Most likely more BS like the recent threats against airliners. The FedGov really wants the Senate to reauthorize the Patriot Act.

The Capitol is under construction. Some incompetent crim-alien “con”-struction worker probably set the dome on fire.

That would have just been a joke 6 years ago

The country would be better off if that building was permanently evacuated.

Was thinking the same thing.
It’s newsworthy that they have one less afternoon to abrogate our rights or steal our money?

H/T to our FRiend Jim Robinson himself for the post.
This is the first report I have received on this event - any subsequent reporting would be valuable.
For thus has the Lord said unto me:

you know... there is an element “we don’t need no more laws”. Just put down the pen and go home. And take the SC with you.

The only difference between then and now; there is no one willing to put out the flames.

My guesses:
1. Inadvertent accident
2. Deliberate distraction. (What new thing is it that the left doesn’t want us to pay attention to?)

My thought too. Some idiot construction worker managed to set off the fire alarm. Seen it before, let me just beak out the sander next to this active smoke decetor. Crap, the fire alarm went off, how’d that happen.
