It s to lol makes me ill to think about it. And no one responsible for that failure is being held accountable. How?

Probably because the GOP has inserted so many accomplices in so many places. The FBI downplayed all threats, remember. Are all the Trump-era hires at DOJ gone?

That plus the fact that so many LE and military officers (including many of the cops who were injured or died as a result of 1/6) were Trump supporters. I’m sure most still are.

Might as well face it you're convicted to jail!

I’m old enough to get that!

Most of the officers fought valiantly, but there was video from one place where the officers just moved the barricades and let them in. Not every officer was on board with the insurrection, but obviously some were, and sadly some of the traitors were in management.

James Grant, one of the first rioters to breach Capitol barricade on Jan. 6 alongside Ryan Samsel, was caught drunk driving and in possession of an AR-15, prosecutors say. He had 60 rounds of ammunition. They're seeking to revoke his pretrial release as a result. He initially tried to resist arrest. Maybe he should be in jail until trial.

Hawley, Cruz, Tuberville, Grassley.

I am sure there are others, but those 4 Senators for sure were in the thick of it.

“So, on this anniversary, here’s a simple thought experiment: What if the other side had done it? What if in early January 2017, Democrats similarly attired and armed had stormed the Capitol and attempted to keep Congress from receiving the Electoral College results for the 2016 presidential election?

What if Democrats claimed that Donald Trump’s razor-thin victories in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin resulted from extensive voter fraud and should be rejected, despite having failed to establish in a single court that extensive fraud had actually occurred?

What if some of these Democrats breached the Capitol defenses and threatened violence against the Republican speaker, Paul Ryan, and Republican Senate majority leader, Mitch McConnell ?

What if they insisted that in his role as Senate president then-Vice President Joe Biden had sole authority to seat Hillary Clinton’s electors from any contested states and thereby hand her the presidency?

If this happened, would some of my fellow Republicans have accepted it as merely a protest? Would they have called patriots those charged with violent acts against our country, its laws and Constitution? Would they have accepted such extralegal means to change the outcome of a presidential election?

No they would not. I’m certain of that.”

Exactly right, and written by Karl Rove no less! Any reactions to this, Republicans?

Well, you got your answer. No answer, pure cowardice. But the answer is that they would have moved swiftly to impose Marshall law and crack down on civil rights even further. So I’m glad it wasn’t the other way around.

I've never understand why, of all laws, they named *that one" after Thurgood. Or were they actually naming the law after the department store?
