This episode is the collateral damage of Trump abusing his powers as president.

No one should lose sight of the fact that the National Guard was only in Washington, D.C. as part of an extended political messaging stunt. They are there because of a legal lacunae created by the district’s non-statehood and consequent lack of democratic sovereignty. The shooter (the man in custody is suspected of, but not proven to be, that person) is guilty of the attack and the carnage surrounding it. Donald Trump is responsible for them. This episode is the collateral damage of, downstream of, Trump abusing his powers as president.

Haven't been here since 11/4/24

Friends have pulled me out of my cave and demanded I attend the anti-asshole rally today.
Politics have been SO toxic. At 73, I was about to give up. I have been protesting since 1971 and I literally grew sick when you know who won AGAIN.
Anyway, going to put on my pussy hat and head downtown.

See ya
