This is the least that can be done for him--he died of injuries from being hit on the head with a fire extinguisher.
The rioters and Instigator in Chief musts be held accountable.
Officer Brian Sicknick will be buried at Arlington National Cemetery.

GOP leadership has targeted Liz Cheney for removal from Congress for voting against Trump, not Marjorie Taylor Greene for threatening the lives of Speaker Pelosi, 4 WOC Congresswomen, trying daily to bring a gun onto the House floor and spewing racist and anti-Semitic rhetoric.

A teacher of mine once told me one of the most obvious signs of a cult is if they aren't able to show respect to members who dissent. Like how are Liz Cheney or Senator McCain's wife or Mitt Romney doing?

I was born + raised in a cult and was lucky to have escaped. All cults - religious, political, and otherwise - are dangerous. There is an inability to see reality coupled with an unwarranted sense of superiority. It is exactly like living in Orwell’s 1984. The GOP is a cult.

Article of Impeachment (2nd) delivered --to Senate Floor.
Three United States presidents have been impeached, although none were convicted: Andrew Johnson in 1868, Bill Clinton in 1998, and Donald Trump in 2019 and 2021. Trump is the only president (and only federal officeholder) to be impeached twice. 1 Democrat and 2 Republicans have been impeached in the US. Richard Nixon resigned as a result of the Watergate Scandal in 1974, after the House Judiciary Committee passed articles of impeachment.
