"Don't take for granted how quiet the Capitol will be today.
It's because today in America, tragically, only one party respects elections. The other party uses and justifies violence to keep power.
Had Harris won, today likely would have been another bloodbath." ~ Senator Chris Murphey
January 6, 2021 was America’s Domestic Day of Infamy. The reaction of the party of Trump and more recently the indifference by the voting public brought the deepest shame and dishonor to our nation since the era of slavery.
We now have a convicted felon and insurrectionist for president!
Well done, America, home of the duped MAGA cult, low-information voters, and apathetic masses.
The greatest American tragedy of the 21st Century has been welcomed back, only to be compounded.
Just one example of the turncoat behavior is found in the words and actions of U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY).
He
once delivered the following remarks on the Senate floor:
January 6th was a disgrace. American citizens attacked their own government. They used terrorism to try to stop a specific piece of democratic business they did not like.
Fellow Americans beat and bloodied our own police. They stormed the Senate floor. They tried to hunt down the Speaker of the House. They built a gallows and chanted about murdering the Vice President. They did this because they had been fed wild falsehoods by the most powerful man on Earth — because he was angry he’d lost an election.
Former President Trump’s actions preceding the riot were a disgraceful dereliction of duty. There is no question, none, that President Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of that day.
The people who stormed this building believed they were acting on the wishes and instructions of their President. And their having that belief was a foreseeable consequence of the growing crescendo of false statements, conspiracy theories, and reckless hyperbole which the defeated President kept shouting into the largest megaphone on planet Earth.
The issue is not only the President’s intemperate language on January 6th. It is not just his endorsement of remarks in which an associate urged “trial by combat”. It was also the entire manufactured atmosphere of looming catastrophe; the increasingly wild myths about a reverse landslide election that was being stolen in some secret coup by our now-President.
I defended the President’s right to bring any complaints to our legal system. The legal system spoke. The Electoral College spoke. As I stood up and said clearly at the time, the election was settled.
But that reality just opened a new chapter of even wilder and more unfounded claims.
The leader of the free world cannot spend weeks thundering that shadowy forces are stealing our country and then feign surprise when people believe him and do reckless things. Sadly, many politicians sometimes make overheated comments or use metaphors that unhinged listeners might take literally.
This
was different. This was an intensifying crescendo of conspiracy theories,
orchestrated by an outgoing president who seemed determined to either overturn
the voters’ decision or else torch our institutions on the way out.
Those are some noble and honest words, long since evaporated into the fascist void of MAGA.
But McConnell’s actions spoke louder. He stole and filled two Supreme Court seats with Trump loyalists who defied our Constitution and destroyed our ideal of equal justice under law.
Then the morally feeble and spineless hypocrite proceeded to vote “not guilty” in Trump’s impeachment trial in the Senate. Finally he supported the convicted felon for reelection. The Republican Party and corrupt Supreme Court went on to renounce truth, decency, and the rule of law.
Sadly, America will not soon recover from their treachery, if ever.
It is up to the people of consciousness and conscience to endure and ultimately prevail over the evil darkness of lies and hate in the halls of power. If not, Putin won and America is lost.
Never
forget!

It’s astonishing how Democrats can’t accept defeat or take accountability. With Donald J. Trump returning to the White House, they’re directing their frustration and anger at one man: Attorney General Merrick Garland.
I believe you're lost anymouse.
You're looking for a MAGA cesspool of ignorance and delusion are you not?
Anonymous,
LOL!!! That is HILARIOUS!
What? You mean you're NOT joking?
You actually BELIEVE Trump graciously accepted his defeat in 2020 like Kamala did this past election?
If I recall correctly, didn't you and all of MAGA constantly direct your anger at Garland and the DOJ's "lawfare" for investigating the Trump Cartel's many CRIMES?
While we were frustrated with Garland slow-walking an investigation of Trump's crimes, we realize it didn't matter after Trump's corrupt Supreme Court Justices shredded our Constitution to grant him immunity, after he begged them for it.
