It seems Pence is still in Congress. It must be Trump up there, shitting himself.

It could have been the Orange Ape although the plane running with the Transponder on and not using the Air Force One call sign would suggest otherwise.

It's also the Defense Secretary's plane under normal circumstances so he may have been on board. It landed at an Air Force Global Strike Command facility at Dyess AFB in Texas.

The transportation secretary and wife of Mitch McConnell has declared her intention to resign.
Elaine Chao will leave her office on Monday.

He'll be in his bedroom knocking one out over the tv footage.

Education Secretary Betsy Devos has resigned. A policeman injured at the Capitol Building has died. Reports that one of the dead was a guy who accidentally tasered himself in the balls and died.

Trump has spoken overnight. It takes him 16 seconds to lie that he “immediately” sent in the National Guard when we know Pence ordered them in. In the recorded message Trump says there will be an orderly transition, says the attack on the Capitol was wrong and whilst he does not
repeat any claims winning the election he does not concede or mention Biden by name. Looks like an attempt to distance himself from serving time in jail for insurrection.

The video appears to have been edited before it went out.

So who knows what else he really said...

The Governor of Maryland has given a press conference describing how they were prevented from sending their National Guard to help for a few hours due to refusal to give them permission from The Pentagon

Yes according to Facebook allowing Trump on their platform would pose too great a risk to the public.

Should I be worried that someone who can't be trusted with a Facebook account is still US President?

Its funny to me that facebook and twitter can dictate to the president... by rights the president should have the power to shut them companys down

Social media will alway be the devil

It's been comfirmed that a police officer has died of injuries that he sustained during the riot.

That sounds a lot like a dictatorship.
