BE WARNED THERE WILL BE GRAPHIC VIDEO!

What pisses me off is the junk food media pundits calling this shooter a boy or teen. He's a grown ass man when he decided make that decision to travel from Illinois to Wisconsin to "protect" the streets.

He was not a registered EMS, a security guard, police officer or a member of the National Guard. He was just some punk who wanted to show off his "masculinity" by holding an AR-15 and parading around the city with a bunch of wannabes. 

He shot people. He wasn't arrest on the spot. He ended up going home, eat a meal, call his pastor and his lawyer. He turned himself in Illinois. He got donations to help his bail. Got a shout out from washed up celebrity Ricky Schroeder and became a folk hero on the far-right.

On top of that, he flashes the WP symbol and drinks (mind you underage) with the Proud Boys.

Had he stayed home, he wouldn't be in the mess. 

See Jacob Blake was shot in back and paralyzed when he entered a vehicle. They claimed he had a knife. He didn't attempt to stab the cop who shot him. He did put up a fight before entering the vehicle but he didn't pull a gun or the knife on the cop. He's still alive and thankful. He will sue the cop and the department.

But a cop walks and I believe the prosecution's failure to gather things may help this white terrorist walk.

I get that feeling that the jury will acquit the 18-year old man who shot and killed two and injured one in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

The white terrorist actually sobbed while being cross-examined. And the judge went at the prosecutor after the state brought evidence into the trial despite being told that anything done is irrelevant.

It was class act of white privilege and distortions.

In dramatic and risky testimony in his own defense, the shooter, 18, portrayed himself as wanting to help others by providing medical aid and extinguishing fires during the protests last year in Kenosha, Wisconsin. He said he used his gun only after being attacked and ambushed.

Prosecutors sought to paint the shooter as a vigilante who carried an assault-style weapon into a volatile melee and wanted to use it, asking him about his ammunition and his playing violent video games.

"I did what I had to do to stop the person who was attacking me," The shooter said under questioning by Kenosha County Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger.

"By killing them?" Binger asked.

"Two of them passed away but I stopped the threat from attacking me," replied the shooter, whose testimony ended on Wednesday in the trial, which the judge said could be finished by Monday or Tuesday.

"By using deadly force?" Binger asked.

"I used deadly force," the shooter said. "... I didn't know if it was going to kill them. But I used deadly force to stop the threat that was attacking me."

Rittenhouse is charged in the killing of Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, and Anthony Huber, 26, and the wounding of Gaige Grosskreutz, 27, during protests on Aug. 25, 2020. The shooter was 17 at the time of the killings, has pleaded not guilty.

The shooter has emerged as a divisive figure, with politics coursing through the case. He is a hero to some conservatives who believe in unfettered gun rights and see the shootings as justified during the Kenosha chaos. Many on the left see the shooter as a symbol of an American gun culture run amok.

By the night of the shootings, Kenosha had experienced two nights of tumultuous protests triggered by the police shooting of a Black man, Jacob Blake, who was left paralyzed from the waist down.

Several businesses were burned down and there was looting. Police used rubber bullets and tear gas to control crowds, which included men wearing military-style gear and carrying rifles who confronted the sometimes-violent demonstrators.

Dressed in a navy blue suit and dark blue tie, the shooter initially was composed on the witness stand until his attorney asked him to detail his encounter with Rosenbaum, who he shot four times. Video evidence showed Rosenbaum pursuing and throwing a plastic bag at the shooter before the fatal encounter. The shooter said Rosenbaum grabbed his gun.

The judge was caught reading a magazine during the trial.

"I didn't notice Mr. Rosenbaum until he came out from behind the car and ambushed me," the shooter testified, before he started to breathe heavily and lose his composure, shedding tears and sobbing, prompting the judge to call for a break.

Some jurors watched with a look of sympathy as he cried. The shooter's mother sobbed in the courtroom watching her son.

Earlier in the night, the shooter said Rosenbaum had threatened twice to kill him, first by saying that he would kill the teen if he caught him alone and then telling a group he was with "I'm going to cut your fucking hearts out." The slain man's fiance testified that Rosenbaum had bipolar disorder.

The shooter faces a misdemeanor charge of underage possession of his weapon along with five felony counts.

The defense made a motion for a mistrial after Binger asked the shooter about his decision to remain silent until now, as is his right, and about a video recorded two weeks before the shootings in which the teen talked about shooting men he thought were shoplifting at a pharmacy.

