This is insane 😳. Musk has got a team of mercenaries as security. Armed mercenaries..unreal.
The armed individual who blocked senators from entering federal property bears the insignia of "Triple Canopy", which merged with Blackwater in 2014.

This is a mercenary paramilitary guard for Musk and his minions. *Anyone wearing this insignia should be considered extremely dangerous.*

6. Beware of false attacks

Bondi is an election denier. Patel has an enemies list. Trump has promised retribution. When a Trump foe is under investigation, be skeptical. When you read leaks against pro-democracy leaders, consider that it may be part of an effort to discredit their work.

This was powerful from the Bishop at the National Cathedral today.

Totally normal, well-adjusted human being stuff here. Truly.

Or possibly is he trying to rule the masses to distract from senators asking Elon and Starlink be investigated for his ties to Putin & sabotaging Ukraine communications at critical times to aid Russia. This brings to question the security of our military using Starlink.

Great idea. They need it. Trump is very vengeful and terrifies all of them 🙄
Holy Guacamole!
Politico reports that President Biden’s senior aides are debating whether to issue preemptive pardons to individuals such as Adam Schiff, Anthony Fauci, and Liz Cheney, who could be targeted by Donald Trump when he returns to the Oval Office.

Thoughts?

You reckon Biden has pocket-pardoned a bunch of folks Trump intends to go after? Wouldn’t that piss off Trump to no end?
