Seriously, as soon as they knew the crowd was moving to the capital, they should have had more people deployed. ---

Why would they? They like the President, so he’s not in any danger. And I just saw the report of the woman on the stretcher. I’m assuming right now that she’s a protestor, but we’ll see. Hopefully my impression about casualties bears out. ---

The Russians must be entertained, nothing more. Nothing to soil pants over, this is fun to watch for them. I think AK84 is alluding to them either peeing their pants from laughter, or that they are so excited, their underwear resembles a fifteen year old boy’s bedsheets. ---

I turned to Fox News and GOP Congressmen are appalled (I mean too little too late). Rep McCarthy (House Minority Leader) jut called the protestors “un-American”. Like I said this may be the last straw. ---

Well, I guess the balloon has gone up, as the Brits might say. What a disgusting spectacle at the Capitol. Fuck all those MAGA assholes Any chance Trump can be arrested for incitement to riot now? Pretty please. ---

It’s going to be very interesting to see how the Trumpists blame this on Antifa and BLM. ---

I hope there is a way to get all the senators and representatives out through some back door. Once that’s done the rebels inside should be put down. ---

Actually, Trump showing up would probably make everything peaceful. The protesters would go from “We are enraged at Pelosi and Schumer” to “Trump! Trump! Trump!” and surrounding him for selfies. ---
