The Daily Mail is headlining it ‘Anarchy in the USA’ . I never dreamt to see a headline like that .
God bless Joe Biden and his team going forwards. Clearly these thugs aren’t going to accept defeat- why would they having watched their bully doing as he’s pleased for 4 years? Trump couldn’t call this off even if he had the integrity to do so as the thugs are having far too much fun.
Be careful what you wish for, Donald!

just as i was stunned (in a good way) by McConnell's speech, i am stunned and angered by what happened afterwards. the violence, the protests, and the disgusting silence from the instigator and cause of this violence.

If this was BLM protests, think how different this would be. And why is there not more police there? Did they think it would be people sitting around singing Kumbaya? WTF???

The mayor of DC has been on the local evening news this week begging everyone to stay away from downtown. If they knew enough to do that, there should have been a better plan. Supposedly the Dept of Defense turned down the mayor's request for DC National Guard deployment. (Prior to this) She tried. |

‘You can’t shake the devils hand then say you’re only kidding, son!’
Love this quote on Twitter.
Why are twitter allowing trump to still tweet?!

This Is what happens when you don’t hold leaders accountable. The GOP encouraged and allowed it to come to this.

It’s shocking to watch this unfold. I did not believe it would actually come to this today. How could you not? he said months ago he would do it. He asked his Magats to "stand by" He literally said he would fight the election results in any way to win. he is so scared of losing presidential protections that he's done this. The US really needs to rethink their election process and who the hell can run. |

My county voted almost 80% for Trump, my friends, and my family. Most of them voted for Trump. Even in my own house there's a division. I never thought in my entire life I would be seeing civil unrest HERE that happens in countries without a Democracy. Then to hear the former mayor of NYC during the September 11th attack incite violence? He is inciting domestic terrorism.  |

Virginia’s governor is sending our National Guard into DC to help. Thank G-d for Ralph Northam (D).

As I've said before, we're busily making "banana republics" look good. I am saddened and disgusted and ashamed.

They are replacing the US Flags that fly at the Capitol with Trump flags.
I hate them so much. What a fucking travesty and disrespect to the US Flag.

If she was in the building illegally to stop our democratic process, I feel zero sympathy for her. |

I am glad he is, but am curious as to why that wasn’t done when the DOD denied previous request for NG. There are different National Guards. Each state has their own. The DC Mayor called in limited DC National Guard support and that was there this morning. They weren’t enough to handle the crowds that Trump whipped into a frenzy this morning. Eta: If Texas wanted to, they could send their National Guard to help. |

I just saw an injured woman (blood all over her face) being taken out on stretcher.. this is just just horrible. if you continue to support trump I can't talk to you anymore. At the risk of sounding like a cold hearted bitch I will wait to see if I feel horrible for this woman. If she was one that stormed the Capitol hellbent on causing disruption to the process then I am going to have a hard time finding sympathy for her. You play with fire don't be surprised when you get burned. |
