Why? Because they’re having to evacuate that too?

Trump about an hour ago:

“We’re going to walk down Pennsylvania Ave -- I love Pennsylvania Avenuw -- and we’re going to the Capitol,” the president said.

“We’re going to try and give our Republicans -- the weak ones because the strong ones don’t need any of our help -- we’re going to try and give them the kind of pride and boldness that they need to take back our country. So let’s walk down Pennsylvania Avenue.”

I was a bit behind on the barnstorming stuff as I'd been watching a stream of the Senate. Holy moly.

from where i'm sitting, it's a bunch of idiots standing on some stairs and waving flags. hardly the Battle of Gettysburg.

Can you imagine if those people standing in that lobby were BLM? Holy fuck! How have they been allowed to walk to the door of the senate while it’s in session unchallenged!!!!?

sounds about white.

Very good

does donald not have a role like boris where he attends the debates and speaks or is he more just there to sign things and annoy people as a figure head

send in the national guard

They knew this was gonna happen because the actual president was making the damn posters! How are there not unprecedented numbers of security there?

fuck negotiating with fascists. we used to shoot them, remember?

if i can shoot rabbits then i can shoot fascists.

debate suspended

It looks like the po po are in cahoots? Where’s the teargas and baton charges?

Debate suspended!!!? There’s a man with bison horns and a trump hat holding a Dixie standard right outside the door and apparently nobody gives a fuck!

donald jr announces it's the trump party now not the republican's party

it's a trump family coup

yo wtf

A congressional reporter said one protester was shooting into the House chamber, as police officers tried to barricade the door with guns drawn.

on the Guardian live page now

That rave in France that was shut down looked bigger than this. What an embarrassment. This is white privilege.

They’re in the chamber. One is up on the dais yelling “Trump won that election!” This is insane

ISIS must be kicking themselves that they never thought of walking through the front door.

a state capitol has been invaded by protestors

The apparent lack of security/ resistance is well sus.

only Tom Cruise can solve this now.

and the obama twitter account, god i miss obama

Let's hope they clear the tourists out soon without anyone getting injured.

And that they do throw the book at Trump. The 'protesters' will undoubtedly feel the full force of the law, and it would be the worst look if he got off scot-free.