There's no such thing as "presidential immunity" in our Constitution, but it will take decades for wiser, less corrupt Justices to reverse that travesty and mockery of our national ideal of "equal justice under law". The shameless pro-Trump partisan Justices corrupted those words carved over the entrance of the Supreme Court building into just another MAGA Big Lie.
I realize facts won't penetrate the skull of a low-information, poorly educated, gullible dupe of Donald Trump.
But we can certainly LAUGH at your blatant projection, willful ignorance, and utterly idiotic foolishness.
Les,
MAGA cultists are well-known for the inability and unwillingness to read.
I'm willing to bet that Anonymous didn't even make it through Sen. Murphey's statement.
"Don't take for granted how quiet the Capitol will be today. It's because today in America, tragically, only one party respects elections. The other party uses and justifies violence to keep power. Had Harris won, today likely would have been another bloodbath."
Here is video that the MAGA cult dreads and doesn't want anyone to see:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iludfj6Pe7w&t=73s
Dave, that video just shows the police and the FBI plants inviting good, God fearing Americans into their House for a little tourist visit.
All we need to know to understand the current Trumpublican Party is that its followers admire a convicted felon and adjudicated sexual assaulter over a woman who, in her role as a prosecutor, put low-life crooks like Trump in prison for their crimes.
Thanks to the Trumpublican Party, miscreants, swindlers, and scoundrels are the role models for our children. If you lie and cheat your way to the top, you'll get rewarded by "the poorly educated" who Trump himself says he loves.
And why wouldn't he. They put him where he is.
Dave,
Yes, it was plain as day right before our eyes! Innocent patriots defending our freedom.
Shaw,
It's no wonder Trump's cultists emulate their malevolent mendacious messiah. His word is their Dark Gospel and they eagerly base their behavior on his lies and hate.
And man, do they ever HATE us. In fact you're quite popular in many of their comments the try to post here. Along with Les and Dave M. we are all apparently equally DUMB and STUPID. Just like Kamala. They just can't offer any quote or evidence as proof. Imagine that.
So, OK then. I'll take the compliment. As FDR said of the Republican economic elites who called him a commie, too, "I welcome their hatred".
Beware of false knowledge; it is more dangerous than ignorance.”-- George Bernard Shaw
“Progressive, liberal, Socialist, Marxist, Democratic Socialist -- they are all COMMUNISTS.”
Anonymous,
Thanks for the Shaw quote and your excellent example of the deranged and false knowledge that only fascists embrace.
That kind of idiotic and demonizing lie is a foundation for the bottomless hate at the core of every fascist and neo-Nazi. They hate millions of decent fellow Americans because they are bigots who believe Trump's words are gospel. Yet these CINOs call themselves "Christians".
This profound level of false knowledge, (lies presented by Trumpists as "alternative facts") willful ignorance, and seething hate is what tears a country apart. It's the direct opposite of both patriotism and the teachings of Jesus. It's the reason why Trump said, "I love the poorly educated".
"The liar's punishment is, not in the least that he is not believed, but that he cannot believe anyone else." - Shaw
It's insane this is a response to a post about MAGA flipping out about losing.
TB3,
"Trump Derangement Syndrome" is the hallmark of MAGA. And it is how they project their unthinking delusional embrace of Trump's lies.
Interesting - I see some uncomfortable concern in some MAGA blogs.
'I voted for him on the economy, not all this crazy stuff' for example.
BB,
Those low-information people had to ignore a lot of crazy and criminal behavior to naively believe Trump could bring down prices. Obviously they drank the koolaid that blamed Biden for the global inflation that was caused by the pandemic supply chain issues and corporate greed.
Wait until Trump deports migrant farm workers and food prices shoot up even higher. I bet they didn't think about that either.
It's astonishing how un-serious you are trying to engage in political discourse.
Yeah, they may have said that, but they have no idea what "the economy" was/is/will be. 4 years of gaslighting convinced them the Trump years weren't an insane, embarrassing mess for our society, culture, economy, and stature in the world and it was far better than how stellar the last four years have been with adults in charge.
A lot of people didn't think clearly. A lot of people continue to not think clearly.
