Joe Biden is a drowning man grabbing hold of anything that remotely resembles a life raft. His attempt to use Jan. 6th as a savior for his misbegotten presidency reveals more about his party’s predicament than it does about the unsettling events a year ago.
Sounding like a late-night TV pitchman selling cheap garden hoses promising two for the price of one, he began promoting his party’s bid to override state laws to federalize elections as the only logical response.
When it comes to weaponizing Jan. 6th for partisan purposes, Dems don’t know any limitations. Indeed, sometimes it was hard to tell on Thursday if they were commemorating a tragedy or celebrating an opportunity.
The most glaring example of overreach came when the White House equated the storming of the Capitol with 9/11 and Pearl Harbor, a mistake that should live in political infamy. By that token, any and all who entered the Capitol, even those who acted like awed tourists, are as wicked as Osama bin Laden and Japanese militarists of 80 years ago. .......the job of making the ludicrous comparison was given to Kamala Harris, the hapless vice president, only added to the absurdity. She probably had to stifle a cackle when handed the script.
The essence of the problem is that Biden and party leaders, facing massive voter discontent with his failed leadership on the economy, the pandemic and other areas, have seized on the Capitol riot to portray it as an actual “insurrection” that threatened America.

A handy list to slap back in the faces of filthy libs who accuse Trump supporters of “insurrection.”
1. Attempt to pack the Supreme Court
2. Attempt to overturn the filibuster
3. Intentionally allow our southern border to sit undefended as hundreds of thousands of unknown illegals stream unfettered into the US
4. Intentionally let drug cartels flow Fentanyl into this country
5. In the dead of night, quietly fly untested, unvaxxed, unvetted illegal aliens into the interior
6. Release violent criminals – including murderers and sex offenders — onto the streets to kill and rape again, in the name of “social justice.”
7. Institute destructive, unnecessary restrictions on society in the name of “mitigating COVID”
8. Openly aid, abet and defend BLM and NAMBLANTIFA terrorists who burn, loot and murder their way across America
9. Defund police in crime-ridden cities, then blame “racism,” COVID and whatever available boogeyman when violent crime inevitably skyrockets
10. Force-feed schoolchildren marxist-based CRT garbage, pitting races against one another
11. Push sexually charged lesson material in schools and attempt to entice children to renounce their gender
12. Attack parents who protest the perversion of school lesson content and liken them to “terrorists”
All by the democrats. So, who again are the “insurrectionists?”
This whole Jan 6th fraud absolutely reeks of desperation. Fortunately the American people see right thru it as inflation rages and the labor market crumbles.
Too bad for Dementia Joe that the peaceful protest turned into “insurrection” by the Left happened in January and not closed to Election Day. Don’t worry Dementia Joe you and your Rats will see your democracy in full action come November 2022. Virginia was just the start.
Your list is accurate, and that’s very scary. I really don’t know how anyone who actually loves our nation could ever vote for them.
Desperate Dems celebrated Jan 6, deeming it a political windfall for the flailing party’s election chances. It was tinged w/ Hollywood-style touches:
<><>a VP who got her job by sleeping w/ the right people,
<><>an angry political elite,
<><>hatred for ordinary Americans,
<><>boring, bizarre speeches,
<><>a weird musical segment.
And the award goes to Nancy Pelosi for her role in Exploiting Political Opportunism.
Dementia Joe will see democracy in full action come November 2022. Virginia was just the start.
Do they ever learn? Stumping for loser Mc Auliffe, Biden invoked Trump 23 times and got a Republican elected handily.

EXCERPT By declaring the Jan. 6th riot an “insurrection,” some Democratic members of Congress and liberal activists hope to bar incumbent Republicans from running. Even support for court filings is now being declared an act of rebellion.
Speaker Pelosi helped fuel this movement — before Jan. 6 even occurred — by declaring that the Republicans supporting election challenges were “subverting the Constitution by their reckless and fruitless assault on our democracy which threatens to seriously erode public trust in our most sacred democratic institutions, and to set back our progress on the urgent challenges ahead.”
However, it has not been treated legally as an insurrection.
Those charged for their role in the attack that day are largely facing trespass and other less serious charges — rather than insurrection or sedition.
That’s because this was a riot that was allowed to get out of control by grossly negligent preparations by Capitol Police and congressional officials.
While the FBI launched a massive national investigation, it did not find evidence of an insurrection.
Peaceful Demands For Secure Elections Do Not Constitute ‘Insurrection’

To corrupt media, Democrats, and Big Tech, anyone who protested the 2020 election is no different than the fools who stormed the U.S. Capitol.
On the one-year anniversary of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, the corporate media is working overtime to convince the American public that Republicans as a whole stormed the nation’s beacon of democracy at the beginning of 2021 and have waged a war on all that is good and decent. While lunatics and fools did invade the Capitol last January, tens of thousands of Americans peacefully assembled to demand answers from the government about what they believed to be the sloppiest election in which they’ve ever voted.
Political violence should always be condemned, but a majority of the people present in Washington, D.C., and on the Capitol grounds on Jan. 6 weren’t violent.
Yes, hundreds of people stormed the U.S. Capitol in a riot, but tens of thousands of people of all ages, races, backgrounds, and lifestyles gathered together that day at the Save America Rally to protest the Democrats’ sleazy election manipulation and hear from President Donald Trump. ——Snip———
Goodwin writes an article that makes sense and ends with the craziest, dumbist, stupidist conclusion that ever existed:
==================================================================Trump defeated Clinton because of the excesses of the Obama administration, which she promised to double down on. And Biden beat Trump despite the incumbent’s policy success because enough voters tired of the president’s personality.
If that pattern holds, both this year’s midterms and the 2024 election will go to the party that plays to the middle instead of just its hard-core base. So far, neither side looks like it wants to win.
I think Goodwin is nuts.
I agree with some of what Goodwin has written, but still think he is on the media plantation. He dismisses the Steal of Nov 2020 and what we all plainly witnessed during those two months and the 4 years prior.
I expected better.
Definitely some cognitive dissonance going on.
That list is still short. You could add in “attempt to pass laws that allow election fraud”, “make rules that make the US energy dependent and costlier”, and “run the economy into the ground and create spikes in inflation the hurt American families”. And on and on.
Things fail often with a counterfeit president stair master Biden can’t get up.
Well written article. Dems are evil and we know that. The question is, what is the GOP doing about it.
