I guess the US has finally joined the club of **** hole nations that Trump mentioned a while back. Can we at least chair the club, from a makeshift toilet?

Mike Pence tweets
@Mike_Pence Peaceful protest is the right of every American but this attack on our Capitol will not be tolerated and those involved will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. |

They are the crazies. they have driven the government of the United States out of the Capitol and are occupying it.
Your government is powerless to stop them it seems and they are doing it with the encouragement of the President. he is the one that told them to go up to the Capitol and make their feelings known and 'stop the steal' |

I'm guessing Giuliani's "let’s have trial by combat!" didn't help things any either.

Twitter affixed a label to Trump's latest tweet saying it "can't be replied to, Retweeted, or liked due to a risk of violence."

The Gentlemen in my avatar said in 1861 "There are but two parties now; Patriots and Traitors".
Time for many in the GOP to decide which they are. I saw footage of the equestrian statue of General Grant in from of the Capitol being surrounded by traitors. I could almost see the ghost of Grant trying to posses the statue, drew his sabre, and charge the bastards. |

Pence has unfollowed Trump and put Biden-Harris as his banner on Twitter.
Has a Vice-President ever left their position before the transition has taken place? |

For anyone who might think DC's gun control laws are too strict, I'd like to ask- how do you think all this would have played out today if these rioters had had weapons with them this time? Do you think it would have been a bunch of good guys with guns stopping the bad guys with guns, but no way to tell the difference between the two?

David Cicilline Congressman for Rhode Island’s 1st District tweeted
@davidcicilline Vice President Pence can help put down this attempted coup if he wants to. I’m circulating a letter urging him to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office. If he doesn’t, then Congress should go ahead and impeach the President. |

Ilhan Omar tweets
@IlhanMN Rest assured, this day will not end without us finishing the work Congress is supposed to carry out. We will not let our Constitution be trampled on by a mob and threaten by a tyrant. Democracy will prevail. I am drawing up Articles of Impeachment. Donald J. Trump should be impeached by the House of Representatives & removed from office by the United States Senate. We can’t allow him to remain in office, it’s a matter of preserving our Republic and we need to fulfill our oath. |

A reminder that our own UK Foreign Secretary was so desperate not to offend Trump he wouldn’t even say all votes should be counted in a democratic election.

i think they could probably get the votes to impeach after this week.
i'm sure there was a couple of GOP congressmen that thought that was awesome and great for the brand, but i'm sure there were plenty that were legitimately afraid. trump's nonsense is getting pretty close to home for them |
