“Shots fired as president tells mob to ‘take back the country’” is a hell of a sub-head.
It seems a little bit like Bruce Ismay smuggling himself onboard a lifeboat at the last minute before the Titanic goes down…
I assume it wasn’t about finding a stranger in the alps?
Yeah. Rats from a sinking ship. Last minute attempt to launder their reputation.
Former President Bill Clinton denounced the violence at the US Capitol, saying in a statement “Today we faced an unprecedented assault on our Capitol, our Constitution, and our country.”
“The assault was fueled by more than four years of poison politics spreading deliberate misinformation, sowing distrust in our system, and pitting Americans against one another. The match was lit by Donald Trump and his most ardent enablers, including many in Congress, to overturn the results of an election he lost,” Clinton said.

We are going to see a lot of Republican false tears and claims that they were only following orders over the next few weeks, or that they were trying to minimise the damage that Trump did.
Just because the face eating leopards just tried to eat their faces doesn’t change the fact that they were the ones who released them in the first place.
It’s still spreading.

Well, more like a chimp eating a person’s face. A person who treated said chimp like it’s their own child.
The guy in a kilt is an optimist. If I were picking an outfit to wear on a day I might be wrestling police on live television… a kilt wouldn’t be my first choice.
CNN has begun calling these individuals anarchists and the events an insurrection
Zentrumists need to remember that words have meanings
Be fair - they’ve only had a week of repeated assertions that this would happen - right down to exactly when it would happen - to prepare.

I am not on twitter, so I hope that anybody who is will point out that this is VERY LIKELY the best photo taken during the Trashcan Insurrection of 2021.
They should make sure to tell the Arizona GOP, who asked their followers if they were “willing to die” to see Trump re-elected.
Man Ted Cruz’ complaints about overreactions to his coup support really aged super well.
