I ask this all the time, but only because Democrats are constantly creating new ways to make things up: If Democrats have the truth on their side, why do they lie so often? I phrase it differently sometimes: If Donald Trump is so horrible, why do Democrats have to lie about him so much? The point of each is the same – reality does Democrats no favors. Their philosophy is responsible for more than 100 million dead in the last century, and that’s not counting the people killed in the wars they started. Human life ranks up there with truth in the priorities of Democrats, which is a major component in why I can’t stand these people.

Unless you watch MSNBC all day long, you probably don’t know the name Aquilino Gonell. Nor should you. 

He’s a former Capitol Police officer who was on the job on January 6th, 2021. Naturally, the only reason anyone knows his name is he’s a hack leftist happy to be a willing tool for Democrats. As such, he’s now sending out fundraising emails for Joe Biden, because why not?

His email opens, “On January 6, 2021, I almost died defending the Capitol from insurrectionists inspired by Donald Trump's false claims that the 2020 election was stolen.”

I didn’t realize he “almost died” that day. Considering no officers died that day, one almost dying seems like it would’ve been news. I read on…

“After fighting with multiple rioters, I suffered career-ending (physical, mental, and moral) injuries and was trampled in a tunnel holding the police line and defending my colleagues and your elected leader regardless of their political views or party,” Gonell writes. 

My first thought was to question what the hell a “moral” injury was and how that could end a career, because it sounds pretty stupid. Then I looked up what his injuries were, at least insofar as they were reported in the press. 

MSNBC, likely to be one of the most sympathetic outlets reporting on the subject, described what he suffered this way, “Gonell was injured in his hands, his left shoulder, his left calf and his right foot in his efforts to protect the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.”

Any injury is serious, and no doubt painful, but “life-threatening”? 

Traumatic, sure. But I don’t see how that’s life-threatening at all. And the “trauma” never stopped him from being a human prop for Democrats, either on TV or in hearings. A willing tool is still a tool. 

“I fought for our democracy that day, and I am still fighting for it today,” Gonell writes. “That includes doing everything I can to make sure Donald Trump -- the man who calls the January 6 insurrectionists who nearly took my life ‘patriots’ and literally salutes them, is never elected president again. So today, I am asking you to do something important to make sure that never happens. Can you please use this link to make a contribution directly to Joe Biden's reelection campaign?”

So, he can’t do his job because he’s been “morally” injured, but he’s “still fighting” by whining about what he went through? So gross.

There are “useful idiots” and just idiots, I’ll let you decide which Gonell is. 

He closes his email with, “Donald Trump failed on January 6, but it wasn't for lack of trying. We can't let him return to the White House.” 

This guy sounds like a Rachel Maddow monologue. And weirdly, even though he “resigned” from his job as a Capitol Police Officer (my guess is he took early retirement or some kind of union disability deal for his moral trauma), he’s wearing his uniform in the picture they used of him, which appears to be from a Congressional hearing of some sort. Seems a little unethical, and I’d dare even say “immoral,” to use a photo of yourself in your uniform to raise funds for partisan political purposes. The military would catch hell for doing it, why should the Capitol Police be any different?

Of course, when dealing with Democrats the rules simply do not apply. Standards simply do not apply. And reality simply does not apply. It’s a big part of the reason I just can’t stand these people.
