"President Trump is now defending the actions of his supporters who stormed and vandalized the Capitol.
“These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away," he tweeted.
"Trump concluded the tweet, rather stunningly, with “Remember this day forever!” There is no proof of widespread election fraud and the election was not stolen from Trump." 
"At the end of the tweet, Trump also called on the rioters to “go home with love & in peace.”

Who knows where they are. Steven's probably taking pictures of groundhogs, Darren will probably chime in afterwards like he usually does and Greg is around cause he already gave me the finger.
Here's what the Trumptoids were up to before they stormed and occupied the capitol. They were laying the groundwork:
"Using hashtags such as #StormTheCapitol and #StopTheSteal, users of the conservative online networks Parler and Gab celebrated Wednesday’s clashes and offered to serve as “back up.”
“AT THIS POINT, INSURRECTION ACT, MARTIAL LAW AND RUN THEM THE FUCK OVER WITH A MILITARY OPTION!!!” one Parler commenter wrote.'
"On the homepage of thedonald.win, a popular online forum for Trump fans, the majority of Monday’s top 50 posts about the election certification featured comments calling for violence, according to an analysis by the disinformation research organization Advance Democracy Inc.
"One recent post said protesters should “not let [anyone] disarm someone without stacking bodies,” adding that they should be “ARMED WITH RIFLE, HANDGUN, 2 KNIVES AND AS MUCH AMMO AS YOU CAN CARRY,”
“Take your motherfucking guns,” one TikTok user declared. “That’s the whole point of going.”
"Meanwhile, insurrectionists are waving Confederate flags and refusing to vacate the Capitol, to the great delight of Trump-loving trolls online."

Greg wishes he was there. 
PS: Other than plundering the capitol, you know what two things the whackos did once inside the building? 1. Formed lines to use the bathrooms. 2 Smoked pot.

It is a undisputable fact that several states violated their own election laws. That in itself is enough to invalidate the election regardless of who the candidates were or which party it benefitted. In truth even if it was only ONE state......

I already stated I was not particularly happy that some on the fringe right broke some windows and generally ran amok in the nations capitol of course some were plants from antifa as well as has been revealed.....of course some will seize on another statement I said in jest that if I had been there I might have broke some windows too.

The bottom line is our election process failed big time in light of the above and did so with partisan participation and support.
Only in your alternate reality where evidence doesn't exist and allegations are enough...

Bull shit, if those cases and the allegations had ANY merit, they would have been heard and the judges, many of them Republican appointees, including those from Trump, can recognize the law and reality. You and your fellow Trumptoids obviously can't...

Watching the Senate proceedings

Posted By Rod Kaufman

"Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio), who chairs the House Appropriations Subcommittee on the Legislative Branch, which funds the Capitol Police, said heads would roll.
“I think it’s pretty clear that there’s going to be a number of people who are going to be without employment very, very soon because this is an embarrassment,” he said, adding that the breach was the result of “enormous strategic and planning failures by the Capitol Police, by the Sergeant at Arms and anybody else who was a part of coordinating this effort."
"A photo of an officer posing for a selfie with a rioter went viral, as did a video that appeared to show officers opening a gate for oncoming protesters,"

Here's a photo of Republican senator Josh Hawley, leading proponent of Trump's conspiracy theories to overturn the election, egging the rioters on:
