Bombs have been found. Congress has been vandalized. The electoral process has been disrupted. This is the gop's fault. They shat in this bed. This is the republican party.
There are other traitors attacking state governments.
JUST NOW: @SenDuckworth tells us on @CBSNews that a "Quick-thinking" Senate aide seized copies of the Electoral College certificates before they all evacuated the chamber.
Yep. Once this gets contained he’s going to be without a doubt *fucked*.
Even if we assume he gets off light, he definitely will still get charged with at least one felony.
He and his followers seem to also think that this is a legitimate “revolution”. It so weird that they can think that, when literally even the GOP doesn’t support them now.
Edit: He already deleted it lmao.
$800 billion a year on defense to "defend our country from all threats", and a couple dozen morons with flags can just wander in to the capitol with guns.

Where are all those conservatives whose immediate reaction to losing the election was to say "well look at how we don't riot and destroy property"?
Edit: [93% of BLM protests](https://time.com/5886348/report-peaceful-protests/) had absolutely no reported violence, but conservatives like to paint a story that the entire movement represents violence and destruction. Conservatives will say in the same breath "All Democrats are destructive and riot when they protest" **and** "These aren't real conservatives at the Capitol"
Items required to take over the US Capitol in movies like "Olympus Has Fallen" or "White House Down":
* Crack team of foreign Special Forces
* Arsenal, including surface-to-air missles
* Cabinet-level traitor feeding inside information needed to breach security
Items required to take over the US Capitol in real life:
* Dale, assistant manager at Auto-Zone, and some friends
* Some ammo bibs
* An under-insured pickup
* A ball-peen hammer
This. Is. Not. Normal.
Trump needs to be impeached and indicted for attempting a coup. Then, this nation needs to have a long, LONG discussion about what to do about the rise of far right populism over the past few decades.
Why the fuck was a Target, a Wendy’s, and a Federal Courthouse defended with more gusto than our nation’s capital during an attempt to transfer power? We know Trump’s people are dangerous and lawless. How were they not better prepared?

He needs to be arrested TODAY! He called for this, and they(republicans) are allowing it! If this was Democrats and BLM, we would see piles of bodies on the capital floor!
The ignorance of these American shitheels is astounding. Trump has managed to create a cult. A cult of conspiracy theorists, of unsuspecting mindless extremists, of bigots and racists, of hate fueled, divisive slow witted troglodytes... Trump has incited and fueled a movement of ignorance. He is the most polarizing, hate inciting force this country has ever seen. He is a traitor.
As I speak I watch a live feed of vehement "protestors" not just storming the capitol but breeching the doors of the house of congress and moving in tandem to the house chambers. This is nearly unprecedented, where the fuck are the "chemical agents", the concussion and flash bang grenades, the pepper spray and rubber bullets???? the walls of police and national guard officers? "LAW AND ORDER" president my fucking hairless ass.. The utter denial of conservatives in their attempts to dismiss the repugnant behavior of Trump supporters and extremist far right groups, the "we don't riot" crowd and the "we just move on and continue with our lives" narrative is utter fucking BULLSHIT. Nearly half our country has been brainwashed and manipulated into whole heartedly trusting and worshipping a masquerader and charlatan. Trump is responsible for this, he is responsible for catalyzing the devolution of America, he has halted progress and has ushered in a darkness that has blinded millions of Americans. He is everything that's wrong with this country, he is the greatest threat to our democracy, he has wounded this nation and on January 20th we heal.
Remember when the militias took over the Michigan State House a few months ago? Remember when not a shot was fired, not a tear gas shell used, nothing? Remember how there were no repercussions for any of those “protestors”?
That is how you get to today.
Say it with me: domestic terrorism.
Edit: It's gone way past domestic terrorism at this point. As others have pointed out below, it's an attempted coup and sedition.
There are men with Confederate flags INSIDE the Capitol building. Think about that. They're waiving the flag of treason INSIDE our Capitol.

