Hope is he's working on something big and impactful to stop the killing, and just staying 'Pelosi quiet.'

Any Democratic votes to fund DHS later this month as Minneapolis is being terrorized by DHS is going to be a major slap in the face to Americans living here. Demand major reforms or shut the government down.

It's time to read the Church Committee Report! Published by a major press for the first time for it's 50th anniversary, we abridged it to its most jaw-dropping findings chronicling the abuses of the FBI, CIA, and Military from the 1950s to the 1970s.

PERFIDY.
Recorded in the late 1500s in the sense of “treachery.” French via Latin “perfidia,” meaning “faithlessness.”
Based on “perfidus" (treacherous, false), which combines “per” (through) and “fides” (faith).
The notion is, apparently, deceiving through a show of faith or trust.

Anyone claiming authoritarians don’t want elections is missing the point. They want elections. They just don’t want fair elections.
