It is anarchy by trump supporters They have stormed the capitol building.

There is so much to say. I will only say:

I hope our resident trump supporters are proud. These are people who have the same values as you.

You are failing to understand what you are seeing today. There are many, many Americans who are deeply frustrated that their concerns about the integrity of this election have been callously swept aside without sincere evaluation by the courts and by their political institutions. That's what triggered this (rather irrational and unproductive) occupation.

Laws were broken, charges will be brought, order will be restored, but that's not the important point here. The important point is for Congress to understand the foolishness of treating the concerns of citizens with such little regard.

Calling riots "mostly peaceful protests" for months is a double edged sword.

Wonder home media are going to report this... cuz these people are frustrated Americans showing their frustration. Thousands of them!

You are confusing these ppl with non-brainwashed intelligent humans with a sense of decency and ability to think critically.

Trump sure cleared them out of Lafayette Square efficiently so he could pose with a bible like he was God himself...Mr Law and Order president he called himself.

He sure has handled today differently.

"The people" come in all shapes, sizes, and intellectual ability (surely TERB demonstrates that!). Nevertheless, a democracy grants all of the power to them to delegate to their representatives (in theory). At least that's what we tell them. That certainly was the song the media was singing during the MONTHS of BLM protests. On that logic, if "the people" have concerns, their institutions have to address them. That's not been happening.

Unless you want to tell them a different truth - that "the people" doesn't mean "the little people".

No not at all. Laws were not broken. Integrity of the election was as fine as 2016 (which you remember who won).

The problem is a psychopath sore looser was able to convince a bunch of pure racist to break things up.

Trump says go home but calls the protesters 'special'.

“I know your pain, I know your hurt. We had an election that was stolen from us. It was a landslide election, and everyone knows it, especially the other side,” Trump said. “But you have to go home now. We have to have peace. We have to have law and order.”

To say this for the 1,000th time, the president and his allies have produced no evidence of widespread fraud in the election.

Trump blamed his opponents for the violence today and praised his supporters, saying, “We can’t play into the hands of these people. We have to have peace. So go home. We love you; you’re very special.”

According to reports, one woman is in critical condition after being shot in the chest on Capitol grounds, and one police officer has been transported to a local hospital.
