This is what happens when you don’t convict the guilty. The Republicans will always be the party of January 6th no matter how hard they try to rewrite history. Trump should never have been even allowed to run, let alone win.

arlenetrebbefowler.bsky.social•6 days ago

Because he is a denier. He has blinders on. That little pixie doesn’t want to do anything to bring the wrath of Trump down on him.

The officers who most likely saved Johnson from harm that day. Johnson is a disgrace!

Shocking….. no, not really

zirak1.bsky.social•6 days ago

Johnson is an asshole, who only cares is kissing Trump's ass.

amazecraze.bsky.social•5 days ago

I mean kinda gross but isn't the much bigger story that another day has gone by when Republicans haven't impeached and removed the man who ordered the attack??

comtechdiagnostics.bsky.social•5 days ago

This is just one small aspect of that day.

THIS is honoring the police officers.

Is there a way for the memorial to be displayed in one location and then moved to another? If so, can Democrats request to display the memorial at their offices? Can it become a moving memorial and move through the halls of Congress?

This is what happens when fascism and narcissism replace patriotism.

"Back the Blue" or something like that, right?

A giant banner with Trump’s photo overlooks the National Mall while a plaque honoring officers who defended the Capitol in 2021 is gathering dust.

Disgraceful

We’ve spilled beyond all bounds of spectacle & decency here: J6 “choir,” lionization of murderous mob, mass pardons, &, now, looming “compensation” of rioters: startling, unprecedented, & jarring abandonment of all civilized, lawful norms. So of course Trump’s Congress minions hide this plaque. smh

It'll remain there until Jeffries gets the gavel.

When Trump learns about this memorial plaque, he will have it melted down and recast as a statue of himself for the oval office.

burnsiet.bsky.social•5 days ago

No matter how hard they try to bury 1/6 we will never forget what happened .

Yes, but what about Biden's blinking and stuttering? Isn't that dementia? Tell me more about that heroic lie, fuckwad.

One day I trust a second memorial will hang next to it denouncing each and every congressional coward who ignored their sacrifice in search of Trump’s favor. #8647

We pay the family of an Insurrectionist $5 Million, but don't display this memorial plaque. WTF is wrong with these people?

Nothing that questions, downplays, or denigrates Trump in any way is to see the light of day if they can stop it.

Their heroism will never be forgotten. As for me, thousands of users on this platform get daily reminders 😘

bradjarvis.bsky.social•6 days ago

Because it might offend the terrorist whose followers they fought?

patsfanlisa.bsky.social•6 days ago

It hasn't been forgotten. It's been buried by those who want to erase history.

Illustrative.

audiolibrarian.bsky.social•6 days ago

this was the bleedingly obvious goal since January 7, and the ultimate goal of trump running for a second term. but all you fucking assholes at the @nytimes.com were too busy circle jerking to fantasies about a trump restoration to report about it accurately.

texasgeologist.bsky.social•6 days ago

Prior to the election, Re: J6, Trump falsely stated that "We," as in the violent insurrectionists who assaulted the police officers, did not have guns, while the "Others," as in the police officers defending the Capitol, had guns.

He explicitly identified with the violent insurrectionist thugs.
