Protestors Storming Capital

Believe it or not, this is happening now. Protestors are also scaling scaffolding on the Capital building set up for the inauguration. 

Guns are banned in DC, but you can't tell me there aren't guns in a lot of the backpacks these rioters are wearing.

It was Trump who fired these people up today, who said there would be a march on Congress. He called for this. He called for an insurrection. 

I suspect all of Congress will be evacuated before the day is through.

Nothing to do with Trump of course. Remember when he was asked to condemn the proud boys and he said stand down and stand by like he was talking to his own personal militia? They even had T-shirts printed with it as a slogan. He is responsible for this and he will be loving it.

Given his speech today, when he called for a march on Congress, he should be prosecuted for inciting a riot.

(He said he would lead the march, but of course he's back to hiding.)

And someone was shot, I read.

Along with Guiliani who called today for "trial by combat"

Am I reading this right?

Donald Trump sent a mob to Capitol Hill to stop the Electoral College count?

That is just the most insane, evil phrase I can imagine. Holy hell.

Yes. Sadly, infuriatingly, yes.

David,
How is this being reported in the MSM and on Fox News and its ilk? I found an opinion piece by Tucker Carlson who just blamed everyone else apart from Fox News and T****. Quite despicable. Surely there needs to be consequences otherwise this will repeat. I get the feeling (probably from your comments!) that Biden does not want to go down the road of prosecuting these deplorables so are there other options?

Only a corrupt president would put his finger on the scales of justice. I hope you are wrong about this.
