AFTERLIFE—In a statement issued from the afterlife, various Civil War soldiers said that while it was tragic that they had to experience the war that threatened the Republic, they were at least thankful that they weren't around on January 6, 2021, when the absolute worst attack on our democratic ideas occurred.

"Yeah, we had it pretty rough -- but at least we weren't around when a few hundred people walked around the Capitol taking pictures," said John Rumplestin III, a Union soldier who was killed in the Battle of Gettysburg. "That's when our democracy really died."

At publishing time, the victims of the attack on Pearl Harbor had agreed with the Civil War soldiers that while they had it bad, they were just thankful to God that they didn't have to see the tragic attack on the Capitol.

I’m sure all the families of the 911 victims appreciated Bidens comment, what a mega d-bag that guy is. And now he is banning anything patriotic, no fireworks at Mt. Rushmore, banning of “Rolling to remember” but July 1st is the 100th anniversary of the Communist party being founded in China. 100% guaranteed the Marxists and Biden will celebrate that.

There are rumors that some of them did not even stay within the lines of red velvet ropes!!!
Oh my goodness- another great headline by bb
I have wondered if the boys facing the rebel trenches at cold harbor could have seen how we turned out , would they have still charged into almost certain death.
We need a trip to Arlington to apologize to the dead for giving up what they died to protect
Wait until they find out that most of them voted for Biden.
January 6 was ever so much worse than the 1954 attemped assassination of congressmen. /s
BUT because the people today are semi-literate boobs with little comprehension and no historical knowledge:
“On March 1, 1954, while Members gathered on the House Floor for an upcoming vote, three men and one woman entered the visitor’s gallery above the chamber and quietly took their seats. All four belonged to the Puerto Rican Nationalist Party and only hours earlier had traveled from New York City to Washington, DC.
The United States had annexed Puerto Rico in 1898, and the island’s relationship with the federal government had long been a point of contention. Some Puerto Ricans sought to maintain their relationship with the mainland, and others, like the four visitors in the House that day, argued for an independent Puerto Rico.
The Capitol had few security protocols at the time, and the four Puerto Rican nationalists entered the gallery armed with handguns. Around 2:30 p.m. they indiscriminately opened fire onto the House Floor and unfurled a Puerto Rican flag in a violent act of protest meant to draw attention to their demand for Puerto Rico’s immediate independence.
Five Congressmen were wounded in the shooting.”

No buffalos were injured in this process. /s
And Jimmy Carter pardoned the ringleader in 1979.

Oh My God, Ground breaking reporting, Pulitzer Prize Material here, if only they could get Pelosi to Sign it...
WE know they weren’t President Trumps’s voters. they were fakes wearing MAGA hats, etc. A few may have just been crazies looking to crash a party and some dope dealers trading for violence.
Of course it was. Almost all of the insurrectionists had two arms.
Man, the Bee has kicked it into another gear lately. It’s like divine inspiration.
