๐งตI posted this yesterday after I heard the devastating news at 8am, I gasped feeling such sadness. Like so many, I didn't always agree with General Powell however I,like many,had the deepest respect for this man who was the first of so much,lived with such integrity & grace
RIP General Colin Powell, thank you for your service. I may not have agreed with many decisions, however I am thankful for your service to our country. My deepest condolences to his family. May your memory be a Blessing.
"Colin Powell, military leader and first Black US
secretary of state, dies after complications from Covid-19"
And before the nut jobs go on a rant about the vaccinations not working, let's remember something,although fully vaccinated, he was 84 with comorbidities, he battled& Multiple Myeloma & Parkinsons however
those treatments lower the efficacy of the vaccine. Sadly people don't realize that's the EXACT reason everyone needs to be vaccinated, to protect our elderly, people at high risk (we don't always know who they are, I'm one of them) and of course our children.
May he rest in peace and may people please wake up! #GetVaccinated to protect us all. It's about the WE, not the me.
Sadly a life lost who battled so much, beat Multiple Myeloma only to lose his life because he was exposed by someone who carried the virus to his
elderly immunocompromised body.
Please, people THINK about who in your family or someone you don't even know, this is the 2-5% of vaccinated people who die because of people claiming their 'rights'...what about his rights or anyone who fights a disease or condition,
people who did the right thing, got vaccinated only to die? What about the children who are still sadly able to catch (most spread it without event, but some do get severely sick&even die), what about the children?
So sad, such a loss for all of us. RIP General Powell ๐

๐งตSo sick the MINORITY Senate that represents 24% of the American people 'voted' to NOT allow a debate to take place to protect our voting rights. They 'voted' against allowing the Senate being able to DEBATE on a bill for our Constitutional RIGHT to Vote!
They used the very thing they're taking away from the majority of the country, our right to have our votes heard & counted!
Pay attention, this is how [d]emocracy's die...our Republic will end, they're already setting it up to overrule in 9 states as of now,
to replace a democrat win with GOP electors, they've put in laws to allow legislators to decide who wins, even if the count is different. Basically what TFG tried to pull off in 2020& couldn't,now he can 'legally' do it, see what's happening?

I am acutely aware that the Biden agenda isn't going as planned or as we've hoped for & while I'm disappointed, I also understand how politics works. As long as we have 2 Dem Senators stalling the Build back Better plan, doing all they could to destroy it, we have a problem ?
& it's not President Biden's fault. Executive orders are temporary, we need legislation. The 2022 mid terms is NOT a time to quit&just allow the GOP to take the House &/or the Senate, the repercussions of that are dire & would make President Biden a lame duck until 2024 if they
win, they've set up to toss our votes. The ONLY way forward is to broaden our majority, make Manchin&Sinema irrelevant, give Pres Biden the majority we didn't in 2020 in order for him to successfully get thru much, if not all he ran on, the win the Presidency in 2024.
๐งต 1/6 Women&supporting men, WE MUST EXPAND our majority in 2022, despite their roadblocks! No excuses! Everyone MUST vote Democrat across the board from now thru then&beyond. School board, Governor, legislators,Judges,Congress!
White women, esp those who STILL vote REPUB, STOP!
2/6 STOP VOTING AGAINST YOUR INTERESTS This WILL worsen,birth control is next! End the patriarchy, 50 yrs ago women fought for our choice! You choose no abortion,that's fine,however NO ONE should choose for any of us but us,that's what Roe guarantees, incl BIRTH CONTROL ALL KINDS
3/6
If God forbid your child/young adult is raped, she should be forced to keep it adding to the TRAUMA?
Menopausal women have an oops, we be forced to keep it? Unviable outside womb pregnancies should be forced to birth?Miscarriages will be scrutinized,1/3 women miscarry!
THREAD
Debate,is it real YES he has bloated depends,pants are prob pull up elastic or backwards. I took screenshots from Cspan where BTW THEY showed entire rambling full on lying speech.
I brightened this shot,pants are SUPER LONG, VERY wrinkled. Vid link c-span.org/video/?512280-โฆ
My guess, he forgot to keep it buttoned, he never liked his jackets closed. You can see button closed, then he opened it. On Cspan he's blabbering about escalator, lies about border, schools 'indoctrinating' kids protesting lying, lies about Biden etc
He also came out with jacket buttoned, I watched him unbutton it after entrance during stupid clapping & pacing while song was playing. My guess, he forgot to keep it buttoned, he never liked his jackets closed. 2nd pic u see he unbuttons it
An excellent explanation by .@glennkirschner2 I still have many questions.
THREAD!
Glenn, thank you for your very detailed explanation of the 'law' in regards to what falls within the President's right to be protected. My question or questions are, why did he NEED to do that,
in that moment and use such a violent way of doing it? Why didn't they peacefully have the activists moved out the way IF he felt it so necessary for this photo op,which we all know was BS. Why would the DOJ request it to be dismissed knowing that although a President has a right
to be protected, he purposely did that, as you mentioned & we all know, for a photo of that could have certainly waited. It appears, as usual he abused his limited immunity & the power he held. So while I understand & agree this should be litigated & a deposition should be done,
1/3 I joke now, all vaccinated shld be wearing a V so people around us can feel safe. I uploaded the NYS wallet &verified my fully vaccinated self, I have a scan code(GIVES NO PVT INFO),so I can(when ready)pull out my phone & show it, also printed it off. epass.ny.gov/home
2/3 4 anyone in NYS &want to go to a game,concert or prove you're vaxxed w/o needing a covid swab everything,it's easy. Print, screenshot,&/or upload ur proof(I hid dob &scan code)it ONLY proves I'm vaxxed, no pvt info but DOB,like driver's license
3/3
Renews easily every 180 days!
We want a sense of 'normal', it needs to begin somewhere,this is it. I'll also make flying & more easy. No HIPPA violation since absolutely NO pvt info shared, just says you're vaxxed & show driver's license or state ID to prove this is u.
