This is Winston Churchill visiting Washington DC to request assistance in the war against Germany. Notice he is wearing a "zip suit" and not a traditional suit. This was to honor the British troops--the same reason Zelensky dresses the way he does.

What would “If Day” look in your town today?
On this day in 1942, German tanks and soldiers marched through Winnipeg. The mayor, premier and Lt. Governor were arrested. The city was renamed Himmlerstadt, books were burned and the swastika flag flew around the city.
This is the story of Winnipeg's If Day.

If anyone ever embodied too f*cking little, too f*cking late, it's this pathetic man.
MCCONNELL: “.. I'm a survivor of childhood polio. In my lifetime, I've watched vaccines save millions of lives from devastating diseases across America and around the world. I will not condone the re-litigation of proven cures.”

Alberta 🚨 we need to do some hard core pushback this week.
Even via their message banks, call at least 2 UCP Ministers and Smith’s office to get them to call an election.
We need maximum pressure by everyone.
They don’t handle it.
This can’t wait.
