Perhaps let's all send some headlines to @ABC so they will find some words for their bumpers that arent' "Capitol Hill Protest" like this was some placard waving march.

Here is @NYTimes:
...and @abc, here is @washingtonpost - they are not calling it "a protest" like you are....
...and, @abc, here is @NBCNews They are not calling this "a protest"....
...and, @abc, here is @CBSNews
They are not calling this "a protest"....

In other words, ABC - do better. Language matters. 9/11 wasn't a building remodeling. The Titanic wasn't "the boat took on water." And THIS is not "a protest."

Since @VP @Mike_Pence is reported to by learning what it is like to fear for his/his families lives when Trump attacks, and since @FBI @SecretService seem unable to find evidence of threats on Parler, as a public service, here is what is building. A call to go to his residence... Image
...and the declaration that @VP @Mike_Pence is a child molester....(Again, this is a public service since Pence is reportedly frightened and @SecretService @FBI dont know how to see building threats, since this is exactly how the capitol raid started).../2 Image
...also, the labeling of @VP @pence as "satan" "Judas" "Benedict Arnold" (Again, this is a public service since Pence is reportedly frightened and @SecretService @FBI dont know how to see building threats, since this is exactly how the capitol raid started)...3 Image

Given @tedcruz etc. justification for their sedition is millions of people believe in election fraud (based on a relentless accusation, with all "proof" deemed ridiculous by courts ), here are other things that @GOP must address, since millions have been led to believe them: /1
..
* A group of Satan-worshipping elites who run a child sex ring are trying to control our politics and media. 17% of Americans believe this, 47% arent sure. The GOP will soon hold hearings on it, right @senatemajldr?..../2
...
*Thirty-nine percent of Americans agree there is a deep state working to undermine President Trump. The GOP will soon hold hearings on it, right @senatemajldr?..../3

This is why America is doomed. Options:
1. Trump lost an election he barely won in 2016.
2. A global conspiracy involving 1000s of people in 6 states rigged voting machines - including areas where those machines weren't used - and manufactured millions of fake ballots, then.../1
...launched a middle-of-the-night mass effort on election day to get those millions of ballots into counting areas where vast numbers of counters participated in the scheme - including Republicans - and yet not a single one of these 1000s of participants has been found nor.../2
...has a single fraudulent ballot been identified with evidence in courts, and the courts are part of the conspiracy because when they said the evidence simply didnt exist (but they didn't hear any of the evidence even though they did) and, even though allegations of fraud.../3

My rage at @HawleyMO comes from having seen democracy in other countries decay, & the result. I dont doubt that, if the House had shifted a few seats, a party that cant win the popular vote would reverse the election. I know what happens: Mobs would raid homes of politicians.../1
...their families would be kidnapped, car bombs would explode at airports and the office buildings of corporate contributors who brought this destruction. A war would begin, and the military would be used to put down pro-democracy protesters, just like in China. But.../2
...it wouldn't play out the same. Everyone would be armed. Worse, we would then be the biggest threat to global security in the world. An unstable country with the kind of military we have would be universally seen as a threat. I could not imagine where things would go from.../3

Hey @HawleyMO @SenHawleyPress - I presume, given youre willing to throw America into chaos simply because Trump screams "fraud" with no evidence, you will also take on these. The "fraud" of @tedcruz. I assume you will make a referral to the ethics committee. And what about.../1
...this one. I expect you will attack the election of the first African American president because a racist psychopath screamed the machines were rigged..../2
...and you will continue to attack the election @HawleyMO @SenHawleyPress of the first African American president because a racist psychopath screamed signatures "didn't match".../3
