US Biden to mark Jan. 6 anniversary with citizens medal - Good morning it's Jan 6

President Biden will mark the second anniversary of the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol with a ceremony at the White House at which he will award the Presidential Citizens Medal to 12 election officials and law enforcement officers.

Among those being honored on Friday is former Arizona House Speaker Rusty Bowers (R), who refused to overturn his state’s election results in 2020 despite pressure from then-President Trump and others.

Bowers and other election officials garnered widespread national attention amid the Jan. 6 House select committee’s investigation as the panel revealed the pressure put on state officials behind the scenes by Trump allies.

The mob of Trump supporters that breached the Capitol in early 2021 sought to block Biden’s electoral victory, forcing lawmakers to be rushed to safety and then-Vice President Pence, who was presiding, to be escorted to a secure area.

Attorney General Merrick Garland has called the federal response to the riot “one of the largest, most complex, and most resource-intensive investigations in our history.”

“We remain committed to ensuring accountability for those criminally responsible for the January 6 assault on our democracy,” Garland said in a statement. “And we remain committed to doing everything in our power to prevent this from ever happening again.”

Advocates and former D.C. Police Officer Michael Fanone are marking the anniversary Friday by calling on Republicans to publicly condemn political violence.

The Jan. 6 panel released its final 840-page report last month, with key testimony from Trump administration figures and others connected to the former president. The panel recommended criminal charges against Trump.

Jan. 6 by the numbers:

• 950+: People arrested in nearly all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
• 484: Guilty pleas.
• 350: People the FBI continues to seek information on.
• $500,000: Reward for information leading to the arrest of the still unidentified person who left pipe bombs near the Republican National Committee and Democratic National Committee headquarters near the Capitol.

*Figures according to Justice Department as of January 2023.

most resource-intensive

Resources well spent I'm sure

 

[LurkTrawl]

Do these dumbasses not realize that making such a big deal out of such a non-event makes them look like massive pushover pussies?

I mean seriously. If a bunch of looney boomers and mindless gen z'ers pissing on your furniture and being rowdy is enough to shatter your shitter this fucking hard you clearly don't qualify for nor deserve a position of leadership over anything more important than a janitorial crew.

 

[Baguette Child]

Hey, it's not like we can expect them to investigate J6 without massive quantities of hookers and blow.

Resources well spent I'm sure

 

[CowPox]

The past six or seven years has made me realize just how fake all of history most likely is.

 

[Sniperwoof]

Very Soviet vibes with the show trials, and the fake medals, and fake ceremonies, honoring fake heroes, for fake deeds.

 

[Miller]

I hope Ray Epps will get a medal.

the still unidentified person who left pipe bombs near the Republican National Committee and Democratic National Committee headquarters near the Capitol.

I wonder what happened to that...

It makes you wish J6 was even a fraction as bad as they say it was, doesn't it?

 

[AnotherPleb]

I wonder what happened to that...

The glowies expected at least one congresscritter to die that day, or at least get injured. Yet the only person that died that day was Ashley Babbit. The protestor that was shot. The only wound those locusts got that day was to their egos.

If they'd found their sacrificial congresscritter to kill then they would have set off those bombs, and the narrative on the Boomer Tour would have had gravitas to it.

 

[Jimjamflimflam]

Friendly reminder, Alec Baldwin killed more people then the entire Jan 6 "mob". Another friendly reminder, BLM killed more people and caused more damage then Jan 6.

The only difference here is that this is the first time the elites had to confront their consistuents and they ran away like dogs with their tail stuck between their legs.

 

[heathercho]

Will Ashil Babbitt's murderer get another medal?

 

[Negg]

REMEMBER THE 6,000,000 WHO DIED ON JANUARY 6th

 

[JosephStalin]

They know what they can do with those medals.

Remember, congress got publicly cucked. That's why they have been so harsh on people. But the cuckstamp remains. And congress wonders why people no longer respect them or take them seriously.

 

[NOT Andy Kaufman]

Brandon should award a medal to Ye and endorse him for POTUS 2024.

 

[Fluoxetine Man]

The past six or seven years has made me realize just how fake all of history most likely is.

The late and great Norm McDonald said it best.

'It says here in this history book that luckily, the good guys have won every single time. What are the odds?'

 

[round robin]

Annual reminder that these people fucking hate you.

 

[General Emílio Médici]

Never forget July 6th guys

 

[Snekposter]

I just love how one of the guys who is getting this medal was subjected to harassment and racial slurs. I'm sure his fellow officers who really did get roughed up (because yes, the mob was unruly even if not deliberately violent and these things happen when you have unruly mobs) are very appreciative of his steadfast bravery holding the line.
