I watched some of this new video footage of the violent scenes and evacuation of officials at the Capitol. The dismissive reaction of most of the resident Republicans just confirms why so many people regard politicians to be scumbags who are in it for themselves and, in so many cases, aligned to their own warped agenda. To think these Republican senators were also amongst the whole group of Dems and Republicans, security people etc who were all subjected to this extreme threat from a bunch of fanatical insurrectionists and yet still behave as though nothing has happened. A couple of years ago somebody on this board remarked that the Republican Party and the Tories in the UK were a huge threat to the future of the world - only interested in themselves and their outdated values that are well beyond their sell by date. IMO that view has not changed but thankfully in the Reps/Trump case, they are "out of the picture". The biggest worry is if this ultra right politic refinds itself years later and returns to lead the American political scene.
