Following the riot, during which Trump supporters stormed the Capitol building, Schumer gave a speech on the Senate floor in which he said January 6 was a date which would “live in infamy,” mirroring President Franklin Roosevelt’s speech after the Pearl Harbor attack.
“It is very, very difficult to put into words what has transpired today. I have never lived through or even imagined an experience like the one we have just witnessed in this Capitol. President Franklin Roosevelt set aside Dec. 7, 1941, as a day that will live in infamy. Unfortunately, we can now add Jan. 6, 2021, to that very short list of dates in American history that will live forever in infamy,” said Schumer, before going on to label rioters “domestic terrorists.”

Greenwald shot back by lambasting Schumer for his hyperbolic comparison.
“Obviously, it’s obscene to compare yesterday’s events at the Capitol to 9/11 or (as Schumer did) Pearl Harbor: obscene and reckless,” tweeted Greenwald.
For that simple attempt to urge restraint and deliberation, Lee was vilified as an anti-American who harbored sympathy for the terrorist attackers. Yet 20 years later, it's hard to deny it was actually brave prescience, and that voices of restraint at times of trauma are vital.

The journalist went on to urge Americans to exercise “restraint and deliberation” in response to yesterday’s events.
The attack on Pearl Harbor killed over 2,400 Americans and wounded a further 1,178.
Four people tragically lost their lives as a result of yesterday’s chaos, all of whom it appears were Trump supporters who stormed the building, including a 14-year Air Force veteran who was shot in the neck by police.
To compare what happened yesterday to Pearl Harbor or 9/11 is clearly demented and part of a ploy to exploit the riot to justify another political crackdown.

It is a tangled web TLPTB are weaving Donkey…
Greenwald is one of the few political commentators who is not insane.
Greenwald says: “Trump supporters who stormed the building”-my understanding of at least some of the events was that the DC police-the same police who at a previous gathering forced Trump supporters to be funneled into a confined area full of BLM thugs-allowed (encouraged?) the people to enter after police took down the barriers. With that as a pretext, can Greenwald offer up accurate detail on exactly who got into the building and how did they get in?
My guess is some ‘stormed in’ and some ‘walked in’; some were Antifa and some were not, some got killed and some did not. Using a broad brush to indict one group when it certainly appears another group-and a domestic terrorist group at that (direct reference to Antifa)-was also involved, and may have been the instigator, in entering the building.
Words matter.
“To compare what happened yesterday to Pearl Harbor or 9/11 is clearly demented and part of a ploy to exploit the riot to justify another political crackdown”.
Let me fix this:
“To compare what happened yesterday to Pearl Harbor or 9/11 is clearly demented and part of a ploy to exploit the ‘FALSE FLAG’ to justify another political crackdown”.
This is all such a bad joke. Not one word as the cities burned inflaming the black commnity which was good for the election. Not one word against true domestic terrorists BLM and Antifa. Not one MSM report showing Antifa members in the Capital creating chaos. The deep state is so afraid of Trump and his populism they had to discredit him to minimize his impact on make believe Republican party after January 20th. the fact that 4 innocents were murder is simply collateral damage as they decided Trump must go. Hope you are all proud of yourselves Clinton, Obama, Soros, Biden, Schumer, Pelosi and the rest of the clowns. This entire Coup which began in 2016 is disgusting and I am not sure 75 million American’s are going to accept it.
Hey chucky: TORA TORA
Schumer would prefer it “Torah, Torah, Torah.”
I’d compare Chuckie Schumer to a piece of shit….they both have the same intellect .
And like the Orange Zionist grifter he is an
Israeli-firster who is all about about MIGA!
I doubt Chuckie can ever be bothered to go to Synagouge.
Both could be used to fertilize the Tree of Liberty
What will he call it when the people come for him with rope in hand?
Cryin Chuck is lucky he is not swinging from a lamppost somewhere. Along with many other crooks in Washington.
OAC has been told her masters have their eye on Schumer’s slot.
I would say that 01/06/21 was a day that Merika had the same level of security from our military and leaders that we had on 09/11/01 (and I use the term leaders loosely). That happens when something in “Plain Sight” is occurring while the sheep get the big red, white and blue pud up their backside.
‘bammy fired all the good ones.
schmucky can go suck a dozen fucking raw eggs. Although I wasn’t born in ’41, a lot of my family has served for decades since then.
He has no clue what war does to a man, or his family. I personally am a happy volunteer to make the first lash should he be sentenced to flogging.
….for the snowflakes/squeamish who don’t truly understand what flogging is, look it up buttercup. Think twice before you speak schumcky..
“This temple to democracy was desecrated” said the POS Schumer.
Our “temple” has been desecrated by the greasy inhabitant politicians for decades.
Yesterday’s activities were the result of the fallen institutions of this country.
Arbitrarily starting with Hillary deleting 33,000 subpoenaed emails and excused by the slime ball Comey because there was no bad intent. How ludicrous? Trump’s incoming administration spied on by another POS Obama and a gang of conspirators from the alphabet agencies was just the beginning. We suffered 4 years of bogus investigations and attempts to oust a duly elected President. The FEDERAL RESERVE printing $ Trillions to the benefit of Wall St and the detriment of Main St. Egregious criminal activity throughout our govt and perpetrated by our so called leaders that went unchecked and routinely covered up by the FBI and DOJ was beyond disturbing. However, minor to even nonexistent crimes ruthlessly prosecuted by the same agencies.
A two tiered legal systems exists for insiders and outsiders. A blatantly stolen election and an elected cretin with his tramp VP installed by the Deep State and certainly beyond the desires of the people who are supposed to select the inhabitants of these offices.
These are the things that set the stage for events in January 6th. Is it any wonder why? It’s surprising to me more severe retaliation didn’t occur.
By the way the “rioters” were invited in by Capitol police who removed gates and waved the crowd in like an aircraft directed in at an airport. A suspicious crowd of “rioters”at that.
Listening to the pious judgement of a sickening mainstream media and slime ball politicians was hypocritical blame shifting for years of crimes. Those who most ardently expressed their outrage at those who protested are the ones who contributed most to mess seen in our govt.
Inversion of truth and reality on an epic scale is what we live with and it’s all sickening.
See the Capitol police usher in the “rioters”.
See the Capitol Police usher in the “rioters”
Schumer is a moron and the only people dumber than him are the idiots who vote for him. A suicidal jew who is more than happy to destroy America no matter what the price.
