If you can, tune in to C-SPAN.

Yes. A minority of power hungry would-be dictators are trying to destroy one of the greatest democracies in the world live on TV.

History in the making, indeed.

14th amendment. Time to do some purging.

 

 

Section 3. No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may, by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

So is this the moment America is great again?

IIRC Westerley has kept telling us Trump is irrelevant and his attempts at insurrection weren't even worth talking about - so I'm sure this is just a lot of fuss about nothing:p

If so, I hope it was as Lindsey Graham said.

“If you killed Ted Cruz on the floor of the Senate, and the trial was in the Senate, nobody would convict you,”

I'd settle for Stephen Miller.

When was the last time the Capitol was stormed?  1814?

Maybe, but this is a much more 1933 vibe.

 

BBC reporting it's confirmed that shots have been fired inside the building, and have shown photos of the legislative chamber door barricaded from the inside with multiple guards pointing their guns at the door and the protesters on the other side. I keep remembering the Rs who (for some reason) complained that Obama's presidency had made America a global laughing stock, and Trump would bring them respect again. Well guess what the globe is thinking now!

Rioters have been cleared from the Senate

From CNN's Ted Barrett, Ali Zaslav and Manu Raju

The Senate floor has been cleared of rioters, and an officer told CNN that they have successfully squeezed them away from the Senate wing of the building and towards the Rotunda, and they are removing them out the East and West doors of the Capitol.

Things appear to be calm on the Senate side.

It's uncertain what the situation is in the House.

Hopefully, the House will be cleared soon too.
