Just imagine the 'storming the Capitol monuments' that will be erected to honor those 'rebels'.

Wonder who will end up memoralized as noble heroes.

Man wearing his work I.D. badge on a lanyard who was promptly identified and fired by his call center employer for calling in sick on Jan. 6?

Man with the Nazi tattoos and the coyote pelt helmet who lives with mother?

Men with the zip cuffs?

Likely the woman who was shot trying to break into the House chambers to overturn the election will be honored in some way.

What about those who beat on police officers with wood poles, iron pipes, and fire extinguishers? How about the ones who seemed to know where the actual offices were rather than the ceremonial ones and stole documents, laptops, etc.? Do they get honorable mentions?

You forgot a very important step, Zero. He claimed he had proof, but let's see it. Where's the proof? Reasonable people don't just accept somebody's claim without any evidence to back it up (especially a claim from Trump, for heaven's sake! He's a pathological liar!). And the more outlandish a claim, the more robust the evidence should be. There's not two realities, Zero. There's one reality, then there's a lot of people who have been duped.

My vote is for the cretin who threatened and chased the Capitol police officer who bravely and cleverly lured the terrorists away from the Senate Chamber possibly saving many lives.

How about a 'Silent Sam' sortof monument? For all of the Congress folks who remained sycophantically silent for 4 years?

How about those 'patriots' who protested having metal detectors installed, while demanding to bring their guns to the Capitol the day or days after the riots? (<- what to name? )

Default Feds Charge 2 Trump-Loving Cops

Thomas Robertson and Jacob Fracker, two members of the Rocky Mount Police Department in Virginia, took a selfie in front of a statue of John Stark, a general in the Continental Army during the American Revolution.

Also there is a story in today's Washington Post that some Republican members of Congress may have actively assisted the terrorists by providing logistical help and reconnaissance info. This would be a massive scandal and would probably result in lengthy prison sentences. Stay tuned.

yep. the groups were reported to the sergeant-at-arms the day before the riots so it's obviously not a fabricated claim.

ARE YOU SERIOUS???????

I mean, you sounded like the peaceful one, do you have idea what you are asking for?????

AHEM! A "Silent SAM" is a designation for a Surface to Air Missile asset, such as a missile cruiser, to be radio silent until called into action and then, WATCH OUT!

Yeah right whatever edgy rebel

It's worth noting there's a Guns & Hunting sub forum under the Hobbies & Recreation forum right here on C-D.
