News Flash – The American carnage stops when Trump is arrested
Trump tampers with witness….trump wants revenge….getting harder for DOJ to protect trump
Unethical Linsey Graham ordered to testify
Steve Bannon thinks Trump is the current President and that he is employed by the White House….why else does he want to testify? To have executive privileges you have to be employed by the White House and only the current president can waive those executive privileges.
Steve Bannon pleads to be able to testify, but he committed his crime already so he will go to jail.
Cipollone does not dispute Trumps illegal activities…..Trump to be indicted soon…
Cipollone was Trumps White House lawyer and has NOW testified under oath to convict Trump.
Trumpist making deadly threats and trying to intimidate witnesses!
Trumpist gunmen will continue because Trump has never been punished for his crimes…..they see no Law and no Order. Arrest Trump and save our kids!
Trump attacked his secret service agent. Secret Service Agents asked to testify UNDER oath!
Trump vandalized the White House, destroyed White House property in fit of rage and stole secret documents.
FBI seized John Eastman for criminal activity and now has his cell phone
Ron Johnson lies about his seditious conspiracy efforts.
Mo Brooks, Matt Gates,Scott Perry,Louis Gohmert, Andy Biggs,Paul Gosar, Marjorie Taylor Greene, John Eastman admits guilt….all by asking for pardons!
Everyone knows, if you ask for or accept a pardon you are admitting guilt! A pardon is for a crime committed.
Trump willfully mounted the insurrection and violate conspiracy statute 18 U.S.C. § 371 of the criminal code. Trump also stole secret documents from the White House.
Attorney General Merrick Garland plans to arrest Trump and his leadership team!

Loudermilk is a Trumpist Insurgent. He lead Trumpists into the Capital and then denied it.
Support for Trumpism is support for more mass shooting
No person is above the law! Listen to former DOJ Eric Holder, you can and need to prosecute Trump.
since January 6 2021 not one single Republican lawmaker has been held accountable for their insurrection actions. they will win re-election if not arrested and they will cause more chaos and mass shootings. Put an end to the evil Trumpist Republicans and support the good Republicans and good democrats.
We need to support a federal law mandating prison time for each lie told by an elected official.
More Very Disturbing Trends –
1 Law enforcement has NO OBLIGATION TO HELP ANYONE…that is what their Union will fight for during investigations and trials.
2 Law enforcement cant be prosecuted for Not doing their jobs
3 Law enforcement can legally lie unless they are under oath at that moment
4 The District Attorney will side with the cops almost always
5 Law enforcement has qualified immunity, which makes it very difficult to prosecute them
.
THE MERCENARY Head crushing Blood spraying violence by former 2 REP French Foreign Legionnaire now on Amazon prime……….
So what happens when the story ends and he is alone again next school year? Probably worse given all the attention now and then probably turning into bullying. Where is your superhero now?
cool story!
Man up little dude!
I’m not ~trying~ to sound cynical, because this seems like an overall positive story…
but…
As nice as it is that this kid got a colossal surge of recognition from well-intended strangers from all over the country, it’s potentially not a long-term positive effect
Again, I’m thrilled that he got positive spotlight and a sense that he isn’t invisible to others in his school and in general, but as nice of a gesture as it was, virtually none of those kids or others knows anything about him nor he anything about them
It’s a gray area in my mind as it’s still an upbeat story and this surely felt really good for the kid in the moment getting letters and whatnot, but odds are very strong that 99.9% of the interactions and outreach fizzles out
My school experience wasn’t on the same level as his; my yearbooks are pretty decently signed, but I re-found them about a decade ago and realized that I’d asked nearly anyone and everyone that I’d ever been in a class with or talked to more than once and virtually all of them that signed were things like “take care” (without their name nor mine) or the ever personal “see you next year” or “have a good summer” or a sloppy signature and nothing else.
That’s not to say that in the moment that I was unappreciative, but man it just made it stand out as to how few people actually wrote anything with the slightest hint of meaning or effort
I surely knew at the time that I was trying to artificially inflate my self-esteem by having as many “friends” sign as I could… quite the preview of what MySpace (look it up, kids) or FB would be like in terms of artificial friend counts
Nothing was more sobering than thinking that I had so many “friends” because each year seemed to have a few more illegible scribbles from names I deemed important, only to realize that despite my efforts, we never hung out once outside of class-related encounters
Yeah it was back before cellphones were everywhere as only SOME kids in my HS had on in the mid-late 90’s, but home phones and pre-weekend planning was a thing and virtually none of them that ever signed my stupid yearbook would ever humor me with “yeah, maybe” to hanging out when I’d see what they were up to, and NONE of them ever reached out to me
“Hey, what’re you doing after school or this weekend; wanna do something?” was always met with a version of “oh… I’m hanging out with some friends already that day” (I was pretty dense in the 90’s apparently and never got the hint. Never quite picking up that “hanging out with some friends” effectively excluded me from that category
To make things worse, I’m still “friends” with about 3 dozen or so people I went to HS with… a few I sought back in my big FB days back in the early 2010’s and ironically most of them adding me… and barring rare exceptions in the immediate days following either persons adding of the other, zero communication since
I know there is a limit to the adage of “quality over quantity” and that most people want to feel that they have more than just 1 or 2 friends in the world, but when I became honest with myself that my 120+ FB “friends” were anything but, and that my real friends are those that reach out to me even just a few times a year without me being the sole initiator, I found it liberating.
Granted I haven’t deleted those faux friends on FB, but that’s mainly because I’m on it so rarely that it’s not worth risking being sucked back down the rabbit hole… but yeah, I’ll take my genuine 10 friends that actually reach out to me from time-to-time (or regularly depending on life/work schedules) than inflate the value of an arbitrary number that hasn’t reached out (*or responded to ~ANY~ communication*) in literally years
I will always give leeway to those that are long-established friends that life circumstances or distance has impacted, though those few will send a reply if reached out to
Point is, the hundreds or even thousands of kids that reached out to this boy mean well and I’m sure he appreciated it, but I get the feeling that he’s already aware that 99.9% of this will be one-time correspondences and not meaningful friends moving forward.
The mom also meant well I feel, but if even 10 local kids all of the sudden start reaching out to her son, how much of it was that they were already in his circle and how many may be feeling obligated to do so… no ulterior motives, just doing so to avoid looking like or feeling like part of the problem, not because they actually ~want~ to be his friend or expand an already established acquaintanceship
I dunno, I know times are different than they were in the 90’s and I may just be sour and a killjoy, but this just reminds me of how superficial having a volume of friends is versus having a quality of friends is
It’s like the FB/Kip Drordy episode of South Park… he was just as thrilled getting a single pity-friend on FB as we was when Stan’s 845,343 “friends” were transferred to his profile
Not gonna lie though, it’s pretty awesome that he got to exchange some texts with Paul Rudd. I’m 41 and I’d geek out over getting to message one of the dudes behind 2008’s “Role Models”

Love this kid, honestly I hope he goes to a better school where other peers will treat him right

Alles sehr schön. Aber zuerst zusammen die Nummern 10 und 1. Eine verwohntt.online Brünette und eine anderes Blondine. Es wäre unfair, wenn ich 4 wählen würde
