This unruly mob behavior is being encouraged by the person holding the highest office in the land. It has come to this. It is shameful. It is illegal.

“Two buildings across the street from the Capitol were evacuated Wednesday as Trump supporters clashed with police while attempting to storm the legislature.”

They evacuated faster than Mitch McConnell’s bowels when the Georgia results came in.

He’s pure chaos at this point because he doesn’t care that his words and deeds have consequences outside his own existence. He says whatever he feels in the moment and if other people end up getting hurt as a direct result to people reacting to those words, he doesn’t understand/doesn’t care about the causality. His own damaged psyche is first, second and always the only things he cares about.

If only we had a backup emergency law enforcement body. We could nationalize them, deployed to states as needed, when requested by local authorities. Call them the National Guard, or something. With helicopters.

What do they think they’re gonna do if they break in? Threaten to shoot people until somebody agrees to reverse the election? This dangerous collective tantrum is going to go very well for them.
