Joe Biden slammed for forgetting 9/11 attacks, calls Capitol riots 'worst attack' on democracy since Civil War
Trump advisor Jason Miller tweeted: 'Worst attack on our Democracy since the Civil War? Not 9/11? Not Pearl Harbor???'

"As I stand here tonight — just one day shy of the 100th day of my administration. 100 days since I took the oath of office, lifted my hand off our family Bible, and inherited a nation in crisis," Biden said. "The worst pandemic in a century. The worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. The worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War. Now, after just 100 days, I can report to the nation: America is on the move again. Turning peril into possibility. Crisis into opportunity. Setback into strength. Life can knock us down," Biden said. "But in America, we never stay down. In America, we always get up. And today, that's what we're doing: America is rising anew. After 100 Days of rescue and renewal, America is ready for takeoff. 100 days ago, America's house was on fire. We had to act."

January 6, 2021: The New Kristallnacht, Pearl Harbor, 9/11?
Hardly. And the hyperbole isn’t helping the situation.
by PAUL KENGOR January 12, 2021, 6:20 PM
- Former California Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger compared the event to Kristallnacht. Yes, you read that right.
“Wednesday was the day of broken glass right here in the United States,” Schwarzenegger averred, no doubt to the delight of Hollywood liberals. “The broken glass was in the windows of the United States Capitol. But the mob did not just shatter the windows of the Capitol. They shattered the ideas we took for granted.”
- Prominent Never Trumper David French came up with maybe the strangest description of all, dubbing the moment a “Christian insurrection.”
“I’m going to be honest,” wrote French. “I can’t shake the sadness. I can’t shake the anger. We have to be clear about what happened in Washington D.C. on January 6th. A violent Christian insurrection [emphasis original] invaded and occupied the Capitol.”
- Worse, our incoming president, Joe Biden the Healer, has done nothing to calm the waters. After taking aim at the “riotous mob” of “domestic terrorists” — directly charging Donald Trump with “inciting a mob to attack the Capitol” — the incoming president himself groped for some Nazi analogies. He generously added Sens. Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley to his Trump–Goebbels category. “They’re part of the big lie, the big lie,” stammered Biden, as liberals swooned over their new healer. “I was being reminded by a friend of mine, and maybe you were with me, I can’t recall, when we told that, you know, Goebbels and the great lie, you keep repeating the law, repeating the lie.”
Gee, thanks, Joe. That’s how you calm things.
But Biden wasn’t finished. In his most recklessly divisive charge all week, he racialized the toxic situation. “No one can tell me that if it had been a group of Black Lives Matter protesters yesterday that they wouldn’t have been treated very differently than the mob that stormed the Capitol,” Biden proclaimed. “We all know that’s true — and it’s unacceptable.”
- Yet another Democrat leader, Chuck Schumer, lunged for Pearl Harbor analogies. “President Franklin Roosevelt set a day aside that will live in infamy,” observed Schumer. “Unfortunately, we can now add January 6, 2021, to that very short list of dates in American history that will live forever in infamy.”
What Schumer is really telling us there is his goal: to try to equate the event with December 7, 1941. That is, the event that brought America into a world war.
- Heck, why not call it another 9/11?
Actually, that’s being done. Professor Jeremi Suri, Mack Brown Distinguished Chair for Leadership in Global Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin, described by Insider Higher Ed magazine as a “scholar of democracy,” described the event at the Capitol as “another 9/11 attack on the U.S. government by terrorists.” He said that “the attackers are motivated by xenophobia, racism and hate” and equated them with the beheaders of Al-Qaeda. Actually, that apparently wasn’t extreme enough for Suri, who went much further, equating the GOP leadership with Al-Qaeda: “Today’s terrorism is at the heart of the Republican Party, which now, in much of its leadership, has become a white supremacist Al Qaeda.”

Imagine 9/11, only no press conferences explaining what happened or what was ongoing, and a third of Congress expressing sympathy with Al Qaida and urging us to forget the attack in the name of unity.

The House must as an immediate step pass a domestic terrorism statute, with a focus on white supremacist terrorism, and send it to the Senate.

Beat me to it.
Jan 6 2021: The worst thing since the Holocaust, the extinction of the dinosaurs and Thanos.
I don't have to. I remember it.
Burn in hell, tyrants and traitors.
Remember when the Weather Underground, a left-wing domestic terrorist organization that included Bill Ayers (who helped launch the presidential campaign of Barak Obama), literally bombed both Congress and the Pentagon in the early 70s?
Or what about when a deranged Bernie Sanders supporter attempted to assassinate multiple republican congressmen at a softball game just a few years ago? I bet Steve Scalise remembers that one.
They will never stop clutching pearls about January 6th
I didn't expect him to bring up the fact that they rigged the election but there it is.
I maintain that as things get worse, January 6th is going to be remembered fondly among outraged masses who watched prices explode, lost their jobs, lost their pensions, lost their mortgages, lost their businesses, and are still in a "partial lockdown" in 2024.
If you go back to civil war, you might as well say “IN THE HISTORY OF AMERICA!!!”
Fucking retard.
More and more, I almost wish 1/6 would be what the lefties screech about. But then we wouldn't have to worry about them since they'd have been convicted of treason, so...
1/6 proved to those willing to act that any form of Peaceful Protest won’t effect change.
