Brian Sicknick, the slain U.S. Capitol Police officer who was given the rare distinction of lying in honor in the Capitol Rotunda, received a final tribute from lawmakers Wednesday. President Biden and first lady Jill Biden joined Sicknick's family members and colleagues from the Capitol Police in a period of visitation on Tuesday night.

Sicknick, 42, died from injuries he sustained fending off members of the mob that breached the Capitol complex on Jan. 6.

For people like MSG, Sicknick is a traitor for defending the United States capitol building from insurrectionists.

MSG is the byproduct of brain damage and Facebook memes.

He's a typical, low intellect Trump voter.

Wall Street Journal pans Trump Jan. 6 pardons: Law and order?'
thehill.com

... The editorial board of The Wall Street Journal is criticizing President Trump's decision to pardon more than 1,500 his supporters who attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

"This is a rotten message from a President about political violence done on his behalf, and it's a bait and switch," the Journal wrote in an editorial published late Tuesday. "What happened that day is a stain on Mr. Trump's legacy. By setting free the cop beaters, the President adds another." ...

Man Who Stomped on Officers' Heads Among Jan. 6 Prisoners Pardoned by Trump

... David Dempsey, a man convicted of stomping on police officers' heads during the January 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol building, was among those pardoned by President Donald Trump on Monday. ...

The blanket pardons for the J6 prisoners apparently was one of the most important things that Pres Trump thought he should do as he re-entered the Oval Office, as the blanket pardons were among the very first Executive Orders he signed.

Trump keeps his promises.

@#10 ... Trump keeps his promises. ...

Actually he doesn't.

He promised to end the Russia's unprovoked invasion of a sovereign Ukraine on day 1.

Did he?

I would never di,imish the heroism and sacrifice of Officer Sicknick; but there was another hero that day. He didn't lose his life but he displayed real couragr when he stood up to Trump and did his Constitutional duty to certify the electiion. Mike pence deserves a medal for doing his duty with sngry crazy mobs, who Trump just pardoned, were toaming througgh the Capital chanting that they wanted to murder Mike Pence. I hope Mike lives until the day Donald Trump either dies or is impeached. I suspect he is too self-efacing to laugh out loud but I'll bet there will be the hint of a smile on his face.