Kenosha County Judge Bruce Schroeder had already ruled the video inadmissible. He erupted at Binger after the jury left the courtroom and said he would consider the mistrial motion.

The judge was caught on camera reading a catalog for cookies and having a ringtone with Lee Greenwood's God Bless America, a far-right theme song among Republicans and Washed Up 45.

"When you say you were acting in good faith, I don't believe you," the judge said to Binger.

The prosecution pressed the shooter about why he took it upon himself to carry a gun and offer assistance normally provided by local authorities in a hazardous situation.

The teen, who had taken some first aid courses, brought a medical kit and testified to helping people with minor injuries. He said he was there to help guard a used car dealership.

"I brought the gun for my protection," the shooter testified. "I didn't want to have to kill anybody that night."

The shooter said when he shot Rosenbaum he had his earlier threats in his mind and was also rattled by a gunshot fired nearby by another man, Joshua Ziminski. Rosenbaum had also wrapped his red shirt around his head, obstructing his face.

Binger repeatedly asked the shooter about whether he understood the power of his rifle and that Rosenbaum and the others could have similarly viewed him as a threat. While acknowledging Rosenbaum was unarmed, he responded that he had no choice.

"I pointed at him because he kept running at me and I didn't want him to chase me," Rittenhouse said. "I continued to shoot until he was no longer a threat to me."

The shooter said he shot Huber, who had swung a skateboard at him, because he pulled at his rifle, and fired at Grosskreutz, who was armed with a handgun, because he had pointed the pistol "directly" at the teen's head.

The shooter is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. The shooter faces up to LIFE in the iron college if convicted.

The way I see it going, the prosecution may have blundered this big time. If he walks, then I would not want to be him when he's free. He's going to be like that asshole who shot Trayvon Martin.

Aaron Rodgers: I got the coronavirus.

Hey, we thought you gotten the vaccine!

Rodgers: I said I was immunized from the coronavirus. I listened to Joe Rogan and I believed that using ivermectin will cure me of the coronavirus.

Scientists and medical professionals said that ivermectin is untested and not recommended.

Rodgers: You guys are too invested in wokeism.

But you may face fines and you could lose endorsements. Your team could face Fines or worse get the coronavirus.

Rodgers: It is what it is.

After that the team's loss, you believe NFL players should wear masks during press conferences? Should players get vaccinated to show that Americans are turning to folks like you for inspiration?

Can we forgive him for his utter stupidity?

Rodgers: It their decision. I am a role model to thousands of fans. I hosted Jeopardy! and participated in State Farm commercials with Jake. I am not worried. I'll find a company that will use my image and likeness. I am not a parent or a doctor. I did what was right for me. I don't impose my beliefs on anyone.

The NFL came hard on Rodgers after the Green Bay quarterback lied about being vaccinated. He caught the coronavirus during a Halloween Party. He also appeared at pressers without a mask and jeopardized not only himself, but fellow players, his coach, the Green Bay staff and his family.

Even his punishment is controversial. Some believe that he got off easy where folks like Colin Kaepernick are punished for far less serious issues.

Some NFL teams reportedly aren’t satisfied with the league’s handling of its investigation into the Packers and quarterback Aaron Rodgers over the violation of COVID-19 protocols.

The NFL fined the Packers $300,000 for not enforcing COVID-19 protocols concerning Rodgers, according to multiple reports. The quarterback and his teammate, wide receiver Allen Lazard, were both fined $14,650 each.

The violations of the league’s investigation included Rodgers not wearing a mask during his news conferences, and Green Bay’s failure to report that Rodgers and Lazard attended a team Halloween party. Unvaccinated players are not allowed to gather in groups of more than three, according to a league rule.

The NFL launched its investigation after Rodgers tested positive for COVID-19 last week, and went on to confirm that he is unvaccinated against the virus.

Other NFL teams are said to be “pissed” about what they feel is an unfair punishment, according to ProFootballTalk, compared to other disciplines the league has handed down to teams and players that have violated COVID-19 protocols.

“That’s bullsit.” one source told the website.

On Pat McAfee's show, Rodgers complains about the "woke mob" making him look like a bad guy.

For instance, Saints coach Sean Payton was fined $100,000 for failing to properly wear a face-covering in Week 2 of the 2020 NFL season. The team was also fined $500,000 last November for a maskless, post-game celebration, and was also docked a draft pick at the time.

