Officer To Testify In Uniform


Michael Fanone, a D.C. police officer who was beaten, dragged down the capitol steps, repeatedly tasered at the base of his skull, resulting in a heart attack and traumatic brain injury, will testify in front of the House committee investigating the domestic terrorist attack against the capitol, while wearing his full police uniform.

Oh Boy, Kevin is gonna need several changes of shorts.

All of those traitors MUST be singled out and pay the price for what they did. Yes, TFG is ultimately responsible — but each member of his gang of felons must be found and convicted.

a lot of others are too. I have no real interest in the Olympics except maybe Ms Biles' performance but I'll catch a video of that.

I have a dr.'s appointment. And it will be too hot and smoky to do anything other than stay inside. Yesterday it was hazy between my building and the one across the driveway and it got to +102F, pretty miserable.

It's been like this since early June with the heat and the smoke showed up around the fifth of this month, I have to stay in a lot right now. Thankfully, I have AC and internet.

The humidity has been awful for about a week. Thankful for the central air. Glad you have air conditioning. It’s not a luxury at times, but a necessity.

how the RepubliQans respond to his testimony.

My guess is that they will pretend that he never said anything - then go back to their own version of the "BIG LIE" that it was a loving group of tourists and Antifa, with the help of BLM, was responsible for any problems that happened that day.

The RepubliQans refusal to investigate and charge those guilty makes them our own special home-grown terrorists - the American Taliban.

and perhaps even more convincing material will come out of these hearings.
But we REALLY have to work hard and make sure to GET OUT THE VOTE, especially with all of the ways the RepubliQans are devising ways and changing laws to make voting more difficult!

3 states use mail-out/mail-in ballots only and they claim it's more cost efficient and less voter fraud.
I've been promoting mail-out/mail-in for over 20 years, hope I live long enough to see it come to
fruition on a national level.
P.S. love your "home-grown terrorists - the American Taliban", I'll start calling them that in my red
town, know I'll get a lot of negative comments & dirty looks but I don't care. If I can get some poor
ignorant reQublicans to question why they vote for the American Taliban party, it'll just help get more
Democrats elected.

during the myriad of interviews he's had, someone should be looking at him as a reporter for law enforcement/legal news.
