36. A lot of them wore black suits. Black for mourning, but also to project authority.

It is interesting though, that she wore the same one for both impeachments.

I know we all felt the fury at watching the armed mob storm our Capitol Building, hurting, killing, defacing, ransacking. And with reports of panic buttons being torn out days before the coup attempt, as well as the insurrectionists being aided by Republican members of Congress taking them on tours, texting Pelosi's location to them - it is no wonder that one Capitol Policeman committed suicide just a day after the ordeal. He couldn't bear what he saw - the desecration of what he loved and believed in.

I am so very furious at Trump for making all this happen, and at the hate-filled white nationalist thugs who make up his private MAGAT army. The soldiers now guarding the Capitol have live ammunition, did you know? They will defend our republic with lethal force. DC looks more like a third world country than the epicenter of world democracy. And TRUMP DID THIS.

Your rejoinder to this thread reminds me of the old Johnny Cash song, Man in Black. It has always been one of my favorites.