You Knowb Who and the oligarchs who will be running the country are bringing much negativity, greed, and ignorance to the surface for all to see and suffer under. America chose its poison. It now will get exactly what it voted for.
Maybe (with any luck) when the goons of MAGA get through destroying the remarkably excellent work the Biden Administration accomplished under much less than ideal circumstances the nation's backlash will ultimately destroy MAGA and the trumpublican party for good. It should be the goal of every patriotic America to work to see that happens.
Dave, it's helpful to remember what the GOP immediately after the events of Jan 6...
From big time MAGA supporter Erick Erickson in January 2021.
"The insurrectionists, having constructed the gallows and hung a noose, entered the Capitol calling for Vice President Mike Pence to show himself."
"Shoot the protestors.Waive the rules, impeach. Waive the rules, convict. Waive the rules, deny the ability to run again."
From GOP Senate Leader Mitch McConnell in February 2021, speaking of Trump...
It, [Trump's failure to act for three hours on J6,] was a "disgraceful, disgraceful dereliction of duty.”
“There’s no question — none — that President Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day [Jan 6]. No question about it. The people who stormed this building believed they were acting on the wishes and instructions of their president... The leader of the free world cannot spend weeks thundering that shadowy forces are stealing our country and then feign surprise when people believe him and do reckless things.”
From GOP Senator Lindsey Graham, speaking to Capitol Police Officer Fanone on Jan 6 said...
“We gave you guys [the DC Capitol Police] guns, and you should have used them... you should have shot them all in the head..."
You see Dave, in the heat of the moment, the GOP saw the threat on Jan 6 and knew it was bad. As bad as us crazy progressives say it was. The Senate investigation, led by the GOP called the events of that "brutal, savage and illegal".
But then reality set in for them... how could they win another election if they looked complicit in Jan 6 by enabling Trump, so they jettisoned their criticisms of him pretty quickly.
Within a few weeks of Jan 6, the reimagining of those horrible events had begun, the transformation of an insurrectionist riot was well underway into becoming a "Day of Love" as Trump calls it.
And all was forgiven and forgotten by the GOP and MAGA Land.
TB3,
Right. And most of them will be easily duped into voting for more Republicans in the midterms and Vance in 4 years.
Les,
The American people are addicted to the lies of the radical Right. As with all addictions, rock bottom must be hit before they examine their beliefs and behavior. And most won't even know it when the country bottoms out. In fact they will likely blame Democrats. They are that far detached from reality.
Dave,
The hypocrisy and subservience to Trump by the Republican Party is the greatest betrayal of our Constitution and rule of law. It goes all the way up from the least educated bumpkin to Congress and finally infecting the Supreme Court with their fascist doctrine of immunity for their Fuhrer.
I can't see any way to reverse the fascist takeover in my lifetime.
Sorry, kids and young adults. You could have helped stop this, but too many of you were busy staring at your smart phones and sucking up social media bullshit. Good luck with your future socio-economic catastrophes and loss of retirement and healthcare safety nets.
You may as well get used to the idea of severe austerity and working until you collapse or die.
We tried to warn you.
A resident rant from a hotel in California, after the LA wildfires forced him to evacuate from his home, where he predicts Hollywood leftists will be so frustrated by the rebuild effort that they will NOT VOTE Democrat: also said: "You guys all voted for Karen Bass, the mayor of Los Angeles. And You All Voted for Gavin Newsom, and now you are getting SCREWED you are getting what you asked for, now that your house is destroyed by fire and we don’t have any water. .
So here's what's going to happen. All these people who are deep blue Democrats are now going to have to pull a permit to rebuild, and they're going to get the 28 year old bitch from the Coastal Commission telling them to go screw off and then they're going to vote for Trump and then Vote for whoever's the next Trump start getting smart about the way the democrats have NOT treated us. , they are all Nuts! nuts. And when they start running into the bureaucracy and the red tape, they're going to start going nuts and they're going to vote for Rick Caruso next time.
They're going to find out they're going to get bit by their own snake. They're going to convert. I am telling you, these are the bluest people on the planet and they're going to be fucking rip shit pissed when the City and the Coastal Commission tell them to screw off.
