And overwhelmed.

Basically the managers made totally brilliant presentations.
Gave us time lines, minute by minute.

Trump had a central role in the mob insurrection.
The mob was blood thirsty and would have killed members of congress, there is no doubt now.
Congress escaped by minutes from death and injury, some literally running for their lives.
The capitol police saved the day with heroism against all odds.

Trump refusing to help control the mob, in fact was excited by it.

That is all I have right now, my head is spinning and my stomach is in knots.
