Officer Michael Fanone just might be Trump's kryptonite.

Last edited Wed Jul 28, 2021, 09:57 AM - Edit history (1)

I just listened to him on CNN and he is a thoughtful and intelligent person with a great deal of passion, and I think he’s going to create some fire under those Republicans.
I kept thinking Abe Lincoln as I was watching and listening to him, and that’s a thought that has never gone through my mind before about anyone.

I hope this is Trumpism’s “have you no decency” moment.

I’d like to hear that phrase often when repuQs take a reprehensible stand on any issue, which can happen several times a day.

Voted for tfg I believe. Seems to have had a change of heart.
I especially appreciate that he and his partner Jimmy volunteered themselves when they heard on the police radio that there was big trouble at the Capitol. They put on uniforms and waded right into the worst of the insurrection.

bristling anger were devastating. I get the feeling he has a lot more to say, and I hope he gets to say it.

I also couldn’t help but think that if Levon Helm were still alive (if only..), he would play a fantastic Officer Fanone if a movie were made about 1/6.

He is charismatic and well spoken. Also easy on the eyes , sans lumberjack beard. I’m betting “MSNBC or CNN Contributor” is being bounced around the exec tables.

I agree with the characterization of Officer Fanone in your post.

I think he's exceedingly credible, honest and overall a genuine hero. I wish he would be given the medal of freedom.

So for that reason if no other, if you could take a moment and fix the spelling of his name in the title would be great.

thx in advance!


I have a terrible spelling and grammatical writing problem, I totally understand it was likely a typo.

I suffer from the same problem as you, so this is really embarrassing! I’m blaming it on not having my coffee before posting.

Thank you!!

These past few years, I tend to make more grammatical and spelling errors than ever before in my life.

it's an embarrassment. Sometimes I have to edit my posts several times after posting the first round, because of simple errors I somehow missed on the first read. It's almost as if I'm dealing with a recently developed case of dyslexia, or something similar.
