    How is this out of context?

    "Certain dates echo throughout history, including dates that instantly remind all who have lived through them where they were, and what they were doing, when our democracy came under assault," Harris said. "Dates that occupy not only a place on our calendars, but a place in our collective memory: December 7th, 1941, September 11th, 2001, and January 6th, 2021."

    I am sure this will surprise zero people that you don’t care numerous police were injured during an attempt to subvert the will of the people.

    That is what the Republican Party stands for these days, theft of power by any means — so of course you don’t care. We saw the same in NC and FL and none of you cared then either.

    But when doctored images show up on Facebook or a known liar says something without any sources it is all any of you can scream about until the next propaganda piece comes along.

    Such an interesting political narrative

    How is what she said incorrect?
    All three were an attack on this nation, only one was an attempt to prevent our election process.

    As bad as y’all want it to go away, it will go in the history books and all of the cult members that attempted to do so will go down with it.

    This is their legacy

    Lol then maybe you’d like to explain why it is that a group of people who are ROUTINELY referred to as “gun nuts” decided to not use guns in their planned insurrection attempt against people whom they KNOW are armed to the teeth?

    Instead of your little personal sniping you can instead point to an accomplishment of the Democrats......

    That's because conservative networks are not into pushing hyperbolic propaganda that's been greatly exaggerated

    I am not understanding your concerns about this. I don't watch whatever media outlet you are referring to but it doesn't sound surprising they would avoid the pink elephant in the room. Why wouldn't they ignore if they lean toward Trump and conservatives?

    Further, I don't really get the mindset that we will somehow forget something because nobody is talking about it. That's not accurate. People categorize events and encounters constantly and those experiences which are important to them will be remembered if some news station is reporting about it or not. This is why I have an issue with people complaining about news outlets reporting Topic B while Topic A is still hot and claiming that it's some sort of deflection from Topic A. I don't understand why a person can't focus on both topics. I don't have any special mental powers but I can remember two current events simultaneously. Trump can remember five nouns. The whole foundation of that argument is just silly.

    Please share what you think they could have done to present <whatever> about the Capitol riots last year that will be adequate enough for you (and, by extension, maybe others that view this the way you do) AND keep their sponsors and bosses happy? I don't work for any media outlets but I would assume keeping one's manager at least content with our work is a pretty good strategy for longevity in the workplace and I have no doubts that's exactly who called the shots on how the anniversary date would be (or not be) addressed.

    The people who were there acting like fools have been arrested and dealt with.

    You need to move on.

    The investigation is still ongoing, and the coward Trump is hiding at Mar Lago. :)

    I wonder why all Trump supporters forget those basic facts :)

    Which was not the only "insurrection" so let's talk about minimalizing "insurrection". Of course it is about whatabouism, why does it so blaringly exist between leftwing "insurrection" and rightwing "insurection". Why is one OK and not the other?

    Please show me where I have ever said these people planned this? The ones that were involved in the planning were either not there or vanished shortly after, just because they are sheep easily manipulated doesn’t mean they should be treated less criminally.

    Let’s assume for a moment you’re correct. Why would the ones who did plan it plan an essentially unarmed insurrection as their master plan for overthrowing the government? Why wouldn’t they have encouraged them to use firearms? If the masterminds are just going to disappear into the shadows anyway... why not arm your insurrectionists to the teeth?

    So then you agree that the people that had caused a ruckus on January 6th have been arrested and investigation is ongoing and punishment is going to be set.

    I mean short of my getting to enjoy your frustration as Trump doesn't get charged with anything yet again I would say that this is pretty much a wrap at this point.

    You need to move on.

    Maybe focus some of that energy on trying to come to terms with why the current president hasn't been charged with sexually assaulting a minor in front of us all at C-SPAN back in 2015...

    But maybe you're okay with that

    Numerous places that were discussing the “event” prior to it were talking about it being armed. The strict gun laws probably prevented many of the individuals that were involved in the violent insurrection from not carrying.

    Had they been “armed to the teeth” they wouldn’t have made it to the rally. There were guns there however including some seized or stopped prior.

    Maybe you should pay more attention to the daily news.

    https://thehill.com/policy/national...als-interest-in-whether-trump-committed-crime
    The Jan. 6 Select Committee has signaled it intends to explore potential criminal wrongdoing by former President Trump, marking a significant escalation for the investigation that could put pressure on the Biden administration.

    They are even starting to look at certain members of Congress too.

    Should Trump be able to get out of this predicament, he still has all those lawsuits :)

    Sooooo they couldn’t guns there... but some guns were seized from there. You understand that makes NO SENSE whatsoever. Right?

    And who exactly was there who was going to stop 2000 armed people with firearms? Hell they couldn’t stop 2000 people WITHOUT firearms. Wtf makes you think they were going to stop them WITH guns?

    If 2000 armed people had showed up there would have been 20,000 armed people on the steps, with 20 tanks in front of them and some helicopters behind. Posse comitatus just means you can't call out the Army without the Congress sayings so, not that you can't call them out at all.

    It's not an "escalation", it's an expectation. Kangaroo courts always operate in this fashion, that is by their design. It is the desire of the so-called "committee" to act as an arm of the Justice Department, and it will twist its pretzel in anyway to reach that conclusion. It's not whether or the committee will recommend charges, it's whether the so-called AG has the spine to keep to his promise of an apolitical institution.
