    'WalkAway' founder Brandon Straka arrested for Capitol riots after his own family called the FBI on him.

    He should have walked away.

    Brandon Straka was charged with three counts by federal prosecutors: impeding law enforcement during a civil disorder, entering restricted grounds, and disorderly conduct with intent to disturb a hearing before Congress. He has been arrested.

    Straka founded the "WalkAway Campaign" that sought to encourage Democrats to leave the Democratic Party and spoke at a "Stop the Steal" rally in D.C. the day before the riots.

    If that were true, then American society as a whole wouldn't be in disarray right now.

    That's the saddest part. Trump's defense is ludicrous. But it doesn't matter if Republicans will acquit him anyway. 'Cause, like my brother said, "Republicans get away with it."

    They fail to hold each other accountable. And they double down on wrong.

    So now there's a schism in the party between what is being called the democratic caucus and the sedition caucus.

    That second name is certainly apt, imo.

    Officer Sicknick laid in honor yesterday in the Capitol Rotunda. He was killed during the insurrection at the US Capitol. He is one of only five people to be honored in such a way. It was aired across the nation with one exception:

    On Tuesday, the body of Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, who was killed by pro-Trump insurrectionists during the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, was laid in honor in the Capitol Rotunda. President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden arrived that evening to pay their respects. Americans were able to watch the ceremony on multiple news channels—but not on Fox News. On Fox News, Sicknick's ceremony was barely mentioned.
    Fox's attempt to mostly pretend Sicknick's ceremony was not happening did not go without notice. In fact, it seems pretty much everybody noticed it, to the point that both blasting and mocking Fox for their silence became the evening's hot Twitter pastime.
    Blue Lives Matter.

    Except when they don't.

    Is this real? If it is then someone desperately craves the attention.

    This does appear to be real, Wind. It's been reported in a wide array of places that way. I went to Trump's site to look at his statements but they aren't in letterhead and he doesn't appear to have posted it there. The last one there was from the fourth.

    One report noted that this letter was not an anti-vaccine statement.

    Fauci has stated that the vaccine development was good. But the plan to distribute was vague and unworkable.

    Recall that Trump had already blamed states for not receiving what he claimed they'd been sent. Many states were ready to go and no vaccines showed up or nowhere near what was expected. Distribution is where he dropped the ball. And he started talking about not sending vaccinations to 'blue states'.

    Because he's twelve.

    Private companies did what they do, research, develop, and make money hand over foot. Government failed miserably.

    If Trump's CFO turns, he likely will. No one's above the law. The President is not supposed to be. (obviously, money and power and good lawyers get people off)

    Trump can't get good lawyers now. He can't hide the evidence anymore. The state can and will prosecute him. He'll perjure himself because he's so impulsive. I don't think he can run forever. His old tools aren't going to work the same anymore.

    I think he has lost his marbles a long time ago.
