You laugh but one of the floors was directly above where they dealt with all the issues of that nature. It was made very clear that we weren’t allowed on that floor and had to work after hours.

He’s such a smooth dude. Very smart. Made the mob a lot of money with his gas station scam. Becoming a pastor is taking the piss though

Dominicans in my experience have the biggest reputation for intellectualism.

Awesome press conference:

Looks to me like the brown woman is being held to a different standard to the orange man.

FTFY

This really brings it home, doesn't it.

There are members of our and every community who do not feel safe because of what their name is, where they are from, what religion they carry the faith in. And in the States there is a community of conspiracy believing nutcases who are ready to activate their beliefs into the real world, or at least threaten to do so. And in a country where obtaining military grade automatic weapons is almost as simple as shopping online.

This clip points out the daily abuse and threats those in public office receive. Especially those whose sex, gender, skin colour or religion triggers hate filled nut jobs online. AOC was in a position where she felt threatened because rioters, likely consisting of some who had directly threatened her life, were active in the area in which she was located. If she wants to get all emotional about it, then fair enough imo.

Robinhood has finally opened back up to allow plebs to buy GME. GME has fallen from $420.69 to now $49.17 (that’s still a shitload more then the $19 it was at before wsb pushed it up) because the only thing that people could do was sell or hold.

Robinhood lifts trading restrictions on all stocks, including GameStop — Reuters

Online brokerage app Robinhood said on Thursday it has removed temporary trading restrictions on all stocks, including GameStop Corp and AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc, according to an update on its website.

Be interesting to see what happens now. The WEB gave the Wall Street hedges a black eye and the players, including Robinhood ceo now have to front up to congress. I was just checking out their forum, it’s got 8.5 million subscribers, but a lot of them are very negative about what WSB are doing. Some nefarious shit is going on in there. Mods have been replaced and all.

They can’t go toe to toe with the system but they definitely put the wind up em.

I was a bit harsh on her. No doubt the constant threats she received scared her, so she probably did feel in immediate danger, even though she wasn’t.

AOC is probably lying through her teeth

Just to be clear, did you watch the Reuters video?
she recalls hiding in her office escaping to another building.
while there’s an overlay of rioters storming the hallways of the Capitol.
they were two seperate events, yet they have been monologued into a single event.. she was in another building.

This, it’s terrible that she felt threatened by a police officer going into her office to help her...
but to throw him under the bus to say, he was threatening, and my staffer was sizing him up, as he told us to go to the designated safe area..
now, as we were running away, I’m sure he was sending us to the protestors, that were banging on all the windows outside..

That was my point about being in the water when the shark alarm goes off.

The question is then, does she have the metal to do what she does without the hate for her effecting her politics.
