8. And there are a few specific GOPers who owe these officers their lives--

Lemme think... oh, MIKE PENCE who the mob wanted to hang. (And his wife who was with him, but Mike apparently isn't grateful about her either.)

Romney who was stopped from going towards the attackers by an officer.

The congressman (Chip Roy?) who was cowering behind an officer in the gallery as Ashli Babbitt and her fellows tried to break in.

McCarthy, who was so terrified he even yelled at his dictator Trump on the phone, but kept safe by the officers.

They all have pernicious amnesia. "What? Me scared of a few tourists! No way!"

5. "We are all Americans today"

Great quote

10. Like it Used To Be..

and can be again. People can agree on some issues and disagree on others. It isn't always all or nothing, with every vote along party lines. He is showing us how this can happen. It was this way for much of my life. It started to change, I think, to become us vs. them, with Nixon, then increased with Reagan.
