Inside The Senate Siege

[pastafreak]

Some of these photos are shocking...some show a lack of respect for what the building represents.

I think the last time Washington was in enemy hands was the British in 1812.

[pastafreak]

That sounds about right. Now, the enemy comes from within...

[jno]

there were attacks on the media even then. British Admiral Cochrane thought a newspaper had defamed him, so he pulled down their building, and destroyed all the letter Cs in their type drawer so they couldn't do it again.

That would have shown the media not to mess with Kokhrane...

Madison put the entire US Treasury in a strongbox and headed for the hills. I'm surprised Trump hasn't thought of it.

[paddywak]

I'm suprised they've not done what they usually do and just shot a few.

[jno]

someone seems to have been shot, but I don't know who by.

[Zacs-Master]

Bobby Ewing?

[jno]

has died, in fact, according to NBC News

[jno]

ah, sorry, didn't mean to torpedo your joke, ZM

Pasta - I am saddened by these photos but even more saddened that Trump is still at large.

[pastafreak]

I'm hoping that they move to impeach him...make him go out with his tail between his legs.

His Twitter feed is full of removed tweets.

[ummmm]

Removed by himself or twitter?

Trump has certainly conformed to the type his niece alleged in the book* the rest of the family so objected to.

[*Too Much and Never Enough, How my family created the world's most dangerous man, by Mary Trump, published by Simon & Schuster ISBN 978-1-4711-9013-1]

There's also the 25th Amendment route still. That would be a sight to behold, too...

[tiggerblue10]

Not sure but just says 'this tweet is no longer available'.

Actually there were just 3 removed tweets from today so not lots.

[Ken4155]

Anarchy in the USA. Hardly surprising is it, given Trump's inflammatory rhetoric.

[pastafreak]

I read that tweets were removed by Twitter.

[royfromaus]

I've seen the video and there is not doubt that in other circumstances this would be all over the media as a murder and Washington would be on fire now.
