There are members of the United States Congress who are afraid to vote to impeach Trump due to concerns about their families’ safety. This is how terrorism works, folks! This is a textbook example of terrorists succeeding with efforts to coerce decision makers in a government.

President Trump says that he did not fall down while being evacuated from the WHCD. He says he was asked to get closer to the ground by agents.

I’m sure there is. But I haven’t read it yet. Hope it’s one of many in my ever-growing collection of unread books.

I once had a friend who was there filming it for CNN. He’s Ted Turner’s oldest son. We were friends until I made the mistake of managing his failed campaign for the Congressional seat vacated by Tim Scott when Nikki Haley appointed him to fill the seat vacated by Jim DeMint.

I’ve seen a lot of demons. None looked like the stuff in the paintings and illustrations. They looked like average people, with a few exceptions who were very attractive in a contemporary aesthetic sense.

Notice that even @TheAtlantic is being shadow-banned by Trump’s slave who owns this website—and isn’t even expressing misgivings. … Even liberal media is becoming complicit with the (d)evolution to a new American autocratic system that has elevated the worst of America to power.

“The Sorrow and the Pity,” a four-hour documentary from 1969 about Nazi-occupied France, chronicles the way that many ordinary citizens simply lived their lives as if nothing had changed—and the film is more relevant than ever, @GrahamDavidA argues. theatln.tc/wTgx4buI 📸: Everett Collection
