    Jan 6 wasn't as big as the left is pretending. In fact, it was rather a nothingburger.

    What about my statement makes you think I don't? I believe qualified individuals should be in their jobs.

    Existing health problems cause strokes. Jan 6 was not the reason he died. He had underlying health issues.

    My mistake labeling it mental illness.

    Better? I didn't say it was better but, the deaths of 2,750+ innocent people sure seems worse than 1 death during the riot of 1/6. I guess some people don't know history very well. Throughout the history of the United States there have been far worst events than an idiotic attempt to breach the Capitol.

    Did it really not occur to you that this is all a lie? The good officer didn't "fall at the insurrection". In fact, no officers died in the course of, or the conduct of their malfeasance. To put a super find point on this, the ONLY person who died during the incident was an unarmed air force veteran woman who was shot by a coward from the Capitol police who shot blindly through a door and killed her.

    This "gold metal" bullshit is a farce. A national disgrace. It's the Schumer/Pelosi make believe hour. And nothing more.

    Well, it was stated from a position that was meant to ignore facts and exonerate a violent horde of orange trugs.

    There are more than 400 who are doing or at least did jail time, and of course the ones in jail for seditious conspiracy is nothing; that is as classless and unpatriotic as one gets.

    Qualifying 1/6 by quantity of deaths is a poor argument, and once again you to compare it with 9/11 is beyond pathetic. It was an insurrection and people are in jail for it.

    never said you don't, only you know if you do or do not

    do you think getting a blood clot from an injury on the job, means a cop is unqualified?

    Then you must be wondering why medals exist in the first place.

    Well that seems an alternative version of reality.

    Well, apparently, even Obama can think of darker moments in history.

    Highly doubtful. He had health issues way before January 6.

    It was going

    No, not at all. I can see giving medals out to those that go beyond the call of duty. But, I don't see any evidence of this being the case here. Imo, it was just an attempt to freshen the memory of how unpatriotic Trump supporters are. What was classless is for the families to snub their noses at McConnell and McCarthy.

    Didn't say it was. What is it you're not understanding? I said I wouldn't call it the worst moment in United State's history. And then I mentioned other examples that I considered worst. Is that simple enough for you?

    The Jan. 6 riot is a prime example of democracy in action.

    I know, right? Because in my world facts are what we use to measure things. Tell us again who died? What was her name? And who killed her again? And why would you want this farce publicized so? The truth is that NOT A SINGLE police officer was harmed, or died during the event. The ONLY person who was killed was killed by a coward who shot through a door and killed an unarmed woman. Do you dispute these facts?

    The lengths to which you folks are willing to publicly push this BS is astounding.
