"We're debating a step that has never been taken in American history" to overrule the voters, says @senatemajldr. "This will be the most important vote I've ever cast."

"Nothing before us proves illegality anywhere near the massive scale...that would have tipped the entire election," says @senatemajldr.
"We cannot declare ourselves a national board of elections on steroids," adds @senatemajldr. Overruling states and courts would damage the republic forever.
Democracy "would enter a death spiral" and "every four years would be a scramble for power at any cost," says @senatemajldr.
"We cannot keep drifting apart into two separate tribes with a separate set of facts and separate realities," adds @senatemajldr.
"We must not imitate and escalate what we repudiate," says @senatemajldr addressing his fellow senators after objection to #Arizona electoral vote count.
"It would be unfair and wrong to disenfranchise the voters and overrule the courts and states," states @senatemajldr.
"I will not pretend such a vote will be a harmless protest gesture."
"The Congress does not determine the outcome of elections, the people do," says @SenSchumer. "The American people elected Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to be the next president and vice president of the United States."
"It is a very sad comment on our times that merely accepting the results of an election is considered an act of political courage," says @SenSchumer, referring to "an attempted coup."
The eyes of the world are on this chamber to see if the United States is still a shining example of democracy, adds @SenSchumer. "What messages will we send to those countries where democratic values are under assault?"

Covid recovery money is going to the oligarchy.

Ottawa and the provinces have put very little on the table to help clean-tech companies directly during Covid 19 while targeting fossil-fuel producers with more than $16 billion in aid.

Coast to coast people have demanded treaties be honored. We demanded climate action, divestment and land back but Canada is not listening. This video shows 10 years of rallies in Waterloo Ontario. City & regional council declared a climate emergency. 🚨

The Bank of China (BOC), SNC-Lavalin and WE Charity were recipients of taxpayer-funded the Covid 19 Canadian Emergency Wage Subsidy (CEWS)
I don't normally do threads like this but I did want to provide some deeper thoughts on the below and why having a video game based on a real world war crime from the same people that received CIA funding isn't the best idea.

This will go pretty in depth FYI.


The core reason why I'm doing this thread is because:

1. It's clear the developers are marketing the game a certain way.

2. This is based on something that actually happened, a war crime no less. I don't have issues with shooter games in general ofc.

Firstly, It's important to acknowledge that the Iraq war was an illegal war, based on lies, a desire for regime change and control of resources in the region.

These were lies that people believed and still believe to this day.

It's also important to mention that the action taken by these aggressors is the reason there was a battle in Fallujah in the first place. People became resistance fighters because they were left with nothing but death and destruction all around them after the illegal invasion.

This is where one of the first red flags comes up.

The game is very much from an American point of view, as shown in the description.

When it mentions Iraqi civilians, it doesn't talk about them as victims, but mentions them as being pro US, fighting alongside them.
