    Did you see the other angle from NBC? The police weren't overrun. They let them in.

    DC mayor press conference confirmed that the terrorists used some sort of pepper spray on police as they stormed the Capitol.

    I love it! IMO we should reword it a bit and post it in reply to every one of oldfella's posts:

    "This claim that Biden will turn the U.S. into Somalia is stupid and without validity, and this message is the only rational response. But thanks for playing."

    Except you have an absurd gun culture which has led to this, not sure how much proof you need.

    Has she valiantly fought any of the terrorists off or is it just law enforcement risking their lives?

    Thought not. So why is she armed again?

    Ah, but was it the tear gas type of pepper spray or the totally OK to use it Bill Barr said so type?

    That's just stupid.

    Pence needs to grow a spine, show Trump he isn't a coward and invoke the 25th.

    Canada stands ready with the combined might of our military!

    Okay, in all seriousness:

    There needs to be a reckoning.

    Donald J. Trump, his staff, his cabinet, and the senators and representatives who enabled this shameful insurrection need to be criminally charged.

    Alas, I don't think it's going to happen. :sigh:

    Remember when a handful of ladies got arrested for reading the Constitution out loud in the Capitol?

    I stand corrected.

    With the Democrats now taking control of the Senate, if an emergency session of Congress is called (once order is restored) it's possible they could get the impeachment through lickety-split. Assuming enough Republican senators grow a spine.

    Still, it would be easier for Pence to invoke the 25th.

    Takes ⅔ to convict. Still not sure there are 67 votes. Also Ossoff and Warnock won't take their seats until the elections are certified.

    Perhaps at this juncture they should all be doing something more pressing than altering Twitter accounts?
