Nor do I. That's cos we don't read books!

Ilhan Omar is drawing up impeachment articles.

Senator Tammy Duckworth, a Democrat of Illinois, credited a “very, very quick-thinking” staffer with grabbing the electoral college ballots before lawmakers were forced to evacuate the chamber.
“So we have them with us, and we will be able to proceed as long as Mitch McConnell calls us back into session,” Duckworth told CBS News.

That's good obviously - what would have happened if the invaders snatched them, probably they just have to submit the ones that survive or something - but the main thing that jumps out on me here is the senator's name, sounds like someone out of Coronation Street, not Illinois.

And I think theres definitely a "in for a penny, in for a pound" sensibility at play here, at least among the more extreme among them.

That is, in response to the questions of the intelligence of these protesters/invaders. I think many of them don't abide by rationality even in mundane situations, yet alone when they have such a good opportunity to discharge pent up libidinal energy.

Can you imagine how much fun it is to do that!

It's what you dream of as a child. Smashing up the school. Doing a poo on the headmasters desk!

Saturnalia! The Lord of Misrule!

I;m sure people jumped on that opportunity. Or, rather, squatted on it.

Padraig would tell us if he was here. He'd have a list of fifteen examples ready to go

Missing Padraig!

 

[luka]

He'd probably stop us having fun though!

 

[version]

He was here earlier.

 

[luka]

I want some more theories on why they were let in the building. That's what I'm interested in.

I was just wondering where he'd got to.

Where are you Padraig? Don't be mad at us!

They were let in so they could be unwittingly exposed to occult energies channeled through the dome of the Capitol building.

That don't sound very plausible version. We're trying to have a serious conversation.

They were let in so they could spread COVID throughout the building, congresspeople be dropping like flies in a minute.

I suppose the suggestion that a lot of cops are a bit, well, fashy falls under the rubric about "the boring answer".

No, not really, I just aren't convinced it's a strong enough explanation

I think there have to be orders from up top.
