Barr says Trump has betrayed his office
« Reply #1 on: January 07, 2021, 08:07:42 am »

I listened to the speech Trump gave that seemed (to me--and to others) to be inciting his followers to violence. It seems that even William Barr, one of the President's most loyal puppydogs up to just recently, interpreted it that way as well:

The demonstrations/rioting in the nation's capital have resulted in another death--this time of a well-liked young police officer:

...And then there's the little matter of COVID-19

Anyone watching the Trump followers who rampaged through Washington probably noticed that not one of the demonstrators was wearing a mask.


And there was no social distancing. How could there be? They were piling in en masse. That was what they set out to do, seemingly.


How many more deaths will there be thanks to the spread of COVID-19 that will surely happen as a result of this toxic event?

--And among the demonstrators on January 6 there were some doctors--yes, MDs.
