Not to mention, you'd expect a functional government with its own functional military would threaten a military reprisal like sending a strike team or launching a missile, not threatening to hijack a plane. That makes me wonder if the threat was cooked up by someone who can't tell the difference between 2000s-era terrorist groups and an actual government.

...George Bush?

Hey, the mission was accomplished! Right? And btw the mission was....?

[feelotraveller]

Pity no-one in the international community had the balls to say "The devil came here yesterday, and it smells of sulfur still today", at the UN or something.    Probably would have got their country embargoed back to the stone age.

Accomplished.
C’mon, you said it yourself

Iran threatened to fly a plane into the Capitol on Wednesday when Congress meets. If they do make an attempt then I hope you guys kick their teeth in. Like that would basically be declaring war and it would be stupid to not fight back.

Darn, the timing's just a little off...
Trump supporters storming the Capitol building grounds, tearing down fences

But yeah, anonymous voice threatening retribution for us assassinating Soleimani (speaking of causes for war).  It's no more credible than when a student calls in a bomb threat to get out of a test.

McConnell has turned against Trump, arguing on the Senate floor against the Republicans who are calling for a re-do on the vote for President.

Honestly this pisses me off. McConnell is every inch the walking bag of shit that Trump is, and he's only pretending to care about the integrity of the Democratic process now because he sees Trump going down.

Arizone was objected to, debate is ongoing. McConnell makes a strong stand against it, according to NY Times (I'm trying to divide my attention between House, Senate, the riots, etc.)

McConnell calls his vote to override the objections “the most important vote I have ever cast.” And he has voted on multiple wars and impeachments.

McConnell: “Nothing before us proves illegality anywhere near the massive scale that would have tipped the entire election.”

“We cannot declare ourselves a national board of elections on steroids,” McConnell says.

“If we overrule them it would damage our republic forever,” he says.

McConnell: Public doubt alone can’t justify this when the doubt was incited without any basis.

McConnell is standing over Trumpism and trying to put a dagger through its heart.

Bold god-damned words from Lord Toad himself; I bet he wouldn't be so strong about it if he still was Majority Leader.

Meanwhile the people outside are trying to... break into the Capitol? Something like that. A few buildings have been evacuated. I think Police are fighting back but I'm unclear on details.

EDIT: DC is on lockdown.

That certainly appears to be the case. Capitol Police have already had to pull their lines back several times.

Things are getting spicy on Capitol Hill.

[MrRoboto75]

It's like the storming of the bastille, but fatter.

[da_nang]

A few have breached the doors and are now inside. Sessions are put on recess and evacuation are being made.

Hundreds now wandering through the building completely unchecked.
There have also been reports of pipe bombs and suspicious packages.

[Vector]

. . . Honestly, I'm scared. News that some are carrying confederate flags.

[martinuzz]

This not good. Hope the congress gets out alive to vote another day

[da_nang]

Oh they're clashing inside now with the police. So far only fists.
