OK continuing this post on today’s events (1/6)
Twitter gave Trump a fun new banner
but then deleted 3 of his tweets and gave him a 12 hour ban. They said if he does it again he’s suspended.
Facebook deleted Trump’s video. An internal memo was sent to employees regarding the situation.
Rudy Giuliani, Trump’s lawyer, called for a “trial by combat” this morning.
Trump did not call in the National Guard, Pence had to do it with Congress. Trump resisted calling them in.
The woman shot in the Capitol has died.
DC police chief says rioters deployed ‘chemical irritants on police’ to gain access to US Capitol.
Pipe bombs were found at the headquarters for the DNC, RNC and grounds of the United States Capitol. They were detonated by bomb squads.
Rioters were stealing items from the Capitol building.
A rioter was seen with zip ties, potentially signaling he wanted to take hostages.
Rioters seized and destroyed equipment belonging to the Associated Press. They also turned a cable into a noose.
Police gingerly helped a member of the rioters out of the Capitol building and down its steps while holding her hand. Several videos have been posted showing police collaborating with rioters.
A Pro-Trump march took place in Tokyo.
Virginia has issued a State of Emergency, along with a curfew.
First lady’s chief of staff, former WH press secretary, and one of the longest serving Trump staffers Stephanie Grisham resigned over the protest.
WH Deputy Press Secretary Sarah Matthews resigned.
WH social secretary Rickie Niceta resigned.
Trump banned Pence chief of staff Marc Short from the WH.
Former WH Director of Communications urges Trump supporters to admit they lost.
Former PA. state lawmaker Rick Saccone was among those who stormed the Capitol.
Only 15 or so people were arrested in DC so far. In comparison, 14,000+ arrests were made during the George Floyd protests.
Incomplete lists of:
- People condemning the rioters: GOP Communication Director Michael Ahrens, Acting Attorney General Jeffrey A. Rosen, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson lol, Rep Elise Stefanik (R - NY), Former WH Chief of Staff Reince Priebus

- People calling for Trump to be impeached again: Rep Carolyn Bourdeaux (D - GA), Rep David Cicilline (D - RI), Rep Ilhan Omar (D - MI), supposedly 7 reps total but I can’t find everyone
- People calling for use of the 25th amendment: Lucy McBath (D - GA), the National Association of Manufacturers
Congress floor staff rescued the electoral ballots before the rioters broke into the building. Congress reconvened to finish counting the electoral votes. DC metro police are patrolling the halls. Photo. Pence spoke out against the rioters. McConnell called them an “insurrection” while condemning their behavior.
Twitch removed the PogChamp emote after the real PogChamp guy was saying dumb shit on Twitter in support of the rioters.
And probably more but this is so long.
