Liz Cheney Appointed By Nancy Pelosi To January 6 House Committee

Wyoming Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney, daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, a major critic of Donald Trump and the US Capitol January 6 Insurrection, has agreed to be part of the House Committee being organized by the Democratic majority in the House of Representatives.

A strong conservative, nevertheless, Cheney voted to impeach Donald Trump in the second impeachment, and also supported a January 6 Commission to investigate the treason and sedition of Trump supporters who attacked the US Capitol, caused the deaths of five people, including Brian Sicknick, and injured overall more than 140 Capitol Police on that disgraceful day.

But the Republicans refused to cooperate in the investigation, so Pelosi has gone ahead and formed a Select Committee instead, and Cheney courageously decided to join by appointment of her ideological opponent, the Speaker of the House, because she knows that a full investigation of the tragedy is essential.

Cheney emphasized allegiance to the Constitution and rule of law, and the importance of a peaceful transfer of power between Presidencies, which has been the hallmark of American democracy for nearly 250 years!

With July 4 coming in two days, patriotism is more important than loyalty to a corrupt, authoritarian oriented leader, who wishes to establish a dictatorship, and destroy the American political tradition!

Congressional Gold Medals Awarded To US Capitol Police After January 6 Insurrection Rejected By 21 House Republicans!

It is an absolute outrage that 21 House Republicans voted against awarding of Congressional Gold Medals to US Capitol Police in recognition of their sacrifices at the time of the January 6 Insurrection!

This includes the usual and predictable monstrous members, including the following ten:

Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia
Lauren Boebert of Colorado
Louie Gohmert of Texas
Matt Gaetz of Florida
Paul Gosar of Arizona
Andy Biggs of Arizona
Andy Harris of Maryland
Andrew Clyde of Georgia
Jody Hice of Georgia
Mary Miller of Illinois

These ten and the other eleven are ten percent of the Republican membership of the House of Representatives, the Trumpite wing, and a total disgrace in their treason and sedition, when all members of Congress on January 6 were protected by the courageous US Capitol police force, leading to the death of Officer Brian Sicknick; and over 140 officers seriously injured; and two other officers dying by suicide after the events.

These members should be expelled from the House and charged with sedition, as we learn that some of them were helping rioters by giving tours of the US Capitol the day before the January 6 Insurrection!

Donald Trump (Alternative Reality) Defends Rioters in January 6 Capitol Insurrection As No Threat, And “Hugging And Kissing”!

Donald Trump, the former “Insurrectionist in Chief” and would be “Dictator in Chief” is trying to change history, when he said this week that the rioters in the January 6 Capitol Insurrection, which caused the death of Brian Sicknick, two other Capitol officers committing suicide, and more than one hundred injuries to other Capitol Officers, was a “zero threat”, and that his supporters were “hugging and kissing”!

The desecration at the US Capitol is also overlooked by a man who clearly is the most dangerous person to American democracy, and now faces legal actions on many fronts. Trump also had nothing to say about the threat to former Vice President Mike Pence, who the rioters were chanting that he should be hanged, and a noose was present outside the US Capitol!

Trump is poisoning the Republican Party, and his loyal followers still represent a threat in the coming years, and one can sadly expect other violence and destruction being perpetrated by his Fascist supporters, who are white supremacists, racists, nativists, antisemites, and a threat to civil order as domestic terrorists!

Donald Trump needs to be held accountable in a court of law for his massive crimes against women; his promotion of violence and bloodshed among his crazy followers; and his economic crimes!

The Capitol Police Force: True Heroes Who Need To Be Applauded And Appreciated For Their Sacrifices!

The US Capitol Police Force demonstrated great courage on the day of the Capitol Insurrection, January 6, 2021.

The tragedy of Brian Sicknick being murdered, and two other officers committing suicide after the horrific event, is a tremendous sacrifice. It needs to lead to prosecution of former President Donald Trump, after the end of the Second Impeachment Trial, made more outrageous by the reality that there has been no expressions of regret or sorrow by Trump.

Capitol Hill Police Officer Eugene Goodman was given notice of a Congressional Gold Medal, for steering the insurrectionists away from the Senate chamber, and saving Senator Mitt Romney and others in the process,

Other officers will also be rewarded for their sacrifices.

The Capitol Police Force are true heroes who need to be applauded and appreciated for their sacrifices!

Points To Ponder As Second Impeachment Trial Of Donald Trump Begins

As the second impeachment trial of Donald Trump begins today, some points to ponder are worth considering.

Donald Trump lied incessantly over a fixed election when 60 court cases unanimously agreed the election in the various states being contested was totally fair, and lacking any corruption, as compared to 2016 and other earlier electionss.

Donald Trump was gleeful, enjoying the Capitol Insurrection, and unconcerned about the harm being done to the building, and the occupants, including many members of both houses of Congress, and Capitol Hill Police and staff members.

Donald Trump was inciting violence against his own Vice President, Mike Pence, and the Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, the two people in line of succession after himself, and had no concern about their welfare.

Donald Trump did not call in National Guard reinforcements promptly, forcing Mike Pence to assert himself finally after four years of being obsequious.

Donald Trump has never expressed any sense of sorrow over the loss of life of a Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, and the other four victims of the Capitol Insurrection.

Donald Trump incited the mob by his language, and cannot claim that what he said was not promoting violence and destruction.

Donald Trump is like any citizen, not above the law, accountable for his behavior and actions, and does not have the constitutional right to promote insurrection and sedition, which is not part of freedom of speech under the First Amendment.

Donald Trump should be convicted as a warning to future Presidents that such abuse of power and promotion of violence and destruction will not be tolerated, and that politics is not the issue, but the survival of American democracy, and the regulation of executive power in the Presidency!