The Packers are said to have been warned that future violations could result in a potential change in draft position or the loss of a draft choice, according to ESPN.

Packers president Mark Murphy later addressed the NFL’s investigation in a statement.

“We respect the League’s findings and we recognize the importance of adherence to the COVID protocols to keep our team and organization safe and healthy. We will continue to educate the team regarding the importance of the protocols and remain committed to operating within the protocols,” he said.

As of Wednesday, Rodgers has not publicly reacted to the results of the investigation.

During the quarterback’s weekly appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show” on Tuesday, Rodgers sounded optimistic that he could play Sunday against the Seahawks. He also admitted that he “misled” the public in regard to past comments about his vaccination status.

The reigning NFL MVP will finish his 10-day isolation period on Saturday and must clear certain health hurdles before he can be cleared to rejoin the team.

President Joe Biden had hopes that Americans would take this shit seriously. Unfortunately, Republicans so fucking eager to return to power will keep Americans fixated on the culture wars. Now vaccinations are part of this culture war.

But those fighting the culture war by not vaccinating, not wearing face mask in public, not following protocols, and deliberately ignoring federal and international rules when traveling are going to be the first casualties of the war. 

With this pandemic mostly affecting states where Republican governors are, we may have to return to wearing facial protection and cutting back services to reduce the spread of the coronavirus.

We came so far only to have a bunch of selfish idiots set it back. Just because they hate President Joe Biden.

The Republicans are so devoted to destroying Biden and the country for what....to regain power.

Pathetic.

The coronavirus doesn't care about your age, race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, politics, economic or social standings. It doesn't care about your business, your performances, your personal finances and travel. It doesn't care about the funerals, the birthday parties, the weddings, the vacations, the events and your graduations. It doesn't care about anything. It's a living organism that causes mild symptoms that include: fever, sore throats, chills, respiratory issues, loss of taste or smell and other unknown symptoms. If you have a weak immune system or health issues, your risk increases.

Death does happen to at least 40% of those who are affected by COVID-19. 

If you're not vaccinated, your chances of death increases to 48%.

Healthy people can die from this. Take this seriously. You only have one life!

Best known for his role in Quantum Leap, from being a child actor to a well-regarded entertainer, Dean Stockwell passed away at the age of 85.

Former child star Dean Stockwell, the Oscar-nominated actor who turned his back on Hollywood again and again only to earn cult status in “Blue Velvet” and “Married to the Mob,” has died.

The veteran actor, who appeared in more than 200 roles that spanned film, television and theater, also starred in the movies “The Boy With Green Hair,” “Anchors Aweigh,” “Long Day’s Journey Into Night” and David Lynch’s “Dune.” He found fame on TV in the sci-fi series “Quantum Leap” and “Battlestar Galactica.”

Stockwell died early Sunday at age 85 of natural causes, agent Jay Schwartz said Tuesday in a statement to The Times. Schwartz was uncertain where Stockwell died.

“I had the pleasure of working with Dean Stockwell for a short period of time before his retirement from the entertainment industry,” his former manager Lesa Kirk said in a statement to The Times. “Dean was gentle, gracious and one of a kind, a class act. Dean will truly be missed.”

Stockwell was very much a child of Hollywood: He was born Robert Dean Stockwell in North Hollywood in 1936 into a show business family, complete with stage parents. His father was Harry Stockwell, who voiced Prince Charming in Walt Disney’s 1937 animated classic “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” and his mother, Betty, was an actress and dancer. His younger brother, Guy Stockwell, was an actor who appeared in dozens of movies and TV shows and later became an acting coach before his death in 2002.

Stockwell’s parents pushed him into theater at age 7, and as a young boy he made his Broadway debut with his brother in 1943’s “The Innocent Voyage.” Two years later, he signed as a contract player at MGM, where he made his film debut in “The Valley of Decision” with Greer Garson and Gregory Peck.

That same year he made a splash in Gene Kelly’s classic musical comedy “Anchors Aweigh,” alongside Kelly, Frank Sinatra and Kathryn Grayson. Over the next seven years, he appeared in 17 MGM films, including “The Green Years” (1946), “Gentleman’s Agreement” (1947), “The Boy With Green Hair” (1948) and “The Secret Garden” (1949).

