“Truth of the matter is, you all know, you all know in your gut what has to be done,” Biden told his wealthy patrons, shortly after his campaign launch. “We can disagree in the margins. But the truth of the matter is, it’s all within our wheelhouse and nobody has to be punished. No one’s standard of living would change. Nothing would fundamentally change … When you have income inequality as large as we have in the United States today, it brews and ferments political discord and basic revolution. It allows demagogues to step in.”

He was trying to sell them on income redistribution by saying the alternative is revolution.

I think a previous iteration of this thread pointed out that "coal miner" used to be the last resort job for dead-end losers, and it wasn't until it became a way to push back against climate issues that coal miners were seen as a noble Blue Collar True American™ archetype.

WELL THAT DIDN’T TAKE LONG!

The Fraud In Chief, barely 24 hours into his illegitimate presidency, betrays our troops.

Contrary to the glowing praise heaped upon Biden from Marxist boot-licker news networks such as CNN, Joe is a screw up. He always has been a screw up and he always will be. He used thousands of military men to protect him at his inauguration. He also wanted them there to provide an illusion that there were actually people there in attendance. After he was done with them, he tossed them aside like a kid does when he’s finished playing with plastic army men.

After Pelosi screamed for more and more troops to protect ‘her’ capitol from a non-existent threat, our military were forced into a cold parking garage instead of being provided sleeping quarters in a warm building.

The story is that a member of the National Guard was not wearing a mask on federal property (just like the Cheater in Chief) and some Democrat congressworm freaked out. This resulted in the troops being forced into an underground parking garage with no sleeping mats and only ONE bathroom.

Compare this disgusting treatment of the military to how President Trump treated the troops…tells you everything!



The Military is not the Democrats’ play things.

Never before in American history did troops turn their backs to their commander in chief. Yes, it happened when the Fraud in Chief Biden’s motorcade drove by on Wednesday.

https://youtu.be/e7HUqbU4PUs

Cheater in Chief Biden is not our president, and many in the military seems to agree with our opinion!

This morning OANN reported that President Trump has given permission for the troops to stay at his lavish Trump Hotel in Washington DC.

TRUMP LOVES THE TROOPS. BIDEN USES THEM AS DECORATION AND CANNON FODDER.

WHICH AMERICA DO YOU WANT TO LIVE IN?
1. Some Capitol Cop told the guard to move to the parking garage. As you might imagine, Biden is not micromanaging the guard like some kind of RTS, and the situation was rectified once word got out.

2. As I’m sure two seconds of thought has already told you, the troops are there for security, not to look pretty. So yeah, most of them are looking outward for potential threats. This may be a surprise to Garrison, who has likely gotten used to Trump treating the troops as props for four years. Look at the rope keeping the troops away from Trump lol.

Weren't the people killed the actual threat actors though? It did they kill bystanders and/or capitol staff?

Because I don't think any amount of military presence can prevent a fit from tasering his own nuts and dying from it.

Not that I don't agree that threat was real to some degree.

There is no evidence it didnt happen - the Snopes "evidence" was the guys wife say so. A highly bias source with no actual knowledge of the event is not evidence.
