I agree Swimmy , this has been brewing for months because the narcissistic Trump couldn't accept defeat in a democratic election.
I think Trump has a personality disorder and should be removed from office and control of the USAs and furthermore the nuclear facility.

The 25th amendment states a President can be removed from office when incapacitated by a physical or mental illness, I think he qualifies on the grounds of the latter.

What if that rabble of Trump 'conspiracy believers' had been terrorists with a bomb gaining such easy access to the Capitol building, I shudder to think.

I appreciate Trump's behaviour is not really my business but the USA is one of our greatest allies, enough is enough Trump has shamed his office and all reasonable people in the USA.

Knowing American homeland security like I do (I watch lots of movies!) every one of those protesters will have been caught on camera and will be hunted down in the future.

He's now got himself locked out of Twitter & Facebook for inciting riot.

Can’t help thinking what Trumps old mucker Nigel has to say about this.

Nigel Farage was one of the first to condemn the riot and Trump's response. Trump has made himself an enemy of the state, and indeed his allies in other countries. No politician will want to be associated with him after this. Even if he was right before, he's wrong now.

Bob that is not the point, there could have been a suicide bomber among them and the whole lot could have been blown to pieces They should never have been allowed to gain access to the building.

Mr Ellwood tells Express.co.uk that things could get worse.

He said: “The fact that he is failing to share information – as he is duty-bound to do – suggests he has something up his sleeve and he is going to go out with a bang.

Lengthy but important. Here was my FB response to today's events.

This is one of the few times have made a political post, but today's events call for every last one of us to express outrage. I am going to say what our President did not.

I am a Republican.

Core to our democracy is the Peaceful Transition of Power. I remind our elected officials, extremists, and naysayers (here and abroad) that the will of the people as protected in the Constitution of the United States - trumps all. Each elected official has sworn to defend every detail of the Constitution - whether they agree with it or not. Likewise, the paramount responsibility of every citizen is to protect the rights of their fellow citizens and demand prosecution of those who do not.

Whether you were or are a protestor, a Democrat who boycotted the inauguration of President Trump, President Trump, Nancy Pelosi, a member of the media feeling the need to opine rather than report, a part of some pathetic underground insurrection, or someone who committed voter fraud, we are not going to tolerate interfering with the Peaceful Transition of Power or degrading the fabric of the United State of America ANYMORE.

Whether through investigation, our votes, or new legislation (akin to the need for the 22nd Amendment after FDR, who fighting giving up the presidency, sought additional terms that were customarily limited to two) if you are an elected official who has interfered with our election process or has violated the most minute of laws regarding the respect and transfer of power, we are coming after you.

It is time to dust of the US Codes, start up a massive investigation, and go after every single one of you who is defying the will of the people and the Constitution.

We are taking our great nation back. If you are in elected office, abide by your oath of office, the will of the people, and the decorum that comes with your office - or step aside. If you are a protestor, keep it peaceful or we are coming after you, too.

Enough.

Hahaha. We are just lazy! Like all those extra u's in color, labor, honor...

However, it seems that we have this one right! The building itself is the Capitol, borrowed from Rome's Capitoline Hill and the even older temple "captiolium." We use "capital" to name our capital cities is borrowed from the Latin "capitalis" meaning "of the head." It's confusing and we all suffered learning it in second grade, but tradition and all.....
