Damascus has been seized.

Assad — if he’s even still alive — has fled Syria.

The Prime Minister is calling for free and fair elections.

Putin is jealous of a successful special military operation.

Hospice volunteer patient is a 99 year old Marine WWII vet.

Him: “It’s a miracle I made it to 99.”

Me (in my head): “Sir, you were on Guadalcanal. It’s a miracle you made it to 25.”

Flight SYR9218 has gone off radar, according to Flightradar24. This may have been carrying Asaad and his family. Possible reasons include jamming, a tracking error, it was shot down, or a potential crash.
No confirmation yet on the plane’s fate as the situation remains unclear.

Th plane allegedly carrying Assad dropped from an altitude of over 3,650 meters to 1,070 in minutes, just outside Lebanese airspace north of Akkar. Reportedly Lebanon denied the plane permission to land. Rumours are rife, no confirmation if that was his plane or the fate of those onboard.

This we need
Two senators have introduced a constitutional amendment that would establish term limits for Supreme Court justices, a long-shot escalation of the congressional effort to overhaul the nation’s highest court amid ethics scandals and sinking public approval.
Supreme Court term-limits amendment proposed by Sens. Manchin, Welch
The long-shot proposal by Sen. Peter Welch (D-Vermont) and outgoing Sen. Joe Manchin III (I-West Virginia) would impose 18-year term limits on new justices.

Sednaya prison outside of Damascus is called the human slaughterhouse. The things that I read happened there will never leave me. Just the absolute most twisted things a human can come up with.

The fact that we’re counting down the minutes to it being obliterated is beyond. Just incredible.

Sednaya prison, Assad's human slaughter house and rape centre is being liberated. Regime is withdrawing. The images, evidence & information that will be extracted from this prison alone will likely shake the region and Syrian society. Thousands are waiting for news about their loved ones. #freeSyria

After 54 years of tyranny, the Assad regime has finally come to an end.

Bashar al-Assad has fled his homeland like the coward he is.

He joins his despicable family in exile.

But the great Syrian people are not out of the woods yet.

The plane reportedly carrying oligarch dictator Bashar al-Assad has either been shot down, crashed or carried out an Emergency Landing to the West of Homs. Rumors are swirling around Syria as people await information about the fate or whereabouts of the murderous Russian / Iranian backed tyrant.

1. The announcement of the end of the Assad regime on Syrian State media.

The liberation of Damascus and the overthrow of the tyrant Bashar al-Assad have been achieved, along with the release of all unjustly imprisoned detainees from the regime’s prisons.

Remember, Tulsi Gabbard claimed Assad didn’t use chemical weapons, it was “the rebels.”

Her confirmation hearing will be brutal, if she even makes it to there
