Not gonna lie, I was wondering who would be the first to cancel a game today.

WHy can't Dems say resign or face impeachment?

George Washington game off due to curfew after Capitol stormed

George Washington folding in the face of an attack on America seems like an apt metaphor.

Well at least it's not as bad as taking a knee, right?

On the bright side, even Fox News was appalled and a number of GOP Congresspeople were calling it a coup. Maybe this may help getting Trumpism out - as now those who tried to fan the flames now have been personally threatened.

The first sign for Cruz and his idiot buddies that this was a terrible idea politically should have been Tom Cotton not supporting it.

Or breaking the windows of a Best Buy

Do these people not realize the National Guard is on the way?

Biden speaking

Of course Biden is the first one to speak because Trump has no leadership capabilities.

Trump is a coward and a traitor, so not surprised that bunker boy hasn't shown his face.

Biden has called out Trump

I think it is insurrection, but I also worry a bit that the more people say it the more likely it is that Trump pulls the last lever he has, the Insurrection Act.

ABCNews reporting that thus far Trump has refused to say anything and that he sees this as a potential opportunity - waiting to see how it plays out.

It's amazing listening to Biden and how he can talk and not make it all about himself or sound like some blathering idiot that can't stay on topic.

Amid all this, Rep Gohmert has asked the Supreme Court to intervene in the congressional vote counting and issue an emergency order to block Pence from following the Electoral Count Act.

This is something like a cartoon villain would do:

All part of the grand plan to make America great again! So proud!

Why? How many times have folks said "This. THIS is just to far". And no one cares.

Safe to say resigning 1/19 and being pardoned by Pence is off the table.

This is Trump. He's always asking others to assume all the risk so that he can reap all the rewards.

I mean that's the show isn't it. This whole thing was planned...
Nice how they were pretty much let into the building...

Normally I would agree, but the imagery here is staggering. Plus I have some anecdotal evidence. My FIL was a Trump supporter and he texted me how horrible this is and we have been headed this direction for a while.

Biden will be president.

what I find interesting is will Hawley, et al. still object because MAN, that is a BAD look.

Yeah, but they'll say it started because they let a Mooslim into the white house.

DING, DING, MF’ING DING!!!

AP just called the Ossoff win.

God, this fucking guy.

Well, that recorded message was useless.

What a douche

SI

This is what they wanted though...

Apparently an IED was found outside the capitol.

Get this coward out of our house, and get this trash off of our lawn.

Yep. Just his greatest hits on tape. I clicked off of it after 15 seconds.

of course they will. I mean on the first day Obama addressed the senate, that fat piece of shit yelled "you lie" in the middle of the room

Do the Senate and House have to meet at the Capital to conduct business?

Picturing a headline next week of "Susan Collins promises Republicans she'll vote and protest with them then caucuses with Democrats"

They officially called it for Ossoff

Congress will reconvene shortly to continue to certify the votes at Capitol.

— Scott Dworkin (@funder) January 6, 2021

The rioters probably think the Guard will be on their side.

It is so gross to see these people just casually wander around with no law enforcement in sight.

It's going to be very interesting to see if the tone and rhetoric are any different. I'm assuming this going to go much quicker and more in line with previous certifications now.

One would think...

I believe the Republican members of Congress who have incited this domestic terror attack through their attempts to overturn the election must face consequences. They have broken their sacred Oath of Office.

I will be introducing a resolution calling for their expulsion. pic.twitter.com/JMTlQ4IfnR

SI

Welp, Cruz and Hawley say they are going to continue.

Of course they are...

I hope Corey Booker hit Cruz with a chair.

I really hope some intern or aide has pics of Cruz, Hawley, etc, hiding under the table.

SI

It looks to me like things are thinning out now.

I think the National Guard has started taking control of the situation ahead of nightfall

SI

I am pretty sure I read earlier they actually have 5 days from the 6th to hear objections and finish certification.

Trump replaced all these Cabinet members so they wouldn't invoke the 25th Amendment when this happened

This was as close as a direct attack from one branch to another as we're ever likely to see... unless they fail to act. Censure and sanction isn't enough

Trump is politically untouchable. Yeah, we would like to think otherwise but for all practical purposes he won't be politically held accountable for (or hurt much by) this.

