Apres insurrection: Forgive and move on? So much to unpack here.

Thoughts please. Low on the invective please. That’s too boring.

Absolutely not. Just like 911, it should never be forgotten. There are always consequences and they should be carried out. If the shoe was on the other foot, there would have been hell to pay. repubs are ruthless....would they have the "spirit of forgiveness" and move on? I don't think so. Our democracy was dangerously close to being destroyed...with potential murders of leaders. How can that be forgiven? 70% of repubs, per the article, still believe the election was stolen. We soften up, it will happen again, and it still may...there's a real sickness in this country. This jerk and other repub jerks fueled this, thanks to trump. So...that's a NO.

There's literally nothing to unpack. Fuck no.

A traitor wants us to forgive other traitors?

Forgive and forget? When the hottest of hells freeze over.

No. People died. Laws violated. Sedition. = CONSEQUENCES

And I bet he said that in his softest Baptist preacher voice. I’m sure if it was done by a bunch of Obama/Biden supporters or BLM or ANTIFA, he’d be singing a different tune. He’d keep reminding us a la 9/11 “Never forget” false patriotism along with the American flag plastered all over his Facebook page.

These f*Cher’s need to be locked up abs made to pay.

No never. Imagine having tRump as leader till he dies. God help everybody.

I do worry that a lot of people are embarrassed or in denial and just want the whole thing to go away. That kind of happened with Watergate to an extent, Nixon resigned and everyone went "good, we're kinda mad about Ford pardoning him but as long as he's gone everything is just fine now," which wasn't true. Nixon essentially getting away with everything (not to mention Kissinger and a host of others) laid the stage for Reagan to get away with murder, W to get away with it, and now Trump to get away with an attempted coup.

It was basically a failed coup. Insurrectionist = Traitors to our democracy and constitution.

If they had attempted this even 50 years ago they would in a federal prison waiting to be hung. Rightfully so. I miss those times.

Moving on comes only after accountability.

Oh, absolutely. I had to grow up with these diseased hypocrites and I can just hear this as well. I hate organized religion. It is free pass to corruption and abuse. I also loathe the south.

I do not and will never understand why these enemies of our country are STILL allowed to run for and hold any office in this country. Why aren't they deported, at the VERY least? Would someone please make it make sense? There are is no republican party. They are the party of Putin.

Sorry for typos@R18. There is NO republican party . Shit.

Where are we at re investigating the January 6 insurrectionists?

by Anonymousreply 20May 3, 2021 10:55 AM

Why haven't they arrested those at the fucking top of the food chain? Congress members who are complicit? Yeah, crickets.

May the remembrance of and anger toward the domestic terrorist attack on our Capitol and assault on our democracy continue to burn with the white-hot intensity of a thousand suns.

"I'm trying to figure out why don't they just -- if they got a case, then bring the charges, try the case!" he shouted. "Why do they keep leaking to all of these new agencies, 'oh, well, we're investigating' -- don't tell us what you're investigating! Investigate, bring the charges or don't bring the charges! Please, I am the last to defend Rudy Giuliani on what he's done over the past four or five years politically, but what happens if they don't bring the charges? This hangs over his head."

Quote from R24- This hangs over his head."

Hang him by his ugly head. (Neck) But not until he squeals like pig he is. We are all burned out on vague leaks and reports of " any day now, arrests are coming. ". Untill it happens it is nothing but media click bait and lies. I stopped believing in justice a long time ago.

I guess the roundup is still ongoing.

R26 Wow.

No. No. No. Forgiveness implies complicity.

No second chances. Prosecute the traitors and their leader to the highest degree of the Constitution.

R26 "Google's records showed the device had been 'in areas that are at least partially within the U.S. Capitol Building between approximately 2:15 p.m. and 3:41 p.m.' and in portions of the Capitol Grounds that were restricted that day, according to the complaint."

Why can't Google help round up everyone there that day in this way?

They committed treason. Line them up in front of a firing squad.
