Tear.

Gas.

Aside from any personal injury that may have occurred, I think the worst thing happening here will be an even more closed Capitol.

I can remember when you could drive up to the Capitol and park just a few feet from the steps. The building was wide open at off hours and you could just walk through unchallenged.

This is how it should be.

But now it will become even more of a fortress.

See Andrew Jackson and Presidents before him, opening up the "Peoples' House".

Anyone here think Trump did a good job with his message?

[Copper]

Anyone here unable to write Mr. Trump's message before seeing it?

It was Trump.

It was probably the best he could do.

Good job? That depends.

This sounds tin-foil-hat stuff to me....

Cunt.

From a CNN editorial: "This is exactly what the man wanted in the end: chaos, disruption, nihilism. This ugly, un-American, lawless, seditionist act of petulance and violence is his final outgoing message to America: "Go ahead, burn it down. See if I care."

No. It was resigned and lame. The only shred of human decency in it was he recognized that he had milked the crowd for all he could get and it hadn't worked.

He has sadly proven everything his detractors said about him.

There you go.

As I've said, many times, I had little respect for him as a man.

Today, I have little, if any, respect for him as a leader.

Ok. Wounding and killing people is really really bad.

Does this mean 89th doesn't go on his morning run?

Dana Perino just commented that she's been around a lot of protests in the Capitol building, and the police, etc, have always been prepared for things - most recently the BLM protests.

How is it that they were not prepared for this, she asks? They've known about this for weeks.

I thought it was nothingburgers all the way down.

That's obligatory. Just like every time the BLM mobs torched a building social media told you it was really a proud boy infiltrator.

Or not. Right now, I know nothing.

And neither do you.

Well, jon, who could have known something like this might happen! We've only had to put up with "stole the election" horseshit for months, this all just came out of the blue, really! You can't honestly tell me anyone anticipated something like this.

I know Trump's a goddamn joke. Please, though, feel free to respectfully disagree.

Looking for the silver lining - the mere fact that this happened will act as something of a pressure release valve for his side. Not a total one, obviously, but a little bit of catharsis.

Another silver lining, a lot more republican politicians are going to be able to disassociate now.

@jolly If he does, and as much as he’s trying to show love for his new football team...I’d recommend he leave the Viking hat at home for a few days.

Might cause a few unnecessary delays.
