Trump represents white supremacy.

Repeating the crimes is the mission of white supremacy.

America has to address the obvious double standards for white male racists.

No woman, no person of color, only a white man can get the privileges Trump enjoys.

Note: They're saying "alleged" because that's what journalists are supposed to do until there's a conviction. ABC isn't trying to cast doubt, they're trying to follow professional standards and also not get sued for libel.

"Former President Donald Trump, bent on staying in power, undertook a sweeping "criminal scheme" to overturn the results of the 2020 election, including repeatedly pushing lies about the results despite knowing that they were correct, and doubling down on those falsehoods as the Jan. 6 riot raged, a sweeping federal indictment alleges.

This is the third indictment faced by the former president, who -- as the Republican frontrunner in the 2024 presidential race -- continues to insist that the vote was rigged.

Prosecutors say the alleged scheme, which they say involved six unnamed co-conspirators, included enlisting a slate of so-called "fake electors" targeting several states; using the Justice Department to conduct "sham election crime investigations"; enlisting the vice president to "alter the election results"; and doubling down on false claims as the Jan. 6 riot ensued -- all in an effort to subvert democracy and stay in power.

The six alleged co-conspirators include several attorneys and a Justice Department official.

The sweeping indictment, based on the investigation by special counsel Jack Smith, charges Trump with four felony counts: conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights...

In the history of the country, no president or former president had ever been indicted prior to Trump's first indictment in April."

hi! i’m here to talk to you about luke (and to ask if i could be ☀️ anon please and thank you!)

i think he has a necklace kit under his bed with beads he’s painted to match the ones on his camp necklace.

it’s bc he’s lost so many from fucking you - you keep grabbing the necklace as something to keep you grounded and suddenly he thrusts too hard and there’s wooden beads bouncing and rolling everywhere

MDNI 18+

and he would be upset about it, but he's full of so much pride. luke has an ego, just like most demigods, and it luckily has yet to have negative effects on your relationship.

for it is his pride that leads him to striving towards an achievement claimed by being a better lover each time he has you. he knows when to stop just as well as he knows what buttons to hit and when. his knowledge of your body, and ambition to do better and better, is what has you gripping the chord around his neck.

you'll squeeze until the clay shatters while he fingers you. you'll clamp your teeth around it when he's leaning down as he fucks you. you'll use the necklace as a leash to pull luke's lips from your cunt to your mouth. (it's these moments where luke reminds himself that while you choose to be complacent and submissive, you have just as much strength as him. it's a challenge more than a threat.)

and your manhandling—because that's really what it is—has shattered the beads a few times, leaving luke to pull out the kit from under his bed. the box had gone from covered in dust, only used in the off chance of another kid breaking a bead, to being clearly weathered and well used.

plus, luke has gotten better at arts and crafts.

Republicans are eating themselves. Definitely good to run the country though, for sure.

Air mail was still rather exotic in the 1940s. In this picture, postal service officials and spectators turned out to witness a Sikorsky helicopter as it landed at the 23rd Street Skyport, January 6, 1947. It was the first shuttle flight carrying air mail from La Guardia Field. Two helicopters made six trips each between the airport and the skyport.

This tweet sums up the bad faith throughout the rotted, fetid Republican Party.

You can't reason with the unreasonable.

You can't reason with fascists who must protect their corrupt, decaying, bankrupt leader.

6 Jan 2021 - Another video has emerged from 6 January 2021. This one is hard to watch. It's a clip of a female Trump supporter getting beaten by US Capitol Police.

She is hit approximately thirty-five times over the course of 4 minutes and 30 seconds, while appearing to be begging for mercy. She is hit with the baton while facing away. She is hit with the baton while facing forward. She is speared and poked with the baton about the face so as to inflict maximum pain. She collapses more than once and is stood up by the officers only to be maced and beaten again. At some point, White-shirt puts away his baton, not because he is showing mercy because he has a clear avenue to her face. As such, he unloads on the defenseless woman punching her five times in five seconds, directly in the face.

Every politician that was present on Jan. 6th had a phone.

We have every call, every text, every video that was sent that day in a 10 mile radius.

We know who Nancy called/text.

We know who Adam Schiff called/text.

We know who called Bill Barr.

We know who text, then called Mike Pence.

We know what Mike Pence said to Nancy.

Whatever happens, just know that we have it all.

If you are sitting home pretending this isn't true. You must be complicit. 🤔
