What to do when LAPD are complicit? In the video, many black & white police vehicles with lights on

Christopher Webb @cwebbonline.com · Jun 21

These are not police.

By law, they have to identify. If they won’t—copy their plates, call the actual police and let them know you are witnessing armed police impersonators.

How long until the next pandemic? Will there be enough veterinary medicine and shamans to keep Americans alive?

It’s not a surprise that the man who purposely incited a violent attempt to overthrow an American election would now purposely incite violence on the streets of Los Angeles as a justification for military force against American citizens.

Not a surprise at all.

Seattle port commissioner: "We currently do not have any container ships at port right now.”

So by Trump’s logic this means we’re making money?

I love living in the era of the business idiot. Multiple 3 trillion market cap companies forcing software down people's throats that they hate that has grown a near-cultural level of ridicule about its propensity for errors, all because they forgot how to do anything but chase quarterly growth

Cohen: Take MeidasTouch Network. They’re beating Joe Rogan, they’re beating Fox, they’re beating the lame stream news. So when there’s a march, all you have to do is contact the Meiselas brothers — next thing you know, you’ve got ten million people showing up. That’s an army.

I don't care how many junior staffs Hegseth or others throw under the bus.

Hegseth HIMSELF was on the Signal group chat. He used his fingers to enter the sensitive military info into the chat.

He bears 100% full responsibility for that -- no matter how many scapegoats he finds.

We've seen videos like this before, but usually when you see a tearful wife pleading with the kidnappers who have taken her husband, she's not talking to the U.S. president
