This #Jan6 plaque was made to honor law enforcement. It's nowhere to be found at the #Capitol

The official plaque honoring the #police who defended #democracy that day is nowhere to be found.

It’s not on display at the Capitol, as is required by #law. Its whereabouts aren’t publicly known, though it’s believed to be in storage.

&, in particular, police officers who were brutalized by Trump’s army of deluded followers—these days can seem infernal. Trump’s term is one-quarter over; a piece of advice often attributed to Churchill has it best: When you’re going through hell, keep going.

Obama, a model of dignified presidential behavior (just like *nearly* all of his predecessors, Democratic & Republican), understood viscerally the importance of self-restraint & adherence to long-established norms. Which is why he was so troubled by #Trump’s decadent performance. “You can stand in front of tens of thousands of teenage boys & encourage them to be good citizens & be helpful to their mothers,” Obama said, “or you can go Lord of the Flies. He went Lord of the Flies.”

We are in a long Lord of the Flies moment, led by a man who, to borrow from Psalm 10, possesses a mouth “full of cursing & deceit & fraud.” For many people—government scientists seeking cures for diseases; FBI agents investigating corruption & terrorism; military leaders trying to preserve respect for the rules of warfare;

Military action against a sovereign state is illegal under the UN charter. There are two exceptions: self-defense, and UN Security Council approval.

Heads of state have personal immunity while in office from prosecution in foreign courts.

This attack is a serious breakdown of international norms.

UPDATE: edgelord replies not welcome, thanks.

Yes.

February 29, 2004: the US kidnapped Aristide and his family and flew them to the Central African Republic.

Canada's #jtf2 special forces held the airport.

Capture de Nicolas #Maduro : Donald #Trump affirme que les #Etats-Unis #US "dirigeront" le #Venezuela en attendant une transition "sûre" avec quelqu'un qui pense comme nous

Il d'agit donc bien d'un #coup d' #état #militaire , et pas d'un #kidnapping de 2 #narcos

"This morning we learned that the felonious Trump has—without Congressional approval—illegally attacked Venezuela and captured and flown out of the country its president, Nicolás Maduro, and his wife, Cilia Flores."

"Less than three days ago, Congress released Special Counsel Jack Smith’s powerful testimony insisting he had obtained the evidence to prove 'beyond a reasonable doubt' that Donald Trump 'engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 election and to prevent the lawful transfer of power.'”