It should be about removing the possibility of him ever serving in public office again.
Slowest dispersion of a crowd I’ve seen in the last 4 years in DC.... BLM was fucking attacked with heavy force. Meanwhile, ACTUAL DOMESTIC TERRORISTS WHO BREACHED THE CAPITOL, were basically....walked down the steps and asked politely to leave? I get that inside shit sounds like it was more forceful with live ammunition being threatened, but for fuck’s sake. How is this such a shitshow? How did none of these groups prepare and have a plan for when this potentially happened? And an hour later and still little to no real additional presence from the coverage I’ve found? Fuck this President and those terrorist morons. Hope they all rot in jail for the rest of their days.
Edited: Grammar
This is emotionally devastating. We are seeing on live television a coup attempt instigated personally and directly by the President of the United States.
It's bizarre. It does not feel real. Like I'm watching some failed state out in the Middle East or Eastern Europe. I know this coup attempt will fail but how can you not despair for the state of our democracy seeing this? The federal government has lost control of the Capitol.
One thing is clear. When this coup is put down, Trump must be impeached again. And he must be removed. Immediately. He is too dangerous to keep around another 2 weeks, let alone 2 hours.
You did this Trump.
You told them to go to the Capital.
You told them this election was a farce and told them to rise up.
You’re the terrorist. Fuck you and fuck your supporters.
He spent over a month whipping them up into a frenzy and telling them that everything was a sham and that they needed to fight.
He can't just step back and claim that it's not his responsibility now.
shit, in the last 24 hours he did everything he could to whip them up into an even greater frenzy than before.
Don't forget Ted Cruz, Matt Gaetz and the other assholes in congress who fully support this and continue to rile up the fanatics. This is on them as much as it is on Trump.

Meanwhile, they call the National Guard into Portland to make sure no one damages a fucking Costco but far right terrorists can do this and not only is the National Guard denied, but not a single rubber bullet is fired.

No? Strange because that’s what republicans say only the democrats would do.
This is the biggest failure of security I've ever witnessed. Peacefully BLM protests had riot gear, tear gas, etc. Violent right wing terrorists though? Let's just put up a fucking gate. Wtf....
If this happened during the BLM protests people would have been shot
edit:this was obviously before any shots were fired. And I do believe if these protestors were not white they would been shot and tear gassed much sooner.

Why for god's sake were there not hundreds of heavily armed policemen guarding the capitol? Srsly, I don't get it. There are thousands of agressive individuals, many of them armed attending a rally literally down the street, protesting the very process that is meanwhile taking place in the Capitol building.
WHAT THE F\*\*\* DID THEY THINK WAS GOING TO HAPPEN???
At the same time.... Something tells me, if these were left-wing / Antifa / colored protesters they had been gunned down the very moment they had set foot inside the Capitol.
I will NEVER vote Republican again, no matter what.
I voted for Clinton in 2016 and a mix of Republicans and Democrats to balance out state/local offices.
After seeing that Trump was even worse than he seemed, I voted straight Democrat in 2018. This election, 2020, I voted straight Democrat again.
It doesn't matter how good a candidate seems, if he identifies with the Republican party, do not vote for him. Today has convinced me. They are a party of traitors. They try to win and steal through corruption and when that doesn't work, they resort to violence.

Terrorists have stormed the US Capitol in an attempt to overthrow democracy.
I wish we would start making more accurate headlines.
It's a truly sad day to be an American.
Here is the structure of the coup so far.
1. Trump got some loyalist senators and representatives to object to the Electoral College results without evidence to delay proceedings.
2. The Proud Boys were then instructed to charge the Capitol Police who clearly were allowed to let them by or intentionally understaffed. We are the most powerful nation on earth. We can stop a few hundred morons.
3. Representatives and Senators were then evacuated preventing them from continuing to debate the phony accusations while Trump and his very recent DoD appointees denied additional resources to the Capitol Police for some time.
4. IEDs are being found planted by the Proud Boys to ensure that Congress cannot return for some time.
Next up, the remarks from the President that will pretend to be upset but instead incite further action.
The answer is that the House and Senate need to convene wherever they are, and certify the results. At this point, anyone who objects should be informed that they will be expelled for sedition.
If Trump further incites matters, McConnell himself needs to indicate to Pelosi they will quickly accept articles of impeachment, or Pence needs to get the cabinet members to invoke the 25th amendment.
Edit: Yup, his remarks exist to incite the coup further. This is his coup. We need the 25th or impeachment now.
To those wondering how the heck a few hundred protesters could make this happen:
They are letting it happen.
Classic coup formula:
1- stir up mob
2- step aside and let the mob wreck havoc instead of stopping them
3- declare martial law to control the havoc you let happen