The GOP on the other hand, Dems need to do something here.

I don't know who was in charge of Capitol Police and risk/threat management but that guy(s) needs to be fired.

Yeah. Though I suspect a lot of the capitol police were ok with what went down

SI

I saw a pic of Pelosi and McConnell necking under the tables

Not a single person resigned today.

I don't care about anonymous comments of concern.

Glad all these idiots recorded themselves on video

First time the U.S. Capital was breached since 1814.

Why y’all keep asking where the police at? Y’all ask where Miley’s at when Hannah’s on stage?

— Beytwicé (@lotoysrus) January 6, 2021

It sounds like this might qualify, but depends on your definition:
1954 United States Capitol shooting - Wikipedia

SI

Not sure. Just saw a historian mention it.

These guys could be facing a minimum of 10 years of prison ASR’s on a law Trump passed over the summer correct?

I think there was a shooting in 1998 too.

That will never happen. Only 13 arrests. We get more arrests in Chicago during pubcrawls.

Things could get ugly tonight now that the police have given everyone a free pass.

I’m sorry... did the police open the gates for these terrorists!? pic.twitter.com/m2ZLnlf4MS

— Dana Goldberg (@DGComedy) January 6, 2021

The fuck?

NBC just said the woman who was shot has died

:(

I'm sure that now the curfew is in effect, we'll see the forced kettling of the protesters tonight before they arrest them /s

SI

They're trying to locate that Bible again. You know the one with all his favorite verses.

Shrug emoji

Are we still not allowed to actively call for murder on the board?

These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long. Go home with love & in peace. Remember this day forever!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 6, 2021

JoninMiddleGa does it constantly. Go for it

What's the Conservative Trope..."If you aren't doing anything illegal you shouldn't get shot?"

Unfortunately today dispels any notion that once Biden is inaugurated, things will settle down.

I fear for the inauguration day itself, and the immediate future within the US; stay safe FOFCers

This is Markwayne Mullin. He said on NBC just now that he confronted them when they came in and told them to go home. He also loves these people.

He's a shit stain.

I'm going to go back to the Slobodan Milosevic comparisons.

Tommy Tuberville gets sworn in and the Capitol’s defense immediately falls apart.

— Bunkie Perkins (@BunkiePerkins) January 6, 2021

Dems better bring the heat when this session resumes.

Yup! If they let any of this shit slide, 2022 will be a very very bad year for them.

Last I read, we don't know who she was (e.g. staffer, protestor) or how it happened.

I'll reserve judgement for now ... but may be one of those where I'm eh (like earlier discussion on my ambivalence on the death of a covid-denier)

The one I’ve heard a lot of lately..... “Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!”

Can't wait for Rubio's Bible quote tomorrow.

dola

Rioters in Washington state have broken through the gate of the Governor's mansion.

Let he who is without win cast the first stone?

Twitter took it down. They need to remove him. today is proof he is using their platform to radicalize people.

Just a reminder,

https://www.washingtonpost.com/local...bbd_story.html

It is currently 46 minutes AFTER the current curfew.

NBC now has Markwayne Mullin talking with Lester Holt continuing to say the same lies.

Stolen

SI

Congress will reconvene at 8pm.

I really would like to see this scene

"The chair yields to the Representative from the great state of New Jersey"
"Thank you, chair, members. I'd like to ask the assembled 'Hey, douchebags, what did you think was going to happen?'"

SI

I spoke with Jake Angeli, the QAnon guy who got inside the Senate chamber. He said police eventually gave up trying to stop him and other Trump supporters, and let them in. After a while, he said police politely asked him to leave and let him go without arrest

— Adrian Morrow (@AdrianMorrow) January 6, 2021

You think maybe eventually the FBI might give him a ring?

I heard on NBC that there were just too many to arrest so they will be reviewing social media, capitol building cameras, etc... to identify and charge the rioters.

Something I didn't think of, they should probably operate on the assumption that every computer in the Capitol is compromised.

There were literally thousands more being arrested at protests over the summer.

We let people go because there's too many to arrest sounds like a great way to police.
