Since I was young, Russia was always, if not our enemy, at least the antithesis to the American beliefs of freedom of speech, religion and political affiliation.

It seems that years ago the GOP, in their greed, invited Russian oligarchs to subversively take over America.

It's not lost on me that the part of the White House we are destroying is the part that has to do with women's history in the White House.

Watch this.

Open your eyes to this brutality.

ICE beats up, drags & abducts this disabled visually impaired man.

Now share this.

Everyone must see the brutality of this administration & ask themselves what they are doing to push back.

You have power.

Even sharing this video exerts that power.

Pro Tip: Canada is not your enemy but the greasy, drug addicted money-laundering bald mfker who made his own daughter give him lap dances and just spent the week tearing down something that didn’t belong to him is, also he knows nothing about economics. Tariffs will wreck USA.

Your ethnic background

While ripping families of ethnicity apart is appalling

Horrific because you understand what it's like

Resign and plead guilty to treason
Traitor

Maybe you will be spared and just get life in the hague

Have they figured out who this brown shirted goon is? He needs to be famous before he goes to prison.

I was going to say something similar. I will add that it seems that the grenade hit the head/face, which in most states is considered lethal force. This is not how chemical agent grenades are to be used. Speaking from 30+ years in law enforcement.

If he fired a non-lethal at this distance the target would have been physically penetrated. In other words, they should be charged with attempted murder or manslaughter

It's ever incredible to me that all it would take is for a handful of people in Congress to stop pretending this is all fine and yet, nope. Survivalist nihilism is their north star.
