Absolutely incredible!
More like scenes from a third world country. A failed state.
"The United States of America has been attacked by the President of the United States of America."

Trump threatened this over a week ago so why weren't they prepared ? The whole thing is surreal. Surely the US must learn from this and, as in this country, hand over the reins of power the day after the election result, rather than allow so much power remain in the hands of an out of control megalomaniac for a further three months.

The worst kept secret in the world was that Trump would whistle up his nutters to try to stop the official electoral college ballot count. So why the f**k weren't there enough police/ military ready to stop this rag-tag mini-militia? Where was the great show of force and tear gas Trump deployed against unarmed protesters OUTSIDE the White House just so he could have a photo-op waving his bible next to a church???
Shocking. Really shocking. However, I think this is his last desperate 'hurrah' that will seal his place in History as the despotic ogre he is. Even close former allies are attacking him now and I cannot imagine more than a small minority of even people who voted for him will not be appalled by this. Various Republicans even close allies who have worked with him are condemning this - many calling it cowardice. A few minutes ago it was revealed it was Pence not Trump who (eventually) called in the National guard.
