The president of Columbia asked the police to come in. The police gave protesters a way to leave, showed restraint, didn't use tear gas, and worked as best they could to de-escalate the situation. Unlike many protests in history, this one didn't end in tragedy.

Republicans:

-want lower taxes
-want more Americans to have children (worried about the declining birth rate)
-decry inflation daily
-claim to be for the American family

And then did the exact same coverage of Biden; everything he did as President,

We need to stop treating former Trump supporters/staff finally speaking out against Trump as some kind of rebirth that absolves them of their past wrongdoings.

There is so much outrage over Bill Barr admitting everything Trump did only to then say he will vote for Trump in

Usually politicians write a book to help build their careers.

Kristi Noem wrote a book to destroy hers.
