National Guard seemed to be less fascist during the BLM protests than the police.  Hopefully my impression was not wrong, and that it continues to be this way.

This is a tweet that would be interesting evidence in a trial for insurrection or treason.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

I really didn't believe the coup was actually going to happen.

It's not.

These clowns are going to break some shit then leave.

:blink:

This is not okay. This isn't something mild. This is.... this is a coup.
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

Virginia NG coming to the aid of Congress because Donald won't allow the DC Guard to be activated.

Well I'll be damned. After all this time, Virginia troops are going to take over the capitol and force a yankee president from the white house.

Incidentally, unless Trump is removed from office right now, he still has two weeks to burn the world.

I'm a little surprised there are no reports of journalists from the fake news media being attacked or even verbally abused.

1 CNN reporter & 1 NBC reporter said they were surrounded once people realized who they were. Saw it on the air.

I also just saw a CBC reporter getting verbally abused while making her report

From WaPo:

QuoteEntire D.C. National Guard to be activated following breach of Capitol
By Dan Lamothe
The entire D.C. National Guard will be activated within hours, putting 1,100 guardsmen on duty after protesters supporting outgoing President Donald Trump breached the Capitol.

The rapid expansion of military involvement came after Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D) requested that guardsmen already on duty be sent to the Capitol, said the defense official and a District official, speaking on the condition of anonymity due the sensitivity of the issue.

Defense officials, who have been resistant to getting dragged into politics, initially offered instead to replace police in other capacity, allowing more law enforcement to respond at the Capitol, the defense official said.

Before Wednesday afternoon, the Pentagon had sought to keep the military response to pro-Trump protests small, still smarting from outcry to a much larger military response in June to protests in the District following the police killing of George Floyd. Defense officials had activated 340 D.C. guardsmen, with 170 on duty at a time.


Yes, but on whose side?

If history is a guide, they will be on the side promising the biggest donative.

That guy seems to be a journalist of some stripe, I think I saw other tweets by him covering the situation.

The following pic is from Pelosi's office, apparently:

Reports that shots have been fired
Same shots that (probably) killed that woman?  Or different shots?

The whole Capitol will need to be disinfected for covid after this.
