Johnson’s claim that the J6 rioters and insurrectionists were just “happening to be walking through the building” is not only ludicrous but dangerously misleading. The events of that day, January 6th, 2021, are seared into our collective memory. We witnessed a violent mob storm the Capitol, breach security barriers, break windows and doors, assault law enforcement officers, and vandalize government property. To dismiss these actions as simply a stroll through a building is to gaslight the entire nation.
The fact that some individuals resorted to smearing feces in the hallways of the U.S. Capitol only underscores the depravity and lawlessness that unfolded that day.… Continue reading
Donald Trump’s descent into madness seems to have reached a new low with his recent speech praising the Capitol rioters. It is evident that he is completely detached from reality, celebrating individuals who committed acts of violence and insurrection against their own country. His delusional remarks reflect a severe lack of judgment and a complete disregard for the rule of law.
The implications of Trump’s unhinged speech are alarming. Not only does it highlight his desperate attempts to cling to power at any cost, but it also underscores the dangerous precedent it sets for the future of democracy in America. By glorifying individuals who threatened the very foundation of our nation, Trump has revealed himself to be a clear and present danger to society.… Continue reading
This recent development regarding Jamie Raskin’s plan to kick Trump off the ballot is both intriguing and frustrating. On one hand, it’s refreshing to see a Democratic representative taking action and not backing down in the face of opposition. Raskin’s determination to push forward with legislation, despite the slim chances of success, is commendable. It’s a reminder that sometimes the fight for justice and democracy requires bold and unwavering action.
The Supreme Court’s ruling, which stated that Congress must pass a law to enforce the Fourteenth Amendment, sparked Raskin’s efforts to revive legislation that would disqualify individuals who committed insurrection. This move is crucial in holding those responsible for the Capitol insurrection, like Trump, accountable for their actions.… Continue reading
Lauren Boebert just realized she lives in a glass house. A glass house, a proverbial symbol of vulnerability, where one’s actions and behaviors are transparent for all to see. The metaphorical glass house illustrates the concept that those who live in such fragile structures should not engage in behaviors that could bring about their downfall. And yet, here we are, with Boebert seemingly blindsided by the reality that her own actions have led to her current predicament.
It’s no secret that Boebert has been a controversial figure, known for her divisive rhetoric and questionable decisions. From her involvement in the Capitol insurrection to her unwavering support for former President Trump, Boebert has consistently found herself in hot water.… Continue reading
Michael Sparks, 46, of Kentucky, made history as the first rioter to breach the Capitol building during the harrowing events of January 6, 2021. The image of him jumping through a shattered window following another rioter who smashed it with a stolen riot shield will forever be ingrained in our memories. It’s a relief to hear that a federal jury in Washington, D.C., convicted Sparks on all six charges he faced, including two felonies. Justice has been slow in coming, but it is finally here.
Emily Allen, the Justice Department prosecutor, described Sparks as the “tip of the spear” in the attack, breaching the Capitol less than a minute before senators were forced to evacuate the chamber to escape the angry mob.… Continue reading
Trump Says Jan. 6 Was an Insurrection
As I sit here, trying to comprehend the absurdity of the statement made by former President Donald Trump, I can’t help but shake my head in disbelief. How is it possible that anyone can still support this man? What has happened in their lives that led them to believe that he is the right choice? These questions swirl in my mind as I dive deeper into the recent news. Trump’s lawyers, in a filing this week, had asserted that the events of January 6th did not constitute an insurrection. However, just days later, Trump himself stated, “I think it was an insurrection.”… Continue reading
The Only Way Trump Stays on the Ballot Is if the Supreme Court Rejects the Constitution
As an engaged citizen who believes in the fundamental principles of democracy and the rule of law, I find it deeply disheartening to consider that the only way Donald Trump could stay on the ballot is if the Supreme Court rejects the Constitution. It seems unimaginable that the highest court in our land, entrusted with safeguarding our nation’s founding principles, would even entertain such a notion. However, recent developments and the tone of the court’s proceedings have left me with little hope that they will uphold the integrity of our Constitution.… Continue reading
‘Oath-breaking insurrectionist’ Trump is ineligible for office, Colorado voters tell the Supreme Court
It’s a headline that many of us thought we would never see, but it seems that there may finally be some justice on the horizon. Colorado voters have taken a stand and told the Supreme Court that former President Donald Trump is ineligible for office due to his involvement in the insurrection that took place on January 6, 2021.
When I first heard the news, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief. Finally, someone is holding Trump accountable for his actions. The events of January 6 were a dark day in American history, and it is clear that Trump played a significant role in inciting the violence that unfolded at the Capitol.… Continue reading
Trump calls for all willing States to deploy their guards to Texas
Trump’s recent call for various states to deploy their guards to Texas has sparked controversy and concern among many. As an outsider observing the situation, I can’t help but feel that Trump is fomenting a civil war. The idea of using armed groups to fight against government forces is deeply troubling and goes against the principles of democracy and peace.
While some may find this call to action amusing or entertaining, I take it very seriously. It reminds me of the dangerous events that unfolded on January 6th, when a small faction of individuals tried to overthrow the American government.… Continue reading
Proud Boys member gets six years in prison for Capitol riot after insulting judge
I can’t help but shake my head at the audacity and lack of remorse displayed by Marc Bru, a member of the Proud Boys, during his sentencing for his participation in the Capitol riot. Bru, who was handcuffed and shackled, boldly proclaimed, “You can give me 100 years and I’d do it all over again.” These words not only reflect his defiance towards the legal system but also his belief that he will be pardoned within a year.
It is truly disheartening to witness someone who actively participated in an armed insurrection against democracy show no remorse for their actions.… Continue reading