By 15, he’d already made 20 films but disliked the attention, so he bid farewell to Hollywood in 1952, when he was just 16. To escape the pressure of stardom, he changed his name and roamed the country for five years, picking up what odd jobs he could.

But with few marketable skills, he returned to acting in 1957, appearing in a Broadway production of “Compulsion” as the intense leading man. He reprised the role for the 1959 film adaptation and won an acting award at the Cannes Film Festival for his performance. He also appeared as Edmund opposite Katharine Hepburn and Ralph Richardson in the 1962 film version of “Long Day’s Journey Into Night.” That performance earned him another Cannes award.
Most memorable performance was the assistant to Scott Bakula in Quantum Leap.

The actor married “The Diary of Anne Frank” star Millie Perkins in 1960, but they divorced two years later. Despite his renewed success, Stockwell took a three-year break from the industry in the 1960s and became a self-proclaimed hippie, hanging out in Topanga Canyon with actors Dennis Hopper and Russ Tamblyn.

He made another comeback in the early 1970s, appearing in several television and film roles, only to leave the business again in 1976. He met his second wife, Joy Marchenko, on the beach during the 1976 Cannes Film Festival, and they wed in 1981.

Stockwell returned to Hollywood again, making his directorial debut with Neil Young in the offbeat apocalyptic comedy “Human Highway,” which he co-wrote and starred in with Hopper and Tamblyn, in 1982. But again he abandoned his acting career and sold real estate in Santa Fe, N.M.

“The [best acting] scrolls from Cannes, I threw in the fireplace one night,” he said in a 1990 interview with The Times. “I don’t know. I couldn’t get any work. I was depressed. I was [angry] one night and I threw ’em in the fire.”

But almost as soon as he left town, Hollywood came looking for him again.

Stockwell took supporting parts in a string of films before running into director David Lynch in Mexico City. Lynch said he thought Stockwell had already died.

“This person looked familiar, but [I told myself] it couldn’t be who I thought it was, and it made me feel a little nutty,” Lynch told The Times in 1990. “Then I realized it was Dean, and he was alive.”

The duo worked together on Lynch’s 1984 adaptation of “Dune,” in which Stockwell played the evil Dr. Wellington Yueh. He stuck with Lynch when the director began filming “Blue Velvet,” in which he played a pimp who coos while torturing a girl.

“I didn’t feel that I was taking a chance with ‘Blue Velvet,’” Stockwell told The Times. “I felt I was hitting the nail on the head. Dennis [Hopper] played an unforgivable psycho in the film, and I was supposed to be someone he admired. I realized I had to be stranger than he was.”

Still, Stockwell said he never felt he belonged in the mainstream of show business.

“I’ve always felt I was off to the side, somehow,” he told The Times in 1986. “People are always asking me: ‘Why do you keep making these offbeat movies?’ The answer is: They’re the only ones offered to me usually.”

But Hollywood eventually took notice and Stockwell earned a supporting actor Oscar nomination for Jonathan Demme’s 1988 comedy “Married to the Mob,” playing mafioso Tony “The Tiger” Russo.

Fresh off the nomination, Stockwell took on the role of Adm. Al Calavicci, a wise-cracking hologram and best friend to Scott Bakula’s time-traveling physicist, on NBC’s sci-fi series “Quantum Leap” from 1989 to 1993; he won a Golden Globe Award in 1990. The series earned both men a cult following that continued when Stockwell played John Cavil on Syfy’s acclaimed “Battlestar Galactica” from 2006 to 2009.

“How lucky were we to get him?” Bakula, who met Stockwell during their 1988 audition for “Quantum Leap,” said Tuesday in a statement to The Times. “A few months later he would be nominated for an Academy Award for his role in ‘Married to the Mob,’ but he was stuck with us. Serendipity? All I know is, he never tried to get out or complain, he loved the role and the show and the rest was history.”

Stockwell went on to appear in several more films, including action-thrillers “Air Force One” with Harrison Ford in 1997 and “The Manchurian Candidate” in 2004. He also had recurring roles in the short-lived series “The Tony Danza Show” and “JAG.” In 2014, he reunited with Bakula for a guest appearance on “NCIS: New Orleans.” In his later years, the pair also made the rounds at various comic book and sci-fi conventions.

An avowed environmentalist, Stockwell voiced eco-villain Duke Nukem in the 1990s environmental cartoon “Captain Planet and the Planeteers.”

