Hundreds of uniformed members of what appeared to be Patriot Front, a white supremacist group, marched through D.C. and toward the Capitol. Their faces covered in white masks, the men carried flags — some upside down, others Confederate — as they chanted, “Reclaim America!” https://wapo.st/3QQfkCX

new metaphor just dropped

The White House announced on Friday that President Trump had issued pardons to 11 men, most of whom had been convicted of crimes related to the Clean Air Act, a bedrock environmental law.

Nothing quite captures the spirit of America 250 like promising a century of single party rule if only one party can change election laws.

Listen. I spent more than a decade as a theatrical technician, rigging stages, hanging lights, flying scenery, etc. The number of times I have dropped anything on a stage with performers on it is zero. The number of times I’ve dropped something that might’ve killed someone is zero. This is major.

Maybe they should consider impeaching this man over his conduct

Breaking News: The FBI is assigning analysts to review Georgia voting records, reflecting a push by President Trump to prove baseless 2020 election claims.
