#NeverForgetJanuary6th Capitol Police Officer Eugene Goodman single-handedly diverts insurrectionists from senators feet away. Gallows to intimidate VP Pence. Average visitors touring US Capitol. Senator Chip Roy/colleagues defend chambers against rioters. Can’t erase this.

I hear there’s some Jan 6th insurrectionists marching around the Capitol and getting into fights with people.
So if according to them “nothing happened” that day WHAT are they out there celebrating? 🤔
This is a similar question I have asked neo-Nazis (draw your own conclusions)

FYI: Politico claims US would take over Greenland “in few months”. But then state it would be “on the eve of the US midterm elections in Nov” and “before the 250th anniv of US independence” (in July?!) by “bribing local politicians”.
This is propaganda noise.

I’m not trans. I don’t know what it’s like and I don’t know the dynamics of that community. But I can’t help but wonder why people on this app are bullying transgender journalists when Donald Trump, Nancy Mace and Mike Johnson are actively going after trans people.
I just want everyone to step back and realize how often it's a trans woman getting bullied off social media.

The view coming from the majority of the world openly considers the United States a nation of cowards, thieves, pedophiles, and murderers gaining infamy at the same level as Russia. The century of US humiliation is now in full swing.

So the people who don’t want any gun laws in the US charged a president of a foreign country with illegal gun possession in his foreign country?
Stop looking for the hypocrisy; it’s their point.

Reasons I Wouldn’t Survive an Apocalypse:
1. My survival plan relies heavily on electricity.
2. I would keep saying, “This feels illegal.”
3.I can’t tell which mushrooms are food and which are a fun way to meet my ancestors.
4.I’d die doing something noble and unnecessary.

The indictment against Maduro is about cocaine. If we had an honest White House Press Corps, every press interview Trump did would start with why he pardoned a narco terrorist president who imported 400 tons of cocaine into the United States.

So I guess Trump woke up planning to invade Iran today but his handlers were able to distract him by bringing him to an interior design warehouse, then he just decided to play golf after instead.

Iran, on the ground reporting: Plainclothes regime repression agents speaking Arabic … not Persian.
This means the Islamic regime in Iran has recruited and dispatched Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthi and Iraqi Shia mercenaries to assist in quashing the Iranian people’s uprising.

I recall the first bombing of this ecopark when the war just began - they had no system to donate, so people bought all the tickets online, so they could get some funds to rebuild. And they did. They stayed with animals, shared videos of newborn “babies”. But russia had to kill
