I can't say this is surprising. It is not. They're just going to run out the clock.

Gonna need someone else that's far more trustworthy than Seth "Game Theory" Abramson to corroborate that Proud Boys were the ones who pushed past the barriers and also had coordinated identifiers. EDIT: Here's where that's revealed: Also, those two tweets are saying things but also heavily implying that there is a connection, though he does not come out and say it. He's leaving room for when this turns out to not be true. Like I said. I need more than Abramson trying to get attention for me to buy that Trump sanctioned the Proud Boys to do this.

Was Namlas a Nazi?

Completely unsurprising. Deplatforming (?) Trump from Twitter will be one of the only safeguards we as a country get.

Look, I'm sure we've all evaded a forum ban or two in our lives. Trump's just catching up to us.

Also, Impeachment requires every democrat + 17 republicans to convict.

It feels like Trump's given up at this point. We'll see if he stokes the fires for Inauguration Day and after... Congress needs to act to make sure he cannot run for President again.

"The Storm" Seriously, though... the info bar on Wikipedia may not last long, but when I checked the page just now it showed this: Seeing the same conflict info bar template with the two opposing sides is... this hits home just how significant Wednesday was.

He's running.

So it was a bioterrorism attack!

Hope that Emmy was worth it.

We should all be relentlessly dragging Lopez on Twitter, but it really only reinforces his smug selfishness. He's going to be the next Glenn Greenwald/Andrew Sullivan/Matt Yglessias.

This is a good safeguard, if it can be undertaken.

I'm dying to know where the Football is right now.

Is it a coup if there's a constitutional mechanism, just no paperwork?

Joe Biden is NOT equipped to deal with the aftermath of today.

Fort Bragg is nowhere near DC. Maybe this is the same thing, but it isn't going to be soon that they arrive, if that's even where they're headed.

In the next few weeks, we'll find out just how many armed fascists this country has in it.

Someone inside the chamber (a guard or capitol police) shot the fascist invader

Here's video of the fascist being shot outside the Congressional chamber:

At this point, the army needs to be called in and a full scale crackdown on right wing extremists needs to be undertaken. But this is the first day of the rest of the country's downfall.

OH BAH GAWD LOOK WHO SHOWED UP OUTSIDE THE CAPITOL ON A TANK

Happened a few times across Europe in 1990 or so.