His admirers raised the $30,000 sponsorship fee for the actor to get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame by recycling bottles and cans.

Actor and longtime friend Tamblyn, who starred with Stockwell in “The Boy With Green Hair” and Hopper’s “The Last Movie” (1971), was among those who paid tribute to Stockwell.

“Dean. My oldest friend. A godfather-figure to my daughter, Amber. Brilliant artist. Loving dad. We met on the set of The Boy With Green Hair, stayed close til his last breath,” Tamblyn tweeted. “Rest easy now, brother. Give Dennis a hug from me when you see him on the other side.

Lydia Cornell, who worked with Stockwell on the “Quantum Leap” pilot, tweeted that he “always had a mischievous glint of humor in his eyes.”

His “Battlestar Galactica” costar Edward James Olmos also recalled their years working together.

“A true giant of a human being has passed,” Olmos tweeted. “I was so fortunate to have worked with him on Miami Vice and Battlestar. I will cherish the years we spent together He was a gift to all who truly knew him.”

Alex Winter, of “Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure” fame, praised Stockwell as well.

“Dean Stockwell was one of the greatest actors of his generation,” Winter wrote on Facebook. “Less showboaty and affected than many of his more famous contemporaries, but often more nuanced and interesting. I wanted him badly for my Showbiz Kids doc but he politely refused, he was done with the camera. RIP.”

Stockwell is survived by his wife, Joy, and their two children, Austin and Sophie.

Veteran anchor and MSNBC host Brian Williams will be leaving NBC News once his contract is up. The longtime fixture at NBC was demoted after his infamous fabrication of his journalism. He was once the host of NBC Nightly News from 2004 until 2015.

He would soon be hosting MSNBC with his show The 11th Hour which has been a staple of the primetime lineup for five years. The show pulls in 1.3 million viewers and has been famous for Williams doing a day by day of Washed Up 45 and President Joe Biden's daily routines.

Williams is leaving NBC at the end of the year to “spend time with his family,” MSNBC president Rashida Jones said Tuesday.

In his farewell to colleagues, the veteran journalist took stock of some of his accomplishments: “28 years, 38 countries, 8 Olympic games, 7 Presidential elections, half a dozen Presidents, a few wars, and one SNL.

“Good friends were in great supply at NBC. I was fortunate that everyone I worked with made me better at my job," Williams, 62, wrote.

In an email, Jones said Willams’ tenure had been marked by breaking “countless” major stories and attracting top journalists to his programs. 

In 2015, Williams was suspended by the network for six months after telling an inaccurate story about his helicopter being hit by a rocket-propelled grenade.

He admitted on air that he "made a mistake in recalling the events of 12 years ago.”

After the suspension, Williams moved to MSNBC, where he later launched the “The 11th Hour.”

"My return years later was my choice, as was launching 'The 11th Hour' that I'm as proud of as the decade I spent anchoring Nightly News," Williams said in his statement. "I wanted it to be called 'The 11th Hour' (it was late in the 2016 campaign), and I wanted it to air at 11 p.m. Eastern time.

"I ask all those who are a part of our loyal viewing audience to remain loyal. The 11th Hour will remain in good hands, produced by the best team in cable news."

Williams did not announce future plans but said he had many things he hoped to do and expected that he'll "pop up again somewhere. "

So who will replace Williams?

I have my bets on Ali Velshi, Shepard Smith, Alicia Menendez, Claire McCaskill and Medihi Hassan to fill the void. But it's strongly on Velshi.

Former Georgia Democrat who was a triple amputee after serving in the Vietnam War passed away on Tuesday. Max Cleland (born Joseph Maxwell Cleland) was a disabled U.S. Army Veteran who is a recipient of the Silver Star and the Bronze Star for valorous actions in combat, and a one term senator.

He passed away at the age of 79.

He lost his arm and both his legs during the Vietnam War. 

His personal assistant Linda Dean announced his passing at his home in Atlanta.

Cleland was a U.S. Army captain who served in the Vietnam War. He picked up a live grenade and had exploded on him. He often blamed himself for the f-up, but it was revealed a solider was reckless in preparedness.

He spent many months in hospitals ill-equipped to help wounded soldiers. He found himself to become an advocate for veterans and disabled Americans.

Jimmy Carter appointed Cleland to lead the Veterans Administration which he held from 1977 to 1981.

