After delays, the missing Jan. 6 plaque will be displayed at the Capitol

[Dulcinea]

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate has agreed to display a plaque honoring the police who defended the Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021, attack, rebuffing House Speaker Mike Johnson, who has said the commemorative memorial does not comply with the law.

The action happened swiftly, with brief debate, in floor action Thursday. Republican Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina had announced during this week’s fifth anniversary of the Capitol siege that he would seek to ensure the plaque is installed, partnering with Democratic Sen. Jeff Merkley of Oregon, who was also working on the situation, and Democratic Sen. Alex Padilla of California. No senators objected.

“A lot of people said it was a dark day for democracy,” Tillis said about Jan. 6, 2021, describing his memory of hearing the thousands of people — “thugs,” he said — lay siege to the Capitol as Congress was tallying the 2020 election results.

1. Some good news

Should never have been an issue, but glad it’s happening!

Johnson is such an ass.

2. Sending a big middle finger to Mikey, the hapless Trump flunky

3. Really looking forward to Holy Mike, disgracing us before Parliament.

Of all the people who could be representing us, in honor of the 250th anniversary. Beyond shameful...

4. He'll probably "reinterpret" that whole "church & state separation" while lecturing the Brits...

Likewise reinterpret the Magna Carta.

Horrible cretin, that one.
