It was one year ago today.
The most telling thing I saw about it today was a montage of what was going on at the Capital and what Trump was saying. As the fighting was going on he was talking about all the love he saw. Really? That’s his idea of love?
Okay, so what to do? Well, it’s taken The Justice Department a year to get 150 or so to court. These are the easy cases, the low hanging fruit. Most have gotten off with little or no jail time. But there are a total of 700 that they are pursuing of the over 2500 that were there. At this rate it will take four to six years to just get these bozos. But the real higher ups, the ones who organized this insurrection would not have been charged until, what?, after the 2024 election?
Some say, “Oh it’s just political.”
Well, yeah, it’s political. Lemme break it down for you. When you attempt to overthrow a government, it’s political.
I understand that the standard sentence for this is twenty years. I’m cool with that. So let’s do it. Those who stormed the Capital – 20 years.
Those who organized it – 20 years.
Those who condoned it – 20 years.
Those who financed it – 20 years.
That would include Trump and his inner circle who were in on it – 20 years.
Those who wrote the plans and memos outlining what was going to happen – 20 years.
Those at the Willard Hotel who were orchestrating it – 20 years.
Those in Congress, both House and Senate, who voted not to certify the election – 20 years.
Those who gave speeches at the rally before the march to the Capital – 20 years,
It seems there were 40 to 100 who were in on the planning and financing.
There were 160 in Congress who voted not to certify the election.
There were 40 or 50 in the Senate who did the same.
So what are we talking in temrs of numbers? 300? 400? who weren’t at the Capital smashing windows but were in on it? Hey. We got room for them in prision. Treason.
It’s too bad we don’t have executions any more. But I’m a sympathetic guy. I’d say let each on room with a hardened criminal doing time for other crimes, like murder, assault, . Maybe some can learn a new trade – like makeshift tattoo artist?
I am with you. Death to those who try to turn our Democracy into an autocracy or Dictatorship. These are the people who don’t want government in their lives. What do they think an Autocrat or Dictator would do? Look at Cuba or the Philippines. Now we know there is enough evidence to see who in fact led this insurrection. Both Bannon and Trump titillated the public with a message that definitely told of the coming attack on the Capitol. The message was “be there, it is going to be wild!” Why Congress did not pay attention is beyond me. I certainly was aware that something awful was going to happen. So these traitors destroyed the Capitol and we the taxpayers have to pay for the destruction caused by Republican crazies. Only two Republicans were present for the Jan 6 remembrance. The Republicans absence is really an indication of their sense of patriotism. What do they think Patriotism is? Throwing over the government because one madman idiot is throwing a tantrum because he didn’t win is not patriotism. They do not seem to know what spoiled brats do.
