Some days you just look at the blue sky and it reminds you of how clear and blue that Tuesday morning was so long ago.
There will be services and memorials throughout the day across New York, DC, and Pennsylvania. With this being an election year, don't be surprised if the partisan spins come out (and someone accusing Biden of being in charge of the Presidency back in 2001 when it was Dubya and his crew who screwed up).
And yes, I am angry and afraid and upset. If trump steals away the 2020 results with his voter suppression and Russian aid (and any other "legal" trickery he'll encourage) we are facing the nightmare of having THAT Shitgibbon in the White House when the 20th anniversary rolls in next year.
For the LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY, AMERICA, do NOT let that Shitgibbon be there to twist what should be a solemn memorial into his personal ego-stroking. /headdesk

You know, I'm kinda seeing a pattern here. It was August of 2001 when Bush was warned that Bin Laden was determined to strike in the US, and his response to the briefer was "OK, you've covered your ass."
The resulting attack was used by the goddamn Republicans to start two wars and institute the surveillance state we still live under. And torture. And destabilize the middle east for generations.

Fergus was briefed on the dangers of covid in at the latest, January, and possibly as early as December, and his response was "We can't panic the stock market."
190K+ dead and no end in sight. The worst economic slump since the great depression. Tens of thousands of small businesses gone forever.
What will the next Republican president bumblefuck us into?
The Rude Pundit had a few things to say about the revisionist history around the attack that I found bracing as someone who was a continent away from the supposed unity:
