Let me pass a note that I’m seeing shared among my Middle Eastern tweets some of whom are tempted to analyze all this blow by blow. Experience.
As it often happens, there may be people among the police who sympathize with those who stormed the Capitol—even as many do their job.Show this thread -
So far: Capitol stormed, one dead, multiple explosive devices found/detonated, the very few people arrested had guns on them, the electoral college vote was not certified (staffers rushed out with the boxes). Still wondering what happens if we indulge election-stealing fantasies?

Even after all that, 138 representatives —65% of GOP caucus—and 7 senators voted to discard PA.
