This is an updated thread by CNN.

It seems the true anarchists are the tRump supporters. Seems they came prepared to take action. They should all be arrested and tried for sedition!

Another one for the history books.

Looks like they evacuated Pence.

Trump's GOP Allies Begin Futile Effort To Overturn Election

On the urging of Donald Trump, Republicans in Congress objected to certification of state election results. They will fail, but hurt democracy in the process.

Don't worry. I'm sure the President, realizing things have gone to far, will call for his supporters to stand down...

We should see the use of tear gas and force now since that was used for a photo op.

Tyranny will come with a Bible and a gun in one hand and a flag in the other.


Listening to elected politicians spout conspiracy theories and call for overturning of a democratic election is disgusting and I hope there is recourse for their actions.

Perhaps it's time to show these pro-fascism protesters what bloated police budgets and no oversight can do

They should all be arrested and then tried for sedition. If convicted, that is the consequence.

and US Congress recessed before certifying the Electoral College votes because protesters breached security and were in the building.

Some reporters are saying the protestors are trying to break down a door to one of the house chambers.

Where’s the Troops, this is federal land.

Trump should be removed from office immediately. Everyone breaking in the capitol should be imprisoned.

"Over the next 10 days, we get to see the machines that are crooked, the ballots that are fraudulent. And if we're wrong, we will be made fools of. But if we're right, and lot of them will go to jail. So -- let's have trial by combat" -- Giuliani

I haven’t heard it’s been granted but I did hear that it’s being worked up the chain.

In further developments, just saw a tweet from a reporter who said the DOD is denying the request for a DC National Guard change of mission.

Very fluid situation, hard to get straight information

Just heard a SCIF has been breached. Any doubt that foreign intel actors would be embedded in this crowd of traitors???

If the SCIFs I’ve been in have been any indication, just getting inside is totally pointless. Safes and computer systems are locked down better than the doors.

Capital police are so obviously complicit in this. There needs to be an investigation into why they so obviously ALLOWED this to happen.

 

[kage69]

Fuck all you treasonous trumptards. Do you have any idea what this kind of theater says to our allies and adversaries?!

The Capital Police, being under the control of Congress, are probably less well equipped to handle stuff compared with the police forces of the executive branch.

And if the ones I've been in are an indication, I'm surprised they managed it. It takes some fairly serious hardware to get through the doors or walls.

That is also true
