An Arkansas man stormed the Capitol waving the US flag and used its pole to beat a police officer, said a federal grand jury. He faces up to 40 years in prison. excerpt: "An FBI criminal complaint, cited in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, said Stager was part of a mob of Trump supporters scuffling with police officers on the steps of the Capitol building on January 6. "Some of these individuals were throwing and swinging various objects at the group of law enforcement officers," the affidavit states, according to Newsweek. The group ended up "dragging" a Metropolitan police officer, who was only identified in the document as B.M., down the Capitol stairs. "These individuals forced B.M. into a prone position on the stairs and proceeded to forcibly and repeatedly strike B.M. in the head and body with various objects," the complaint said. According to the affidavit, the FBI was able to confirm that Stager was beating the police officer with a flagpole after reviewing two videos that had appeared on Twitter.""
Trump-Loving Miami Doctor Charged With Hate Crime After Using Racial Slur Against Hispanic excerpt: "A 58-year-old Trump-loving anesthesiologist from Miami has been charged with a hate crime after verbally attacking an Hispanic man who asked her to socially distance inside a Publix grocery store in Hialeah, Florida, on Friday. According to the arrest warrant published by the Miami Herald, Jennifer Susan Wright started “mumbling bad words” after the victim asked her to keep her distance in the checkout line. As the man then loaded his groceries into his car, Wright reportedly vandalized the car and yelled, “We should have gotten rid of you when we could,” according to the paper. She then allegedly said, “This is not going to be Biden’s America, this is my America” and “we should have burned it all.” The report goes on to say, “The defendant also proceeds to stab the victim’s vehicle with her keys while saying he needed to go back to his country.” She then punched him as he tried to call 911. Wright posted bail after her arrest."
Can't remember if I had just had an operation or was about to have one. It wasn't gonna happen on that day. If I had been in my 30s the outcome would have been different. But, in any case, Indiana is full of guy like that. I can't change them or fight them at this age. I wish that I had enough money to go and live at the Puget Sound on some island.
Biden’s dog was solely responsible for the insurrection that occurred at our nation’s capital, on 6 January 2021. Lock him up!
Biden's broker is more like it. The republican party has been totally trashed by the entrenched wealth and conglomerates, with the result that we no longer have two political parties, and Biden can sell our government to the highest bidder, in the name of democracy, because Americans don't have a clue that democracy requires cooperation, or don't have a clue how to cooperate, share their words and play nice. The idea of a political party losing an election is anathema to both democrats and republicans, because they would never share so much as a public toilet if they could help it.
Wall Street loves politicians and clowns in general, especially since Americans have been voting for whoever advertises the most for over two decades, and now have only one party that actually represents the government.
Poll: Almost Half of Republicans Would Drop GOP, Join Trump Party excerpt: "Nearly half of Republicans wouldn’t hesitate to drop the GOP and join a new party led by former President Donald Trump, according to a Suffolk University/USA Today poll of Trump voters released Sunday. The poll revealed that 46 percent said they would abandon their party while only 27 percent said they wouldn’t drop the GOP. The rest are undecided. Half of the Trump voters polled said that the GOP should be “more loyal to Trump.” Only 19 percent said the opposite and think the Republican Party should be less loyal to Trump. “We feel like Republicans don’t fight enough for us, and we all see Donald Trump fighting for us as hard as he can, every single day,” a small-business owner from Milwaukee said."
Florida Republicans want to impose new voting restrictions. They’re not the only ones. excerpt: "In the 2020 presidential election, more Floridians than ever before voted by mail. Now, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis wants to make voting by mail more difficult. At a news conference in Palm Beach on Friday, DeSantis, a Republican, announced a proposed slate of new voting restrictions that would make it more difficult for voters to receive and return mail-in ballots in future Florida elections. In doing so, he joined a wave of state and local officials who have worked in the months since the 2020 general election to introduce new voting restrictions, arguing these policies will make voting more secure. Specifically, DeSantis called on the Florida legislature to address “ballot harvesting” (when mail-in ballots are collected for delivery at a drop-off location) and ballot drop boxes, to ban mailing out ballots to voters who haven’t requested one, and to tighten the rules around requesting a ballot so that requests must be made every election year."
