Nope. It was us and the media. WE moved on. Democrats are still trying to get that plaque up. The Democratic appointed DOJ charged, convicted, and arrested the participants.
Sheer intellectual laziness abounds right now and all for clicks.

I believe the original sin Democrats, and especially the Biden administration, made after January 6th was viewing January 6th as the *end* of something, rather than the *beginning* of something. My post on how to remember this somber anniversary for democracy: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/five-ways-...
Five Ways To Remember January 6th
Too many people saw January 6th as the final aggrieved death throes of Trumpism. We can now understand it was the start of something much darker.

Scores of now-pardoned Jan. 6 insurrectionists will gather from 11:45am for a march to the Capitol starting at the Ellipse.
One insurrectionist who says he's attending: Enrique Tarrio, who was sentenced to prison until 2045 until Trump intervened.

What is going to follow from me is a number of posts regarding someone I have admired and listened to for a long time. Some of you will know of her already. Every now and again, I urge others to pay attention to Fiona Hill.
And every so often, I look to see if she has a Bluesky account. Not yet.

If Putin’s main goal was destabilization of the post WWII world order, I’d say congratulations, white American voters. You did it.

Remember when nobody stopped the Gulf of America?
When nobody stopped him accepting a jet from Qatar?
When nobody stopped the East Wing from getting bulldozed?
Wake the fuck up. The new American empire won't stop with Venezuela.

I do not think this event is good or promising; it is also not one of the worst things this administration has done. Much of the rhetoric seems incommensurate with the reality, as it currently stands.

Hakeem Jeffries was not briefed on the operation, Jake Sherman is now reporting. Neither was House Armed Services Committee. Amazing.
Whatever happens now, we absolutely cannot allow Trump's refusal to seek Congressional authorization for what appears to be a large scale military attack on another country vanish from the media discussion, which already appears to be happening.

I never again want to hear about how the Republican Party is the party of national security. You don’t incinerate our diplomatic capacity & violate all of our treaty commitments if you care about national security.
Context for Trump withdrawing dozens of ambassadors
*China has invested heavily in expanding diplomacy
*The US has significantly degraded soft power
*The US already has scores of diplomatic vacancies

A lot of people in the replies/quotes are admitting that what they wanted was just an authoritarian ("but from the left") who'd order people jailed on his personal say-so, and that really tells you more about the reasons for Trump's re-election than any Harris campaign "post-mortem" ever could.
Question: Did anyone from the White House, including President Biden, ever tell you they expected you to bring charges against Donald Trump?
