Interesting, the stark contrast between the videos posted by the White House and those posted by the people.

What’s really going on in D.C.? What you see depends on who’s filming. Videos coming from the White House and the public offer split-screen narratives in the weeks since President Donald Trump declared a crime emergency in the city.

Since President Trump declared a crime emergency in D.C., ordered a federal takeover of the police force and sent in the National Guard, videos coming from the White House and the public offer split-screen narratives about what is happening in the city.

70% of Americans believe same-sex couples should be legally allowed to marry.

But Christian White Nationalism doesn’t care about national sentiment. They are deluded into believing they’re saving unholy sinners from an amoral society.

Never forget, 2/3rds of white Americans OPPOSED Dr. King, the Freedom Rides and the lunch counter sit-ins King promoted.

So much for that “line.”

I had Southwest Airlines lose my (gate-checked) wheelchair once.
Kid they sent to get me w/one of their chairs didn’t know where customer service wa. He just wheeled me out onto the side walk (in the rain, at 1:30am) & left me.
I had to get an attorney help me get them to reimburse me for the chair.
