Wow. Good that the NG took the order. It could have said ‘Nope, you ain’t the president.’
Same as how the Air Force accepted the order from Cheney on 9/11 to shoot down suspected hijacked planes (although there is some controversy if the orders ever got to any pilots, and it was too late by then). I think if things get stressful enough some of the government and military will follow orders that they want to even if they fall into a gray zone of legality. Which is also concerning on the other hand...

Reminds me of when Haig announced himself in control when Reagan was shot.

He was basically snickered at, though.

What is actually hysterical (apart from a woman being shot and maybe losing her life) is that this is all a bunch of Trump's pussies can manage. Trump directs them down Pennsylvania Avenue and they take a stroll, have a personal tour around the building, sit behind Nancy's desk, get selfies and then walk off before anyone cross can turn up.

More of a Damp Squib (Squid probably) than a Mob.

Pathetic.
No. The thing is none of this was planned in any sort of way. Imagine if they had some semblance of a plan, they could have seriously made some damages.

Don’t understand who the pint sized Scot is.

I understood ‘powerhouse’ even though it was initially misspelled.
Butler is Scots, being pedantic over my spelling is the last refuge of a scoundrel or something.

Every centrist who ever says anything against Antifa confronting those lunatics should go to hell. And everyone who did before should apologize to all the brave protestants who risked so much confronting these people and the cops. This is what happens if you don't confront fascists.

It really speaks volumes about the police that nobody has been arrested for breaking and entering, destruction of property, or anything.

Will anything happen to these people, or the cops who are letting it happen? You can get maced and then thrown in jail for standing in a line peacefully protesting but as soon as you turn up with weapons to a government building, smash some cameras and break some windows you get to walk away.

Mainline or evangelicals?

Don’t think this will get anywhere, but the people who have enabled Trump’s constant lies & hate shouldn’t get a free pass & should be held accountable.

Pentagon says Pence, with Speaker Pelosi, Leader McConnell, Senator Schumer and Representative Hoyer initiated the call out of the National Guard, not Trump.

This isn’t a security breach, the security is in on it. They actively let these terrorists inside the capitol and stood aside.
