January 6,2021 - The same day Trump told his sycophantic MAGA Republican supporters to march to the Capitol & then sat on his fat ass for 3 hours watching the violence on tv INSIDE the White House, because HE was still president.

Why did the Trump administration put 274 FBI agents in the crowd?

Good morning and Happy Sunday to everyone who correctly remembers that contrary to trump's post, Joe Biden was NOT the President on January 6, 2021 -- trump was.

His delusional episodes are increasing, it's time for the 25th Amendment.

HE IS UNFIT TO SERVE.

Texas is preparing emergency resources for wildfires and floods. The Texas National Guard should be THERE — not in Illinois.

We stand ready to support their return home so they are best positioned for helping Texans respond to any natural disasters.

Make sure everyone knows: these mass firings are NOT because of the shutdown.

Trump doesn’t have to fire any of these people—he’s choosing to do it as an intimidation tactic.

Difficult to overstate how stupid and reckless this is.

Mass CDC cuts hit staff dealing with measles, Ebola and disease forecasting

Another round of mass layoffs has struck CDC. The agency had already been cut during a reorganization this year, and more employees are now being shed amid the government shutdown.

I am going to dispute this analysis. Netanyahu never had any intention of signing a ceasefire with Biden, who never came down hard on Israel because of his own Zionism plus the November electon. After Trump won, Trump told Netanyahu he wanted the hostages back for his inauguration day. Then>

The Biden plan was pushed. They went to a first phase, hostages were released, etc. And then it all fell apart because Israel wouldn't accept an international force or PA involvement in governance. And Hamas didn't agree to dismantle themselves. So war continued.

When prices were going up under Biden there was a constant deluge of news stories about it because the media did not like Biden and wanted him to lose. Under Trump there is not a constant deluge of news stories about coffee prices because they like Trump and want him to win
