| It's been 19 years since 9/11/2001. |
BE WARNED THERE WILL BE GRAPHIC VIDEO AND IMAGES.
A different type of a September 11th.
Donald J. Trump, Mike Pence, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris honor the lives of those killed in one of the most deadliest attacks on homeland soil.
With COVID-19, it's been a different type of memorial.
We have over 225,000 Americans killed from a deadly disease Trump failed to take action on. We have four issues going on in the United States. He believes we've turned the page on the coronavirus.
He is so fucking wrong.
A deadly virus spreading with no sign of hope in a vaccine or a cure.
Climate change which led to more deadlier wildfires, hurricanes, tornadoes, flooding and derechos.
Civil unrest due to the systematic racism. People of color had enough of police shooting unarmed suspects, white vigilantes, white women calling the law on Black people minding their business and companies denying service based on race and religion.
Economic uncertainty due to the government's failure to balance a budget and take on the coronavirus pandemic seriously. With lawmakers stuck on how to aid Americans who are on the verge of losing their homes, their jobs and their lives due to the virus.
Trump along with many Republican presidents have failed America in some fashion.

Herbert Hoover, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush and Donald Trump are by far the worst Republican presidents in a time of a crisis. Republican presidents have failed time after time. Their allies constantly try to make up this scenario that they've done better than Democratic presidents. Revisionist history is why we're always in the messes we're in.
Today marks 19 years since the attacks on New York, Washington, DC and Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Also 8 years ago, there was an attack on a consulate compound in Benghazi, Libya.
The September 11th attacks began on a nice and clear Tuesday morning around 8:46 am. A commercial airliner would deliberately crash into the North Tower of the World Trade Center.
American Airline Flight 11 departed from Boston for a trip to San Francisco and made a diverted course due to one of the hijackers tying up the pilots. Four of the hijackers took over control of the plane and crashed the airliner into the North Tower.
It rocked the world.
It also showed us why Republicans aren't never prepared for a crisis. George W. Bush ignored the threats of al Qaeda and allowed the extremist group to plot a hijacking that led to the destruction of the World Trade Center.
Bush was in Florida doing a reading session for children when he got word that a plane hit the World Trade Center. He immediately tried to downplay it and carried on reading to young children.
While filming live coverage, the junk food media captured the United Airlines Flight 75 crash directly into the South Tower at 9:03 am. The airliner departed from Boston as well. It was slated to head to Los Angeles when it diverted course and directly beelined towards the South Tower.

When word got out that a plane hit the South Tower, the U.S. official Andy Card notified Bush and it led the immediate conclusion that it was a deliberate plot.
Bush immediately canceled his visit to Florida, notified Dick Cheney that he needs to take cover in case an attack on Washington, DC was imminent.
Around 9:25 am, the American Airlines Flight 77 would crash directly into the corner of the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia. It sparked an alert for those in the White House, U.S. Supreme Court and U.S. Capitol to take cover in case another attack was imminent. The airliner departed outside of Washington Dulles International in suburban Virginia when it quickly diverted course near the Ohio-West Virginia line. It made a quick U-turn and directly crashed into the the northern corner of the U.S. Defense Department's headquarters.
By that time, the junk food media was covering the two buildings of the World Trade Center completely on fire. The junk food media was showing the graphic images of people pleading for someone to rescue them from their fate. Some were resorting to jumping out of windows knowing that their fate was death. The New York Police and Fire Departments both went into those buildings knowing that their lives were at risk as well.
The final plane United Airlines 93 made its departure from Newark, New Jersey on route to San Francisco. The plane was supposed to crash into the U.S. Capitol. The plane's hijackers were overpowered by American travelers and two of the hijackers operating the plane would abort the attack and crash the plane into a farmland outside of Pittsburgh. The airliner crashed around 10:03 am.
By that time, the tragic outcome of the World Trade Center unfolded. About 9:59 am, the South Tower would collapse. The tower clearly took most of the impact of the airliner.

The North Tower, first hit would last until its collapse around 10:28am.
Bush immediately blamed al Qaeda and he would soon launch the "War on Terror" which led the U.S. into Afghanistan. It is currently the longest active war. Bush would also launch the Iraqi offensive which became one of the most costly and deadliest blunders of his presidency. Not only did he topple Saddam Hussein but led the U.S. down a rabbit hole into a war that should have never happened in the first place.
In the Afghanistan war, the U.S. overthrew the Taliban and spent years trying to find the leaders of the group. Osama bin Laden and Ayman Al-Zawahiri were shackled up between Afghanistan and Pakistan.
They remained visible figures until 2011 when bin Laden was killed in a raid led by U.S. Marine Seals under command of Barack Obama.
During the final leg of the 2012 U.S. elections, there was an attack on the Libyan consulate by militants who took advantage of uprising. Four men were killed. Republicans continue to blame Obama and Hillary Clinton for the Benghazi attack. They refuse to blame Bush for the actions of 9/11. They actually blame Bill Clinton for 9/11.
Al-Zawahiri in his late 60s continues to be the leader of the group. The U.S. is still looking for his whereabouts.
Trump and Melania head to Shanksville, Pennsylvania to honor the victims. Both failed to wear facial masks and social distance. This also goes for Trump's Midland, Michigan rally where his supporters didn't follow CDC guidelines.
Pence and Karen along with Biden and Jill share a moment of solidarity. Biden and Pence have an elbow bump while at the World Trade Center Memorial. Along with former Democratic candidate Michael Bloomberg and New York governor Andrew Cuomo share a moment of unity.
I haven't forgotten about 9/11.
They won't let us forget.
There's no unity in the United States.
