Busy Day

Let’s take an inventory of all the things we’ve learned from the 1/6 Commission (and the Commission’s repercussions) in the first 24 Hours(!) of said Commission.

 

• Trump and his White House were actively trying to get the Department of Justice to overturn the election without any evidence of wrongdoing in said election.
• Trump seemed to be trying to bribe officials into overturning the election.
• Trump’s private attorneys were pressuring the DOJ to overturn the election
• Trump seemed to threaten DOJ officials to be loyal to him, NOT the country.
• Trump removed DOJ personnel who were not loyal to his cause. They actually are hired to work for the United States.
• Trump was ordering state officials in states he lost in the 2020 election to “find” him votes
• Trump’s Chief of Staff Mark Meadows was actively trying to get Attorney General Jeffery Rosen to not only take laughable conspiracy theories as factual truth, but he was also demanding the DOJ overturn a legal election solely on the mere existence of the EASILY PROVEN FALSE conspiracy theories.
• The Capitol police were attacked with intent.
• The 1/6 Insurrectionists were there to overthrow the government unless Trump was installed as President
• The 1/6 Insurrectionists were there because they themselves repeatedly stated Trump told them to be there
• The 1/6 Insurrectionists were there to hurt, kill and injure anyone they thought was in their way
• The 1/6 Insurrectionists repeatedly vocalized anti-American, racist, bigoted, and anti-Christian comments
• The 1/6 Insurrectionists were terrorists
• Conservatives faced with the reality of what Trump and his supporters did on 1/6, have ether chosen to cowardly saw nothing, or (even more cowardly) to attack the Capitol Police who were violently attacked.
• The Republicans narratives of being ‘pro-Cop,’ ‘pro-Law and Order,’ and pro-Patriotism’ are not true, only invoked when it is convenient for their political narrative.
• The police unions who usually defend police officers under attack have openly refused to support the Capitol Police (my guess is because their politics are more important than their members)
• The Far Right media has gone on the offensive to attack the police officers who were attacked on 1/6
• Jim Jordon, the Ohio Congressman who the Republicans demanded be part of the 1/6 Commission, after refusing to answer questions about his communications around 1/6, namely if he talked with Trump about the riots, finally admitted he had been in contact with Trump on 1/6 directly (and remember, the Republican leadership VERY LIKELY knew this, helped him keep it quiet and they still were trying to get him on the 1/6 Commission).

 

You probably didn’t know any of this if you only watch and view Right leaning media (well outside of the coordinated attacks on the officers by the Fox News talking heads).  The media that is trying to prevent you from hearing the truth is not on the Left.
