    It’s an indirect admittance of guilt. You don’t erase your victories from history, you erase your faillures.

    PLEASE just someone tell him WW3 started and he has to stay in the bunker until he dies. The Vatican figured out how to “retire” a pope, the US Gov can do the same.

        But imagine him being the only one that doesn’t know!! They’d probably need an AI to feed him fake tweets, because the Internet would totally still be functional after WW3 in his “brain”.

    The media is complicit every time they use “riot,” instead of “coup attempt.”

      Right after Jan 6, I started posting how important it was to not refer to the incident as a ”riot," or a “coup,” or anything other than an “Insurrection.” That’s the word used in the 14th Amendment, Section 3, which prohibits those participating in an Insurrection from holding elected office. It was important then to characterize it as an Insurrection (which it was) then, and it’s important now.

      LOL it wasn’t even a riot.
      They entered a building with little to no resistance.
      Americans are feeble and weak, incapable of a coup attempt.
      You would give up immediate when it gets tough.

          I literally saw the cops gesturing to those losers and letting them in to the capitol.
          I didn’t care to watch much more of this cringe spectacle, just laughed at the pathetic clownshow that is your banana republic.
          Couldn’t care less about it, it only provides entertainment and a source of ridicule.

            So there were some sympathetic, complicit cops, that doesn’t negate the breathtaking violence that was happening everywhere else.

            All you know about it is the very selective coverage by the Conservative Propaganda Machine, which edited tens of thousands of hours of footage down to a few minutes. If you watched the actual Insurrection, which I did from start to finish, you saw plenty of vicious violence against the cops.

            Just because you have decided to voluntarily remain ignorant of the truth and embrace treason, doesn’t mean intelligent, patriotic people have to go along with it.

      Pretty well, actually. Ask a Chinese teen if they know what happened on that day or if they recognize the Tank Man photo.

    What is funny is they said it was ANTIFA BLM so then was it ANTIFA BLM in prison that TRUMP pardoned?

    And if he’s pardoned someone for something that didn’t happen then is the pardon legit?

    “This is where there’s a clear difference between Democrats and Republicans,” the House Minority Leader said. “House Democrats have made it clear, we are going to respect and honor those law enforcement officials and police officers who defending this capitol on January 6th”

    They’re missing a word there. Wonder what it was. Anyway, obligatory thoughts and prayers for the legally mandated plaque.

      It’s incredible how all Democrats did with January 6th is turn it into another occasion to worship the police.

    It’s working. At home in front of the TV, Frank Freeway and Mary Minivan have already forgotten.

    LOL, of all the people.
    “install a legally mandated plaque honoring police officers who defended the Capitol”
    Honoring pigs, the ones with a majority voting for him and plenty of videos of them actually helping those ‘rioters’ removing barriers and showing them where they could enter.
    Nothing about that in any media, also not from dems.
    Yankees sure love their cops and boot.
