Just to follow up, there was talk of weapons and bombs among the misguided idiots who stormed the Capitol building, but what I've heard since is that stuff was minimal and the bombs were in the city of Washington DC, but I haven't heard them linked to this particular act of stupidity.

I've heard of a handful of people who were arrested for having a firearm in the capitol building, but not any stories of any of them drawing their firearms. They had them, the police noticed, and arrested those people.

I've heard those who entered the building described as violent, but I personally think that's hyperbole. Sure, the act of entering the building and house chambers uninvited is aggressive, and perhaps violent under a legal definition (IDK), but I see no evidence that anyone who entered the capitol was there to harm or kill anyone.

Time will tell, I suppose, but even if it comes out that a couple people were there to cause violence or widespread destruction, the truth is almost certainly that was not the intent of 99% of the people present in that event.


I really don't expect a 2nd impeachment, though I think it's wholly appropriate. Biden is not calling for any further censuring of Trump, and is talking about healing the nation, and seems to think allowing the million scandals of Trump to be swept under the rug is going to be a good thing for the office of POTUS.
I don't get that. What the hell, Biden? What are you planning to do in the next 4 years that you're afraid to set a precedent by proving the American president is not above the law?
