Pro-Trump mob storms US Capitol as armed standoff takes place outside House chamber
Supporters of President Donald Trump have breached the US Capitol as lawmakers attempted to count the Electoral College votes certifying President-elect Joe Biden’s win, and an armed standoff is taking place outside the House of Representatives.
Shortly after 1 p.m. ET hundreds of pro-Trump protesters pushed through barriers set up along the perimeter of the Capitol, where they tussled with officers in full riot gear, some calling the officers “traitors” for doing their jobs. About 90 minutes later, police said demonstrators got into the building and the doors to the House and Senate were being locked. Shortly after, the House floor was evacuated by police.

So what comes next?
Confiscatory gun control?
Mass arrests?
Jackbooted face-stamping?
They are not going to get the Antifa in Portland treatment.
The Democrats are going to control both houses of Congress and the Whitehouse.
There is no way that they are going to just let this slide.
All I know is what comes next as retribution is going to suck.
