The Democrats' January 6 observances were like a bad Academy Awards show
American Thinker ^ | 7 Jan, 2022 | Andrea Widburg

Yesterday, Democrats in D.C. and the mainstream media, gave themselves over completely to a look back at January 2021 and the extraordinary horrors of a riot that lasted a few hours, involved people with no weapons, had no looting, fires, community destruction, or police deaths, and saw only one death (at police hands). The whole event was like the Academy Awards. Not the long-distant Academy Awards of beautiful people celebrating movies America loved, of course. Instead, it was the modern Academy Awards, with hate-filled people ranting against Americans, making boring, stupid speeches, and getting interrupted by badly staged musical numbers.

When the Academy Awards began in 1927, it was a private dinner party for a small Hollywood crowd. Eventually, of course, because our entertainment infrastructure is now and always has been ultimately about self-promotion to sell its products, the brains in Hollywood figured out that Americans would like to watch stars dress up and get awards for the movies that Americans had enjoyed the previous year. The system functioned very well for a long time, with families gathering to watch glamor, hear the emcee’s jokes, and lively musical acts.

Slowly, though, as Hollywood went woke, the Awards became boring as the Academy celebrated preachy, anti-American movies that no Americans wanted to see. And then Trump became president and the Academy Awards developed into a Trump hate-fest. The clothes got uglier, the people weirder and angrier, and the whole thing was a parody of Hollywood’s once exuberant celebration of self.

One could say that the zeitgeist of the modern Academy Awards culminated in today’s January 6 observations. It was all there: The angry people, the ugly clothes, the hatred for ordinary Americans, the boring, bizarre speeches,

It seems like coreohraphed activity to demonize conservatives. Genocides have been preceeded by demonization just like this.

They all look like communist trials under Stalin or Mao.

In the House’s version, Nancy honored several policemen, none of whom died on January 6:

Sicknick died of an unrelated stroke, Liebengood and Smith committed suicide, and a Farrakhan-loving Black Nationalist killed Billy Evans in April. Democrats also mentioned two other police officers—Gunther Hashida and Kyle DeFreytag, who both committed suicide in July. The suicides are tragic but there’s no reason to believe that the mêlée on January 6 alone triggered them, after a year of lockdowns, violent D.C. riots and, for Hashida and DeFreytag, more lockdowns in 2021.

The fact democrats tried to blame these deaths on conservative protesters is disgusting...

The Oscars really seemed to go off the rails in the nineties. We used to live blog them here on FR along with major news, court cases. it’s been so long since I cared I don’t know if that still happens. I forgot it was the (pearl clutching) sixth, too busy working

It's a fitting way to recognize January 6, 2021, because it too was choreographed activity to demonize conservatives.

MtnClimber :" The whole event was like the Academy Awards."

It was all 'Political Theater', with the "Mistress of Ceremonies" directing the vocals and indignitaries attention
much the same as she failed to do her job, since security of the Capital was hers in 2021.
There was a rejection of a call for the National Guard, and supplemental policing authorities by her and the D.C. mayor prior to the 'Insurrection".
Instead, the Security was designed to fail whether by omission, or intent.

It’s hard to believe that no on is questioning those “suicides.”

Does any one else find that strange?

All of them acted like complete scumbags. For the moment, they think this is a winning issue? It is not. Even fence sitters were disgusted by their behavior yesterday.

Strange that so many of the capitol police committed suicide. I wonder if they were assisted suicides so that the ‘rats would have some “victims” for this ceremony?

Good. I really hope he investigates this.

If I remember correctly there were FOUR “suicides.”

If that is true, someone should investigate.

Many things in popular culture seemed to go off the rails in the nineties and have accelerated into greater mediocrity and tiresomeness ever since.

The phrase “bad Academy Awards show” is now redundant. There aren’t any good ones.

That’s because they don’t have anything else except covid. They are desperate and running out of chess moves. The game is soon coming to an end.

It IS weird though, that 4 (FOUR) DC police involved with Jan 6th committed suicide in the span of a year. Do we know if they were not Foster’d/Epstein’d?

Excellent points.

Will this be the horse they trot out every year now, while screaming about how Conservatives killed ‘democracy?’

Will they ever understand that we are a Representative REPUBLIC, and NOT a ‘democracy?’

Most likely not. Doesn’t fit their Socialist narrative and schemes. *SPIT*
