Thought For The Day

Never Forget

January 6, 2024

Three years ago today disgraced, twice-impeached, four-time-indicted (so far), failed insurrection leader and Fifth-Amendment-dependent ex-one-term-president Donald Trump incited his cult members to lay siege to the Capitol for the purpose of short-circuiting the final step in the peaceful transition of power consequent to a free and fair election in which Trump was trounced by the American people who, for the second time, handed the popular vote to someone running against him – previously Hillary Clinton, and in this case, Joseph R. Biden.

Not everyone agrees that the assault on the Capitol was a bad thing, many people were, and even more are now saying, that it was nothing more than a typical tourist visit. I'll let Al Franken help sort it all out...

On that day, one hundred and forty-seven white male Ratpublican members of Congress (with the exception of there being 18 white women and 2 Black men among them), including the current speaker of the House and his immediate predecessor, voted for the insurrection and the overturning of the election. Nearly every single one of these sick and sickening traitors remains in Congress. And most of these fuckwads are now insurrection deniers, even some of those who had to change their shorts after they ran for their lives to avoid, let's call it close contact, with their very fine constituents.

Trump’s insurrection continues to this day.

You can easily see why 25% of Americans believe that all the angry
white people storming the Capitol were Antifa and BLM…oh, and FBI

As if you needed further proof that Black Lives Matter was to blame for the assault on the Capitol...

On the eve of the Civil War a mob tried to break into the Capitol to disrupt the electoral vote count following the 1860 United States presidential election. Sound familiar? Capitol security blocked their entry, so the mob stood outside yelling insults at the head of the Capitol's security force. Capitol security was not nearly so lucky or successful three years ago – possibly on the eve of a second Civil War here at home.

Later today, Donald “Death to America” Trump will be holding one of his Bund rallies to officially launch his campaign to end democracy in America and celebrate what most Americans see as one of the two darkest days in most of our lifetimes.

May no one have mercy on his “soul.”
