The ongoing Trump saga.

Glued to this. When our asda delivery driver arrived, (we often chat) he asked if they'd set fire to the Capitol yet. This is how far the news has spread - he's at work, driving and delivering and he is still following it.

BLM flag wavers would be likely ordered shot with no questions asked.
Rattlesnake flags are left alone, it seems.😐

Not quite ushering them in. Barriers had already been breached on the sides.
It was a choice not to stop them, while people inside were being taken to safety.

Lack of preparation for this, though, for sure.

Tear gas now.

Police ushering protestors IN.

There needs to be questions answered about how lax this all was

And it's not over yet.

Bloody hell.

Also 'flash bangs'.

CNN stating that capital police were overwhelmed and so took the tactical decision to protect and evacuate those within capital buildings and didn't have enough Police left to guard the building itself.

DD (the Twitter literate one) says Mike Pence has unfollowed Trump and changed his cover pic to one of Biden and Harris.

And here's Capitol Police taking selfies with protestors inside the Capitol building.

WTF

My god. I'm more shocked by this than anything I've seen in years. On top of covid, I truly feel like the world as I know it is disintegrating.
Trump should be arrested for inciting this and allowing it to happen.

Scary how dangerous one person can be. Even in a democracy.

Amazing statement by the Secretary of Defense.

Note whom Secretary Miller and Chairman Milley did NOT speak to: President Trump.

We have had something close to the de facto invoking of the 25th amendment.

Check out Pence twitter account

Thank you Washington, I didn't think anything in the world would make me feel grateful for being locked down in the collective ghost town that is the UK.

Stay safe US.

Apparently the democrats are drafting papers to have Trump impeached. The sooner he's gone, the better.

Trump is a deluded, narcissistic psychopath who seems to imagine that his supporters can take power by force then keep him installed as their heroic leader. Biden's speech came across as the voice of reason.

He’s still following Trump but she’s right, they’re his cover photo now. Quite a statement!

They are being 'asked' to leave and it looks like they are except for the sad little hardcore.

Whoa. He still follows Trump but the cover photo is legit.

Hes unfollowed Trump and has an interesting banner photo.

I can't look away from the news. This is insane, but also not remotely surprising.

WOW!

Looks like he still follows Trump to me.