We're going to have to restructure the whole thing because we can't have nine angry lesbians controlling everything that goes on in Malibu, the Palisades and Santa Monica."
This is why us Californians pay the highest taxes: So that their government can completely fail us in their time of need.
It's good to see you now support more socialized government aid to people in need, especially when disaster strikes close to home.
Why do you blame democrats for fires in California but not Republicans for the hurricanes? Both are made worse by GOP global warming policies.
How convenient of you to forget another fact.
When he was president your malevolent mendacious messiah refused to allow federal aid to California for not voting for him.
What you are doing is projecting Trump's evil hate and punishment for people who don't vote for him.

"Trump Administration Refuses To Give California Federal Aid For Wildfires"
There is no cure for wilfull ignorance. And You Know Who just loves ignorant folks. They all apparently voted for him.
Did you expect ANYONE WITH A BRAIN ON THEIR SHOULDERS YO BOTE FOR KAMALA HARRIS!
No one with a brain knows not to vote for Kamala!
Les,
Aww. Look how Anonymous makes your point with his low IQ and 3rd grade writing level.
It appears like he's saying only brainless people know not to vote for Kamala.
LOL!
I would have to agree with him on that!
Isn't it odd that none of our Trumpist friends cared to discuss the subject of this post titled "Never Forget"?
It's almost as if they'd prefer to forget Trump's betrayal of the ideals our country stands for. They seem reluctant to recognize the day of Trump's egregious and criminal dereliction of duty that terminated our nation's honorable history of peaceful transfer of power and equal justice under law.
I welcome their good faith discussion and any information they'd like to share with us. Surely they would love to offer us the facts that would illustrate how we just didn't get it, and why we still misunderstand Trump's Putsch on his MAGA Day of Infamy.
The open invitation stands.
Well Dave, for me anyway it stands the test of reason that the MAGAts, like You Know Who, are concerned only with their own interests and not the greater good. Their vision, if they even have a cohesive vision, likely mirrors that of their malignant narcissistic leader in decline.
8 more days until the Albatross of Chaos begins to take America down his path to decline and suffering..
Les,
Wait until the cult finds out THEY will also be on the losing end of Trump's fascist oligarchy. They're so morally sick they'll tolerate anything just to see people they hate suffer.
Yeah Dave, what i find interesting is the low information MAGA cult is so deluded and entrenched in their delusions that they are oblivious to seeing they themselves are going to face the very same decline in their standard of living we are going to experience, the result of You Know Who's Project 2025, tariffs, and the intentional funneling greater wealth to the billionaire oligarchs.
I can't deal with these Stupid, Stubborn , Idiotic, people anymore. I voted for Trump. And wanted to see the Leftist Moronic people like Biden, and his Crooked Son, , and Kamala, and Schumer and the rest of them OUT and now that Trump has been elected, I hope he crushes the woke Progressive Left.
Can anyone anywhere tell me what these Phony, Destructive, Progressives have done to make life better for anyone other than their own elites mouthing bullshit platitudes?
The list of Massive Progressive Fails is a long one. But the fires in LA and the open Borders have loaded our country with racist rape gangs, murderers, and druggies who are is beyond the pale. And the parades of picketing anti-Semitic pro-Palestinian bullshit of the Far Left is disgusting, and an insult to every American in this country. .
My brother is poor and handicapped. Vietnam Vet, He has lived on the street. A few years ago, he was able to live on his own. But because those assholes Biden, and Newcom has let over 21 million people into America over the past 3-4 years, he can no longer afford rent, which has soared 40% in 18 months.
Also, I'm so freaken pissed off at those progressives that write that stupid Crap, filled with Hate, and Lies in those dumb blogs get writers cramp and can’t write anymore. .
Sheer incompetence. That's the progressive legacy. I hope they feel what they have done to this one time wonderful Country, and I hope that Donald Trump can make this Country Great Again, and that these Creeps in Washington like Chuck Schumer and Adam Schiff, Kamala the Commie Harris and the rest of those Morons never win another election again.
