Too lazy to click. let me guess, conservatives protesting and breaking the law?

it's going to get worse. On both sides. Buckle up.

And fwiw, part of that is b.c of the treatment, or lack of it, that Antifa and others have gotten the last 4 years. A lot of people are going to think what is good for the goose is good for the gander.

The leftist media was all for it when it helped push for social and political change they wanted, but it was achieved by sending the message that lawlessness was a right, that mobocracy was expression.

I said then it would come home to roost by only further eroding the social norms that hold things together, and it will.

No not conservatives. Maybe right wing but not conservatives. Proud boys are goose steppers. Mitch McConnell is a conservative. Mitt Romney too. Pence and many others are conservative. They are good Americans who on some issues I agree with and others I disagree with.

Proud Boys are goose steppers and if anyone engages in destruction of property and violence are criminals not exercising their first amendment rights. They are criminals. If Antifa or anyone on the left behaves in that manner, they are criminals too.

But I won't call Proud Boys or Klan or Nazis conservatives.

[UKHistory]

I'd say Antifa has got nothing past these...muthers supporting a truly disgraced president

[ukpumacat]

Trump supporters have now scaled the walls and steps of the Capitol. Much of Law enforcement has left the area as they have been overwhelmed.

Pence was just evacuated from the Senate floor.

I am overwhelmed with emotion. Sadness. Anger. Fear.

We can't wait until January 20.

[VirginiaCat]

Fully agree.

Legislative and law enforcement send the wrong message when they accept a type of behavior from one POV and not another. By accepting it this summer, they have set a standard.

Simply put, Peaceful assembly can be controlled, it is not rampant. Cities have a right to require permits for large gatherings, but they have to apply them equally to all points of view.

But here is the deal, we see violence (unfortunately) every single day. We see rioters every single year. All should be dealt with by the full extent of the law.
What we have never ever seen is a sitting President inciting a storming of the Capitol to stop the certification of the Electoral College in order to overthrow an election and retain power. Please stop comparing what is happening today to ANYTHING that has happened in the last 100 years. Nothing is comparable. This is 3rd world country stuff.

Catman,

That was bad but this is the nation's capitol. Our seat of government. These traitors stormed the building with every single elected leader in the country save for Trump there. Every nationally elected US government official in our government our civilian chain of command was put in jeopardy.

Those people that are on the steps should be should be given the chance to surrender and if they don't shot on sight.

Storming the Capitol is more dangerous and worse than what we saw in any city. And that was wrong. This is treason. It is a coup.

But, as we've been told for months by his supporters...this is just "Trump being Trump".

[catmanjack]

Yes it is wrong but we continue to allow these terrorist the freedom to destroy and tear down when the narrative fits that is causing a huge divide.

[ukpumacat]

Maybe the most stunning thing about all of this?

Every single terroirst group and organization the world wide now knows how easy it would be to overtake the Capitol while Congress is in session and blow up a room full of our leaders.

And frankly, maybe more stunning that no one has done it or thought to hide amongst the Trump supporters to do it today.
I did read they have diffused two homemade bombs already. I am sure they will do a huge sweep of the building before its occupied because maybe someone did.

[UKHistory]

BOTH sides have these terrorist!

Catman,

There are two sides right now. Those for the legitimate government of the United States and those opposed. I don't give a damn about BLM, Antifa, etc.

The goose steppers waving Q and Trump flags as they blaspheme Old Glory, they didn't take on BLM, they attacked the United States of America.

They are traitors.

What's happening today is the unavoidable conclusion of 25 years of indoctrination of the proletariat. The real blame lies with Gingrich and Limbaugh and Hannity.

This is why in the strangest way there will be a huge silver lining in all of this. Trump has lost a ton of support today. His brand has been tarnished in a way no one else could have done to him (but himself).

I just heard a Republican House member eviscerate a Fox News talking head. That just never happens in that way. He straight up called her out for even humoring anyone who says the election was stolen.
You will hear more and more of this.
I said earlier that guys like Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley have chosen the wrong side of history. And I argued guys like Sasse and Cotton chose correctly. And not just what is "right". I believe it was best for them politically even.
That was before the storming.
Now, good luck to Cruz and Hawley and anyone else who put their name on that letter.

[UKHistory]

I have to wonder with their asses in danger, will Cruz and others try and argue these votes. Seems more than ever, the notion of a stolen election must be stamped out.

For so many turning against Trump, many stand with him. How many Timothy McVeighs were in this crowd? How many more were motivated and will be further motivated when we retake the Capitol.

Trump is more than a symptom of rot. He was the infection of lawlessness that motivated the stupid and disenfranchised.

