This is Trump's wet dream. Now the little boy has his own "army".

Never thought we'd see Wally George in the White House. Glad to see him leaving.

What? Wait! Isn't Wally dead?

Here's video from the protesters entering the Capitol building. The police are being as peaceful as possible. It looks like they basically allowed the protesters to enter - perhaps the only other option was violence.

I wonder if these guys realize that if the election isn't certified, Nancy Pelosi becomes President.

Pelosi Would Become President If Election Results Are Not Certified, Says Law Professor

A law professor says if the results of the presidential election are not certified by the deadline, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi would become President until a winner is certified.

****. Someone's been shot inside the Capitol building. What is this, 1976 Argentina?

Here's a live feed from outside the Capitol building:

Trump has finally told the protestors to "go home": Trump calls on Capitol protesters to 'go home,' continues to make false election claims. This is AFTER someone got shot inside the capitol building. Great timing, shithead.

Who would have thought the security arrangements for the capitol of the most powerful country in the world is a complete Mickey Mouse operation? It would be comical if the stakes weren't so high, and people didn't get hurt. Someone's going to lose their job, but the damage to the USA's reputation around the world is already done and Putin is having another field day.

Welcome to the Banana Republic of America.

Georgia elections are completed:

ATLANTA (Reuters) -Democrats on Wednesday completed a sweep of the two U.S. Senate seats up for grabs in runoff elections in the state of Georgia, giving the party control of the chamber and boosting the prospects for President-elect Joe Biden’s ambitious legislative agenda.

All you'd have to do is change the skin color of those overtaking the Capital building for the q'rumpers to lose their minds and demand they be shot

 

[1956]

Watching the certification on CNN turned into an insurrection nightmare from here in Ireland has been surreal...

These base trump supporters are Such scary people...trump has incited this situation...
The republican lawmakers who back trump (retrumplicans as some CNN commentators call them) also created this situation
Not sure if I will be able to get any sleep tonight...as Horrible as this is I feel like I just want to see it end...
At least Georgia showed that they don’t want retrumplicans...
January 20th can not come soon enough...

Fantastic news from Georgia. Honestly didn't really believe it would happen, glad to be wrong.

A note of caution though a lot of the media are saying things like "Democrats control the senate" - that is overly simplistic because of the filibuster. They only have 50 senators and you need 60 to beat the filibuster.

Also, all the non-fillibustered votes will depend on whether anyone votes against party lines. If 50 Republicans are united they only need 1 democrat to join with them and they win.

The person who was shot in the Capitol building was a woman. She has died.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The head of a major U.S. business group that represents 14,000 companies including Exxon Mobil Corp, Pfizer Inc and Toyota Motor Corp urged senior U.S. officials to consider removing President Donald Trump from office after supporters of the outgoing president stormed the U.S. Capitol.

National Association of Manufacturers President and CEO Jay Timmons said Trump “incited violence in an attempt to retain power, and any elected leader defending him is violating their oath to the Constitution and rejecting democracy in favor of anarchy.... Vice President (Mike) Pence, who was evacuated from the Capitol, should seriously consider working with the Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment to preserve democracy.”

Police shoot unarmed people all the time. I bet she wouldn't have been shot if she hadn't stormed a government building . I can't believe how much is being allowed--not surprised though
