Breaking 1-06-21: MAGA terrorist attack on Capitol

He is but did you vote for Harris? That's hypocritical imo

 

Yea, let's sweep it under the rug like it never happened...but Obama's tan suit!

 

insurrectionists...trumpers best friends.

 

Anyone is Trump's best friend if they are his lawyers, those who slide him millions, and those who do his bidding, illegal or immoral as it may be.

 

It was four years ago. Move on.

 

What insurrection?

 

I guess you missed this.

 

Four years ago today, the United States changed forever

 

It was four years ago. Move on.

I was there on Jan. 6 — we cannot allow Trump to rewrite history

We are at a crossroads in this country.

Today, those of us who value our democracy will be reflecting on the violent insurrection Donald Trump instigated four years ago. At the same time, Congress will be certifying the results for Trump to once again become president of the United States. It is anticipated that Trump will pardon many of the insurrectionists who participated in the siege on Capitol “nine minutes” after taking office.

Is this not a betrayal of our government, our Constitution and our country? Do we no longer believe in accountability for the transgressions of extremists who desecrated the Capitol and attacked police officers under the banner of an authoritarian?

My colleagues and I who protected the Capitol that day don’t have the privilege of forgetting the Jan. 6 riot. To me, it still feels like it was yesterday.

I served in the U.S. Army and witnessed violence in combat, but I never thought I would see similar brutality inside the U.S. Capitol. I was assaulted by rioters for five hours. I was barricading the tunnels with my body, receiving blow after blow from rioters using makeshift weapons and stolen police gear. By the end, I was covered in my own blood. Exhausted, overwhelmed and trampled, I did not know whether I would make it home to see my wife and child. Those horrible memories are seared into my brain. I will never forget that feeling.

Like many other officers who served that day, I’ve spent years in mental and physical therapy — and have undergone two surgeries to heal from those wounds — but that feeling has never truly left me. It has altered the trajectory of my career and my life. Trump and his rioters not only stole my health but also the livelihoods of me and my fellow officers.

According to Trump and MAGA Republicans, Jan. 6, 2021, was a “day of love.” If being beaten and trampled by a violent mob is love, then Trump and the insurrectionists who attacked me under his banner nearly loved me to death. While serving that day, I wasn’t focused on the implications of the attack. I was simply doing my job.

Let me be very clear: Republicans in Congress do not support law enforcement if they support the pardons of those who attacked police officers and attempted to overthrow our government — the antithesis of law and order.

The officers who were gravely injured defending the Capitol can never forget that date. Republicans in Congress who don’t speak out against Trump and the atrocities of Jan. 6 have taken a stand against law enforcement, against the will of the voters, and against the Constitution.

Donald Trump ran for a second term to avoid accountability for his crimes. Republicans in Congress are complicit in his contempt for the rule of law. They don’t just want to move on from Jan. 6 — they want to suppress the indelible mark this blatant attack has left on American history. They can’t face the fact that their lies incited a fatal insurrection, and their negligence is a betrayal to the more than 140 police officers who were injured or died in the aftermath of the attack.

Until Donald Trump and the American people truly come to terms with how close we were to losing our democracy, the date may as well continue to read 1/6/2021.

I'll mark my calendar for 1/6/29 and we'll see how that turns out...if a Democrat wins I guarantee we'll see similar bullshit. Fake electors, GOP legislatures wanting to change the outcome, gridlock with GOP congressmen not accepting the results, and Supreme Court petitions.

Today will be smooth as butter only because the Democrats are the ones handing it off...

 

the guy who moved the lectern has the best shitposts

 

It was four years ago. Move on.

 

No new developments? MAGA has been on a four year campaign to rewrite their act of treason as one of patriotism. They still have half the country to convince, and something like 90% of the D&D. How are they going to rewrite the history if the main thread about it is closed? There are op-eds to be shared, and **** posts, and conspiracy theories, and unsupported insistences that everything has been misconstrued.

 

*sigh*. Nobody's re-writing history, and you know it. Nobody is sweeping anything under the rug. It's not even possible to do that. Just search the internet for it, and it's there. Many different views on it from many different people. Opinions are like a$$holes - everybody has one and they usually stink.

There are no new developments. Stop ripping off the band aid.

It was four years ago. Move on.

 

trump and his supporters are trying to.

you are free to move on if you want. nobody is forcing you to read this thread or post in it.

 

People say move on, forget about it. They weren't the ones beat and injured. Trump has constantly thrown it back in everyone's faces and pretending it was an act of love instead of admitting the truth. He is the one painting that a violent day as a day his followers were doing something patriotic. He is the one promising pardons for those he incited with his own lies to get what he wanted without dirtying his little hands. He is the one who persisted to play their anthem like they were heroes at his rally. That's the truth. Don't act stupid about it.
