This was not a today thing. This was a months in the works thing.

Mob terrorism, with every tool from Capone to 9/11 available to be arrayed against it.

Smart Australians can be progressive Democrats. Are you not trying hard enough or just not smart?

Even longer given who the modern Republican Party has liked to play footsie with.

I think today was a horrible example of law enforcement.

Nothing at all wrong with the protest itself.  Those that went too far deserved for the law to come down on them.  But it sure seemed like the Red Sea did part for some reason.  Awaiting answers.  Mayor was understandably non committal as she tries to sort things out.  But she bears a bit more responsibility than she is taking.  (Deniro voice) - "a little bit, yeah..."

Nope.

Mayor requested National Guard yesterday

Capitol building is federal jurisdiction therefore responsibility of Capitol Police.

Metro PD has gone in and swept the rioters out of Capitol.

Do you know what FEDERAL means?

It was your people - the venerable JAKE TAPPER  to be specific - that were all over the Mayor.

DC wasnt ready.  Funny.

Smart Australians leave Australia. Stupid ones stay in their mom's basement, listening to idiot #1 radio host.

She requested the NG yesterday.

As for "nothing at all wrong with the protest itself," where do you think "too far starts?!"

President Bush releases statement on 'Insurrection at the Capitol'

Former President George W. Bush released a statement on what he called an "insurrection" at the U.S. Capitol, calling it "a sickening and heartbreaking sight."

"This is how election results are disputed in a banana republic – not our democratic republic. I am appalled by the reckless behavior of some political leaders since the election and by the lack of respect shown today for our institutions, our traditions, and our law enforcement," Bush said.

"The violent assault on the Capitol – and disruption of a Constitutionally-mandated meeting of Congress – was undertaken by people whose passions have been inflamed by falsehoods and false hopes. Insurrection could do grave damage to our Nation and reputation. In the United States of America, it is the fundamental responsibility of every patriotic citizen to support the rule of law. To those who are disappointed in the results of the election: Our country is more important than the politics of the moment. Let the officials elected by the people fulfill their duties and represent our voices in peace and safety," Bush continued.

He did not mention President Trump by name.

Passing the barricade.

There just wasn't enough force to stop these unlawfuls

I know you want someone to defend those who broke into the Capitol.  Wont find it here.

Is there some, "I didnt know you couldnt go in" to it?  For those that JUST went in.  I dont know.  What's the signage?

Trump defends those who stormed the Capitol.

"These are the things and events that (COULD) happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long."



Wow.

Pretty much summed it up.

I added the COULD, since people have free will.  DT isnt responsible for any of them.
