They are holding an event this month to celebrate J6 at Mar-a-lago (where he may or may not appear). About the 140 Capitol police who were attacked by his thugs, Trump says nothing and yet a police union in another state supports him.

By Matt Dixon

A central Florida venue has canceled an event that was to have featured Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., after it learned the event was intended to commemorate the third anniversary of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

The event was set to be hosted by the Republican Party of Osceola County at the Westgate Resorts in Kissimmee. It was originally pitched to Westgate as a small book-signing event featuring Greene, without mention of Jan. 6.

The news sources are posted on or around Jan 4, 2024 for a Jan 6, 2024 anniversary event. I didn't see if it was rescheduled. Apparently the venue was reserved for a "book signing" and when the Jan 6 anniversary angle came out the venue canceled. Good on them, but this is old news.

Local police also should not provide security without payment since they’s usually stiffed as well.

to get what they want, but if they’re hoping to change the subject or force their view on others, then they really don’t understand women. Especially women who have just recently seen a KEY right - that was won and presumably secured half a century ago - abruptly taken away from them.

My body ISN’T mine anymore. Now it evidently belongs to the government (which is still dominated by men).

Of course not. We Dems would never do such a thing. We are what's left of decency, compassion, and morality in our country. We need to hold the line against their obscene cruelty and do the right, moral thing. Always.

So long as they can make people believe these criminals are not guilty of anything, then they will also believe that Donald Trump is innocent. That's the whole point of it.
