They say that patriotism is the last refuge to which a scoundrel clings.
Steal a little and they throw you in jail, steal a lot and they make you king.
Pinned
From a notion of the times,
To the hoodlum kitchen minds that die.
From every mutant hour,
To those who have the power who don't try.
Where the surplus sounds of sanity grow hoarse,
And an abject slave mentality gets worse.
I can only find the murder machine.

Scores of now-pardoned Jan. 6 insurrectionists will gather from 11:45am for a march to the Capitol starting at the Ellipse.

One insurrectionist who says he's attending: Enrique Tarrio, who was sentenced to prison until 2045 until Trump intervened.

If Trump intends to run Venezuela he really must visit Caracas as Vice President Richard Nixon did in 1958 on a goodwill tour of Latin America. Nixon got the message: "Yankee go home!"

Donald Trump is not the lawful president, having been disqualified under the constitution for inciting an insurrection to overturn his election defeat.

We can’t have a democracy if those who try to overthrow it are allowed to obtain power again without consequences

The administration has made it clear that Nicolás Maduro's capture was tied to Venezuela's vast oil reserves. Much less certain is how US companies will actually access them—or if they even want to. www.wired.com/story/trump-...

these were major news stories at the time! it's unfortunate the American presidential year voter has the memory of a goldfish.
I don't know why patriot Charlie Kirk deleted this patriotic tweet about patriotic buses busing patriots to DC on Jan 6th, but the Internet never forgets.

Five years ago, Donald Trump instigated a violent insurrection in the Capitol to prevent Congress from certifying Joe Biden the winner of the 2020 election. The fact that the GOP coddled him, protected him, renominated him, and now support him in office, is a stain that will never be erased.

Today is the 5th anniversary of Trump's Jan 6 terrorist attack on our Capitol designed to keep him in power despite losing the 2020 election. Trump should've been arrested that day. And today he should be sitting in prison as a warning to all others that if you attempt a coup, you will die in jail.

No one is stopping Trump. No one. In fact, the opposite is true. He's enabled by everyone around him, Congress, the media, the courts, and now the military. Trump has suspended the Constitution. He just hasn't formally announced it. If you think things are bad now, you have not seen anything yet.

IT IS SHOCKING TO ME THAT NOBODY IS DISCUSSING JANUARY 6TH TODAY. THE CURRENT OCCUPANT OF THE WHITE HOUSE ORGANIZED THIS AND AS THE JACK SMITH TESTIMONY MADE CLEAR, BROKE LAWS IN ORDER TO OVERTHROW DEMOCRACY.

HOUSE DEMOCRATS SHOULD AGAIN RELEASE THE SMITH TESTIMONY TODAY.

Excellent piece by Greg Sargent on how Trump wants to organize the world based on legitimized plunder. The criminals are telling us they're criminals and daring us to stop them.
Trump just said "all" of Venezuela's oil must be made accessible to US oil companies. Trump wants to emulate Putin's model: Authoritarian, expansionist rulers carving up their regions and distributing the spoils of conquest to friendly oligarchs. 1/
