The attack on Paul Pelosi was another January 6th

https://signalpress.blogspot.com/2022/10/another-january-6th-attack.html

First of all, there is an opportunity for the American people to make a clear statement on November the 8th, that this kind of political violence, which is an attempt to subvert constitutional law and the will of the people, is unacceptable. Go vote, and cast a ballot against every politician who has not publicly condemned the January 6th Trump Insurrection, and spoken out against the former President who incited it. The evidence has been laid out clearly, and while all the legal considerations of Trump's involvement and role in inciting the violence are being debated, the people need to speak loudly and clearly.

Second, it's time for the Justice Department to move. The longer they wait, for whatever reason, the greater the chance there will be more of this in the wake of an election that has a real chance of not turning out the way that violent, right wing Republican extremists want to see. And members of Congress are not the only potential victims. Armed insurrectionists and anti-American traitors are sitting outside polling places trying to prevent people from casting legitimate ballots and interfering with a process that is at the very core of our national identity. That is a virtual guarantee that there will be more violence.

It's been clear, for almost two years, that Trump was a traitor who intended to subvert the constitution and set himself up as a dictator. And while I understand all of the need for caution and making sure the case is legally sound, every day that goes by reduces the chance that Trump will ever be held accountable or brought to justice, and increases the danger for anyone who stands up for the constitution, democracy and "law and order" as we know it. It is now time to enforce the law, indict the January 6th perpetrators, hold them accountable, keep them in custody until they are tried and let the law and justice prevail. Send a message. Attacks like January 6th, and its continuation in San Francisco against Paul Pelosi, will not be tolerated.

There are politicians, Marjorie Taylor Greene for one, who have called for the Speaker's trial and execution on grounds of being a traitor. Sarah Palin with her "target." Kari Lake, the GOP candidate for governor of Arizona, has already used her media bias to make this a "whataboutism" and blame it on the left, even though it is the right that is perpetrating the violence. How someone like that gets elected can only be explained by rank ignorance and stupidity, but that's where this comes from. These extremists want to end America as we know it and that makes them traitors, not patriots. They are complicit in this crime.

It's time to prosecute Trump and the other perpetrators of January 6th, now! If we don't say NO to these people, we deserve what we get.

I voted straight Democrat! I do not trust any Republican to not support the toxic Trumpism that is ruining our country.

IMO to be affiliated with the Republican party, or rather the Trumpian affiliate, is unethical. To maintain that affiliation is unethical at this point, and all running as Republicans are by definition unethical. And this is not some wide brushstroke. They have maintained affiliation with a party that has become fascist over the past 6+ years. To remain a Republican is an individual choice.

almost 2 years.

Coddling traitors & insurrectionists only serves to embolden them.

Who is / was the greater public danger? The Black man selling individual cigarettes on a street corner, or a russian asset masquerading as pResident, attempting to overthrow our govt?

Mr. Pelosi is but one very extreme example. I keep thinking of my dad at his age, relatively frail & vulnerable...

Heather Heyer, the people that rwnj shot in WI & far too many school kids are others.

There is no other way, imo. The ruskie assets in Congress must be arrested, along with tfg, and held as dangers to our society & flight risks, pending trials.

Who will be next?
