MOB

Yesterday president trump asked a stupid mob to advance on the capitol and said he would be with them. But his bonespurs flared up. He had to run away. That left 40,000 armed, brainless hicks loose, and they immediately advanced on congress, planning to take a knee in protest. In the end that seemed too disrespectful, so instead they broke windows, stormed offices and sat in Nancy Pelosi's chair. The capitol police reacted with commendable mildness, no planning and no coordination with other forces. They killed no white people. The president declined to call in the National Guard (the VP finally called them). The president went on TV and told the insurrectionists that he loved them. Wall Street reacted badly, seeing no profit in property damage. The 1% ordered a stop. The riot gradually failed--like all of trump's dim efforts other than those that fail immediately--and the trump era is probably over.
