WATCH LIVE: Trump rioters break through barrier and are attempting to break into the Capitol

They are back to work, Pence just started. I am really surprised they let them all back into the chambers so quickly.

McConnel sounding reasonable. I wonder what he’s up to.

Wow, again, I reiterate, the protestors are going to be pissed. Mitch just called it a “failed insurrection” and called them “unhinged”. I don’t think they really thought they’d end up on the wrong side of their idols like this.

Maybe he realizes the Frankenstein monster which he helped create is out of control, pillaging the village.

I really don’t care right this moment. The armed mob is out, but are still a existential threat to our lawmakers, who are trying to certify the election. How about we get on this pointless merry-go-round when it’s not actively happening.

Go look at the buzzfeed article about how this was organized upthread. Yes, they have been planning this, out in the open, and they were not taken seriously. These groups have been organized for years and we have not taken them seriously. It’s well beyond time that we do so.

Yeah. Let’s not forget that.

As the kids say… er… they…

But sure… none of this is organized, totes spontaneous. Totes. :roll_eyes:

Excuse me, said Emma…

Cowering in a gas mask on the floor might change your mind about a few things.

One hundred eighty-four words, and he couldn’t manage to name a single person whose fault this is. Completely insulated from any conceivable blowback in his personal or political life at this point, and he still can’t say anything useful. Fucking coward.

Even Jeb! managed to name Trump by title.

I’d love it if the one-two punch of losing his majority position and having to run away from an angry mob of his own party members in the span of 4 hours scared him straight, but I seriously doubt it. If he’s acting at all conciliatory right now, it’s because he knows Democrats will be back to ferrying scorpions across the river on their backs by sun-up.

They just all got a taste of what it means to be a elementary school student these days in an active shooter drill.

Holy fucksocks; Schumer actually just used the words DOMESTIC TERRORISTS.

He also keeps repeatedly calling them ‘thugs’ which amuses me, since that term is usually used by bigots as a dog whistle for Black men… and it seems that most of the insurrectionists were uniformly lacking in melanin.

What I’m hearing on CTV Newsnet doesn’t sound good for Trump. They just might dump him before the 20th.

That’s what I’m hearing, too. They might 25th his ass tomorrow after taking care of the Electoral readout tonight. We can only hope that today was Trump’s final undoing. His crazed supporters won’t change, but it’s very possible they will be marginalized after this. And with them,Trump himself. He may very well have destroyed his future with the Republican party today.
