This hurts every American, no matter where they live or if they've given up their passport. Democracy is fighting against Trump's hyperbole.

I note the news reporters are calling them rioters, whereas the #blm were called protesters.
It's obviously not a riot, and not a coup attempt.

They were rummaging through Nancy Pelosi's office as well as others. But that's not a riot? Police officers have also been injured.
With the BLM stuff, there were both -- there were peaceful protests and there were riots.

They would be stopped by numerous national guard and other forces, which btw. rejected to come when asked to do so hours/days before the event. Basically, the local police has been intentionally left alone.

Telling that white protesters/terrorists are dealt with far differently than those in BLM protests & similar
Country is and has been broken, Trump will get the headlines but it is a divided nation and that's not all on him - he has simply fanned the flames
The bigger issue I continue to see is that despite a buffoon like this, the system is unable to do anything to protect itself from him or that loony half of the country everyone seems to think will disappear with him

I heard an interview on BBC news, with someone from inside the Capitol (I think a senator) ... they said they’ve asked for the National Guard, but the request was refused | The following 2 users would like to thank Island Monkey for this useful post: | |

Mike Pence has finally done something right for once: https://twitter.com/Mike_Pence Peaceful protest is the right of every American but this attack on our Capitol will not be tolerated and those involved will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
He even changed the profile picture to show Biden and Harris.

An eyewitness account of the woman who was shot after breaking into the Capitol building: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ip1DsbDjbO0
The guy is clearly not too bright. He's claiming that they broke into the Capitol building to demand an investigation (as though those haven't already been done and gone to court, numerous times) AND is saying that if there isn't an investigation, people are going to get hurt and that something needs to be done about it. | The following 2 users would like to thank Pancakes for this useful post: | |

Looking at several live feeds shows that most people (even Trump supporters) disagree with storming the capital. Rumors are rife that it was actually antifa as people say they saw two large groups (dressed as Trump supporters) join the crowd prior. It was peaceful until then. No one knows for sure who is responsible
Looking at the crowd as these live feed cameras were walking by I did see a good mix of people of all races including quite a few young people. I also saw a lot of dreadlocks, which was surprising.
Could be antifa, could be proud boys, could be both.
Still have plenty of popcorn, might need to restock the butter.

Am I the only one who feels that the real victims here are the Capitol Hill cleaning staff? | The following 4 users would like to thank gaburko for this useful post: | |
