So much for "it'll only be a handful of diehard Trumpers"...

I can't see why people weren't prepared for this.

Is there an alternate location where Congress can gather? I would assume there would have to be some place designated in the event of a terrorist attack.

And what happens if Congress can't complete its certification of the EV in time?

1. There is.

It is a classified location. But it does exist.

2. You think they would have monitored the Rioters Priorly

And over-prepared for this possibility. Trump encouraged this bs. Damn criminal.

3. They who?

I think that any in depth look into local law enforcement will find an uncomfortable number of them would be a part of any violent trump mob if they weren't being paid to be present.

and the feds are, last i checked, under the executive branch.

That just leaves state officials.. and DC aint a state.

4. We'll have to watch as the National Guard and unified forces are called in now

There could be some blood in the Capitol and I think adequate personnel on scene will overwhelm the mass.

5. True. These are a crazed mob

They will overwhelm small forces, but run at the sight of actual danger.
