The narrative is that Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley were doing something illegal in objecting to the electoral college vote. I’ll try to make it simple for those corporations and others who think that this is true. It is not.

When both members of Congress objected in writing and submitted their written objections don’t you think that if the Constitution prohibited these actions that Pelosi would have thrown their letters out and called them out?

This is what our framers wanted, a backstop to illegality in our elections. And yet those who stood up to these concerns are now criminals or at the very least contributors to the violence committed by BLM organizers and a very small percentage of conservatives.

I‘m worried.

Do we really need Amazon?
Not in my opinion. Oh, it was nice to have a centralized location to order from, but I have no problem whatsoever going back to ordering directly off a seller’s own site or going old school and getting off my tail to go to a store. Preferably a mom and pop store. Two day shipping is not worth my freedom of speech being censored and soon to be other rights.

Context matters: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Joins Environmental Activists in Protest at Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi’s Office

Pelosi welcomes activists when done the right way. Its part of democracy.

One was AOC with some people with protest signs in 2018.
The other was swarming the Capital the other day.

A bit different events :)
So, in summary-- activist pushing LEFTIST CAUSES are OK (even when they are assaulting, looting, rioting, and burning whole neighborhoods. Conservative activists are probably armed, and therefore, Scary and Bad-- mostly because they like Orange Man, and Orange Man Bad.

Is that about it?

Don't know about y’all, but I'll be going down to the DNC to get my arm tatoo number this Wednesday, and I think the show trials start on Jan 20th....


Trump-hating Lincoln Project announces it's assembling a blacklist
They're now back to their old tricks in the post-election, with a new game to please Democrats: creating blacklists. They've announced they've compiled a databasee of all Republicans who worked for President Donald Trump with the aim of ensuring they never land jobs in the private sector.

What a scum bag. Where was this scumbag when for over 5 long months the cites across the USA were on fire, where small businesses were looted and distroyed, and people were being pulled from their cars and beaten, hundreds were killed and thousands were injured, where retired police officers protecting a small business where killed.

Um...no. not even close


To summarize. The whole county was on fire, buildings and businesses looted, people assaulted and killed, yet she thought there should be LESS confrontation with the people causing it.

imho: If Biden is a true leader he would reign in Pelosi, AOC, and quickly start to mend things - otherwise, we're looking at massive polarity continuing.

At the moment, it is not looking good..

Off-duty police, firefighters under investigation in connection with U.S. Capitol riot
By Maria Caspani

(Reuters) - As investigators seek to identify rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol, police departments in Virginia and Washington state have placed officers on leave as authorities examine whether they took part in unlawful acts while off-duty.