Dave Dubya, I'm personally sick of reading your bullshit, and your infantile Lies. if you love Communism so much, and you'd rather want to live in a Communist society, I'd suggest that you SWIM TO CUBA! And if you can make it there, then please STAY THERE!
What a Coincidence!
President Trump gives Hamas a warning, and Bingo!
They are ready to make a deal to release the Hostages!
Thank You Donald Trump.
President Trump threatens "HELL TO PAY" if Gaza hostages not released before inauguration, And BINGO, they are going to be released!
We have numbnuts Biden up there trying to say he's doing it when they sat on their ass for how long doing absolutely nothing until Papa Trump stepped in and took care of it, and as usual HE WON!
Well Dave, when you get back, a new man will be in the White House. Good or bad, we shall see. But you enjoined us to never forget in your title of this post.
Thinking on that, what do we do with sincere people who post stuff like this, truly believing it...
"I’m [the blogger] going to go out on a limb and say REPUBLICANS DON’T ACT LIKE SPOILED BRATS WHEN WE LOSE."
I guess rioting, police beatings and vandalism of the Capitol by ppl who lost the election is not acting like spoiled brats.
I guess refusal to accept the results of, according to the Trump Administration, the most open, free and fair election we've had is not acting like spoiled brats.
Have they already forgotten? Or are they denying even the existence of those actions?
Welcome back!
Patrick,
You're not even aware of how FUNNY your first two sentences were!
"I can't deal with these Stupid, Stubborn , Idiotic, people anymore. I voted for Trump."
It's because Trump declared, "I LOVE the poorly educated".
That means YOU, Pat.
You're too willfully IGNORANT to know Biden passed an infrastructure law that Trump promised, but FAILED to deliver. Biden brought Medicare insulin prices down for Americans in need of it, while Trump will try to send the price back up. Biden offered to sign a border bill that Trump ordered to be KILLLED.
And what the hell makes you think poor immigrants raise rents they can't even afford?
And if I wrote something filled with hate and lies, why can't YOU cite any of it to support your hateful false accusations?
Only ignorant neo-Nazis call democrats commies. YOU are showing us you are one of them.
Now you want more SOCIALIZED benefits for your brother. Good for YOU. My brother fought over there, and you're so stupid you'd call him a commie, too.
What you REALLY hate about people like me is the fact we see YOU for what you clearly demonstrate for us. Hint: See the Dunning Kruger Effect.
Sal,
It amazes me that so many ignorant Americans have no clue that for the past 15 months Gazans have been suffering through the hell that Trump threatens to put them through. (He wouldn't, but Netanyahu already DID!)
Rocko,
Thanks for NOT reading or UNDERSTANDING what I write.
You can't even cite a single lie, or a statement where I support communism.
You just sound like another neo-Nazi idiot who has no clue what communism is, but needs to use the word to justify your own fascist hate.
Communist countries are run by dictators. Now YOU want Trump for America's dictator. Seems like YOU are far more communist than I am. LOL!
Ignorant Trump worshippers don't want to know facts.
https://theintercept.com/2025/01/15/israel-hamas-ceasefire-biden-netanyahu-deaths/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=The%20Intercept%20Newsletter
"A Deal Too Late: Israel Agrees to the Ceasefire It Rejected Months Ago, Thousands More Died"
Israel and Hamas reached a ceasefire deal on almost entirely the same terms as a proposal that fell apart in the summer.
As President Joe Biden announced the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas from the White House on Wednesday, he repeated a key detail throughout his address: that the deal accepted today was the same deal he helped put on the table in May.
Dave, did you giving docking privilege to Plato's "Ship of Fools"?
These guys are rich. Their "lack of the intellectual tools to make a coherent argument" as MAGA Troll Peter puts it. They are great examples of ppl lacking in smarts as Elon "Take a big step back and F*#K YOURSELF in the face" Musk and Vivek We've "venerated mediocrity over excellence" Ramaswamy have both stated speaking of MAGA backers.
Patrick however did ask a reasonable question... "Can anyone anywhere tell me what these Phony, Destructive, Progressives have done to make life better for anyone other than their own elites mouthing bullshit platitudes?"</b.