His most memorable role was his term in the U.S. Senate. He was considered a moderate Democrat who worked Republicans and Democrats alike. Cleland supported the 2003 war in Iraq. He also supported some of George W. Bush's policies when it came to tax cuts and reduced spending.

However he was targeted by the Republicans and their goddamn culture wars. The scary Muslim was the topic de jour of the Republicans during the Bush years. Support the war or you're supporting the enemy was the Saxby Chambliss way of winning.

Chambliss used weasel words to depict Cleland and Democrats as sympathizers of terrorism. He used Osama Bin Laden's image in an ad to scare white voters.

Cleland would lose to Chambliss by five points. 

Chambliss never served in the military was criticized by Republican veterans like John McCain and Chuck Hagel. 

He also served as the Georgia Secretary of State in 1983-1996. He was a member of the Georgia senate from 1971 until 1975.

President Biden called Cleland a good valued senator. Biden was a senator from 1973 until 2009.

Republicans keep pushing violence and its dangerous. Their constant hypocrisy and spread of the big lie will lead to another insurrection. These folks have no shame, no filter, no class and no clue of the repercussions of their rhetoric.

White nationalist lawmaker shares an anime with himself superimpose to a character. 

He used stock footage of migrants crossing the border, U.S. Border Patrol agents on horseback, and of course him slaying controversial lawmaker, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY). He stopped shy of trying to slay President Joe Biden.

Gosar would pull the video but the backlash is there and the anime earned the ire of the Democrats, The White House and Ocasio-Cortez herself. The lawmaker said that he's a "creepy member who fundraises for Neo-Nazis." 

Ocasio-Cortez tweeted in response Monday saying a "creepy member" of the House had "shared a fantasy video of him killing me."

"And he'll face no consequences bc @GOPLeader cheers him on with excuses," the New York Democrat added.

As part of the initial tweet, Gosar asked, "Any anime fans out there?"

He also shared a link to the video.

Gosar is portrayed as a cartoon anime-type hero and is seen attacking a giant with Ocasio-Cortez' face with a sword from behind. The giant can then be seen crumbling to the ground.

Another scene shows Gosar flying through the air, swinging two swords at a character with President Biden's face.
Ocasio-Cortez can be a pain in the ass but I don't want anything to happen to her or Gosar.

Gosar did not respond to CNN's request for comment seeking an explanation for the video and its meaning.

Gosar's digital director, Jessica Lycos, said in a statement to The Washington Post on Monday night, "Everyone needs to relax."

Gosar tweeted a similar sentiment on Tuesday morning, using another meme that included the phrase, "It's a cartoon. Relax."

Calls to QAnon Leader Karen McCarthy have also not been returned.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi urged McCarthy to call on the House Ethics Committee and law enforcement to investigate Gosar's video.

"Threats of violence against Members of Congress and the President of the United States must not be tolerated. @GOPLeader should join in condemning this horrific video and call on the Ethics Committee and law enforcement to investigate," Pelosi tweeted Tuesday.

In a news release, four Democrats who co-chair the House Democratic Policy and Communications Committee, wrote, "In any other job in America, if a coworker made a video killing another coworker, that person would be fired."

The Democrats called on McCarthy to take action, writing "Mr. McCarthy needs to decide whether he will finally stand with the American people on the side of law and order or he will continue to support violence and chaos." The co-chairs include Democratic Reps. Matt Cartwright of Pennsylvania, Debbie Dingell of Michigan, Ted Lieu of California and Joe Neguse of Colorado.

Twitter said Monday evening that the video violated its rules on "hateful conduct" but did not remove the video, instead affixing a label to it that reads, "Twitter has determined that it may be in the public's interest for the Tweet to remain accessible."

The video was also posted to Instagram, owned by Facebook (now Meta).

Instagram labeled the video as "sensitive content" Tuesday. "The video may contain graphic or violent content," the label states.

In a section explaining why the video was labeled that way, Instagram explains, "This post doesn't go against our community standards, but may contain images that some people might find upsetting."

The company did not respond to CNN's request for comment Monday night.

White House deputy press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters on Tuesday that "there is absolutely no place for of any kind of -- no place for any violence of any sort in this political system," but she did not weigh in on how social media companies should go about moderating that type of content.

Gosar has no filter. He is an ineffective lawmaker like AOC and MTG. All he does is do stupid shit like this for click bait.

