My thinking is, since they are on federal property, the feds will be the ones doing it, which will soon be run by a democrat AG. Not sure if that's how it really works though.

I'm specifically thinking about the utter gridlock that could occur if they can't reach an agreement on when to certify. I'm hoping that it's enumerated. If not....

Where is the US Military and why are they not clearing the Capitol.
I guess if you want to attack the US Government moving forward, just send a bunch of white folks waving flags and you can waltz right in.

So, what happens with the certification? Clearly the whole building will have to be sanitized.

This is absolutely awful and unacceptable but is also the fastest way for Trumpism to die. Trump tweeting out pleading for them to be peaceful and support the police shows he knows he made a massive mistake.

When I told one of my apolitical coworkers what is going on, he said "just another day on the farm; 3 ring circus" like this is just a normal day at the office.
So many people are so desensitized to not realize this is what those days we read about in history books actually look like. SI

The USA already had turned into looking like an East European country for the past 3 1/2 years, this just confirms it in a way. Except that the wrong crowd is trying to get rid of the wrong person.

What good would 25th Amendment do? He's out in 2 weeks and doing it would escalate the protest/violence. What practical effect would it have? Seriously. They only listen to one person. Pence just stabbed them in the back - they gonna listen to him tell them the election's over and go home? I don't get it.

You have to impeach and convict, since it bans him from ever holding federal office again.

Yes. Impeach, convict, charge him with crimes. Force Republicans to defend an attempted coup in impeachment hearings if they still choose to defend him.
