They were saying last night that the National Guard would be deployed without weapons.
They literally knew these people were going to come to do this, why weren’t they more prepared?
What are they going to use, harsh language and stern looks?
Exactly! You and FliktheBlue beat me to it.
They are using gas masks in the house chamber.
Odds are that was tweeted by a staffer after he ripped the phone out of Donald’s tiny hands.
I’m apparently living in one.
Shit, shit, shit. Why didn’t they have enough police to keep them out of the building? I was expecting a commotion outside, but I wasn’t expecting them to get in!
Time to take Congress to the Greenbriar and finish the joint session.
Just had a look at another message board that leans right. The Trump supporters over there are claiming that this is just a peaceful protest, nothing to worry about.
Trumplican Terrorists
Jim Acosta (CNN) just used the phrase “Bonfire Of The Insanities”.
Any Senator or Representative who continues with their objections after this is an absolute disgrace.
Can you imagine if Broebert shoots the protesters as they storm the Chambers?
That would have been funny if there are not reports of protesters firing INTO the Chambers
Holy Fuck!
This is frightening. Trump has turned us into a banana republic. I can’t believe they didn’t prepare with more security.
CNN reporting that police are standing at the House front door, guns drawn.
And your point is… ?
(Just kidding. Sorta.)
I’m going to be REALLY PISSED if this doesn’t end up in HUNDREDS of arrests and prosecutions. Just order them to disperse, bring in several gross of zipties and start peeling these fuckers off from the outside.
That’s my thought. This riot may ultimately backfire–no further objections will be made; they’ll just want to get the procedure over with as quickly as possible.
And yeah - pretty crazy to suggest that the capitol police were adequately prepared.
