The Capitol Police were heroes on J6. An issue that didn’t get widely reported were the incidents of suicide among those officers. Source

Nothing to laugh about.

Sanewashing Trump while seeking to nitpick every tiny detail of Harris's platform to death is the exact same "both sides" bullshit from 2016. What's different this time around is no one buys these outlets as some kind of Fourth Estate above it all. They're looking for a gotcha answer, so they can put up a clickbait title attacking Harris and generate more clicks.

Harris is not playing by their rules. Good for her.

"So, Kid A jumped Kid B in the hallway, called them a bigoted slur, then beat Kid B so badly he had to go to the hospital. Kid B tried to fight back, but was overwhelmed. Our solution is that kids are going to be suspended for an equal amount of time and suffer equal repercussions, because zero tolerance."

Zero tolerance is the absence of humanity as a policy. It's abhorrent.

But the US system ranks first in wealth extraction from people to billionaires, so it’s working as intended.

Harris exceeded high expectations and Trump failed to meet incredibly low expectations.

Let the spin begin, but I saw what I saw.

As long as a single human being is homeless or hungry, billionaires should not exist.

I try not to be that guy, but the song is called The Imperial March, and that name makes it so much funnier historically.

The strategy of getting the public to ignore the war by sending oppressed minorities into the meat grinder falls apart when the friends and loved ones of those you’re telling to ignore the war become POWs.

All of the sudden, the treatment of prisoners matters. All of the sudden, the war becomes real.

I feel dirty saying good things about Sarah Palin, but she was brought on to fire up the base and did just that. Vance has managed to alienate the base. I don’t think the incels even like him at this point.

At this point, the race from the Republican side seems like Trump versus his own mental illness and cognitive deficiencies. And it’s only going to get worse the more he realizes he’s heading to defeat.

”And he is really into Pokemon cards right now, he’s going through a Pokemon phase... I mean he’s really into it, so he is trying to talk to me about Pikachu and I am on the phone with Donald Trump, I’m like ‘son, shut the hell up for 30 seconds about Pikachu,’” Vance told the podcast.

Wow. Maybe Vance should have gotten some stability in his career before he had kids. Maybe figured himself out a little better and grown as a person until he was ready.

Children are a life-altering obligation, after all. Maybe Vance would have been happier if he focused on his career first. Of course, that’s a deeply personal matter, and I would never assume that I know better than someone else what is best for their life.

Witness video shows Dvontaye Mitchell, 43, lying on the ground and crying for help outside the Hyatt Regency hotel as security guards pin him down with their hands and knees. Mitchell can be heard grunting and yelling apologies.

What makes people like this? What kind of disease infects their minds that makes them capable of doing this to a fellow human being? That's not just standard racism. It's inhuman.
