1. These people are Trump’s SA. They have been incited by their political leader ( Trump) to assault the “ Citadel of Liberty” . They are criminals and insurrectionists.

2. These insurrectionists continue to occupy Capitol grounds. They must be removed. The fall of the Capitol is egregious. The leadership of the Capitol Police should be relieved of duty immediately and capable leaders should be appointed immediately.

@RonJohnsonWI

@tedcruz
should be censured.

[zentrum]

1. Hope the Democrats

…..rise to his call.

[BigOleDummy]

2. Exactly

I agree with everything he says. Invoke the 25th. Cruz should be censured at a minimum and stripped of any and all committee positions he holds. What we saw and heard from the capital today was nothing less than treason period.

[yaesu]

3. It happened in May & no one took it serious, maybe now they will

[hibbing]

5. Exactly n/t

[llmart]

13. I was just thinking that very thing.

And those idiots were allowed to carry assault rifles in. Our legislature is majority GOP, so you know they aren't going to do anything to stop open carry in Lansing. They threatened our Governor and her family and yes, some of them are being arrested and prosecuted. This episode should have been a red flag that they will stop at nothing.

[Amaryllis]

33. But they are white, so it's all differnt rules.

[Leith]

24. That was their practice run

The whole situation is seriously fucked up.

18. Now that there has been obvious violence,

can we finally say "sedition"?

[judesedit]

6. Asap

[Jay25]

7. Truth

[grantcart]

8. National Association of Manufacturers called for Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment

[Chemisse]

40. I sure hope there is a chorus of calls. He needs to be out NOW! n/t

[bucolic_frolic]

9. Emulating Hitler - this was the Beer Hall Putsch

a parallel being drawn on Twitter several times today

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

29. And like Hitler Trump needs to be incarcerated for this stunt.

[lastlib]

34. It nearly became the Reichstag fire.....

[Escurumbele]

10. Why were they not ready, everyone knew it would happen

Why wasn't the National Guard at the Capitol before it happened? They should have been there since this morning.

Someone let it happen.

[Duppers]

14. +1000. THIS ⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆

[onlyadream]

17. It does seem like it was allowed.

This should be investigated.

[Delmette2.0]

20. I thought everyone knew this.....

"Plan for the worst, hope for the best."

[leftieNanner]

35. Because Trump is the one to call in the National Guard

And he wanted this to happen.

[bucolic_frolic]

36. It's been predicted here on DU for months

It didn't take half a brain to see where Trump was going with this

[LiberalLovinLug]

11. "The leadership of the Capitol Police should be relieved of duty immediately...

and capable leaders should be appointed immediately."

I really want to hear his, or her, explanation of their security plans, or lack thereof.

[Delphinus]

23. Me too!

I want to believe they were not complicit in allowing them to run amok ...

[Rebl2]

12. Agree with

Invoking 25th amendment but if that doesn’t happen then possibly impeachment so he can never run for federal office again!!!

[llmart]

15. +1000

I think he and his slimy kids can kiss any aspirations of political careers good-bye, especially Princess Iwanka.

[Deuxcents]

16. Somebody

Pay attention to Steve Schmidt and hire him for our universities, our military schools, our new government. He’s always spot on..imo..knows our history, is a distinguished vet n has resources we sure could learn from. He commands attention with his delivery n I hope he would work with us. He and his friends at TLP sure have..and thankfully so.

[Thunderbeast]

19. Which ten cabinet member would sign on?

The cabinet is so corrupt I don't see a path.

I also don't see 16 Republican Senators.

[Mr. Evil]

21. I certainly hope that maybe these actions are a contributing factor as to why

President-Elect Biden hasn't named a person for AG as yet.

Now, especially after today's utter lawlessness, he must absolutely nominate a completely unwavering, nearly ruthless pit bull prosecutor for AG and go after everyone that played even a small part in inciting this clusterfuck. These Trumpdrunks are violent lunatics and beyond redemption. There's no gray area here. Imprisonment for all!

[rurallib]

26. Merrick Garland was named earlier today

[Mr. Evil]

37. I hadn't seen anything about that this evening. Thanx for the info.

[Evolve Dammit]

22. Grow a spine America. These assholes in MI and DC need to be prosecuted and convicted for sedition.

[Pinkflamingo]

25. trump should be detained until Jan 20th. He is a terrorist.

Detain him for our safety.

[DemoTex]

27. #25 #45 before the cock crows.

Then impeach him before 1/20.

[SpankMe]

28. This won't be the last we hear from Schmidt. He's pissed. n/t

[betsuni]

30. Thank you so much, it's fantastic!

[Crunchy Frog]

31. We need to move on so America can heal.

[OhioTim]

32. Trump Is Mentally Ill..

..he needs to be removed.

[paleotn]

38. Censure?

How about expulsion....

Article I, Section 5, of the United States Constitution provides that "Each House [of Congress] may determine the Rules of its proceedings, punish its members for disorderly behavior, and, with the concurrence of two-thirds, expel a member." Since 1789, the Senate has expelled only fifteen of its entire membership.

Remove the insurrectionists?

How about...

18 U.S. Code § 2383 - Rebellion or insurrection
Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.

I think 10 years is a bit light. Ought to be a capital crime, since they're so passionate about capital punishment.

[colsohlibgal]

39. Yep Dufus Donnie Jumped The Shark Today

Pence should invoke that Amendment and take over the few days left till Joe.

The Creep in Office now is mentally ill.
