How is it laughable. Have you ever seen the house of commons in London or the dail for that matter, been overrun by protestors and all the MPs it TDs evacuated to a secure location.
It would simply not happen. This is a symbolically serious assault on American democracy.
This is not simply a street protest as some here would like to pretend.

Seen this loads of times in other parliaments. And far far worse. Didn't Guy Faux attempt to blow up Westminster.

Most of the protesters look like idiots.

Whilst the events are serious, it's clear that CNN and other media have vested interest to get more ratings.

If this is an insurrection, then it's a pretty laughable one.

A mob violently interrupted a democratic process by an elected body.

How is that not an insurrection?

Going by Westminster rules we now get to burn Donald Trump scarecrows every 6th of January

CNN hate Trump, and their claim that they are the most trusted name in news is pretty laughable.

CNN’s “anti-Trump all-the-time” strategy is the brain-child of network president Jeff Zucker, a veteran of NBC’s entertainment division, who actually first green-llt Donald Trump’s “The Apprentice” TV show in 2004 and then used the next decade to learn not only what made his reality show meal-ticket tick but also, for CNN’s purposes, what most ticked Trump off.

Its worked well for them, CNN ratings have surged this year.

You'd wonder what they will do now that the Golden Goose is leaving office.

Is he officially the worst president in American history now?

The interesting question is will he be overtaken as the worst!

He has some good.videos on YouTube, he's been covering Trumpsters on social media and around the country for a few months.

Trump needs to die in jail to send a message to other potential Presidential candidates who'll look to emulate him.

Traditionally James Buchanan has been considered the worst. He was president in the lead up to the Civil War. Whereas trump wasn't the president in the lead up to a .... looks at CNN ... yeah, maybe he is.

These scrubs supporting Trump and acting the hard man with guns couldn't organise shag all, and most of them have no heart or condition for a real physical fight. Show them the kind of resistance that met the BLM protestors who got violent and watch run back home, crying about their 1st and 2nd amendment rights.

You saw that? You should then know he failed miserably and did not get as close as the mob did today.

When was the last time you saw something like this in an established

Insurrection and I think of the Easter Rising.

This thing today and I think of a serious disruption in a country that regularly undermines democracy elsewhere.

The guy in the, eh, get up just sauntered past behind the BBC reporter broadcasting live from outside the Capitol, free as a bird.
The actions of the lunatic fringe of the Trump support are despicable but not totally unexpected to me. Nor the response of their gob****e leader. I'm far more troubled by the utter failure to protect the democratic institution by the multiple law enforcement agencies present in DC with huge resources and then to remain so passive and slow to act after the building was breached. That the guy above was able to wander back out of the Capitol and stroll through the park and is not in a cell is a disgrace.You can't imagine the same would be true off he had been black.

I still think Trump is the only man to deal with the threat of Chinese Authoritarianism. Look at the damage they have done to the global economy. Years and years of turning the blind eye coming home to roost.

Ya, I won't dispute that one. I cant think of anyone worse anyway, and probably hasn't been an inarguably worse one since WW2 (few you can debate on alright)

What an evil, self centred gutless yoke Trump is and the sick crew of yes men/women who enabled him. Great at talking.

Riled up the mob then ran away like a big fat weasel!

I feel sorry for most of the people who followed him. They cannot be sensible or sane.

The IRA bombed Brighton Hotel in 1984 and almost killed Thatcher and then bombed Downing Street in 1991.

Purple paint was thrown at Blair in the 00s by a protestor while he was speaking at the Despatch Box.

Easter Rising started with people simply walking into the GPO.

Today a mob attempted to halt a vital part of US democracy and stop an democratic process.

I don't get how you don't see it as an insurrection. The level of violence or success of it does not matter.
