The best route for preparation would have been to pre-emptively deploy the VA national guard. It’s just that no one wants military uniforms anywhere near this, to avoid any hint of the military becoming involved in the election.

Seriously surreal to think today that my friend is safer in his role in Afghanistan today than he would be if he were still posted in DC.

And I just told everyone that I would cover their shifts if they were freaking out and wanted to go home.
Also I have detailed reports to work on that require concentration and that I need to have done in two days. I was hoping to make a lot of progress on them today. LOL NOPE.

From the NYT:
“A Capitol Police officer tried to reason with the crowd: “You guys just need to go outside,” he pleaded with a man in a green backpack. When asked why they weren’t expelling the protesters, the officer said, “We’ve just got to let them do their thing now.””
OH OK THEN EVERYTHING IS FINE

It’s been called for Ossoff, according to the CBS News I’m watching Biden on right now. So there’s a little bright light in the middle of this horror.