Here's a reasonable list, all based in fact as we begin the Trump Presidency...
-Lowest unemployment in a generation
-Most oil ever pumped, the most energy ever produced in the history of the planet
-A booming economy, the envy of the developed world
-Highest stock market ever, continuing a historic run
-Successful rollout of Trump's Operation Warp Speed Covid-19 vaccine.
-A soft landing of the economy after the Trump ordered shut down for the Covid-19 pandemic
-Signed Bi-Partisan legislation to invest over $250 billion in scientific research and rapidly spur US manufacturing of cutting-edge semiconductors.
-Signed the Bi-Partisan $1.3 trillion infrastructure bill, that invests primarily in deep red, mostly GOP dominated states.
-Limited the cost of insulin to $35.00.
All of these are easily verifiable guys. Biden got them done. Trump said throughout his first Admin that his investment in infrastructure, "Infrastructure Week" as he called it, was just around the corner. Biden, working with the GOP, got it done. The Trump Admin is now working to repeal that law. Why?
For years politicians and hi tech businessmen have decried the lack of US production of semiconductors. Biden got it done. Now GOP leadership is trying to repeal those gains. Why?
And the law Biden signed to lower drug prices and allow the US Government to negotiate better prices for Medicare and Medicaid customers and save us money? You guessed it, Trump has signed an EO to cut back on that ability. Again, why?
Biden was not perfect, especially as it relates to inflation, which soared to its highest level since the Reagan presidency, and the border, which saw record illegal crossings. But to say he did nothing good for America and left us a ton of problems is to ignore reality.
Regardless of your politics.
Dave,
Ironically, their projection, of "lack of the intellectual tools to make a coherent argument" nails them to their willful ignorance.
They don't WANT to know that post-pandemic inflation was GLOBAL and it resulted from corporate greed and supply chain issues with a rapid growth of consumer demand far more than from Biden's policies.
Nope. they just blame Biden, as instructed by their cult leaders. BTW, Biden's biggest mistake was his too little/too late poor handling of immigration. Note how the Trumpists refuse to admit Trump killed the best border funding bill in history. Ignoring reality to fuel their hate and blame game, will ALWAYS be their MO. Scapegoating, hate, and demonization are fundamental elements of fascism.
At the core of their deficits in learning and feeble intellectual tools is their utter lack of curiosity. In their indoctrinated narrow-minded arrogance they already FEEL they KNOW everything. And by "know" I mean their regurgitation of radical right propaganda.
Stephen Colbert nailed it when he said, "Reality has a well-known liberal bias". This is why a fascist cult needs to reject reality to follow its leader.
Dave, as we think about the post covid inflation, I'm open to and some days lean to the various stimulus plans from both Trump AND Biden, led to the super heated inflation we saw.
But those stimulus plans alsoi had another result. They kept many Americans afloat during an extremely tough time.
If people want to gripe how bad inflation was, and it was bad, fine. But then what should we have done? Left Americans to lose their homes? Get kicked out of rental properties? Not feed their kids?
I work in a country that simply does not offer real aid to their citizens. I saw senior citizens and others die, not directly from Covid, although that killed plenty as well, but from hunger. Because they could not afford to buy food. Food that in reality didn't exist because of the worldwide lockdowns.
Look, in the end, Trump made some good decisions during the pandemic and some bad ones. Same with Biden. I want to be charitable and say we, all of us, did the best we could with the information we had.
As for the border, I've got lots of experience in that area and it's been a mess for decades. Simply put, corporate America does not want a solution. Because as America was during the slavery years, we are all still addicted to cheap labor. Why? Look at the results of inflation.
Once we start paying everyone at a rate that insures not just survival, but and opportunity to flourish, life gets expensive. JoMala, as an old union guy, will get it. Others not so much.
Amazing how much of this is connected. Sure, let's cut out all the immigrants, both legal and illegal as the Trump team wants. How you gonna rebuild Los Angeles? Or the next disaster area without immigrant labor?
And with a labor shortage, which we already have in the west, prices go up, or inflate.
But that's a lot of thinking.
