The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.

It’s not just that the President of the United States posted a video of eleven people being murdered in international waters it’s that the President of the United States ordered the murder of eleven people in international waters so he could post a video of it.

If the video of the notebook is authenticated (that Robin supposedly uploaded prior to the shooting), the note in “Russian” at the top of the church sketch is just a translation of the English words “Annunciation from memory.”

That indicates to me that Robin did not have knowledge of Russian language, but was possibly spelling that note in code that their mother or other witnesses could not interpret

If the uploaded YT video from Robin Westman is authenticated, the Russian note at the top of the church sketch in the notebook is simply a transliteration of “Annunciation from memory.” Not translation; It’s simply using Cyrillic letters to spell those words @msnbc.com @atrupar.com @meidastouch.com

There is no greater crime on earth than to disrespect a cop, even if it's just imagined in their empty head...even if they aren't cops...even if they have no identification. Just get in line. Power grabs are like alcoholism; they get worse, and they don't just "get better" without intervention.
