Biden will be going after Trump tomorrow
https://twitter.com/MikeSington/status/1478831935119974400At the White House media briefing today, press secretary Jen Psaki flagged that when Joe Biden makes remarks at the US Capitol tomorrow morning to mark the anniversary of the January 6 insurrection by extremist supporters of Donald Trump, he will make a strong statement.
She said Biden is going to speak to the truth of what happened, not the lies that some have spread since, and the peril it posed to the rule of law and our system of democratic governance.
She went on to say that the current US president will also talk of the work still needed to strengthen American democracy to reject the hate and lies we saw on January 6 and to unite our country.
Psaki said: President Biden has been clear-eyed about the threat the former president represents to our democracy and how the former president constantly works to undermine basic American values and the rule of law. And President Biden has of course spoken repeatedly about how the former president abused his office, undermined the constitution and ignored his oath to the American people in an effort to amass more power for himself. and his allies.
Biden, the White House continued, sees January 6 as the tragic culmination of what those four years under President Trump did to our country and they reflected the importance to the president of winning the battle for the soul of our nation.
I would expect that President Biden will lay out the significance of what happened at the Capitol and the singular responsibility President Trump has for the chaos and carnage that we saw, Psaki said.

Shooter's Mom sent a letter of support to Trump
Pretty standard trumper stuff
until the sign-off:
Jennifer Crumbley, 43, worked as a real estate broker in the Oxford area, but her staff bio has now been taken down. Although James online presence demonstrates a preference for the Seattle Seahawks, his posts were not overtly political.
Jennifer, however, in November 2016, penned an open letter to President-Elect Donald Trump, which she posted on her blog.
Mr. Trump, I actually love that you are a bad public speaker because that showed sincerity, and humility, she wrote. You changed your mind, and you said so what. You made the famous grab them in the pussy comment, did it offend me? No. I say things all the time that people take the wrong way, do I mean them, not always. Do I agree that you should of [sic] shown your tax returns? No. I dont care what you do or maybe dont pay in taxes, I think those are personal and if the Govt can lock someone up over $10,000 of unpaid taxes and you slipped on by, then that shows the corruption.
Crumbley went on to tell Trump that she hoped he would really uncover the politicians for what I believe they really are, and that he might shut down Big Pharma, make health care affordable for me and my MIDDLE CLASS family again. She was in favor of Trumps long-promised border wall, and noted that she was not racist because her grandfather came straight off the boat in Italy.
As a female and a Realtor, thank you for allowing my right to bear arms, the letter continued. Allowing me to be protected if I show a home to someone with bad intentions. Thank you for respecting that Amendment.
She complained about parents at other schools where the kids come from illegal immigrant parents, and dont care about learning.
It was signed, A hard working Middle Class Law Abiding Citizen who is sick of getting fucked in the ass and would rather be grabbed by the pussy.
