Shooting on a nearby street being reported.
Looks like somebody rammed one of the barriers on Constitution Ave. and the person may or may not have been shot by Capitol Police when doing so.
Thus explains the three Metro PD cars doing their best Daytona 500 impersonation past my house a half hour or so ago.

Don't want to make any assumptions, but this is what happens when the guy who incites a riot gets away with it.

The second officer is in critical condition. The attacker was reportedly a 25 year old man.
How traumatic for the Capitol police and anyone there today. Especially those who were also there on Jan 6th.

Again, jumping to conclusions, but this kind of shit isn't going to stop until we start calling Q for what it is: An extremist domestic terror group.
It sounds like the guy was a fan of Islam. I wondered when he jumped out with a knife instead of 40 guns.
Also Matt could be going thru some things

What’s “good” about this is that Gaetz is the type that will talk and throw others under the bus once he realizes that his daddy can’t fix this one. I bet many of his GOP colleagues are nervous.

I see Huckabee (side note: autocorrect wants to correct that to “huckster” - accurate) has decided to self-identify as an asshole.
So, what - these party line boycotts of corporations are typically only adhered to by the hardest of hard core supporters? So, what, 10-20% of the base?

Shut the hell up, Huckabee.
Post Trump Republicanism - baseball, coca cola, infrastructure, voting and beating covid are bad.
Seems like a winning combination for them.

Just over half of Republicans believe those who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6 were peaceful, law-abiding citizens or were left-wing activists who were trying to make former President Donald Trump look bad, according to a new Reuters/Ipsos poll.
Six out of 10 polled Republicans also believe the false claim made by Trump and his supporters that November’s presidential election was “stolen” from him due to widespread voter fraud. The same percentage believed Trump should run again next election
The false riot perspectives have been pushed by many Republican leaders. Late last month, Trump said there was “zero threat” during the deadly siege and that rioters were “kissing and hugging” police guarding the Capitol that day. Yet millions of Americans watched rioters live on TV grappling with police, beating them with flagpoles and fire extinguishers and blasting them in the face with bear spray.
Five people, including a police officer, lost their lives.
Although a number of Republicans who said that Antifa was responsible for the violence in the Capitol that day have since backed off the claim, their polled followers are apparently standing firm.
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), for example, initially claimed Antifa members posing as Trump supporters were responsible for the siege. But he later conceded they were actually Trump backers.
FBI Director Christopher Wray testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee last month that there was no evidence “anarchist violent extremists or people subscribing to Antifa” were connected to the Capitol violence. The rioters, many of whom wore Trump campaign gear, did include known white supremacist groups such as the Proud Boys.
While 58% of all Americans (and 86% of Democrats) believe Trump bears some responsibility for the attack, only about 3 out of 10 Republicans feel the same way, per the Reuters poll. Eight out of 10 Democrats and 6 in 10 independents reject the lies that the Capitol siege was “mostly peaceful” or that it was staged by leftist protesters.
“Republicans have their own version of reality,” John Geer, an expert on public opinion at Vanderbilt University, told Reuters. “It is a huge problem. Democracy requires accountability and accountability requires evidence.”
