U.S. Presidential Election

[lemons]

Doesn't happen without inside help surely?

[steviewevie]

Problem is they don't know who is armed, could really go off.

What can they do? Start shooting? One person gets shot and all law enforcement get torn limb from limb and it never ends - full on civil war. 

There is no answer for this - they almost need the civil war and have a clear winner because otherwise there will be no democracy ever again there. 

And this will spread to the rest of the world. I never thought I'd say it but it's good one party has a clear majority here...

There are people being hurt right now and being evacuated on stretchers. How do they stop this without more bloodshed?

Why won’t Trump call an emergency broadcast and appeal directly to the protesters to stand down? 
 

Because he wants this.

100%

His entire reelection campaign was essentially ‘if I lose, they cheated, so don’t let them’. This was always his plan.

Maybe the coup will work and by tomorrow Trump will be crowned king.

Jeeesus Christ. What a fucking mess.

How is Trump not legally responsible for this? If there are casualties from this, god forbid, surely he needs to stand trial for inciting it?

I know there are plenty of good people in that building but I just keep thinking about Nancy Pelosi. The hatred of her among Trump supporters is almost unmatched.

She’s already been evacuated

I’m wondering when the executives at BBC take the decision that world democracy being challenged ranks as more important than the Sewing Bee.

Actually..... maybe Sewing Bee is what we need.

The civil war never really ended.

I think it's Mike Pence that they've got it in for because he refused to act unconstitutionally.

Oh thank the lord. 

I've just seen the image of the stretchered person... someone on twitter pointed out that they appear to be wearing maternity pants 😔

[kalifire]

This isn't even about Trump anymore.

He’s apparently safe in the bunker below the building.

I'm so relieved. 🙄

Trump has tweeted telling them to act peacefully but not to disperse. 

[FloorFiller]

National Guard deployed and en route now apparently.

Terrible night to be stuck at work, I can only watch with half an eye between emails.  Reports now of the first shooting.
