    It is. An image search yields an article from 2014 as the oldest source of that image.

    EDIT: Yeah, I should have refreshed before hitting "submit", I guess.

    JUST NOW: SenDuckworth
    tells us on CBSNews
    that a "Quick-thinking" Senate aide seized copies of the Electoral College certificates before they all evacuated the chamber.


    Jeeez! Imagine the more chaos. Yes, there are backups or whatever but just the idiots calling for new certifications now for sure.

    The guy I am watching was absolutely hilarious. He apparently had no idea what Tear Gas really was, and was acting all tough as the cloud came for him. Then absolutely melted down at the first smell of it.

    To be clear, that was VERY little tear gas, and widely dispersed by the time it got to him. These guys are soft as shit.

    About time. Looks like the mayor told them to get their shit together and actually have a functioning government again. Fortunately, these guys are total babies about a little tear gas, so it doesn't seem hard to disperse them. Which makes you wonder why they didn't do it 4 hours ago...

    Just remember this happened because people stood back and did nothing every time someone crossed a line.

    Why is this being allowed to happen? How is it possible that there’s some dude putting his feet up on Nancy Pelosi’s desk? Where is the response here? Are the police complicit?

    You say that now but as Twitter has it, wait until 2031 and the Commons gets stormed while Prime Minister Patel calls them very fine people and Labour Leader JK Rowling somehow finds a way to blame it on trans people invading female spaces.

    People asking about the lack of arrests. I don't think the LEO's can do that right now - not enough manpower. They have other priorities - clearing the Capital Building, grounds, etc. I'm not happy about it, but there we are.

    The problem is they should have expected this and chose not to prepare.

    Yeah but they’re actually in the building. Is it that easy to bring congress to a halt?

    If someone had tried that with Bercow, he’d have karate chopped them to death, or thrown an office junior at them.
