I'm sorry, askye, I hope you can get that sorted out relatively easily
We use the latest in scientific technology and state-of-the-art weaponry and you, if I understand correctly, poke them with a sharp stick.

What is even happening?
JZ, I had to turn it off about 12:30am our time. I fell asleep watching The West Wing. Jimmy Smits took office. It was nice to wake up this morning and see the tide had turned.
Just for the hell of it, FCM: Trump convicted of felony election fraud; internecine GOP civil war; Governor Stacy Abrams.
Exactly in that order, billytea.
F: the thought of Trump being convicted of felony election fraud gets me hot and bothered
C: I want the internecine GOP civil war to be cancelled on account of all factions dropping off the face of the earth
M: Governor Stacey Abrams (or whatever job she would like, including Queen of the Whole Wide World)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Trump demonstrators have breeched the Capitol building and are trying to occupy it, overrunning Federal police. It's a full on melee. They went through four layers of security fence.
Get out the rubber bullets.

Our wings are not tired
Holy crap!

Imagine if a Black Lives Matter protest had breached four layers of security fence at the Capitol. People couldn't march peaceably by LaFayette Park this summer, without being tear gassed.
Donald Trump is evil incarnate, and the Republican Senators supporting his sedition are the most un-American thugs I hope I will ever see in my life.

I would have guessed I couldn't be shocked by anything these guys would do anymore but I guess I still can be. Not so much that they do it as that they get away with it. And even that I know I shoudn't be shocked but it's a visceral thing.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
They need a firm, immediate, forceful response. Like...right now.
Some of these yahoos have guns.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
The Senate and House have both recessed, suspending the debate today.
Pence got rushed out. Trump is in his bunker. Undoubtedly absolutely gleeful.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
My parents are safely outside the Beltway, but my in-laws live in Arlington within walking distance of the Capitol. They aren't likely to be in any real danger from inside their condo development across the river from where the protests are happening, but watching this happen is completely fucking terrifying.
