The left thinks the blue collar MAGA people who stormed the capitol are their political enemies. This is how we lose. Our enemies should be the political elite and the oligarchy. We should be trying to convince the people who stormed the capitol, not trying to ID them for the FBI
Some of them were Nazis and some came prepared for violence. Those are obviously not the people I am referring to. Many of them were average folks from rural areas, a category of people where the left has no reach, and in an area where it has no foothold
I cannot bring myself to hate people for their positions - barring some exceptions - when I know that they have been *systematically* lied to their entire lives. The only thing to do to rectify the injustices in our society is to raise awareness in the masses
People are accusing me of wanting to ally with fascists, white supremacists and Nazis. While some were in DC yesterday many who were there were none of those. From the Livestream footage I saw, it was nothing like what I witnessed first hand in Charlottesville. So get a grip.

Twitter has now escalated it's censorship against the current president of the United States by actually deleting his tweets. If they can do it to him they can do it to anybody
Anybody know what those tweets actually said?

I wonder if they will ever make it into the Library of Congress loc.gov/loc/lcib/1005/…
Here is one of the tweets deleted by Twitter of Trump disputing the election results (far from the first time) & telling his supporters to "go home with love & in peace." By comparison, his tweets threatening mass murder against Iran and North Korea remain active on this site.

Maypr Pete Buttigieg got deployed to Afghanistan with the task of liaising between intelligence agencies supposedly working to disrupt the Taliban drug trade during a year the UN says Afghanistan accounted for 90% of global opium. Big assignment for a small town mayor!
Pete Buttigieg's job description on his discharge papers was left blank. Seems extremely run-of-the-mill for a reservist
Much of Pete's records are redacted, but he actually led the Afghan Threat Finance Cell -- a nexus of intel agency cooperation. His official title, according to him, was "Afghan Threat Finance Cell Liaison Officer to the Combined Joint Interagency Task Force." What a mouthful!

This woman's sign has generated a bit of controversy on the internet today, so I decided to post my interview with her from earlier. She tells the story of the father and his 2-year-old from El Salvador who drowned trying to make it to the U.S. "It makes me really sad," she said.
People are trying to have this woman doxxed because of her sign. I'm not sure how anyone can interpret it as an endorsement of Trump's border policies - just on its face - but the least they could do is take some time to look into the matter before trying to ruin her life
There's an huge Twitter mob trying to doxx this woman. Agree with the sign or not, it's clear that she is AGAINST Trump's border policies. If you see people trying to doxx her, please correct the record by posting my interview in reply. I can't keep up with my schedule so packed
