(16,199 posts)Her account was horrific. She and her fellow officers experienced something they never dreamed of..as she said. I get so damned angry as we know what happened n will be getting more information but will there ever be a reckoning?

(205,320 posts)Not to mention, we know that not all of them survived. They deserve a decisive reckoning if anyone does, they were heroes in the face of overwhelming odds. But this was an awesome start, there are no excuses now.

(16,199 posts)No plaques or accommodations is good enough for these officers who went beyond their call of duty. Head injuries. Loss of fingers. Brain injuries.the ultimate..loss of life. They were never prepared for this and tfg could not n would not call off the mob. This is criminal n I expect before I get too much older, Ill be seeing tfg get his ultimate loss of freedom.

(16,199 posts)Im expecting that the committee has documents that will encompass n seal it for a few of tfgs wanna bes. If so, Im hoping the voters do the right thing n fire em. This would never happen but I could be happy if their retirement n benefits were revoked n the taxpayers get a refund.

(205,320 posts)More recently, what about the classified documents he stole? January 6th was the worst and people died, but there were also the "fake electors" and the phone calls he made to bully secretaries of states to "find" votes. Not to mention that he was the one who called his supporters to the Capitol, said he'd "be there with them." We'd already seen those tapes.

(205,320 posts)That's how Liz Cheney started the hearings, she even showed Washington's picture. We have never had such an ignorant POTUS before, no experience, no knowledge of history, the Constitution or U.S. law - no loyalties except to himself and his pursuit of money and power.
