    Wow, just escorting them in. Apparently these officers didn't view much of the people in the crowd as a major threat. I doubt many of them thought that soon after millions of Americans would consider them to be domestic terrorists.

    It really wouldn’t matter what their leaders say. These people don’t take anything at face value and will contort anything they hear into something that fits their narrative. They’re idiots who think think they’re the smartest people in the room which happens to be the most dangerous kind.

    I think it's imperative that charges be brought upon the heads of the snake, including Trump and Trump Jr. They worked their most rabid fans into a mob frenzy, foaming at the mouth. The Trump's must pay for their sins.

    No leniency whatsoever.

    The revolution will be live streamed! While the perpetrators are served cocktails in an posh tent a safe distance away.

    @realDonaldTrump
    Rally Speech at 18:30 (probably). “Now don't forget to pick up your complimentary pipe bombs, mace, and lead pipes on the way over there. Don't use them to force your way into the Capitol or hurt anybody or anything like that, just pick them up because you guys look out of shape and could use some weighted exercise.”

    WASHINGTON — A man photographed casually sitting with his foot on a desk in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office at the U.S. Capitol while a pro-Trump mob rampaged the halls of Congress was arrested Friday, law enforcement officials said.

    Richard Barnett, 60, of Gravette, Arkansas, was taken into custody in his home state on federal charges of entering and remaining on restricted grounds, violent entry and theft of public property, according to a Department of Justice official. Further details were not immediately available.


    Images, apparently of Barnett, were splashed across social media as the deadly mayhem unfolded in the nation's capital on Wednesday, just as Democratic and Republican lawmakers convened to count the Electoral College votes. Members of Congress condemned the violence and rioting, which was preceded by a rally led by President Donald Trump who told his supporters to swarm the Capitol in defiance of the election results.

    Also charged Friday in connection with the rioting at the Capitol was a state lawmaker from West Virginia, Republican Del. Derrick Evans, who had recordedand then deleted a video of himself joining the throng. A petition has been started for him to step down.

    As the chaos continued Wednesday afternoon, a New York Times reporter tweeted that he spoke with Barnett after his stunt in Pelosi's office. In a video, he boasts that he took a personalized envelope, but insisted he didn't steal it.

    "I left a quarter on her desk," he said.

    Barnett also claimed that he knocked politely on the door to the California Democrat's office, but was then swept inside by other rioters who had breached the Capitol. He said he left a "nasty note" as well, using an expletive to refer to Pelosi.

    "I'll probably be telling them this is what happened all the way to the D.C. jail," he added.

    It was not immediately clear Friday if Barnett had an attorney.

    If a million white nationalists show up with guns you bet your ass you'd see a national guard sortie and helicopters out. On second thought, maybe they'd hold their hands and give them fresh hot tea for the sipping. After Wednesday I am not so sure.

    A million people is about the size of the US army.

    Imagine how outraged some of the Trumpsters are that they go home after committing sedition at the orders of Trump and their TV talking heads are calling them ANTIFA that same evening.
