January 6 - when democracy was defended against TFG "mob-ism"

After losing a certified, fair election, the lame duck candidate takes a page from Nazi propagandists, and creates a falsehood stating the election was stolen. He then urged them to fight back in order to get the type of government they want. A mob (incited by TFG) forms and proceeds to attack the US Capitol building while assaulting its defenders.

January 6 protest organizers say they participated in planning meetings with members of Congress and #TFG's White House staff.

Echo opinion letter published in Staten Island Advance SILive.com:

Many thanks to those who put their lives in the path of violent insurrectionists on January 5, 2021, when the US Capitol was invaded by an evil Trumpzi cult mob. 

As the House investigation into the Jan. 6 attack heats up, some of the planners of the pro-Trump rallies that took place in Washington, D.C., have begun communicating with congressional investigators and sharing new information about what happened when the former president’s supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol. 

Once inside, they hunt for members and threaten the vice president. To whitewash this as anything other than an attempt to disrupt the government would be foolish.

As we remember December 7, and 9/11, we must never forget January 6 as the day the government was attacked at the urging of a lame duck president.

The jury is still out on Afghanistan. So far 80,000 people have been rescued. The biggest mistake the administration made was to think the Afghanis would fight for their freedom longer than 11 days.
