Today we remember and honour the brave souls who gave everything for our freedom.

Way too many voters have failed to inform themselves and simply vote on a gut feeling. The fascist GOP makes sure it will take decades to fix the damage they do knowing voters will turn against Democrats if they don't fix everything in the first month.

The thing to understand about this is that this catastrophe in the UK has redounded to the political benefit of the very same people and political movement that pushed for it! Extremely perverse.

Donald Trump has reportedly pardoned high-profile attorneys accused of joining in his plot to try to steal the 2020 election, along with dozens of so-called fake electors.

The pardons were announced by Ed Martin, the president’s pardon attorney and former “Stop the Steal” organizer.

In the end, the Democrats essentially got nothing, and Trump notches another victory over opponents who convinced themselves that resistance is futile.

By folding, Democrats rewarded Trump’s hostage-taking and emboldened his bullying.