I agree totally. And does today’s protests in Washington trump the BLM protests? Different (minimal damage to property) but maybe more significant (damage to the democratic process). Oh, and I anticipate that some will think it is justifiable because the election was stolen. That is ok, you have the right.

"Police said both law enforcement and Trump supporters deployed chemical irritants during the hours long occupation of the Capitol building before it was cleared Wednesday evening by law enforcement.

The woman was shot earlier Wednesday as the mob tried to break through a barricaded door in the Capitol where police were armed on the other side. She was hospitalized with a gunshot wound and later died.

D.C. police officials also say two pipe bombs were recovered, one outside the Democratic National Committee and one outside the Republican National Committee. Police found a cooler from a vehicle that had a long gun and Molotov cocktail on Capitol grounds"

[kingcat]

From the Associated Press..

The Senate has overwhelmingly turned aside a challenge to President-elect Joe Biden’s victory in Arizona, guaranteeing the result will stand.

The objection to the results in Arizona -- spearheaded by Rep. Paul Gosar and Sen. Ted Cruz -- was rejected 93-6 on Wednesday night. All votes in favor came from Republicans, but after violent protesters mobbed the Capitol earlier Wednesday a number of GOP senators who had planned to support the objection reversed course.

The Republicans raised the objection based on false claims pushed by President Donald Trump and others of issues with the vote in Arizona, which were repeatedly dismissed in Arizona’s courts and by the state’s election officials.

10:10 p.m.

Sen. Lindsey Graham says a commission to examine the 2020 election is not a proper next step and affirmed that Joe Biden is the “legitimate president of the United States.”

Graham, a South Carolina Republican and longtime ally of President Donald Trump, called it a “uniquely bad idea to delay this election,” referencing the commission idea proposed by his fellow South Carolina Republican, U.S. Sen. Tim Scott.

Graham says, “Count me out. Enough is enough.”

Earlier Wednesday, supporters of Trump breached the U.S. Capitol, forcing a lockdown of the lawmakers and staff inside. Trump has claimed widespread voter fraud to explain away his defeat to President-elect Joe Biden, though election officials have said there wasn’t any.

Graham said that “if you’re a conservative,” the idea that Vice President Mike Pence could reverse the results of the election, as President Donald Trump had urged him to do, was “the most offensive concept in the world.”

Another interesting video on the insurgence.

The first few seconds of the video show some insight of how some of the Trump supporters that were there felt (that were not a part of any planned kidnapping, etc and without weapons I would assume):

"We can take that place" - says one Trump supporter while pointing at the Capitol.
"And then what?" - says another
"Heads on Spikes" he yells back.

I thought I heard that while things were going on in DC, that there was also things happening at the capitols in Michigan and Georgia. Haven't heard much about that, so not sure if it was not true, nothing came from it or it was just overshadowed by what happened in DC.

They have arrested the man (https://twitter.com/i/events/1347924332538855424) that was carrying the Speaker's lectern in Florida.

I couldn't help but laugh again that this is just another arrest that was made and looking at the mug shots that the men are now clean shaven. Did they really think that shaving was going to disguise them? I have to think so. These people are pretty dumb.

[bigsky]

But the pretty dumb guy part of the well armed well planned serious attempted coup and overthrow of the United States government! Yeah, it was Buffalo guy, Pelosi office guy, lectern guy, the heroin addict, the guys and gals wandering the capitol with their phones looking to do something they dunno what? Yeah, and the haute couture of the Proud Boys shows just how serious they were! And the guy who had and unregistered firearm and unregistered ammunition in DC! Reminds me of all the Californians (a generic term for the rich covid refugees) moving up here and looking out their windows and seeing a guy walking down the street with a pistol on their hip. After recovering from his high altitude induced fainting spell, but still light-headed, the Californian calls 911 and shrieks that "a man with a pistol walked by just a few feet from my window!" --and the operator has to inform him that it's legal to open carry in Bozeman and Montana. Upon which an angry outraged pajama boy Californian writes a screed to the editor demanding that we ban firearms, get a good hair salon, and turn Montana into the cesspool he left behind.

Just the view from one deplorable"s keyboard

You find the California man calling 911 about seeing a man legally carrying a pistol outrageous?

Well, maybe you can start to think about the thousands and thousands of black people that have had police called on them for simply existing. At least the pistol man you describe has absolutely NO chance of being stopped by police, thrown to the ground and possibly beaten or killed. Maybe you should think about what these people have to go through instead of the pistol carrying dude that faces absolutely no threat to their safety.