Dave,
It is inevitable that Trump will crash the economy with his crazed agenda. But we can take comfort knowing he and his fellow sociopaths and oligarchs will profit no matter what. That's how fascism works. The Krupps didn't go broke under Hitler until the country was demolished. (Henry Ford also did well with his fellow Nazis.)
'"EVERYONE with a brain knows NOT to vote for Kamala!"
AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHY SHE LOST....... BIG TIME!
Maga Gal,
Who can question your intellect and profound depth of understanding, amirite?
You're the evidence that too many Americans are too stupid, indifferent, apathetic and ignorant to remember Trump's criminal record and violent attempt to overturn the 2020 election when he LOST BIG TIME! Then he LIED about it because of his emotional immaturity.
In fact Harris won a higher percentage of the votes in 2024 than Trump did in 2020. Trump FAILED to win 50% of the votes.
2020:
Biden 51.3%
81,283,501 Popular votes
Trump 46.8%
74,223,975 Popular votes
2024:
Harris:
48.3% of popular vote
(74,700,293 votes)
Trump:
49.9% of popular vote
(77,133,674 votes)
But I'm sure your highly developed brain already knows this... :-)
"Never Forget..." such a good sentiment Dave.
Sadly we've now got a Jan 6 denier/plotter/conspiracy buff investigating the investigators of that dark day in history. good call President Trump.
What are we to think?
When politicians say they have not seen any video of the beatings that took place that day, so they are not sure they even happened, what are we to do?
Honestly I feel like we need a reasonability test before even engaging some of these folks. Like...
1. Was there a riot at the US Capitol on Jan 6, 2021.
2. Were police officers beat, injured and maimed trying to keep the rioters out of the US Capitol on Jan 6.
3. Do you believe anyone who beats or injures a police officer deserves a prison sentence and record?
4. Have you made it a priority to watch any of the video, or read the GOP led US Senate report of what happened that day.
That's it.
4 simple questions. Any no answer should DQ you from reasonable conversation. Because you are either an
A. Uncritically partisan
B. Uninformed
C. Dishonest
or...
D. All of the above.
Dave, here's a useful article on the Jan 6 pardons... I know the MAGA folks will pooh pooh it, but I doubt you'll see any factual claims in their rebuttals, or see a response loaded with links as is Saletan's article.
Dave,
Thanks for the link.
We are trapped under a criminal president, granted immunity by a corrupt supreme court, with his gang of incompetent political hit men ready to do their worst for their malevolent mendacious messiah whose every word is gospel to them. None dare disagree with the Felonious Fuhrer.
As the late great George Carlin said, "This country is finished". It's pretty hard to disagree with that.
I JUST WANTED TO MENTION THAT YOU are Product of.s POS. You were also "Proud Off" Joe Biden The Asshole who stole, Lied, and almost bankrupted this country!
Anonymous,
No facts required, amirite?
Thank you for your immaturity, hate, emotional instability, and utter ignorance.
You are Pure MAGA that confirms Trump's approval when he said, "I love the poorly educated!"
Wow Dave, the above anymouse must have spent its ignorant and fully delusional life marinating in seething hate. What a perfect representation of what the Narcissist Bone Spur Felon prez has unleashed on America.
Les,
While they marinate in their mindless hate, racism and bigotry, we'll be watching their insane reactions when Trump crashes our economy. (We already KNOW who they will blame, don't we?)
Anonymous @1/31/25 10:23AM is your typical uninformed, raging MAGA bampot.
Of course. In spite of the mountains of verifiable economic realities to the contrary.
I hear Oh Canada ringing in my ears and head. I think the universe is sending me a message.
The Cult is becoming more deranged every day.
Check out this classic Dunning-Kruger style of projection from Sal at Lisa's Latrine:
"One Again As President Trump Has Predicted ,the Democratic Communist National Committee Dumps on Americans who want to protect themselves against Tyranny, Criminals, Crazies, and Terrorists
It’s a dangerous and often destructive force in politics and society. At its core, demagoguery preys on ignorance and division, pushing people to act based on irrational impulses rather than reason.
