U.S. Capitol building invaded!

People coming into the Capitol to interview Congressmen without having the proper visitor pass is an "invasion"? Are you really trying to equate this with breaking windows, stealing property, beating police officers, and shouting for executions?
Yes. Yes they are. :facepalm:

I think you're splitting hairs. A large angry mob of armed morons worked into a frenzy by a mendacious narcissist is just the same as a handful of journalist looking to get some photo ops. It's a classic comparison.
Yeah. We don’t want those whiney snowflake liberals coming into this thread shouting “false equivalency!”. Now we know that the congressional public trial is a farce!

Biden released a statement on the Colbert staffers calling them “dog face pony soldiers” and blaming them for gas prices.

A group of people have been arrested by Capitol police for unauthorized entrance to a Congressional office building of the U.S. Capitol. The group were in the building after hours. Earlier in the day they attempted to enter a Capitol building but were told to leave. The individuals were arrested for illegal entry.

The individuals have been identified as associates of the Late Night with Steven Colbert television program.

Wait - so now you're against people trespassing in the Capitol?

There is quite a bit of difference between trying to overthrow the country, no matter how ineptly, and unauthorized journalism.
But the Republican Trumpettes simply do care about our representative democracy and the simple fact that Trump & Co tried to end it. If successful, we would now either have a Trump dictatorship or a Republican oligarchy.

Thankfully there are still some honest Republicans. Just think what a mess we would be in if the mostly Republican poll workers in Pennsylvania, Georgia, etc. were as dishonest as Trump.

Exactly, and many prominent former Pubs have left the party, such as George Will, Steve Schmidt, etc. There are also others that have remained in the party but strongly condemn the BIG LIE and Trump & Co.

It's the MAGA way - ignore serious crimes, insurrection and death threats from the MAGA tribe and trumpet a minor peccadillo from the media.

I’m sure the Make America Great Again Trump Supporters (MAGATS) will say it has something to do with how Global Warming is also a farce.

Colbert's monologue about this was hilarious and poignant:


“The Capitol police are much more cautious than they were, say, 18 months ago, and for a very good reason. If you don’t know what that reason is, I know what news network you watch.”

“Drawing any equivalence between rioters storming our Capitol to prevent the counting of electoral ballots and a cigar-chomping toy dog is a shameful and grotesque insult to the memory of everyone who died."
