    January 6th was domestic terrorism. 

    Edit: Trump and his administration’s actions since taking office a second time, like pardoning convicted criminals and trying to erase information and rewrite the history of that day, support that classification.

    Of course they did. It was a peaceful gathering so no need to record it.

    MAGA is delusional.

  3. Trumps Terms on NPR has an excellent 2 part podcast about this. Well worth a listen

  4. Fox tried it just a year or so after when they let Tucker Carlson edit and editorialize over the “footage”. Missing, of course, was the police officers getting attacked, the barricades used as battering rams, and the breaking of government property. Now that Fox is in the government… zero surprise here.

    Looking forward to the NYT’s YouTube video on it going down. Same with the capital police officer who shot Ablshleey being tried for 1st degree murder on a tourist

  6. Everyone knows the True Story of January 6, that was when our honorable leader Donald Trump apologized for all the laws his campaign broke in 2016, apologized for the laws broken in 2020, apologized for his ties to Russia, apologized for trying to make cronies “find votes”, gracefully admitted defeat to Joe Biden, and then he committed to running a fully legal campaign for the 2024 election.

  7. NPR is one of the few national outlets that hasn’t acquiesced in any way.

  8. Good thing there was an entire administration devoted to exacting consequences for actions. Some might think to just *move on* in such a scenario.

  9. Doge scrubbed much more than just this with their data purge. And it’s a shame most of it will probably be gone forever.

    Does America still give out the death penalty for treason?

    These people need to be made an example of.

    I’m absolutely not implying they should die for betraying their country, definitely not.

  11. And the US moves on and nothing changed. Except when that same man was later elected back to office, he quickly decimated the country.

  12. “Oceania was at war with Eurasia and in alliance with Eastasia. In no public or private utterance was it ever admitted that the three powers had at any time been grouped along different lines.”

  13. I don’t understand how anyone can reasonably even try to erase info in 2025. The internet is forever…
