The most amusing part of all this is that it’s (self)documented with hundreds of hours of video, at least. Some of it televised more or less live. And they think they can erases/rewrite it? Literally insane.
If the republicans don’t LIKE something (some person; some political outcome) they’ve discovered that they can just ignore it – claim that it NEVER HAPPENED, and their true believers will accept that without question.
They TRULY exist in an alternate universe where their guy Trump really did win in 2020 and there’s NOTHING you can say to them that will convince them otherwise – I’ve dealt with the mentally deficient in a clinical setting for many years and I know the futility of attempting to change their world view.
But Anti Empty-Gee, it all seemed so real! You were there, Uncle Dense was there, Grampa Rumpy was there, all our Patri-not first cousins who married their siblings were there… It was all so real! And look! There are my ruby slippers… Oops! No, that’s just the blood of a Capitol Police officer… There’s no place like Leavenworth. There’s no place like Leavenworth.
In truth, the DemocRats and their legion of leftists liberals have torn down or destroyed elements of our history, they say, for the “sins” of the past. Who gave them the right to judge and destroy?
Consider this; if not for the live coverage, if this was still the era of print news, they could have snuffed this story quite easily. Who owned the papers? The rich.
We are about to see an avalanche of dirt on members of congress who assisted the insurrection in some way — some wanting it to succeed, others just sympathetic to the intent.

Lincoln Project no longer will fight over GOP, will fight to save democracy.
The Lincoln Project has published a new attack ad targeting the Republican party after its ouster of Rep Liz Cheney from her leadership role in the House of Representatives.
The conservative anti-Trump group shared the 38-second new video titled “Allegiance” on YouTube on 17 May, and it showcases the unwavering dedication to former president Donald Trump among nearly every elected Republican.
“I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America” is repeated by a round of voices while images from classic symbols of American national identity are shown in the background, such as the flag and the Statue of Liberty. It is then contrasted to footage from the insurrection at the Capitol Building on 6 January.
As the Pledge of Allegiance is heard in the background, it is played on top of a visual montage of military personnel and president Joe Biden.
This is contrasted with footage from the white supremacist Charlottesville rally at which Mr Trump said there were “fine people” on both sides, US senator Ted Cruz speaking at CPAC and House minority leader Kevin McCarthy.
“…with liberty and justice for Trump,” the usually patriotic verse ends. “To whom do you pledge allegiance?” it finally asks, before going on to say that the Lincoln Project sponsored this message.
The release of the video coincides with recent leadership changes among congressional Republicans. Ms Cheney was booted from the No 3 position in the House Republican Conference and replaced with vocal Trump defender Elise Stefanik.
The group made another video earlier in the month. They released the attack video titled “Swamp Thing” trying to tease the former president, saying “the swamp won” and that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell was “making big money using your name.”
Meanwhile, violence and left wing riots still rage across the country. Hypocrisy of the Democrats is outrageous. You have a one off occasion where a relatively few right wingers, egged on by Antifa and BLM infiltrators, did only a fraction of what Antifa, BLM and anarchists have been doing for over a year. The image of the GOP trying to erase the 6th is laughable compared to the Dems sweeping under the rug over a years worth of left wing violence, murder, hundreds of businesses shut down, billions of dollars lost, dozens of deaths including police officers and the occupation of entire city blocks. Violence in the big red cities long governed by Democrats goes unabated and is increasing. Over the weekend in Chicago alone there were 47 shootings with 9 deaths, one of them a 15 year old boy sitting on his porch.