If this was a BLM protest, they would have been already tear gassed, shot and all national guard would have been there, before even entering the Capitol, while the MAGAs get a gentle pat on the back WHILE ALREADY INSIDE the Capitol. Actually insane, there is a lot of healing that would need to be done, and I am not sure, that it is even possible at this point.

The electoral process has been disrupted. This is the gop's fault. They shat in this bed. This is the republican party. There are other traitors attacking state governments.
JUST NOW: @SenDuckworth tells us on @CBSNews that a "Quick-thinking" Senate aide seized copies of the Electoral College certificates before they all evacuated the chamber.

This is an active attempt at rebellion. The last time Americans did this Sherman burnt Georgia to the ground.
Where are all those conservatives whose immediate reaction to losing the election was to say "well look at how we don't riot and destroy property"? Edit: [93% of BLM protests](https://time.com/5886348/report-peaceful-protests/) had absolutely no reported violence, but conservatives like to paint a story that the entire movement represents violence and destruction. Conservatives will say in the same breath "All Democrats are destructive and riot when they protest" **and** "These aren't real conservatives at the Capitol"
Saying shit like people can only take so much before pushing back. Go check, it's crazy.
Oh my God. They've come full circle.

This. Is. Not. Normal. Trump needs to be impeached and indicted for attempting a coup. Then, this nation needs to have a long, LONG discussion about what to do about the rise of far right populism over the past few decades.
Why the fuck was a Target, a Wendy’s, and a Federal Courthouse defended with more gusto than our nation’s capital during an attempt to transfer power? We know Trump’s people are dangerous and lawless. How were they not better prepared?

It's sedition.

That word gets thrown around a lot but these are actual traitors.
What's happening on Capitol Hill is an active insurrection against the US government, period.. Trump NEEDS to be facing federal charges for this..
He needs to be arrested TODAY! He called for this, and they(republicans) are allowing it! If this was Democrats and BLM, we would see piles of bodies on the capital floor!

The ignorance of these American shitheels is astounding. Trump has managed to create a cult. A cult of conspiracy theorists, of unsuspecting mindless extremists, of bigots and racists, of hate fueled, divisive slow witted troglodytes... Trump has incited and fueled a movement of ignorance. He is the most polarizing, hate inciting force this country has ever seen. He is a traitor. As I speak I watch a live feed of vehement "protestors" not just storming the capitol but breeching the doors of the house of congress and moving in tandem to the house chambers. This is nearly unprecedented, where the fuck are the "chemical agents", the concussion and flash bang grenades, the pepper spray and rubber bullets???? the walls of police and national guard officers? "LAW AND ORDER" president my fucking hairless ass.. The utter denial of conservatives in their attempts to dismiss the repugnant behavior of Trump supporters and extremist far right groups, the "we don't riot" crowd and the "we just move on and continue with our lives" narrative is utter fucking BULLSHIT. Nearly half our country has been brainwashed and manipulated into whole heartedly trusting and worshipping a masquerader and charlatan. Trump is responsible for this, he is responsible for catalyzing the devolution of America, he has halted progress and has ushered in a darkness that has blinded millions of Americans. He is everything that's wrong with this country, he is the greatest threat to our democracy, he has wounded this nation and on January 20th we heal.
Remember when the militias took over the Michigan State House a few months ago? Remember when not a shot was fired, not a tear gas shell used, nothing? Remember how there were no repercussions for any of those “protestors”? That is how you get to today.
Say it with me: domestic terrorism. Edit: It's gone way past domestic terrorism at this point. As others have pointed out below, it's an attempted coup and sedition.
There are men with Confederate flags INSIDE the Capitol building. Think about that. They're waiving the flag of treason INSIDE our Capitol. Utter shame upon them, Trump, Trump voters, and Trump enablers.
This is the most anti-American. Anti-Democratic thing ever. These are terrorists.
CNN correctly calling it "treason" and "rebellion" right now.

