Are Dems really trying to turn Jan 6 into 9/11?
- Thread starter VEGASDESERT
- Start date
For two decades, prominent Democrats have attacked the legitimacy of American elections. They claimed that the 2000 election was stolen from Al Gore. They indulged ridiculous fantasies about Ohio being stolen in 2004, resulting in dozens of Democratic members of Congress objecting to counting its electoral votes. Many of those Democrats are now powerful committee chairs, including the chair of the committee investigating January 6. Violent protests marred Trump’s inauguration, and leading Democrats denounced him as illegitimate. Polls showed that supermajorities of Democratic voters believed that Russian hackers stole the 2016 election from Hillary Clinton, and she has given every indication that she shares that view. In 2018, Stacey Abrams was anointed a hero by her party for refusing to accept the legitimacy of her loss of a governor’s race. It would have been wrong for Trump to emulate this behavior; but he went well beyond what even the most reckless Democrat has done in contesting an election.
Left-wing mobs have targeted the workings of government, for example overwhelming the Wisconsin state capitol in 2011 to protest Scott Walker’s union-dues bill. Republican legislators had to be evacuated by police, as Democratic legislators egged on the mob. In 2018, protesters repeatedly disrupted the Brett Kavanaugh hearings, chased Republican senators down hallways and into elevators, accosted them in restaurants, and broke through Capitol barricades, resulting in hundreds of arrests. Law enforcement was unduly lax in punishing these offenses against democratic self-government.
In the summer of 2020, riots convulsed many American cities with courthouses and businesses burned and police assaulted. Democratic politicians pandered shamefully to the rioters and in many cases went easy on prosecuting them. Media outlets expressed horror at deploying police and the National Guard to restore order. The conflict between the Trump administration and D.C. mayor Muriel Bowser over the summer of 2020 seems to have contributed particularly to the sluggish response to the Capitol riot. There is significant force to the claim that Democrats have forged a two-tiered justice system in which the radical Left gets a comparative pass for politically motivated violence. But then, two wrongs do not make a right.
The January 6 anniversary calls for serious reflection on how it happened and why it failed. Unfortunately, Democratic politicians and their media allies prefer hysteria, hyperbole, and crass opportunism.
Democrats intend to use the January 6 anniversary to pressure two of their own senators (Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona) to join them in abolishing the filibuster for the purpose of enabling a federal takeover of voting and elections, the suppression of political speech, and radical reform of everything from congressional districts to judicial ethics. This is cynical politics. If they were serious, they would instead focus on reforming the Electoral Count Act
This is a loss of perspective. In 1915, a former Harvard professor set off a bomb at the Capitol and shot J. P. Morgan. In 1954, five congressmen were shot by Puerto Rican nationalists in the House chamber. In the early 1970s, the left-wing Weather Underground set off bombs at the Capitol, the Pentagon, and the State Department. In 1983–84, the Communist group M19 bombed the Capitol, an FBI office, and Fort McNair and the Navy Yard in D.C. In 2001, 3,000 people died on 9/11, air travel was grounded across the country, the president was shuttled to a secure location, and a wing of the Pentagon was destroyed. In 2017, a gun-toting Bernie Sanders supporter attempted to massacre Republican congressmen at a baseball practice, gravely wounding Steve Scalise, the Republican House whip.

Total whitewashing of January 6th by way of false equivalency.
Democrats never attempted to break faith with the constitution. Never. On January 6th republicans tried to do so inside and outside of congress. Republicans continue to lay the groundwork to break faith with the constitution with laws to overrule the will of the people’s vote in various states.
Issues in Florida were meritorious and Ohio was marginal, in neither of those instances was there a coordinated, planned attempt. No one was building gallows or chanting hang Mike Pence. None of the protests cited engaged in a violent attack and threatened the lives of officials.
Pelosi certainly did her part to keep the scam going today.
Dick Cheney showed up on the House floor because - well - his daughter is up to arse in the scam and he wanted to protect her as much as possible from her inevitable defeat later this year. Whatever.
Anyway, Pelosi gets up from her throne and goes over to greet Dick Cheney as though Cheney were General McArthur returning to the Phillipines. Just as a reminder for those who may have been too young or who may be a democrat so were most likely too stoned to remember: This is the same Pelosi who never saw a day in DC during the Bush Era when she did not call Dick Cheney a war criminal and a human rights violator for allegedly torturing her terrorist buddies. I guess in the end, love has prevailed and now Pelosi greets Dick as a long lost soul mate.
All Hail Dick Cheney!!! Thou hast come to protecteth thy daughter from the evil spell upon her house - cast by The Trump.

Lol,
When you boil it down, the swap infests both sides of the aisle.
Indeed. Although the GOP in Wyoming voted to not recognize her as a republican so they might argue that just because she sits on pub side does not make her a republican. Kind of convoluted but the locals can settle the matter next fall. Be interesting to see all the Hollywood and Soros money pouring in for a Cheney.
Looks like someone at Daily Beast just tested positive for Kool-Aid.
Jeez. Cannot make this shiite up.
This Is the Day That Joe Biden Became President
In what may be the most powerful speech of his presidency
