Look at the timeline I posted right above your post. In 1968 there was basically not a moment to catch your breath. The hits just kept coming.
If we are headed for a year like that... holy hell.

Capitol police letting insurrectionists through has a feel of Department of War personnel moving arms to Confederates.
Hypothetically, if God Emperor declares martial law tomorrow, do you think the DoD will go along with it? The slow response from them today doesn’t bespoke confidence.
Totally agree on how much shit occurred in ‘68. But was there an effective political insurgency in 1968 or immediate preceding years? Discord, there was plenty, but insurgency?
Apparently the slow response was because they were acting without any guidance from the actual Commander in Chief.
Judging by reports, the National Guard was mobilized by a group of people NOT including the President.
Well, they never actually stormed the seat of government, if that’s what you’re asking.
Josh Hawley is a piece of absolute sh*t. Go f*ck yourself and your deliberately incoherent pretend arguments about confidence in elections.
Course not. But a political insurgency, what was going to transpire in full today if not for the riots? I can’t recall one around then.
Multiple resignations beginning in the White House.
What comes to mind for me are the 50 days of riots in over 100 major American cities after MLK was assassinated. Dozens dead, thousands wounded, tens of thousands arrested.
Again, granted, none directly targeted the Capitol Building.
Good
Mitt really needs to get those sides trimmed. Shades of Back to the Future.
I can totally get what you were saying. It will be interesting to compare the respective effects of each time against the resiliency of the government.
If we get a musical as fun as Hair I might be able to accept a little more turmoil.
I do love a good musical

Romney is always so impressive. Shame he didn't get to be the Republican president instead of the orange lunatic
I know he has hated Trump forever, but he didn't hold back one bit today

Matt Gaetz FL is blaming antifa. There is no hope.
If there was anything resembling karma, Matt Gaettz wouldn't last past the next minute on this earth. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as karma. Feckin cnut!
Crisis actors for the deep state
Dont worry. They will have forgotten all about it again a few weeks from now.
At least it's clear that Trump only has 6 supporters in Senate. Lines are drawn more clearly now.
Let's see how House shakes out.

Looking likely that it'll be greater than 100.
He’ll have 100+. The nature of the house makes it waaaay more extreme.
Hello Congresswoman Mace...and you're single?
@Carolina Red, you’ve been holding back.
Wait...she just said she supports Trump and thinks there was voting issues. Do not want.
Right? I think as punishment he needs to write his Congresswoman on my behalf.
I can look past those flaws.
You're doing it wrong.
I am convinced I can bring her back from the dark side.
We know
Who is the democrat who voted yes in the house?

It is oddly reassuring just watching the CSPAN vote screen. Some normalcy.
Just watched the L Graham speech. What a slipppery eel indeed. Holier than thou all of the sudden.