"I don't want to go any further than that. I leave it to the social media platform on how they're gonna move forward on that. But there is no place for any type of violence or that type of language in the political system and it should not be happening and we should be condemning it," she said at a White House press briefing.

Gosar, a Republican congressman from Arizona, voted against certifying the election for Biden, and has said that crazy woman from San Diego, who was shot at the capitol on January 6 had been "executed" and that "(t)he Capitol Police officer that did that shooting appeared to be hiding, lying in wait and then gave no warning before killing her."

Several law enforcement agencies including the Justice Department have cleared that officer of any wrong doing in the shooting.

The lawmaker is ineffective. He has no accomplishments in the House of Representatives.

All he has on his accomplishment record is being an internet troll.

When the bipartisan infrastructure bill was passed in the House of Representatives, it was applauded by Democrats. President Joe Biden finally can get some good news. The bill was almost tanked. It took pressure from the Congressional Black Caucus to force House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) to abandon the add on rider to finally pass the original bill. The Progressive Caucus had stalled the passage of the bill because they wanted the reconciliation package added to the bill. A bill that was going nowhere with two Democratic Karens in the Senate. The bipartisan was passed by the Senate in September finally got through the House on a majority Democratic Party vote. There were 13 Republican lawmakers who broke rank to support the bill.

What frustrated the Democrats was the six members who did not vote for the package.

Now they are targets for a fierce primary come 2022.

Yeah, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY), Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) voted with the Karens in opposition of a bipartisan infrastructure law that would replace lead pipes, provide fixing of our nation's roads, bridges and ports as well as providing broadband to rural communities.

Their no vote earned praise from Washed Up 45 and Ocasio-Cortez rival, Rep. Idiot Karen Greene (R-GA). The Georgia lawmaker like Ocasio-Cortez is an ineffective lawmaker in the House. All she does is troll on the internet and start shit for click bait. 

The lawmaker praised the Squad but demolishes the Republican lawmakers who cross the party line to vote for infrastructure.

“Here are the ‘Republicans’ that just voted to help Biden screw America,” Greene tweeted, along with a photo listing the 13 GOP lawmakers who voted for the bill.

“But 6 Democrats did more than these 13 traitor Republicans to stop Biden’s fake Infrastructure bill by voting NO,” she continued. “They have more balls than these R’s.”

Some of the members had to defend their actions. Ocasio-Cortez, Tlaib, Bush, Omar and Bowman had shared their thoughts on why they didn't vote for the bipartisan bill.

Some of them were hit by progressives and moderates for not reading the bill or deliberately trying to sabotage the bill for some stupid white leftist proposals.

It infuriates me that Black voters, moderates, Republicans who hate Washed Up 45 and mainstream Democrats voted for Joe Biden. They didn't vote for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) or Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA). They did not vote for divisive politics when they voted for Biden.

The so-called Twitter Caucus are the lawmakers who are on social media or television far more than actual lawmakers like Rep. Lauren Underwood (D-IL), Rep. Lucy McBath (D-GA), Rep. Shontel Brown (D-OH), Rep. Antonio Delgado (D-NY), Rep. Richie Torres (D-NY), Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), Rep. Cheri Bustos (D-IL), Rep. Sherice Davids (D-KS) and Rep. Gwen Moore (D-WI).

These lawmakers had more impact on passing the infrastructure bill than Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), House Speaker and the Squad. Pelosi was going to allow these six Democrats sink a bill and hurt their chances in the midterms.

Regardless the midterms are the pivotal test for Democrats in swing districts. With redistricting, the Democrats in purple states and swing districts could be defeated due to redistricting, Republican state laws restricting voting rights and many obstacles that could put Washed Up 45 back in office if he decides to run again.

The Squad has done more damage to the party by sloganning. Listening to Sanders is not productive to the Democratic Party. He's not even a registered Democrat. He is an independent who caucuses with the Democrats. Sanders, Sen. Karen Manchin (D-WV) and Sen. Karen Sinema (D-AZ) are the problems within the senate. They are causing unnecessary tension between the party and Biden. Their failure to get things done during the summer cost them the Virginia race and it will be felt going into 2022.

The Squad resides in safe Democratic districts. It would take a candidate who follows their moves and finds the time to say, "Hey, what has one of these members of the Squad did for your district?"

As of today, I support anyone who is willing to defeat Ocasio-Cortez, Tlaib, Pressley, Omar, Bush and Bowman in the Democratic primaries. Who ever challenge them will have my full support!
