Weird because they did like last week
But regardless, here's the letter they're referencing, which is signed by members of Capitol Police but is not an official statement, apparently.

That's just about all the mainstream news agencies. They have been so abused for so long that they think "objectivity" means "caving to bad faith, right wing disinformation campaigns." There's still this idea that the right is the grown-up's place: You might not like it, but that
is cold, hard reality.

That is total bullshit and an embarrassment of a lie, and the Trump administration should put it to bed forever. Look what happens when we allow white supremacists to write the rules. They fuck up literally everything.
You even see it infesting fact-checking sites, who feel obligated to allow bad faith hacks like the fucking Daily Caller into their ranks, once again to "prove" that they are "grown-ups" who can handle reality being different from their opinions.

Again, this is all bullshit.

They pull this shit every three to five years when their local Nazis want attention. It's just more bullshit "white ethnostate" nonsense with a PR spit-polish
Sorry, I was being optimistic. They do it every year now. Here's last year's opb.org/news/article/m…

You know at some point, we’re going to have to have a conversation about the disinformation that Facebook spreads, Peter Thiel’s place on its board, and who that disinformation favors and why
Don’t you think that the guy whose money is made by selling surveillance tech to border agencies should divest himself of any and all @Facebook ties? After all, knowing how much highly targeted disinfo about the border comes out of there. Wouldn’t they want to avoid the
appearance of conflict of interest?

Good. It was all just an inauthentically organized marketing campaign from far-right religious whackadoodles to try to get people out of “government-run” schools and into homeschooling anyway. That was the year it was made legal in all fifty states.
They always go for yoga because then they can get everyone wound up about “un-Christian activity” but without being accused of antisemitism or Islamophobia. They do this stupid shit every time they want to run a religious right homeschooling campaign.
This was 2013 in San Diego. They try to pull this shit every decade or so. What an embarrassment. npr.org/sections/thetw…

That's what you get for indulging a baseless, anti-democratic conspiracy theory cooked up by a bunch of sore losers, @Steve_Chucri. We tried to warn you and everyone else that this would happen -- because it was a bullshit scam built on a lie from the very beginning
But hey, great job owning those libs with all those taxpayer dollars, not like it was your money right?
The same goes for every other asshole who has participated in this anti-democratic embarrassment of a grift. Do all the recounts you want, no one cares. But this is no recount. This is a bunch of little amateur hour pissbabies having a temper tantrum because their guy lost.

A global, far right power grab aided by corrosive disinformation ahead of a climate meltdown, gosh hmmm seems like someone was just warning about that
I didn't spend years studying geopolitics and crashing Arctic Council meetings in Alaska and the Yukon for nothing, I was never just talking out of my ass
One of the things the USA and Russia were always talking about was how climate change was opening up previously inaccessible shipping routes through international waters, such as the Northwest Passage. Anyone could have seen the showdown coming u.afp.com/UeNd
