DC Dystopia: Dem insurrectionists, total lockdown, scared politicians
Some Democrat insurrectionists are in the Capitol yelling at the police, and there is an army of National Guard everywhere. Maybe the problem isn’t insurrectionists. Maybe it’s our government.
The man who shot Osama bin Laden mocked the elites who rule over us but hide under desks.
I’m watching these Congressmen speak. I cannot believe they are in charge… talking about how “scared” they were. Hiding under desks… betas
The message they’re trying to send is Donald Trump and his supporters did this. However, allegedly, there are more insurrectionists planning rallies in 50 states on Virtual Inauguration Day?

I know there was a riot last week but this seems a bit much, eh? I’m sure this has to do with both Trump’s impeachment today and the upcoming inauguration a week from now, but this is still a bit of a stunning scene. I guess the US wants to send a strong message to anyone who saw how easily rioters breached the Capitol last week and were planning to do the same.
As the U.S. House of Representatives considers whether to impeach Trump for a second time, the halls of the U.S. Capitol were filled with National Guard troops.
As the House of Representatives assembled to debate whether or not to impeach President
Donald Trump, hundreds of armed National Guard troops, deployed to reinforce security, were seen napping throughout the Capitol.
A week after the Capitol was violently attacked by a pro-Trump mob attempting to stop the certification of President-elect
Joe Biden’s election victory, members of Congress convened again to discuss charging Trump with “incitement for insurrection.”
Stunning pictures of the troops, seen sleeping throughout the building on the morning of the impeachment vote, were captured Wednesday:
