This isn’t just about Trump. It’s also about an unexplainable lack of serious security at the Capitol on a day when anyone would have known that it was at least conceivably more vulnerable. We’ve known about this rally for weeks & its organizers were open about planning to storm.

The Capitol Police let them in and took selfies with the rioters. Did you see the videos, @marwilliamson?!

You want it to be unexplained, when it is very explainable. The police are filled with white supremacists, authoritarian & anti-government types.

I was sure that the Capitol was going to be cordoned and have police guarding the perimeter. For the life of me, I could not imagine they would have the Capitol totally unprotected. Especially knowing what happened in MI and the violence of the armed right-wing American machos.

Serious dereliction of duty by security personnel.

Right? It's kind of like 9/11 all over again. Where was the Air Force? Where was the f@#$ing security?? Really, it's this easy to just storm the Capitol??? Wtf..

It was an inside job. Either Capitol Police are in cahoots with Trump/White Fascists or the neolibs allowed it as an excuse to crack down on protest as the US empire collapses.

When 90 percent of police are Trump supporters. Good old boys get the polite get home safe treatment like when they get pulled over for drunk driving. Had they been rioting while black that would have got the officer in distress call.

@MaxineWaters and others talked with the chief days ago. There is no credible way for them to claim they didn’t know what to expect