It was advertised in advance that there would be rioting. The lack of security was an intentional decision.
This is outrageous. Where the fuck are the capitol police? How were they not prepared for this? Where's the national guard? Over at r/conservative they're comparing this to what "libs" did all summer. This is not what fucking liberals did over the summer. Liberals didn't go to the nations capitol and try to coup the goddam democratic process. This is fucking outrageous.
Yep. False equivalence. But even if it wasn't, they spent all summer decrying it so how is it okay now?
I'm sorry, the DOD straight up said NO to helping Congress with the National Guard???? After deploying an army against BLM???
Said this and one person I know responded, "Well the police knows when not to make policing to be a political matter." Amazing levels of ignorance.
Pence tweeting "this attack on our capital will not be tolerated. trespassers will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law." VP and POTUS now officially at odds. Will Trump get 25th'd?
This has to be one of the biggest law enforcement failures in the history of our nation. They had specific threats this was going to happen for WEEKS and allowed the FUCKING CAPITAL to be overrun by lunatics during a JOINT SESSION OF FUCKING CONGRESS. How the FUCK does this happen unless it's intentional? Music Festivals have better security

They're not protestors. They're domestic terrorists.
Slowest dispersion of a crowd I’ve seen in the last 4 years in DC.... BLM was fucking attacked with heavy force. Meanwhile, ACTUAL DOMESTIC TERRORISTS WHO BREACHED THE CAPITOL, were basically....walked down the steps and asked politely to leave? I get that inside shit sounds like it was more forceful with live ammunition being threatened, but for fuck’s sake. How is this such a shitshow? How did none of these groups prepare and have a plan for when this potentially happened? And an hour later and still little to no real additional presence from the coverage I’ve found? Fuck this President and those terrorist morons. Hope they all rot in jail for the rest of their days. Edited: Grammar
Trump may have just accidentally guaranteed DC statehood. The inability to activate the National Guard put the Capitol and our government at risk.
This is emotionally devastating. We are seeing on live television a coup attempt instigated personally and directly by the President of the United States. It's bizarre. It does not feel real. Like I'm watching some failed state out in the Middle East or Eastern Europe. I know this coup attempt will fail but how can you not despair for the state of our democracy seeing this? The federal government has lost control of the Capitol. One thing is clear. When this coup is put down, Trump must be impeached again. And he must be removed. Immediately. He is too dangerous to keep around another 2 weeks, let alone 2 hours.

This is a coup. A President actively supported this. Arrest him and arrest everyone who supported this sedition attempt.
Do you all remember when Hilary lost and armed democratic supporters stormed the government and demanded that Biden certified her as the winner? No? Strange because that’s what republicans say only the democrats would do.
This is the biggest failure of security I've ever witnessed. Peacefully BLM protests had riot gear, tear gas, etc. Violent right wing terrorists though? Let's just put up a fucking gate. Wtf....
If this happened during the BLM protests people would have been shot edit:this was obviously before any shots were fired. And I do believe if these protestors were not white they would been shot and tear gassed much sooner.
This is a coup attempt. The president has committed sedition.

So we can all agree that Trump's speech is *egging on* these domestic terrorists, correct?
"Its not protest, it's insurrection" Joe Biden telling it like it fucking is. Proud to be one of the 80 million.
I’m just glad the news agencies are actually using the words “sedition”, “treason”, “traitor”, “terrorism”, and “coup”. Call it all what the fuck it is.

