Trump has openly threatened officers who defended the capitol on 1/6 for "murdering" Ashley Babbitt, saying "We know who you are". One Arizona congressman referred to her shooting as an execution.
Why is it so?

I got  robo call "survey" today from the office of McCarthy (sponsored by the NRCC). The first question asked was if I considered the Dem commission on Jan 6 a "political hit job". When I said no they disconnected.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.

Its an absolute disgusting shame how Republicans are doing nothing but capitalizing off this when they should be standing against the worst person to hold the top office in our history.

"The successful venture to remove from office a seventy-year-old brat who is an astonishing example of moral bankruptcy, conspiracy hawking, and fantasyland dwelling was a hit.

The commission is merely part of the cleanup from his fallout."

Just read that OnlyFans will be phasing out its porn content due to pressure from financial backers and credit card companies. Now that's going to piss off a lot of people.

And what am I supposed to make out of this news?

[Image: Meghan.jpg]
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
