Last week was such a shitshow that we cats never really got around to mentioning that Tuesday was the fifth anniversary of the Trump-incited 2021 attack on the US Capitol. But of course it was, and — true to form — the White House unveiled a timeline on its website that blamed Democrats and the police for the riot. It's up to the rest of us to make sure that they're not allowed to twist history for good.
At the same time, though, another crack appeared in Benedict Donald's Congressional support system, as the Republican-controlled Senate unanimously voted to hang the January 6 plaque honoring the Capitol Hill police and other defenders of democracy that day. (Mikey Johnson and his Trumpy minions in the House have been refusing to hang it, even though its display is required by law. MAGA Republicans don't care much about the law these days, do they?)
The vote in the Senate was unanimous. While we wait for someone on the Capitol custodial staff to find the real plaque, here's a suggestion for every Democratic member of both chambers: Hang a replica on the wall outside your office.
Several members already do this. (This photo is from outside Rep. Jamie Raskin's door.) But everybody should. Democrats could also post a small banner with it, saying something like "We truly back the blue." Let everybody know what liars and hypocrites the Republicans are.
PS: Each Democratic member might want to order 100 or so extra replicas. Because you never know when a pardoned Jan-Sixer or other sick Trumpster will wander by and try to tear it down. We cats HISS.