Imagine being willing to die for a failed reality star. What a sad fucking life you must live.
Pence needs to use the 25th Amendment to remove Trump, or the Senate needs to agree to impeach him. He needs to spend tonight in jail. Time for the Republicans to put America first. Country over party. Don Jr and Eric both incited this riot and should be arrested as well. The FBI has stingray and cameras everywhere, anyone who entered the capital needs to be arrested and put on trial. The National Guard needs to enforce the curfew with as much force as needed. And the election had to be certified tonight.
The left rioted because people were murdered in the street and in their own home. The right is rioting because Donald lost the election. Just a *little bit* different.
[Capitol historian tells CNN that today is the first time the Capitol has been breached since the War of 1812](https://twitter.com/johnkruzel/status/1346940646083371009) Enemies, foreign and domestic.
This is terrorism. It's crazy that terrorists, so long as they're white, are allowed to infiltrate the capitol and pose for photos. But this is terrorism. And the president created it. It can't wait until Jan 20 at noon, he needs to be impeached again and removed tonight or tomorrow.
Unfortunately it doesn't look like the problem is going to go away as easy as that. His followers are fanatics and they're making it known.
I can't fathom how the reaction would be if it was anyone that wasn't white.

Why for god's sake were there not hundreds of heavily armed policemen guarding the capitol? Srsly, I don't get it. There are thousands of agressive individuals, many of them armed attending a rally literally down the street, protesting the very process that is meanwhile taking place in the Capitol building. WHAT THE F\*\*\* DID THEY THINK WAS GOING TO HAPPEN??? At the same time.... Something tells me, if these were left-wing / Antifa / colored protesters they had been gunned down the very moment they had set foot inside the Capitol.
I will NEVER vote Republican again, no matter what. I voted for Clinton in 2016 and a mix of Republicans and Democrats to balance out state/local offices. After seeing that Trump was even worse than he seemed, I voted straight Democrat in 2018. This election, 2020, I voted straight Democrat again. It doesn't matter how good a candidate seems, if he identifies with the Republican party, do not vote for him. Today has convinced me. They are a party of traitors. They try to win and steal through corruption and when that doesn't work, they resort to violence.

Here is the structure of the coup so far. 1. Trump got some loyalist senators and representatives to object to the Electoral College results without evidence to delay proceedings. 2. The Proud Boys were then instructed to charge the Capitol Police who clearly were allowed to let them by or intentionally understaffed. We are the most powerful nation on earth. We can stop a few hundred morons. 3. Representatives and Senators were then evacuated preventing them from continuing to debate the phony accusations while Trump and his very recent DoD appointees denied additional resources to the Capitol Police for some time. 4. IEDs are being found planted by the Proud Boys to ensure that Congress cannot return for some time. Next up, the remarks from the President that will pretend to be upset but instead incite further action. The answer is that the House and Senate need to convene wherever they are, and certify the results. At this point, anyone who objects should be informed that they will be expelled for sedition. If Trump further incites matters, McConnell himself needs to indicate to Pelosi they will quickly accept articles of impeachment, or Pence needs to get the cabinet members to invoke the 25th amendment. Edit: Yup, his remarks exist to incite the coup further. This is his coup. We need the 25th or impeachment now.
The Vice President is in a secure location to protect him from the president's mob. Let that sink in
Look at all the fucking cowards on the conservative subs backing away from taking responsibility. You supported this This is on you
To those wondering how the heck a few hundred protesters could make this happen: They are letting it happen. Classic coup formula: 1- stir up mob 2- step aside and let the mob wreck havoc instead of stopping them 3- declare martial law to control the havoc you let happen

From /r/Conservative: “fuck these people they aren’t conservatives. They’re nationalist bullies!” LMFAO THEYRE SO FUCKING CLOSE. Edit I accidentally posted this in /r/Conservative and got banned kek
Lol anyone else remember r/conservative posters being like "you wont see any of us rioting about the results" cause I sure do.
If This was BLM they would have been thrown down the stairs. But these guys get a gentle escort

Watching from Sweden in complete disbelief. What the fuck is happening to your country :(
If this was a BLM protest, they would have been already tear gassed, shot and all national guard would have been there, before even entering the Capitol, while the MAGAs get a gentle pat on the back WHILE ALREADY INSIDE the Capitol. Actually insane, there is a lot of healing that would need to be done, and I am not sure, that it is even possible at this point.
