Never Forget the Jan. 6 Trump Insurrection

“Book ‘em, Danno!” Trials are beginning in federal courts for some of the hundreds of people arrested in connection with the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, when a mob of Donald Trump loyalists attacked police and unlawfully entered the structure in a mad effort to overturn the results of the 2020 election. Trump’s supporters brought domestic terrorism to Capitol Hill and lawlessly besmirched a building that is the symbol of American government and the rule of law.
More than 500 people have been arrested in the aftermath of the insurrection. Hundreds of federal court battles will be a slow process, but the process has begun. On July 19, defendant Paul Hodgkins received eight months in prison after he pleaded guilty to obstruction of the congressional business of certifying electoral votes that gave Joe Biden the White House and Trump an eviction notice. Hodgkins was part of the MAGA mob that trespassed onto the Senate floor during the right-wing riot on Jan. 6. At the time, he carried a Trump flag and wore a backpack containing rope and latex gloves. “When a mob is prepared to attack the Capitol, democracy is in trouble,” said Judge Randolph Moss, who presided over the case.
A longer federal prison sentence is expected for Scott Fairlamb, who could receive up to 51 months behind bars for assaulting police and obstructing Congress when he is sentenced soon. So far only six Capitol Hill insurrectionists have been sentenced, and sentences have been relatively light. That trend could change for defendant Fairlamb and the scores of other accused rioters who will be brought to trial as the wheels of justice grind slowly toward verdicts, not vindication, for the MAGA mobsters.
On July 27, the eyes of the nation were again focused on Capitol Hill as four policemen, who were on duty during the Jan. 6 riot, testified to Congress about the mob violence that was directed against them during the MAGA melee. The cops told harrowing tales of being beaten, tased and sprayed with chemical irritants by sore loser Trump troops who invaded the Capitol. The lawless conduct of Trump supporters who have long claimed to “Back the Blue” and “support law enforcement” was on full display in Washington during their attempt to overturn the 2020 election.
Earlier this month, Congressional Gold Medals were awarded to the police officers who defended the Capitol on Jan. 6, but 21 Republican representatives voted against the much-deserved honor. Not surprisingly, Georgia representatives Andrew Clyde, Jody Hice and Marjorie Taylor Greene were among those who voted against awarding gold medals to the officers. Clyde, Hice and Greene are a truculent trio of apologists for Trump’s troublemakers who stormed the Capitol on that deadly day in January. They and most of their fellow congressional Republicans have attempted to mitigate and downplay the insurrection ever since it happened, but as President Biden said of the crimes of Jan. 6, “The tragedy that day deserves the truth above all else. We cannot allow history to be rewritten.”
Republican politicians who deny the events of Jan. 6 are indeed trying to rewrite history that was viewed by millions of Americans as it happened. They call Democrats a socialist party even as their own Republican Party shows more and more fealty to the fascism of white supremacy and militia mentality. Such politicians should read the dystopian writings of novelists George Orwell and Sinclair Lewis. In his chilling novel of authoritarianism, 1984, Orwell wrote of political apparatchiks who deny reality, decry reform and distort history: “Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.” In It Can’t Happen Here, his tale of a fascist dictatorship in America, Lewis wrote words in the 1930s that apply to this nation today: “A country that tolerates evil means—evil manners, standards of ethics—for a generation will be so poisoned that it will never have any good end.”

How does one never forget something that never happened?
If that means Not Worth Reading I agree. Writers like this prove to be illiterate in the first few sentences. Talking head TV fools use the term 'insurrection' because it sounds so scary. These are generally people that think cops murdering innocents is OK until it's their daughter or sister.
Too much reality, always brings on the silent treatment.

Your last paragraph certainly caught my eye. The rest of your rant was just bull shot and nothing else. As far as those cops are concerned, they were nothing more than pelosi henchmen.Your rant carried on for several blah paragraphs. you used Trumps name until it got boring. But when they had their investigation they never mentioned pelosi involvement. I personally believe pelosi is the most infamous agitator in washington, d.c. After all her mafia up bringing taught her all the skills she needed.
Orwell certainly described the demoRAT party to a t. Then you used Lewis, A country that tolerates evil means, evil manners, no standard of ethics for a generation will, in my words, destroy the nation.
As for Trump, few man in history have been maligned more than TRUMP. We the people have even had a presidential election stolen from him and the citizens of this nation by things like you who support the big lie and running your smart mouth. Its a shame there are so many stupid people in this country.

Reality:
FBI FINDS SCANT EVIDENCE OF ANY COORDINATION ON JAN 6, HARDLY THE INSURRECTION THE MEDIA WANTED YOU TO BELIEVE
Corroboration from an FBI report on the Jan. 6 riots has concluded that the storming of the U.S. Capitol bore no relation to a political agenda devised by the GOP, or former President Trump.
Per the reporting, “Senior lawmakers have been briefed in detail on the results of the FBI’s investigation so far and find them credible.”
Allegations of a Trump-inspired insurrection have poured out from heads of Congress, the Biden President, and has also become the primary selling point for MSNBC or CNN to stir division in the nation.
Democrats have long finagled their rhetoric to assign an anti-America agenda to members of the Republic Party; desperately attempting to stick an Insurrectionist label on the only segment of the population proud to hang an American flag, or sing the national anthem without reaching a boiling point.
