Is there a word for being depressed and furious at the same time? Depression is just anger focused inward.

Those are crazy pictures. I think I'll go play some music.
Bruce, I didn't know you'd taken up sewing. Handy skill, that.

Curfew begins in 75 minutes. Then the fireworks will really start. I heard that an IED was retrieved somewhere on the Capitol grounds. Two known explosive devices and one death. The woman who was shot died. There were lots of guns inside the building. There was a device disarmed at RNC headquarters and possibly one at the DNC.

If these protesters had been BLM, they would have been gassed and gunned down well before they got close the Senate doors. Of that there is no doubt.
Once the dust settles, there has to be a house cleaning within the Capital Police. Every last one needs to be fired. Replaced. Those ineffectual fucks ran from the mob and allowed it to storm the Senate. If that mob had been just a little more organized, they could have killed enough Senators and Representatives to completely derail the entire government, leaving Trump in complete charge for how long? What the hell was going on with the Capital Police?
BLM would have been shot down like dogs if they had tried this. Trump's troops were given a free pass, allowed to run free within the Senate Chambers. I don't even like BLM, but it obvious there is big difference in who does what and what happens if they do.

Y'all know where I stand, but Trump did instruct his fan boys 'to go home, go home in peace.' There ya go. After saying "I love you", and "you are special people".

"I feel your pain, your anguish. Evil people stole the election, stole your country from you. Evil people rigged the election and stole it from me, an election I won in a landslide. A stolen, rigged election stolen and rigged by evil people. Stolen, Stolen, Stolen. Evil, Evil, Evil people. Stealing your country. Now, go home."

George Bush has issued a statement, but being for the rule of law, acknowledging the voting process and the authority of state and federal courts, he is now considered a liberal by those who seem to believe that they are true republicans, such as Bruce and Newsmax. McConnell and Pence seems to be becoming liberals too.

Well, it appears that the interior of the Capitol is now secure, and there is every indication that the electoral confirmation will continue tonight, as it must.

I would note that neither of North Dakota's Senators or their one Representative, Republicans all, signed on to the electoral rejection bullshit. Crammer, easily the most conservative of the bunch and a Trump buddy of sorts said the people have spoken, the states have certified, our constitutional job is simple, Biden won and we need to say so.
He surprised me.
(the other one, Hoven, is decent and reasonable fellow. Him I like.

Oregon's lone Republican legislator, Cliff Bentz, indicated that he would join the electoral rejection bullshit, but I wonder if he changed his vote in light of the Trump parade.

Are people like Cruz still planning on making the electoral vote count a PTA? It would be crazy if they did.

Mark my words, Trump will proclaim that the protesters were actually antifa posing as his supporters. That notion has already appeared--a friend posted on FB that his brother insists that Antifa are there, identifiable by their backwards red MAGA caps. Nothing we can make up can keep up with the crazy spontaneously generated by this subculture. Trump doesn't have to do much more than wind it up and point it somewhere.
