Five years ago today, the POTUS asked his most rabid followers to come to Washington DC, and what happened that day will forever live in infamy.

Sane Americans must never forget this treachery.

Officer Daniel Hodges:

Yet another Trump topic. Glad Im not you.

The current administration is desperate to erase any memory of the shameful attack, and one of the things they're doing is hiding this plaque honouring the brave law enforrcement officers defending the Capitol from a violent mob baying for blood.

'This Jan. 6 plaque was made to honor law enforcement. It’s nowhere to be found at the Capitol'

https://apnews.com/article/capitol-riot-jan-6-anniversary-police-plaque-f6fd39b437c339fa9ff477318a7d36e2

"Approaching the fifth anniversary of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, the official plaque honoring the police who defended democracy that day is nowhere to be found.

It’s not on display at the Capitol, as is required by law. Its whereabouts aren’t publicly known, though it’s believed to be in storage."

Thanks for the valuable contribution. What would we do without you.....

Most Trump supporters either do their best to forget that date or they deny that there was anything resembling an insurrection. Many even deny that Trump made statements encouraging people to go to the capitol. Some even deny that he tried to steal the election.

With many people, once they got attached to a theory, it was hard to get them detached. They’d screen out unhelpful facts, invent favorable ones, and ignore contradictions in their own claims. Look at those Sandy Hook, multiple fraud convictions, and Jan. 6th truthers, babbling about false flags and crisis actors and all the rest. When people were motivated enough to believe something, they were going to believe it no matter what. There was no such thing as a bridge too far.

There's no question that he's a major coward, he would never have the guts to fight a true battle, or do something dangerous. Not only that but he's a derelict, he's a delinquent, he's a felon, he's a lifetime career criminal, he's somewhat of a dimwit, he is a hater, and a racist, he is highly misogynistic, he's a terrible negotiator, and a fraud, and he's a horrific leader.

You are stating that Trump is paedophile ..

Mike, you have often posted that you like them young

Senator Cory Booker posted this video as a reminder.

And most importantly, he's your President (assuming you are American).

What a delightful "oopsie" from the GOP. This was all a part of a plan. The insurrection, the fake electors scheme, the pressure on the VP to disrupt the lawful transfer of power.

TREASON.

That is right , 5 years ago Biden stole the election.

Tsk, tsk, no need to rub it in just because you're a Canadian and have a highly respected (and sane) leader.😁

I won't entirely disagree with you. I had very low hopes for PM Carney when he took over. But so far he has been rather pragmatic and pro-development. He's skilfully pushed most of Trudeau's cronies out of power in government.

Your chart is interesting but forgets one basic point- there are a lot of black folks in the US (compared to Canada), and their relatively low averages skew the picture.

Officer Brian Sicknick died because of the insurrection. Never forget.

That's a weird take. They're Americans, aren't they? A quick search of Canadian native people shows a great disparity in the numbers between them and non-natives, so should the native population be taken out of the Canadian averages? If you do that then the difference in the numbers between Canada and the US becomes even greater in Canada's favour.

You sure? If that were the case, then the 2 rioters who were charged (rightly) and convicted (rightly) of assaulting him would have been charged with murder. Wouldn't they?

Let's get back on track. This is what this thread is about; insurrection, treason, political violence.

Trump still winning.

It was a criminal case, and the evidentiary requirements are strict so the prosecutors had no choice but to go for the lesser offence.

Remember OJ. Found not guilty in the criminal trial, but guilty in the civil case.

Interesting what has happened to the pardoned terrorists from 6 January 2021.

This is what happens when felons and fascists let terrorists off easy:

From a House Report issued in the last few days, now part of the Congressional Record:

“At least 33 pardoned January 6th insurrectionists have now been convicted of, charged with, or arrested for additional crimes since the violent attack on the Capitol,” the report “One Year Later” reads before rattling off a long list of alleged offenses: “child sexual assault, production of child pornography, possession of child pornography, rape, conspiracy to commit murder of Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents, kidnapping, sexual assault, aggravated robbery, reckless homicide, driving under the influence causing death, illegal possession of firearms, domestic violence by strangulation, burglary, vandalism, grand theft, stalking, violation of protective orders, threatening public officials, and drug trafficking.”

Good point. So what happened in the civil case against Siknik's attackers?

Is Trump jealous of Maduro because, unlike him, he was able to remain President despite losing an election? 😁

Do you keep these memes safely squirreled away. I got the same one from you.

You're getting lazy....buddy.

And Trump is still whining and lying about it at any occasion! 🤣🤣🤣

There is a vast difference between 16 and 25. I think even you can admit that. Don couldn't.

Every year from now until forever we'll hear about the Far-Right, Fascist, MAGA "insurrection" and "terrifying illegal parading at the Capitol."

Get your sticks and clubs out! Now, commence with beating the poor dead creature to a pulp. Good job!

I am an American and most unfortunately he is my president, which says an awful lot about my country, doesn't it?

I think it says more that he and Harris were your choices... 340 million people and this is what you got?!?

I had the same experience for 10 excruciating years when Trudeau was PM. But... he was MY Prime Minister, for better or worse, elected fairly. C'est la vie.

Not so much of difference between 16 and 18 though
