This is why the whole "economy is doing well, he listens to people" etc. arguments were always bullshit. The man was always a threat to democracy and now it's too late.

America used to be held up as the leader of the free world, it's now nothing more than a banana republic. Authoritarian states like Russia and China must be rubbing their hands that the west's established order is falling apart and they didn't have to do anything but set up a few Facebook accounts.

The defense department is currently led by acting secretary Christopher Miller, who was appointed in November, after Donald Trump abruptly fired Mark Esper.

On the one hand this is worrying and a threat to democracy. On the other hand the I told you so satisfaction I'm going to get out of this is off the fucking scale!!

Peaceful protesters outside the Capital Buildings were dispersed with tear gas not long back so Trump could stage a photo op.

This picture was taken a couple of miles from the Capital Buildings, at the other end of Union Square, during the BLM protests.

The difference to what we have seen today is pretty stark.

I was literally about to post that photo. The whole scenario is expected. You won’t be asked to answer for it though.

We are the party of law and order?
They forced their way in you clown.

Of course when he says 'law and order', he means trying to overturn an election where one guy not only got 7 million more votes than the other, but won the electoral college by the same margin as Trump in 2016. Back then nobody stormed the Capitol and Biden refused to entertain the idea of a challenge.

Still, antifa, BLM...

There's definitely a lot of but Antifaing going on tonight.
This isn't the first time these far right fuck wits have stormed government buildings, I'm not sure Antifa or BLM did and if they did they'd have been met with severe force I'm sure.

Don't forget when the armed Covid deniers stormed the state capitol in Michigan

Virginia's governor sending in his state's national guard to assist
Seems that Trump is Commander in Chief of the DC National Guard so the Virginia National Guard has had to be activated instead as that's outside of his control. Seems to have done the trick as the DC National Guard has now been activated.

Media also reporting Trump is watching this on TV from the White House and refusing requests to issue a strong condemnation of the actions.

He has the opportunity to make a joint address with Biden to stop this nonsense. But that means acknowledging defeat which he will obviously never do.
