Yep. The changes made in leadership at the DoD were designed specifically for this case. Trump can stop them from deploying through his lackeys because DC lacks control since it’s not a state. Another point in favor of giving DC statehood and autonomy.
I just heard that guy! “I don’t know if it (the election) was fraudulent, but they need to look into it, and they haven’t done that.”
Where has he been living the past 2 months???
I wonder what Cruz is thinking right now. The optics of being the last insurgent senator to speak before everything went to shit are a bit awkward even by his standards.
What the fuck are they doing in the KS statehouse? Trump won KS.
Fucking summon John Browns ghost…
Fully permitted. There was a mass pardon by Carter in 77.
Maybe they need some martyrs. The strategy of tut tutting when they do stuff doesn’t seem to be working.
DC does not allow armed demonstrations. I believe the shots fired were probably by police/security. PBS confirmed the shooting victim was not law enforcement.
Basically, “this is fine”.
It’s like World War Z, only they hired all the extras at a Nascar event.
Right? All I can think to myself as I’m watching this unfold is that if these were leftist protesters, we’d see people getting killed right away. You wouldn’t have people storming the Senate chambers and taking selfies at Pence’s podium, breaking windows, trampling through the rotunda, no armed standoff at the entrance to the House chambers.
People would be shot dead on sight.
No questions asked.
I’m not the slightest bit surprised this is happening. This is what we’ve been building up to for the past several months. Trump, other Republicans, and right wing media have done nothing but encourage this. He had a rally just a few blocks away earlier today where he encouraged his supporters to take action.
Now he finally tweets about this and the best he can come up with is a mealy mouthed “respect the police” response.
Sorry, Trump. You can’t put the toothpaste back in the tube. This is all your fault.
Where is Lauren Boebert? Is she leading the charge or hiding from the folks who elected her?
Colorado needs her leadership more than ever /s
Christ, the first thing they taught us when I got my clearance was lock your damn computer when you walk away from it for ANYTHING.
Yep. Did you see that “Man on the Street” interview a minute ago with “Tom” from New Jersey? He fucking stormed the building with a group that broke through windows inside, a woman he was with got shot by security, and he was…politely escorted out of the building to roam free? WTAF?!?
Something the the actual Confederacy failed to achieve.
It was never truly defeated, it just went into remission.
Man, a busload of Iranians or North Koreans could have taken out the entire Capitol in an afternoon.
Wow.
They are watching.
Well, time to deploy the serious chemo.
