Rep. Ted Yoho just “Karen-ed” AOC. This is what it looks like when a scared white man takes out his fear on someone he sees as weaker than himself: a POC and a woman. He would never have done this to another white man.
“Tensions flared on Capitol Hill this week when a Republican lawmaker challenged Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) on issues of crime and policing in an unusual — and decidedly personal — confrontation on the Capitol steps.”
The Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s never ended, it just moved into the mainstream.
But now it’s moved back into the streets.
And our government is using the same tactics to quash it as it did way back when.
See how on Today’s Rant: Civil Rights Movement 2.0
AntiFa is a portmanteau of “Anti- Fascist.”
The only way they could be a domestic terrorist group is if our country is led by fascists.
You know, the kind of government that sends unidentifiable secret police to snatch citizens off the street.
Oh, wait …

Because it is being used against you on a national scale. And it’s about to get worse.

For those of you who are unaware, anytime one of our soldiers dies in a warzone, the President is briefed.

There’s zero chance he wasn’t told about Russians putting bounties on soldiers, and there’s no chance he wasn’t told that some of those bounties were successful. https://t.co/PLvObdFPhK
The perfect followup question for every reporter to ask when an admin member denies Trump was briefed:
“Who will be fired for this agregious failure to inform the president that Putin, the man the president is trying to help gain readmittance to the G7, has been paying Afghans to kill US soldiers under the president’s nose?”

“Facing strong criticism from Democrats, Trump said on Twitter that neither he nor Vice President Mike Pence had been briefed on the classified assessment. Trump also tried to cast doubt on a New York Times report that said he had been told about the matter.”
“Nobody briefed or told me, @VP Pence, or Chief of Staff @MarkMeadows about the so-called attacks on our troops in Afghanistan by Russians, as reported through an ‘anonymous source’ by the Fake News @nytimes,” Trump wrote. “Everybody is denying it & there have not been many attacks on us…..”
When did we forget that we didn’t need debate to understand some things are just wrong?

Here’s video of Democrat Claire McCaskill attempting to make sure our military gets paid during the government shutdown.
Republican leader Mitch McConnell stops it, so his party can maintain the talking point that “Democrats care more about illegal aliens than out military.”
Early this morning, @clairecmc tried to pass a bill to guarantee military pay and death benefits in the #TrumpShutdown.
