There is insanity happening in Washington DC this afternoon. Insane Trump supporters were protesting outside Congress and THEN broke into the Capitol building. Members of Congress have been evacuated. VP Pence was evacuated. These nuts have taken over some of the building. The police and law enforcement have been outnumbered. So shameful. These people are disgusting.

Sounds Crazy! Times like this I wish I had live tv so I can see what's happening. I have ordered an antenna for my TV and hopefully it will be able to bring in local channels. Right now all I have is streaming services like Hulu and Netflix. Thanks again for the update.

It is embarrassing rally and of course Trump being Trump does next to nothing to calm the situation. Every lunatic right winger the US is probably there.

The police discovered a vehicle that was filled with artillery and dangerous weapons.

@Shiva49 Trump does have a good grip on his supporters but it's no longer very useful. He lost big in Georgia (It was close but it's part of a big trend). That's why yesterday, a lot of his long time supporters denounced him. He is finished.

There is saying - one can wake up a sleeping person but not easy when someone pretends to sleep. I think Trump has a vice grip on his supporters. I think of Pied Piper of Hamelin. ,

Trump should be jailed right now. This is just beyond ugly. I hope it is not civil war.

What a total embarrassment for many of us, who habitually conduct ourselves as adults!

We got this news over here late at night and I thought what is this some kind of film? Could not believe it for a few moments so sorry about the said person who lost their life.

I had planned to stay away from news this evening and get some work done, but it doesn't work. Have to check all the time. It's crazy.

So bad it all happens in America. Trump must have decided to cling on to power come what may. Hope he won't succeed.

That is too bad. Things can only get silent from here and then hopefully begin to rebuild.

This was a terrible thing that happened, and many need to be held responsible. And I think they will be. But also yesterday we had two new senators elected in Georgia which gives the Democrats control of the Senate. And last night Joe Biden's election was certified by both houses of Congress. In thirteen days we'll have a new President. And Donald Trump's Twitter account was blocked.

The entire world looked up to America as the land of democracy and freedom. It fought against tyrants and despots but then what a fall - unbelievable. I think it is the nadir one country can sink to with some not able to accept a basic reality. Our species is the only one which can self-destruct and never thought this could happen in the most advanced country which used to set things right in many others. I would say it has lost its moral compass.

There is no excuse for what happened. This was all brought about by Trump. He needs to be taken out of office.

The thing that happened in our nation's capitol was appalling to be sure, and in no way do I support what happened. But I do seriously question whether or not all of these people were Trump supporters. Too much has gone on in the past with funding from Antifa and George Soros, and watching the people who attended Trump's rallies, and watching THESE people presents a serious question as to who these people really are. As much of this election has indicated, a lot of things do not add up for me. So, I am viewing this not as the way the media wishes to present it to me, but with a discerning eye.
