All 3 medical events though. The Maga diet is not a healthy one. There's a lot of steps at the Capitol.

Probably not the usual steps and police kind of medical incident though.

Also that there were multiple police injuries, including two officers hospitalized.

Multiple firearms confiscated, some molotov cocktails, two pipe bombs.

Serious credit to the photographers who, knowing how these neonazis hate those in the media and knowing the threat they were facing, continued to document the travesty, who continued to make it clear to the world what was happening with images like this - this was taken by an AP photographer, though I don't know more than that about who took it.

Serious credit to the discipline of antifascists etc for not showing up and not giving the fascist scum what they wanted. There's no muddying of the waters here, no doubt as to who did what. Not showing up was entirely the right move, frustrating though it must be.
Fox News etc already trying to say it was false flag antifa action.

It’s quite amazing how people attending a Trump rally, that Trump addressed and asked to March on the Capitol, and were then praised by Trump, and were interviewed afterwards saying they were proud of what they’d done, are now AntiFa. Still, maybe that association might make others not want to take part in future?

Ann Coulter was interviewed on Good Morning Britain.

I was expecting her to spout the Antifa nonsense but no; she's seen the writing on the wall and has turned on Trump. Admittedly in part for not following through on his far-right policies but still ...
And remember that if you botch the exit, the carnival of reaction may be coming to a town near you.

Natural News is still pushing the Antifa False Flag line. Adams is citing the inadequate policing at the start as proof that it was all staged! Also Pence's decision to abide by the constitution makes him a dirty traitor.

Also, a mob that size must surely be a superspreader event.

I'm not sure - I've not seen any evidence that the BLM protests generated any kind of spike, and more that a few people yesterday were wearing some kind of masks - albeit for different reasons
My avatar was a scientific result that was later found to be 'mistaken' - I rarely claim to be 100% correct
ETA 5/8/20: I've been advised that the result was correct, it was the initial interpretation that needed to be withdrawn
Meta? I'd say so!

Members of Congress and staff got crowded together in small rooms. Some Democrats left these safe areas because Republicans were refusing to wear masks.

It must be quite difficult to keep a straight face whilst making that claim that when Trump was praising them. And I guess there are a fair number with White supremacist tattoos.

The woman who got shot is being called a patriot and a martyr in the same tweet as a claim that the rioters were Antifa. I can only assume that these people are on crack.

I know this jamiroquoi wannabe muthafucka is kinda funny but his tattoo is the symbol of Wotanism, which is a Nazi/Odin occult that believes Jews control the government, the Holocaust is exaggerated and champions the 14/88 slogan. He’s a real card-carrying Nazi.
And sTeamTraen, it's quite simple - those who are hurt are patriots who've been oppressed by the deep state. Those who haven't been hurt are Antifa infiltrators. That's the definition.

A lot of weasel words coming from some senior Repugs.

The BBC had one Repug strategist on last night who, while he did condemn the violence, wanted everyone to appreciate this was very much a "blame on both sides" scenario.

Because yes on the one hand the Republicans have enabled and encouraged far-right lunatics to reject the democratic process and even after the tediously predictable events of yesterday a third of them continue to support a violent coup but on the other hand the Democrats won the election fair and square by a landslide so in many ways they are equally culpable.

I mean just look how the Democrats responded to the election results in 2000 and 2016, it was exactly the same!

Sounds from this they were mean to the revolutionaries. Unsporting.
This clip will always be my favourite.

Reports say one of the people who died accidentally tasered himself and had a heart attack.

It's very much a four lions sort of a revolution.

I get the impression that they sincerely believed that the police and military would join them in kicking out the corrupt congress and installing Trump as rightful president. Must have been disappointing when it didn't have a movie script ending.

The USA is fortunate* that the insurrectionists were so pathetic. Imagine what would have happened if they were properly organised and knew what they were doing.


*I was tempted to say "dodged a bullet" here but it's probably too soon.

Tut, tut haven't a thousand chin-stroking Guardian articles taught us that we shouldn't call out racists fuckwits on their racism and f.ckwittery.

No they should be pandered to and told they have legitimate greviances and that their unhinged delusions should be taken seriously and their Will must be implemented at any cost and under no circumstances should they ever be confronted..

If we do that then nothing but good things happen.
