UK Armed Forces Undersecretary Alistair Carns on Trump’s statement that they stayed behind the front lines in Afghanistan: “I served 5 tours alongside Americans. We shed blood, sweat and tears together. There’s only one thing worse than working with allies - and that is working without them.”

In 2021, they condemned January 6 as “un-American,” “mob violence,” even “domestic terrorism.” Then they told us to “move on.” Now they’re dragging it back—not to protect democracy, but to protect Trump from history.

They condemned the mob in 2021. Now they’re helping Trump rewrite the day that will define him.

Here is one of the many facts Yuval Levin, a conservative, presented during his interview with Ezra Klein, and which he is concerned about - you are far superior when you go into politics to defend and preserve something rather than hating something.

I think it’s basically time to retire the peace prize because it really is meaningless at this point. Another 100+ year-old tradition cheapened, wrecked, and discredited by the gauche garish gangster.

A third of the White House was destroyed, the Kennedy Center was desecrated. Many of our best civil servants and military officers have been fired, or have quit in disgust. God knows what Elon Musk is doing with our data.
Republicans don't know it, but they're throwing themselves off a cliff.

If the capitol police reacted on Jan 6 the way ICE did in this encounter there would have been dozens dead
There was amazing restraint and heroism by the U.S. Capitol Police and the Metropolitan Police Department on Jan. 6, 2021. They were viciously attacked by rightwing extremists and rioters incited by Trump.
Also, by their own standards, the cops protecting the Capitol on Jan 6 should have opened fire all over.

Five years since January 6, 2021.
A mob incited by Donald Trump attacked the U.S. Capitol to try to overturn an election he lost.
Don’t let them rewrite history. This was an attack on the Constitution and the peaceful transfer of power.
Never forget.
