Mob got into capitol building.

They approached senate chambers.

Most of Congress has seemingly been evacuated.

Emerging reports of a woman being shot near/at entrance of Senate chambers by security.

DoD apparently denied request to activate National Guard.

Looks like Riot police have been on the scene for a bit now

Meme edit: Simpsons get it right again with fall of democracy and war on US soil in January 2021

Making MIKE FUCKING PENCE look like a voice of reason

Trump rally that started an hour and a half late - they played the same seven or eight 70s and 80s songs on repeat until he showed up.

He rambled for like 40 minutes, alternating between topics like how he did a lot for the troops and how we should have committed war crimes in Iraq, and disproven allegations of voter fraud with a bunch of numbers being thrown around about specific counties and states.

Then he told the crowd to go march on the Capitol building and they did.

Cops just stand there letting terrorists do whatever they want.

There was a bomb threat so they started to evacuate the capitol building. At some point Pence was evacuated. At some point there were reports of tear gas being deployed (or possibly being prepared for deployment) and congresspeople being told to put on gas masks.

Terrorists broke in. Reports of gun fire on the senate floor. Terrorists start chanting shit about trump being the legitimate president. Terrorists going through offices of congresspeople and gaining unauthorized access to their computer systems.

Cops don't really do anything. One terrorist was shot. National Guard was requested, request was denied, finally request was approved so elements of the NG are deploying to DC.

Trump playing both sides at this point since he was calling for his supporters to oppose the illegitimate vote and illegitimate president elect, and calls on them to respect the police, and calls for peace and shit.

The election certification process has been halted. Made it through two states, got stuck on Arizona because an Arizona Rep and Ted Cruz of Texas objected to it, and then all the protesting and shit happened and everyone went on lockdown so it had to stop. So we're at Biden - 0; Trump - 12... -_-
