bummer that this coup attempt by Trumpistas is dampening what should be a day of glory for the Dems.

Let’s call a spade a spade:

THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA INCITED THIS RIOT!

It’s heinous, it’s indefensible, it’s fucking criminal! Meanwhile, the National Guard needs to be called in ASAP to clear out that goddamn rabble, and clear it out roughly!

Harris was evacuated first and is in a "secure location."

Rep. Adam Kinzinger, a Republican from Illinois, is going off on Trump.

He is promising he will be in jail before the 20th.

We shall see.

[KNIGHT OF THE LAKE]

Donnie Junior is condemning the actions of the protestors.

2021 is proving to be odd already ...

It should also be noted that due to the stop in the EC counting, Trump has 12 votes to Bidens 0.

You already have people saying since they stopped counting, Trump is POTUS.

It looks like it is going to be a bad day ...

Everyone involved with Trump has to condemn this or it will be very difficult to not call this a coup on their behalf after this started with Trump compelling his VP to reject the election and now his supporters have taken the capital

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.

To everyone who was glad to see 2020 go because things would be so much better? I give you 2021.

[BeastieRunner]

DoD will not clear National Guard to mobilze as per Mayor's request.

Justin Amash calls for Donald Trump’s impeachment, the Tea Party Republican.
