Capitol Officer Fenone's body cam video

Those were not tourists looking @ the Capitol but terrorists and thugs sent there by Trump.

House to hold hearings on the 1/6/21 violent insurrection @ the US Capitol. Fox News this AM

"A man in NYC was mugged."

Trump gave out the day, the date, the time, and the place on multiple occasions to invite his thugs
to that riot and Fox News* helped to foment and spread the "big lie" too.

Trump helped to pay for the violence using campaign funds.

Trump decapitated the D.C. National Guard prior to the riot.

Trump had the niece of his chief of staff fill out the paperwork for the permit to hold his pre-riot
pep talks.

When Mike Pence and Rep. McCarthy called Trump and asked for him to call off his thugs he refused.

After the violent attack on the Capitol which hurt >100 policeman, took the lives of 5 people, caused
>$30 million of damage, and God only knows what else Trump told his thugs he loved 'em.

Lock him up.

* The morning blond on Fox and Friends said this 1 or 2 days before the 1/6/21 riot. "A lot of people
still have questions about the election."

France Passes Law That Makes A Coronavirus Health Pass Required For Dining And Travel

All of America would go "The French Way.*" Be vaccinated or stay home.

* https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2021/07/26/1020669579/france-new-law-coronavirus-health-pass

PARIS — France's parliament approved a law early Monday requiring special virus passes for all restaurants and domestic travel and mandating vaccinations for all health workers.

Both measures have prompted protests and political tensions. President Emmanuel Macron and his government say they are needed to protect vulnerable populations and hospitals as infections rebound and to avoid new lockdowns.

The law requires all workers in the health care sector to start getting vaccinated by Sept. 15, or risk suspension. It also requires a "health pass" to enter all restaurants, trains, planes and some other public venues. It initially applies to all adults, but will apply to everyone 12 and older starting Sept. 30.

To get the pass, people must have proof they are fully vaccinated, recently tested negative or recently recovered from the virus. Paper or digital documents will be accepted. The law says a government decree will outline how to handle vaccination documents from other countries.

Florida hits 10,000 cases a day ... weekly vaccination rates continue to drop.

As Florida hits 10,000 cases a day, experts seek more COVID data from state


Let ‘em die and poke ‘em with a sharp stick @ the same time too? As Florida hits 10,000 cases a day, experts seek more COVID data from state …. At the same time, weekly vaccination rates continue to drop.

Proof that there is a God, a JAA bees USSS, or anything in the buy-BULL is true ….. zero.

Proof that science is real, vaccines work, and that Anthony Fauci knows what he is talking about …. 100%.

And Florida is now trying to hide the data on the disease too. I never thought i would see the day that a political party,
rich right wingers, Christian Evangelicals, and “news” organizations would be betting that spreading death and disease
are good things in order to keep power.

BTW all those mother fuckers on Fox & News Max have all gotten the vaccine too. You know that DeSantis and his family have gotten the vaccine too.

Charge 'em with murder.

Coronavirus cases have tripled in the past two weeks in Florida and there’s no sign the resurgent pandemic will slow down.

There were 73,119 new infections reported between July 16 and Thursday, according to the latest seven-day report released by the state on Friday. That’s an average of more than 10,000 infections per day, a number not seen since early February.

snip

Hospitalizations have also doubled in the past two weeks to nearly 800 confirmed admission every day, on average. Deaths have followed, increasing by 64 percent over the same time span, but still remain far below levels seen at the peak of the pandemic.

snip

At the same time, weekly vaccination rates continue to drop as new patients become harder and harder to reach. The number of first-time vaccine recipients fell to just over 100,000, the lowest since June.

snip


(and now Florida and DeSantis want to hide the data)


The Florida Department of Health also stopped sharing key demographic data points with the public, such as hospitalizations, infections in nursing homes, and county level infections and vaccinations by race, age and gender. At that time, health officials said this change reflected a new phase of the pandemic as cases fell.

2 questions that just kind of hit me as I was in the Blue Ridge/Shenandoah Valley area of VA*

1) Am I wrong to think that one of America's biggest threats are right wing Evangelical Christians.

South of Winchester, VA off of I-81 there are three huge crosses that are just plain creepy and on the side
a barn in the country somebody has a painting of Trump and Jesus with their arms around each other
along with a bunch of American, confederate, and Trump flags. Another "Trump Country" place had all the
Christian shit, rebel flags, American flags, Trump and anti-Biden stuff but he also had something about the
problems in Cuba are Joe Biden's fault.

2) And this got me thinking is Trump still working for Putin? Because by Trump's continuation of stirring
up shit weakens America by dividing us and that is what Putin wanted. I wonder if Trump is still in contact
with Russia/Putin and is getting his marching orders from them. (Trump does owe them tons of money.)

Or did the heat just get to me?

So this guy is now claming he has mental problems?



Fuck him. Lock him up anyway.

Exclusive: 'QAnon Shaman' in plea negotiations after mental health diagnosis

WASHINGTON, July 23 (Reuters) - The participant in the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol riots nicknamed the "QAnon Shaman" is negotiating a possible plea deal with prosecutors, after prison psychologists found he suffers from a variety of mental illnesses, his attorney said.

In an interview, defense lawyer Albert Watkins said that officials at the federal Bureau of Prisons, or BOP, have diagnosed his client Jacob Chansley with transient schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression and anxiety.

snip

Chansley is one of the most recognizable of the hundreds of Donald Trump supporters who stormed the Capitol after the then-president in a fiery speech falsely claimed that his November election defeat was the result of fraud.

Chansley, of Arizona, was photographed inside the Capitol wearing a horned headdress, shirtless and heavily tattooed. He is a supporter of the QAnon conspiracy theory that casts Trump as a savior figure and elite Democrats as a cabal of Satanist pedophiles and cannibals.
