what is insane is to listen to these reporters cackle about how violent and dangerous this is as they continue to show live footage of people just wandering around...

no smoke, no flames, no spray paint, no Molotov cocktails, no people being beaten, nobody screaming at the police or throwing things at them that I've seen...

No surprise. As I said recently, be glad we have the system we have because of we didn't, this would be even worse. Breaching the capitol. At least they aren't wearing pink hats with ears .

This is the dumbest thing you've ever posted, and that's a remarkable feat.

Beyond dumb, but expected, Trump supported thugs are inside the white house and breaking into the chamber. Banana republic time was right around the corner if Trump had won the election. Where is our leader, where is the outrage that his supporters have taken over the white house, my guess is he is in the residence just enjoying the show. What the F*ck is this a movie set for a white house down sequel.

Exactly, Trump is loving the fact that his crazies would do something like this. Jim will probably counter with a remark about black unemployment.

What no TV in your home, you are F*cking nuts if you think this is peaceful. I love the outrage about protesting over BLM, I'm guessing there will be little outrage from the right on this board to what is happening today. How do you think the world is viewing the US, when thugs and radical Trump supporters can overrun security and enter the white house and actually force their way into the chamber. We used to be the example of democracy and how at the end of a term, once an election is certified we peacefully transitioned to insure our national security. This is how fragile democracies fall and Trump has fanned the fire and now is enjoying watching it burn, he is nothing more than a domestic terrorist at this point.

by far the worst moment of his presidency, nothing comes close, conservatives can never again say that liberals are the only ones to resort to violence when outcomes don’t go the way they want. It’s disgusting. Horrifying.

Only their leader, who told them to march to the Capital is in the White House.

Trumpist criminal incitement this morning:

TRUMP called for the mob to be "strong" and "fight" and said he'd go with them to the Capitol.

TRUMP'S LAWYER urged "trial by combat."

TRUMP'S SON said to Congress, "we're coming for you, and we're going to have a good time doing it."

A source close to the White House who is in touch with some of the rioters at the Capitol said it's the goal of those involved to stay inside the Capitol through the night.

How and why is someone close to the WH familiar enough with the rioters to be “in touch with them”? That tells me this is a coordinated effort. That’s called conspiracy.

i think a lot of them think they are.

i didn’t think the last days would be like this. i couldn’t have been more wrong.

i don’t see how a republican gets elected outside of a real right wing state for a long time. all
the democrats need to do is hang onto large scale mail in voting, and/or give voting rights to non citizens, and poof, that’s it.

The republicans running against Trump in 2016 warned the party what Trump was and Trump's legacy won't be (sorry SD) that he is the greatest president of all time, it will be the he single handedly brought the republican party to it's demise.

Don't worry, the DOJ has people who do sleuthing.

Lisa Monaco will be Deputy AG and has plenty of prosecution experience, probably bring back Andrew Weissman to help.
They won't be as nice as Mueller

This administration will set records for indictments.

before last night, i’d have said that was nonsense. now, i have no argument. none. except it’s not him that will be the demise, it’s the democrats willingness to change things to guarantee they prevail ( letting non citizens vote, stacking courts, etc).

that’s typically true. but if they give voting rights to non citizens, there’s no such thing as going too far, because jen you’ve shifted the electorate to the left. it’s not something obama would have done. i can’t see why they wouldn’t do it now. nor can i see the way to overcome that, combined with the media.
