There's going to be some important documents and hard drives missing. There will certainly have been agents of various other countries present.
But it's been reported that the electoral vote certificates were carried out of the building by quick thinking Capitol Hill staffers, so at least there's that.
I'm reminded of the images of Chile, 11 Sept 1973. It took several months to complete the coup. In this modern age, who knows. Do you think they're actually done? Is trump done? is this a coup or the prelude to one?

Who knows, indeed. Mr Biden and Ms Harris will certainly have to work hard to drain the swamp...
Meanwhile, Trump continues to assert that he's the victim here: "These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away."
Don't his supporters ever ask how he knows he won when all the evidence, the vote counts and re-counts, courts and Republican election officials say otherwise?
The woman who was shot in the US Capitol has died.
Sad news, especially for her family.
Even if she was a invader in behalf of trump, she paid a high price. And if a staffer who had no choice, even more sympathy.

Before the report of the ieds, I was going to comment on the non-barking dogs around in the footage. By comparison with, for example, our Poll tax demos. The people's flags were on poles which mostly were too flimsy to be used as weapons (I saw one as thick as a broom handle). No-one tried to pull down and use the scaffold poles as weapons. And, given that this is the States, and not Trafalgar Square, I didn't see any of the Trumpists with guns.
The whole thing was shocking, but it wasn't as shocking as it might have been.

And yes, this was a fucking coup attempt, carried out by assholes with shit for brains and apparently no fucking plan for what happened next. Shit for brains selfie taking treasonweasels.

It does appear to be an attempted coup ...
Yes, which rather begs the question as to what Trump thought he might achieve for himself by rallying the bully-boys? In the end, nothing - except the death of a citizen, and a further loss of face for him...

Fuck that.
A woman died. Murdered. In the Capitol.
Two shots to the chest.
Seriously. It was shocking. It continues to be shocking. If you didn't see guns, you weren't looking at the right photos. And I can guarantee you, even if I hadn't seen the photos, there were guns. Lots of them.

We’re gonna need a bigger jail.
Profanity and insults ... How charming ...
What do they say about YOUR "brain" ... ???
LC is quite capable of speaking up for herself, and I hope she does!
But if you can't find more to be legitimately upset about in the US today than profanity and insults about what's going on DC, perhaps you're not paying attention.
This is Purgatory. Please remember that personal attacks are out of place here - even in the current very stressful situation. Hell and it’s threads are available if needed.

"Treason" is defined in the Constitution as giving aid/comfort to the enemies of the United States in time of war ...
"Sedition," OTOH is attempting an illegal overthrow of the government ...
Now that the dust seems to be beginning to settle, what disturbs me the most is the number of Repugnican congresspeople saying things like, "Yes, it was dreadful, but we must persevere with our duty to expose fraud in our elections."
I think that, under the circumstances (unprecedented insurrection) in what claims to be a light unto the world, anger peppered with profanity is a very minor pecadillo. Nice loss of the the plot @Fr Teilhard . Or you couldn't resist a cheap shot even in this context. Shall we adjourn to Hell?

They've got Joe Biden, the upcoming president, saying that the storming of the USA capitol building and all of the angry mob is "not who we are". But is it true? Almost half of "who we are". I'm not sure, but do you think that having a polite person in charge is enough to fix up things? Don't think there's healing until the angry mob is through.
Notwithstanding that there's wondering if the rioting and storming is finished.

This mob is a very very tiny percentage of the population. Should be easily dealt with.

sedition

“US officials have announced that the Capitol Building is now secure.
Reporters inside the Capitol say lawmakers applauded as the Sergeant at Arms conveyed the news.”
OTOH They had invited someone on who blamed it all on 'campus cancel culture', so balance has been maintained.
Who knows, indeed. Mr Biden and Ms Harris will certainly have to work hard to drain the swamp...
God receive her soul.
A tragedy for her, and for her family, whatever the circumstances.
Even if she was a invader in behalf of trump, she paid a high price. And if a staffer who had no choice, even more sympathy.
No. It would drop him over the Bering Sea.
DUH!!!

Shocking enough, I would have thought.

LOL ...
Maybe you can try expressing yourself without the foul language ...
Would your mother be proud ... ???
When I breathe out, I breathe out love.
Be safe, shipmates. This will be over soon.
I wish so ...
But the Red Hat Brown Shirts are not going to just drift quietly away ...
If anything, they will be more fired up than ever ...

The treason is by Trump.
Anyone seen the multiply excellent Bushwick?

All this violence for the sake of one man's ambition. A patriot would have conceded in November
Does that mean he won't be able to tweet? He'll go bonkers...
O wait...
My apologies.
Point taken. The man's a traitor.
Notwithstanding that there's wondering if the rioting and storming is finished.
Trump is a malignant narcissist, a classic psychopath ...