I would like to ask a few of the 4,000 black people that live in Montana if they have ever been harassed by simply just walking down the street or passing by someone's window. I have a suspicion that more than a few have faced unnecessary harassment that have infringed upon their freedoms.

Just a thought from some superior asshole.

Another Capitol police officer has died. Took his own life. Just sad.

"I haven’t yet said this publically, but I want to now. On Wednesday I felt literally and real evil as the insurrection went down. It is not something that happens much, but I’ve never felt it stronger than that day. Mass deception."

A Republican Congressman this morning.

Fwiw, the White House just lowered the flag. I'm glad.

The right thing to do. Took way too long.

[StuBleedsBlue2]

I'm not sure how THIS (https://twitter.com/CalebJHull/status/1348334770103660553) fits in with Blue Lives Matter.

Yet another distinction between the Insurrection and the summer riots, where nobody was beating and killing the people they "support".

[ukpumacat]

Btw, this guy who I posted about the other day has been identified and arrested.

Here he is (his social media has since all been taken down. But same as you would expect.)

Huge extremist and domestic terrorist that should be dealt with accordingly.
No true Americans support these actions nor those of any other group.

Sadly you are wrong, unless you are saying that nearly half your party are not true Americans.

Did you miss the polling that 45% of Republicans support the events at the Capitol? That poll, interestingly enough actually had 3% of Democrats that supported it as well.

Here is a video of a militia group called the "Oath Keepers" marching through the crowd (armed) to take siege at the Capitol. A quick google search will show all kinds of stuff.

https://twitter.com/jsrailton/status/1348115530654347266?s=20

In short, its a "pro Trump militia made up of former and active duty law enforcement and military".

And here is an article from the Atlantic on them from last year. Its about Civil War.

I'm not sure what that means, but how I am interpreting this, that is wrong too.

Have you not seen the posts of where I agree with people?

This is a video going viral right now (mostly on Parler). They take Trump's comments (out of context) to a call for war on January 20th.
Btw, if you don't think they mean a literal war, the creator is on Youtube outright saying that is what he means.

You, me and a few others take this SO seriously.

The rest...Meh, what about the summer riots? This is just a few bad actors. We're talking about this way too much.

The good news is that I THINK law enforcement will be much better prepared now. Not just in DC but also at State Capitols all over America (which the "blue states" turning red is alluding to...attacks at those State Capitols).
It may not stop people from trying but I think everyone is on edge now.
And as we have said...these Trump supporters are posting this openly and publicly because....well, they are dumb.

But I fully expect a shootout at some point somewhere. And/or a bombing. Just a reminder, they found two pipe bombs already planted that day and many more that were not planted yet. This was to be a massacre.

I can tell you this, the Secret Service (who is in charge of the inauguration) will not be nearly as reticent to use force.

I also think in due time the arrest and federal charges coming the way of the hundreds who made it inside the Capitol will help keep some at bay.
But, that video shows the radicalization that has happened. Some will not care to do time or die.
These are full on domestic terrorists.

You are right.

CNN just obtained reports from the FBI of the planned armed attacks on all 50 state capitols and DC in the days leading up to inauguration. That includes direct threats to Biden, Harris and Pelosi. Meanwhile, the acting head of DHS just stepped down.

[ukpumacat]

Two Capitol police officers suspended and one arrested.

Awh that’s a shame. Sad.

[StuBleedsBlue2]

New details emerge about the planned attack on the US Capitol.

4,000 armed terrorists are to surround the Capitol in an effort to block any Democrat from entering the building, with rules of engagement on when to fire or hold.

The Senate is being briefed on these details now.

It would be nice if we had a President who would talk to the American people about the threat we face from enemies, how to stay safe and ensure everyone that their safety is top priority.

[StuBleedsBlue2]

The more that I reflect back on what happened last week and what is planned for next week combined with Republican responses that pretty much border on 'let's move past this', the real problem is what happened over the summer, I can't help but to think about the Republican reaction to Benghazi.

So, if Republicans think that an attack by foreign enemies on our embassy that killed 4 Americans warranted years and years of repeated hearings, then you should have a sense of the minimum that will happen (if nothing else at all happens) over the next 5-10 years. It will be enjoyable to watch the Trump inner circle all testify in front of Congress for hours and hours, under oath, where they can potentially face consequences for lying.

As much as the sycophants want this to go away, everyone else realizes the real damage (especially relative to an incident like Benghazi that happened under several President's watch), they are in for a rude awakening and will have enormous impact of perception of incumbents and candidates in the future as it has in the past and ultimately gave us Trump.

Wow at this article about the militia groups that planned part of the Capitol attack.
