    I wonder if this tweet ever got enacted, or if it was another example of him saying stuff but not doing the work to make it happen.

    They’ll all go to jail, lose their minimum wage job and go find another one. I doubt many of them have any kind of education or demanding jobs.

    Still so surreal to see the C-Span coverage of how peaceful the mall side is, knowing I just flipped away from screaming and tear gas on the other side.

    Told my wife that I wanted to run for Congress but now I see that it involves running from it too. Guess I am out.

    Lets be honest. Most of these idiots showing up for this likely aren't doing anything extraordinary to begin with. This is the most excitement they have had in their life since that one time they beat their cousins at paintball. If they get fired, oh well, live another day.

    Yes, I’m sure at least half of the content of HS history books in 50 years will be devoted to the day some guys entered the capital building and got arrested.
    It’s the darkest day in the last 70 years of our country, I hear. I’d better get my pencils sharpened.

    In the event of a loss, Trumps tenure as POTUS was never going to end differently than we’ve seen the past couple of weeks

    he’s a whiny sore loser bitch who only knows how to burn things down when life doesn’t go his way.

    Meanwhile he’s the first president in history to hit what I will forever call the Trump Grand Slam

    -get impeached
    -lose the house
    -lose the senate
    -lose re-election.

    Couldn’t happen to a bigger human turd and I’m glad to see the usual sycophants on here normalizing his abhorrent behavior with their ignorance and cheap false equivalencies instead of stepping up and owning what they started.

    "With the exception of the Capitol as that is different and not really a monument etc. So please go to the Capitol and do your thing for me as I am hurt and in pain because everything is always stolen from me. Love you all...we understand your pain so go get rid of that thing and remember we are all hurting from my election!" Signed, Trump the God!

    Kinzinger on Fox just called out Pavlich (who was calling for discussion) respectfully, there is nothing to discuss, Trump lost and he and others have spun conspiracies and falsehoods and these people today, believed the lies that something was magically going to happen.

    Not confident you actually own a pencil so please rephrase to getting your Crayola's sharpened. You are welcome for the clarification.

    This. They have plenty of surveilance to identify and prosecute.

    My only fear is that Trump is going to pardon this.

    Pence needs to 25th him and McConnell needs to support it.

    I'm just thankful there wasn't a cell that took advantage of the chaos. My fear is that they will not miss the next opportunity. Can you imagine what a burning capital Hill would appear like on BBC?

    How long will it take to sweep the buildings for bombs and electronic devices after everyone is cleared. And you know computers were left logged in.
    One video feed had some chick photographing papers left on a desk.

    Well he’s absolutely correct. They weren’t staging a coup. That would take a plan. They had no plan. Their only intent was to disrupt and throw a public tantrum.

    They took the Capitol...and what did they do? They didn’t seize power. They didn’t kidnap any of the next in line for the POTUS. They didn’t make demands. They didn’t form an infrastructure to keep control of the building. They roamed around like blubber-heads at Disney World without a map. They sat in chairs and took selfies.

    They’re just a bunch of hateful idiots who drove in from other states because Trump told them to, who crowded in for another covid super-spreader Trump rally, who were told once again by Trump’s rally rhetoric to attack the Capitol and disrupt the proceedings, who then went and got ginned up and did it.

    They had no organization, no plan, no goal. Just a bunch of dumb rabid dogs running around, barking at squirrels.
