    I am, and it is.

    CNN reporting that protestors have breached the Capitol itself and are inside the building.

    Meanwhile, OPK's link to the official Georgia SOS site says 100% in. Ossoff wins by 0.40%, so within the recount range. However, keep your grains of salt out, more are sure to trickle in.

    Trump's speech told the crowd to march on the Capitol. They have, and now they've breached the Capitol itself, with "protestors" in the building outside the Senate.

    I've been burned too many times to think that Trump will suffer any consequences for inciting this, but this is a hell of a last line Donald's crossed. And one he should be held responsible for.

    Completely agree. People being interviewed are saying clearly that they are marching on Trump’s orders.

    There should be 0 surprise about this. At all.

    Meanwhile, he’s savaging Pence on Twitter.

    I'm not surprised. I'm infuriated. I'm despondent. I'm terrified.

    But I'm not surprised.

    So, how close are we to being a third world country politically?

    Is Merrick Garland that man? I honestly don't know.

    The Capitol police can't stop protesters from entering the Capitol?? What are they there for?

    This is what happens when our leaders try to cash in on wild conspiracy theories when they should be standing up for facts and evidence.

    Remember when someone here said there would be a peaceful transfer of power, and that the biggest threat to a peaceful transfer of power would be if Trump won legitimately? Yeah, good call.

    This is literally an attempt at a coup in the United States (as described with that word by, e.g., Republican congressman Adam Kinzinger and CNN).

    I just turned this in and this is bad. Like... Real bad.

    They obviously weren't prepared for this, but I suspect the Capital Police would have been incapable of managing this on their own with any preparation. Will be interesting to see what other agencies are able to provide support.

    Senate is being evacuated.
    Q "Why do you like Duke, you didn't even go there." A "Because my art school didn't have a basketball team."

    I would assume they're doing everything they can to de-escalate and they have plenty of force if need to use it.

    When was the last time Capitol Hill was under threat of attack and considered a target like this? 9/11 is the only thing that comes to mind in the last 2 decades.
