Erm…cognitive dissonance at its best (worst??).

What an a$$hole – we have eyes, we have seen the videos, we have seen the photos, we have read the jubilant crowing about breaking stuff.

FFS, does ANYONE actually believe his shit???

As we teach the children, “no means no.”
And if it was such a love fest, then why did he acknowledge that “they shouldn’t have done it”?

Some of what I have read says some of the radicals have caught on to Trump and know he is all talk.
As he hides out he is trying to bullshit the non believers he is not the coward he is and kill on.

Someone needs to combine this audio with video from the attempted coup with cops being stabbed, crushed and hit in the head with fire extinguishers.

Hahahaaa… who am I kidding, no one would believe that.

What? I guess some were killed with kindness or more like bear hugs and the kiss of death.

I hope Pelosi calls McConnell’s bluff, and includes antifa and BLM in the scope of activities leading to January 6th. Bring! It! On! Let’s expose the truth, once and far all!

Well, there’s a kiss that conveys affection, a kiss that conveys love, a kiss that conveys lust, and a kiss that conveys homicide and death. So we have to be careful to be accurate in our use of the word “kiss.”

You can say the same thing about the word “hug,” mutatis mutandis.
