Yes. We had the radio on yesterday morning. Listening to NPR and the testimony from Cops who were besieged at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. You know, the brave Police Officers who were defending the Congress and the count of the Electoral Votes in the Senate to certify Joe Biden's landslide election.
What was our reaction to the testimony? It was all quite disturbing. Words that bubble up: horrifying, gut-wrenching, heart-rending, emotionally-draining.
We relived moments of that terrible day. A day when the MAGA-hatted, White Supremacist, American Fascist movement tried to impede and destroy our little Democratic experiment. All based on Trump's Big Lie.
All the testimony was riveting and disturbing. Everyone should take the time to listen. We came so close to an even more horrific day. Luckily, the MAGAs were repelled and expelled, and now many of them are facing major jail-time. A crime against the America Dream committed by the Trump Fascist Nihilistic Death Cult.
The one question that hangs over the whole hearings, one that is still resounding in my head this morning:
Officer Hodges: "I need you guys to address if anyone in power had a role in this, if anyone in power coordinated, or aided or abetted, or tried to downplay, tried to prevent the investigation of, this terrorist attack."
