January 6th

I own a house in Washington DC and on January 6th, 2021, a mob of shitbags trashed my house. I’m a co-owner of The Capitol Building, with every other American, because my tax dollars pay for the upkeep. So, who trashed OUR house? Donald Trump calls the mob patriots, great Americans and hostages. Trump had just lost the election and claimed it was stolen; if it was, it was stolen by over 7 million votes. In reality, Trump was just throwing one of his hissy-fits and making it up as he went along, telling the crowd to, “… go down there and fight like hell…” When they did his bidding, they left two dead cops and countless dollars of damage in their wake. The mob was conned, manipulated and sent there by Donald Trump because he’d lost the election, it’s that simple. Maybe, when he loses in 2024, he can send these assholes out to Arlington National Cemetery to trash Audie Murphy’s grave.

The crowd on January 6th was estimated at around 10,000. At least 1,033 entered the Capitol Building and have since been arrested and 378 sent to Federal prison. Eighty-one (7%) were veterans and 15 (1%) were police officers. As they come out of the slammer, they’ll find their life has changed- most will have already been fired and if a convicted felon, they’ll never vote again, own a firearm, hold a security clearance and never get a job that requires even a low level, basic background check---welcome to the rest of your life in the fast-food industry. I hope it was worth it, because Trump doesn’t even know your name.

Trump’s already at it again, telling the US Supreme Court if they don’t put him back on the ballot in Colorado, “…Chaos and bedlam will reign…” kind of sounds like a January 6th threat to me. I hope he does start his shit, again, there’s still that matter of the two dead cops that remains unsettled. Police Departments have a long memory, and the next time Trump sends his riff-raff out on the street, they won’t be facing a few cops badly outnumbered, they’ll see the phalanx in full riot gear with a smile on their face. As for Trump, there’s a Federal Judge with a smile on her face, just waiting to discuss January 6th with him…
