They waltzed into the US Capitol, seized it, installed a Trump flag in place of the US flag, had members of Congress sheltering in place & VP Pence evacuated....and they just waltz out with NO arrests.
If you didn't understand what "white privilege" meant before today, you should understand now. White men stormed the US Capitol, took photos & bragged online & they are just chilling on the lawn after curfew since they know there won't be any punishment.

Like I said 4 years ago, Donald did nothing to help his supporters but keep white people at the top of the racial caste system. Millions are out of work (more than during the Great Depression), many businesses are closed forever (nearly half of Black owned businesses have closed)
the economy is in the toilet, and lines at food banks are longer than workers have ever seen due to unparalleled need. Donald is threatening to challenge the election results in multiple states and demand recounts in multiple states although it is Donald who raged against mail-in
voting for months which led to his supporters not mailing in votes. Democrats stressed mail-in voting for months since you know, there is a global deadly pandemic that is airborne, so lots of people who believe in science mailed their ballots. That was the plan though, Donald

I'm confident in a Biden/Harris win but woke up enraged. It's going to take at least 16 years to get the USA back on a positive trajectory because of Donald. Covid 19 can be contained, hopefully by 2021 but the racism & xenophobia he made mainstream will linger. People chose him.
Republicans didn't want to stop Trump. "They knew he was a merciless narcissist, without empathy or compassion. They knew he was corrupt & dishonest. They chose him anyway" because they wanted minority rule of a diverse electorate with white men in control

Trump had all the information needed to contain covid but instead decided to let people die since it impacted predominantly Black & brown people. Trump knew a covid 19 surge was coming in rural areas but he hoped it would hit after November 3. m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_5f…

Politicians in South Korea stayed out of the covid 19 response & left it to scientists and professionals.
South Korea ramped up production of PPE in February and rolled out a national plan for testing, contact tracing & isolation. Meanwhile, Trump was lying to us but giving Bob Woodward the facts.
Nancy Messonnier rang the alarm early on in February saying parents should ask their children’s schools about closures; businesses should consider telecommuting options to their employees, & hospitals might need to look into expanding telehealth services. statnews.com/2020/02/25/cdc…

Trump discovered a lucrative new revenue stream: people who wanted something from the president. An investigation by NYT found over 200 companies, special-interest groups & foreign governments that patronized his properties while reaping benefits from him. nytimes.com/interactive/20…
"Individuals, groups and companies that patronized a Trump property and had business before the administration are represented by dots. Arrows show the flow of money to Mr. Trump by way of his properties." Image
"Just 60 customers with interests at stake before the Trump administration brought his family business nearly $12 million during the first two years of his presidency, The Times found. Almost all saw their interests advanced, in some fashion, by Mr. Trump or his government." Image

@AdamInHTownTX @4everNeverTrump @JustinGrayWSB Or we could just have cops pretend Black people who assault them or steal their tasers are White. None of them quit after White men embarrassed them. All I have to say. In January: A suspect steals cops taser. He is still alive. whio.com/news/crime--la…
@AdamInHTownTX @4everNeverTrump @JustinGrayWSB In February/ DUI & took officer’s tasers. He is still alive. ydr.com/story/news/cri…

@KosherSoul Good idea since so many people don't know the Civil Rights Movement was far from peaceful. Some have a whitewashed idea of what happened when cops & white citizens turned violent against peaceful protesters. History is repeating. ImageImageImageImage
