There WAS a Protest on Jan. 6, 2020….
Of THAT?
There is NO doubt….
It DID turn criminally violent…..
Over 1,000 people charged criminally IS proof….
Congressional lawmakers feared for their lives….
Hiding under their desks….
The Vice President of the United State’s worried that his security people might have to use ‘deadly physical force’ to protect him….
The above IS the REALITY…..
It is three years since….
For at least 24 hours….
The media will place the above in the forefront ….
Tomorrow ?
It will fade from the headlines and continue playing out, mostly in the courts….
President Joe Biden is staking his future in office on reminding 2024 voters of what had happened in 2020 and how the person that urged that action is making a second try to meet the same goal of getting his old job back and getting even with those who are trying to hold him responsible for his actions….
The Majority of American’s have negitive views of the Trump and his supporters actions….
As the GOP appears poised to formally line up behind Trump as its standard-bearer this November, fewer Republicans today call the rioters “criminals” or say the judicial punishments they’ve received are appropriate than in the immediate aftermath of the Capitol attack, polls show.
That’s helped ease Trump’s path to the nomination. But those shifts in public opinion haven’t extended to the rest of the electorate, including independents, suggesting a continued danger for Republicans and an opening for Democrats: GOP voters may increasingly brush it aside, but the Jan. 6 riot continues to be toxic in a general election.
The findings of two polls released this week underscore the risk for the GOP in tapping Trump again, just as Republicans in Iowa and New Hampshire prepare to cast the first votes in the primary contest.
Democrats and independents still hold starkly negative views of Jan. 6, its participants and Trump’s role in stoking the riot. Majorities of Americans overall still believe now-President Joe Biden was elected legitimately, that Trump is guilty of trying to steal the election and that the federal criminal charges in Washington against Trump are appropriate.
Even as surveys generally show Trump running even with the unpopular Biden or leading him narrowly in the horse race, Trump’s refusal to concede the last election and his actions leading up to the Capitol riot are significant liabilities for his candidacy.
And it’s not just a poll-based hypothetical that direct ties to Jan. 6 or broader denial of the 2020 election results are a millstone for Trump and his aligned candidates. Only 14 months ago, voters in the midterms rejected the majority of 2020 election deniers — especially in battleground states — despite a political environment and generic ballot that otherwise favored Republicans.
The latest poll results — conducted ahead of Saturday’s anniversary — show that views of the Jan. 6 violence have changed little overall since 2021….

Donald Trump’s tries to turn things around against President Biden…
As Mr. Biden heads into the final year of his term, his worries that Mr. Trump could stoke more political violence have helped persuade him to make the strength of American democracy the fundamental question of his re-election, according to a longtime aide.
The stakes are especially personal for Mr. Trump given the 91 felony charges against him, many of them stemming from his attempt to cling to power. He often defines threats to democracy as any circumstance that could imperil his path to the presidency, and has assigned blame to Mr. Biden and his allies without evidence.
“They’re willing to violate the U.S. Constitution at levels never seen before in order to win,” Mr. Trump said during a rally last month in New Hampshire. “And remember this: Joe Biden is a threat to democracy — he’s a threat.”
In an email to supporters on Dec. 14, Mr. Trump falsely claimed that Jack Smith, the special counsel leading the federal prosecution of the former president, “was given one order from his boss — try, convict, and sentence Donald Trump to jail before the November 2024 election.”
Mr. Smith is responsible for investigating attempts to interfere with the 2020 election.
“You too could be jailed for life as an innocent man,” Mr. Trump warned supporters in a fund-raising appeal on Dec. 20.
In his attacks on Mr. Biden, the former president has often pointed to the moves by the Colorado Supreme Court and the Maine secretary of state to block Mr. Trump from the primary ballot in those states by citing a constitutional provision that prohibits those who “engaged in insurrection” from holding office….

But James, you told us January 6th “was in the rear view mirror”. And when challenged on that statement you replied with some gobble gook about how politics has moved on.
Moved on from an insurrection? How very Republican.
Keith?
Check todays media front pages…..
Insurection in the form of the 14th Amend is there someplace….
Jan. 6 falls back to the courts….
This isn’t about what things you post today, it’s about what you wrote and then doubled down on.
You said, “Jan 6 is in the rear view mirror” and then wrote other bullshit in defense of that indefensible statement.
This is about you not only not understanding basic politics but your incredible stubbornness in refusing acknowledge your own ignorance.
Jan. 6 WAS Six years ago…..
It IS NOT in the headlines daily…..
Yes….
Over a Thousand people Have been to court….
So in other words it’s not in the rear view mirror James?
It’s front and center in the fight to protect Democracy. Right James?
I was just repeating what you wrote and feebly attempted to defend.
You type before you think, you always have.
I am actually beginning to agree with Corey.
The only reason that your statement wasn’t more aggravating is because only four of us read this blog.
You are repeating what President Biden is finally fronting…..
He will HAVE TO KEEP the Jan 6 worries in the media….
It has been there but NOT prominent….
U can think whatever U want…
I respect that….
But Biden has had to be reminded about bringing the attack back to the forefront…..
Pairing me with CG?
Interesting?
Pairing?
Your reading comprehension matches your political intelligence.
Come ON Keith!…
Get with the program!….

And the January 6th in question was four years ago.
So sad.
Manu Raju@twitter
From my phone, three years ago today. When senators were evacuated and brought back to the Capitol
Same issue as before James, is January 6th in the review mirror?
You told all four of us here that it was.
Do you admit that you were ignorantly wrong, or will you continue to lie?
