Then ask yourself THIS:

HOW in God's name do Republicans live with themselves?

1) Engulfed in the crush of rioters storming the Capitol, D.C. police officer Jeffrey Smith sent his wife a text that spoke to the futility and fears of his mission.

#ImpeachmentTrial
2) London has fallen,” the 35-year-old tapped on his phone at 2:38 p.m. on Jan. 6, knowing his wife would understand he was referencing a movie by that name about a plan to assassinate world leaders attending a funeral in Britain ...
3) The text confirmed the frightening images Erin Smith was watching on live stream from the couple’s home in Virginia: THE CAPITOL HAD BEEN OVERRUN ...
4) Six minutes after Smith sent that text, a Capitol Police officer inside the building shot and killed a woman as she climbed through a smashed window next to the House chamber ...
5) Smith, also inside the Capitol, didn’t hear the gunshot, but he did hear the frantic “shots fired” call over his police radio. He later told Erin he panicked, afraid rioters had opened fire on police, AND WONDERED WHETHER HE WOULD DIE ...
6) At 5:35 p.m., Smith was STILL FIGHTING TO DEFEND THE BUILDING when a metal pole thrown by rioters struck his helmet & face shield. After working into the night, he visited the police medical clinic, was put on sick leave & according to his wife sent home with pain medication.
7) In the days that followed, Erin said, her husband seemed in constant pain, unable to turn his head. He did not leave the house, even to walk their dog. He refused to talk to anybody or watch TV. She sometimes woke during the night to find him sitting up in bed or pacing ...
8) HE WASN'T THE SAME JEFF WHO LEFT ON THE SIXTH . . . I just tried to comfort him and let him know that I loved him,” she said. “I told him I’d be there if he needed anything, that no matter what we’ll get through it. I tried to do the best I could ...”
9) Smith returned to the police clinic for a follow-up appointment Jan. 14 and was ordered back to work, a decision his wife now questions ...
10) After a sleepless night, he set off the next afternoon for an overnight shift, taking the ham-and-turkey sandwiches, trail mix and cookies Erin had packed ...
11) On his way to the District, Smith shot himself in the head. He was the second police officer who had been at the riot to take his own life ...

📌Don't EVER let a Republican tell you they care for anything else but their dirty, rotten careers, and the love and support of a broken, lying, racist, two-bit, anti-American thug who pathetically and ironically cares ...

... for only himself.

📌Ahem, liberal friends, read this quickie thread. GUARANTEE it will cheer you up:

📌Trump’s former world is crumbling around him. President Biden handily defeated him in November. His neighbors are trying to ban him from living at Mar-a-Lago where, after leaving office ...
📌... he lost the special permit to have a helicopter pad. Buildings emblazoned with his name are trying to remove their Trump insignia ...
📌... the PGA of America pulled its 2022 championship from one of Trump’s golf clubs and the lobby of the former president’s namesake Washington hotel now sits conspicuously empty just five blocks from the White House ...

WHEN RESISTANCE FALTERS

📌About an hour before Trump's GOP stormtroopers assaulted our Democracy Wednesday, one Mitch McConnell -- THAT Mitch McConnell -- was on the Senate floor doing what he does best: talking in code out of both sides of his dirty, ROTTEN mouth ...

<more>
📌Seems Mitch was finally ready to put a band aid on America's gaping wound -- the one he literally had everything to do with.

📌Mitch was going to push for certifying the vote of the American people. After months of inaction, Mitch the Great was saving the day.

<more>
📌But even Mitch knows, and has suppressed, that he could have removed Trump from the White House last year.

📌Even Mitch knows, but has suppressed, that he could have spared us from the absolute carnage of the past year that led to yesterday's attack on our democracy.

✒️Please join Klondike while I tell you all a story about the appalling notion that Trump, not Joe Biden, is a better steward of America’s economy:

✒️Once upon a time, there was a spoiled baby-man who inherited hundreds of millions of dollars from his rich, racist daddy.

1/20 Image
✒️Over the next 30 years, the baby-man steadily lost hundreds of millions of dollars in laughably bad investments.

✒️He was rotten at business but spent his days rearranging his hair and using another guy’s name, John Miller, to call newspapers to heap praise upon himself.

2/20 Image
✒️Nobody could lie like he could. But if dishonesty defined wealth, well, he was a very, very rich baby-man indeed.

✒️Anyway, one day, the baby-man decided to buy a casino, because even HE couldn’t fuck up that kind of easy return on investment.

🇺🇸I’m a big football fan.

🇺🇸Been playing and watching the game since the 60s. Big NY Giants fan here. Go Blue.

🇺🇸Thing is, I could care less about the NFL this year.

🇺🇸200,000 Americans are dead. Needlessly.

🇺🇸This is sinking in, right?

🇺🇸I admit, I dipped my toe in the water Thursday night for the kickoff to the season. Many of the players peacefully and respectfully protested during the anthem, because my God, how couldn’t they?

🇺🇸And they were booed.

2/11 Image
🇺🇸They were booed by people who claim to want normalcy in their lives, but do everything in their white power to prevent it. Nobody tells these people what to do, except that guy in the WH who has liberated them to act the dangerous fool.

🇺🇸This is sinking in, right?

🇺🇸I was the managing editor of Stars and Stripes newspaper from 2001 until 2009.

🇺🇸I worked at five newspapers during my journalism career and have always told people the most important paper in the world, is S&S. It was also one of the very best things about America.

🇺🇸Imagine a newspaper being partly funding by the Pentagon having the editorial independence to report ON the Pentagon?

🇺🇸I remember explaining this to a group of Macedonian public affairs officers in a meeting in our then European Headquarters in Darmstadt, Germany. At one point the leader of the group stopped me cold and said, “This could never work.”

🇺🇸But it did.

This is what the Kenosha County Sheriff said about five African-American shoplifters 2 yrs. ago:

“I think we have to create a threshold where, once you cross the threshold, Wisconsin builds warehouses where we put these people who are no longer an asset."

“I have no issue with these five people completely disappearing. At (this) point, these people are no longer an asset to our community, and they just need to disappear.”

Listen to me, America: These cops are racist to the core and are now protecting a cop who shot a man SEVEN TIMES IN THE BACK in front of this children.
