The Democrats' January 6 observances were like a bad Academy Awards show

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,

And what is even more entertaining is that like the Hollywood awards shows they do this in their own bubble with only their own people watching and slapping each other on the backs totally and completely unaware that most Americans, when exposed to their show, are perplexed as to how these ignorant boobs can even get elected much less do the damage they are doing.

On TV this morning, there was a clip of one of these congressional criminals saying that to this day they’re still “traumatized” for having to put on a gas mask that day as people were “pounding on the doors”.

Some things that should be asked, is it SOP for members of Congress to be issued gas masks?

We’re all members issued masks, or was it a chosen few taking part in the Kabuki theater?

When were these masks issued?

“The suicides are tragic but there’s no reason to believe that the mêlée on January 6 alone triggered them”

It could be because of what they knew?

I think you’re right - there was some internal conflict going on...

Not a lot of information is coming out... which means democrats aren’t including it in their ‘news packets’ gifts to their butt boys in the press. Which means they’re hiding something.

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.
