Breaking news! The U.S. Congress was occupied this morning! A full curfew is imposed in the capital

I saw a shocking news early this morning - a riot broke out in the capital of the United States on the afternoon of the 6th, which was early this morning local time. A large number of Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol, destroyed and occupied the U.S. Congress!

After watching so many Hollywood blockbusters such as "The End of America" ​​and "White House Downfall", I never expected that there would actually be such a drama of occupying the White House in 2021.

Because according to convention, today is the day when the Senate and the House of Representatives will determine the final results of the election. The Vice President needs to preside over the vote count to confirm the 538 electoral votes cast in November . Of course, we all know the result (Biden 306 votes, Trump 232 votes). This vote count is just a formality, which is regarded as officially confirming Trump's defeat.

So Trump's fans chose to gather in front of the Capitol on this day to protest, unanimously denying Trump's defeat and believing that the Democratic Party was "stealing the country."

Trump's fans are quite radical, and when they gather together, they are prone to conflict with the staff who maintain order. At 1 p.m. local time, hundreds of demonstrators and police officers fought each other, causing the demonstrators to break through the cordon, climb rocks and walls, and use their own tricks to bypass the police blocking the road, and rushed into the Capitol through small doors and windows.

Then at around 2:30 p.m., the police announced the evacuation of members of the House and Senate from the Capitol. The election vote counting process was forced to be suspended, and Vice President Pence was quickly taken away from the Capitol.

The protesters who entered the Capitol vented their dissatisfaction with the election results. Some even rushed into the office of House Speaker Pelosi to take selfies.

Some even took away the big podium used by the congressmen for meetings .

It was not enough to just take the podium, they immediately put it up for sale online.

This is really a big joke for the United States to the whole world. If you know that the last time the U.S. Capitol was invaded and destroyed was in 1812 during the Second American War of Independence, the British army attacked and burned the U.S. Capitol and the White House. This was the first and only time in American history that the capital was occupied , and the then president was forced to flee Washington. Now the Congress has ushered in a second "occupation", and the occupying party is actually the supporters of the White House (Trump administration). This absurd scene surprised politicians from various countries, and they all stood up to criticize this situation.

There are also countries that have suffered from US intervention and manipulation and are gloating over the misfortune. Lebanese diplomat and permanent representative to the United Nations, Mohammad Safa, tweeted: "If the United States saw what the United States is doing to the United States, the United States would definitely invade the United States and liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States."

According to the latest news from foreign media, the Washington DC government announced a mandatory curfew at 6 pm local time . Except for government employees and those in essential positions, no one is allowed to go out during the curfew. For this reason, the Department of Defense has mobilized 1,100 National Guard members in the Washington area to cooperate with local police to enforce the curfew. More than 30 people have been arrested for violating the curfew. After the curfew, the police are still clearing protesters who broke into the Capitol.

I thought 2020 was exciting enough, but I didn’t expect that only a week into 2021, Trump fans told me with their actual actions: “You are still too young.” And the impact of this farce will not end with Biden’s inauguration . The split between Trump supporters and the Democratic Party will be difficult to repair in a short period of time, so in the next period of time, we sellers have to be prepared to deal with the domestic turmoil in the United States.

Fortunately, the subsidy plan we talked about last time is progressing smoothly. If nothing unexpected happens, we will usher in a wave of order peaks at the end of this month. The impact of this riot on the demand side is not significant, but the distribution side may be more serious. This kind of demonstration, coupled with the curfew , may delay the delivery time again. There may even be loss of warehouse goods and delivery packages due to the riot.

Therefore, sellers should pay close attention to the delivery of orders in the near future. If any loss is found, they must file a claim in time. I have found a collection of FBA claim skills for you, covering everything from how to determine claimable inventory to how to increase the success rate of claims.
