I live practically across the water from the World Trade Center. I was in high school on 9/11, we could see the buildings from the top of our school. The first plane flew directly over my dad's car as it was getting low while he was on his way to work.
This is up there with that feeling.
These are terrorists.
same.
My wife texted me to say my son wanted to take the rest of the day off because of the protests in DC. This was around 1030, I think? Before shit got real. I was like 'you can go to school and do this at the same time like everyone else' and now? I don't know what to tell him. I know that no one else in the classes will be paying attention so I don't know anymore.
What the.... I have no words.
I feel sick.
Trump needs to be removed now!
WOOOOOW.
Local news reporting that the Kansas State capital has been breached by Trump Supporters.
-EDIT
All of these Trump Supporters literally posing for photos of them stealing shit from the Capital are all 10000000% eligible for arrest and prosecution at a later date right?
From White House Press Muppet Kayleigh McEnany:
At President @realDonaldTrump ’s direction, the National Guard is on the way along with other federal protective services.
We reiterate President Trump’s call against violence and to remain peaceful.
Of course he incites it, now he wants to take credit for sending assistance...
Absolutely nauseating scene. The way these scumbags are coddled and essentially left to have their run of the place, versus the brutal excessive force we have seen exerted time and time again against left wing protests...a lot of the horrible truths that we already knew are being laid out undeniably, in broad daylight. Don't know what else to say. To quote Trent back when Bush was reelected in 2004, "it's a sad and shameful day to be an American."

In another lifetime, I worked on Capitol Hill. This makes my blood run so cold. I have no words.
yeah, she deleted it real quick. too bad people are faster than she is.

"This is how the world ends. Not with a bang but with a Twitter."
The cops are at least sympathetic if not totally on board with these terrorists.
These motherfuckers are taking selfies!
I’m disgusted. Trump, Hawley and Cruz should resign and face charges. Every member of Congress that said they’d object today should resign or not be seated. Sedition has consequences.
The fact that Josh Hawley represents the fucking shithole place where I live, and he's one of the main reasons for this happening makes my fucking blood boil. This is fucking repulsive.
All of our friends from around the world, how are you guys perceiving this? I think all of us here in America would genuinely love to hear how the rest of the world is viewing this right now. I feel so utterly fucking ashamed right now.
I'm not one to block and delete people based off of some political differences, but I literally have followers (Who I know personally) encouraging this behavior and saying to "Hold the line boys." I'm absolutely disgusted...
I just... go watch his Twitter video. He makes sure to say (twice) it was stolen.
Amidst all the chaos, Huffington Post is reporting that we have officially retaken control of the senate with Ossoff securing victory in his run-off.
So that's at least a nice bit of comfort among all of this nonsense.
How low will you go, US of A?
To tell you the truth, I was expecting similar shit to happen during your elections and was pleasantly surprised to see nothing of the sort happened. I guess they were still "standing back and standing by". This looks horrible and all responsibility lies with Trump and his supporters/enablers in office. Absolutely crazy.
