Something weird just happened on the live feed. Could be nothing, but I captured and uploaded it so you could see. Biden's car, escorted by USSS, suddenly not, and then escorted again. That shouldn't happen on a live feed.

B&J dedication flavor to our Country..."Rocky Road" and I'm already sick of this 💩

Biden's rabbi gave him a blessing before he stepped out to the inaugural stage, calling him akin to Moses leading America out of Egypt.🤦🙄
I thought he was Catholic.
The benediction I gave President Biden before his inauguration

Don’t know how you can be rallying against the deepstate and see it any other way. Snowden was a patriot. Trunk was an actor put in place to divide and conquer the populace and to further the agenda of one world government. Ppl in this thread were so into it they were begging for martial law.

I'm amazed by the sheer passion people display over a pardon for Snowden and Assange. It's like they have their photos over the bed, and look at them every night before retiring.
LOL seriously. At the end of the day - regardless of their places in pop culture - these 2 dudes broke the law. Snowden especially and egregiously. Eddy Boy can spend the rest of his days in the Moscow suburbs.
Assange I actually believe deserves to be free, but Snowden is another story.
Couldn't disagree more. I did a thread on it.

Quoting my OP:
Time to do my civic duty. Ed Snowden is a hero, not a traitor. To put it as simply as possible, he blew the whistle on enemies of the constitution. Every soldier takes an oath to support and defend the US Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. This means that we have a duty to refuse unlawful orders, and to work against superiors issuing those unlawful orders. It is a serious crime to follow unlawful orders under the Uniform Code Of Military Justice(UCMJ). The UCMJ requires that a soldier refuse to follow unlawful orders. What's a good soldier to do then, when given orders that he knows are unconstitutional? Quite simply, refuse to follow them. Work against the agents issuing those orders, or relieve them, if necessary.
This is the prime reason I can't fault Snowden for his actions. Frankly, it's upsetting to me to see people here and elsewhere on the web and in the news calling for his imprisonment, execution, or assassination. Those of you engaging in this sort of behavior are the real traitors, in my opinion. You'd flush our rights down the toilet for the temporary fleeting illusion of increased security? You ought to be ashamed of yourselves. Calling this man a traitor for doing the right thing is pitiful and disgusting in my opinion. He compromised no human assets during his disclosures, though he was certainly in a position to do so. He hasn't sold the information he departed with, though he was certainly in a position to do so. He has compromised his anonymity in order to give voice to the cause of liberty, which was a major sacrifice on his part.
I think his actions are brave and admirable. I don't know the guy, but if he'd gotten into my cab and told me what he was up against, I would have given him a pep talk. What he has done is the right thing to do. It is what a true patriot should do, in my opinion. This man should not be jailed, he should be given a medal and ten million dollars.
Thanks to Ed Snowden we know (at least partially) just how far we've fallen away from the lofty ideals of liberty for which this country is supposed to stand. We know that the metadata and text messages from our cell phones is being collected and stored, courtesy of our government. We know that everything we do online is tracked and recorded, including our private correspondences, courtesy of our government. We know that our government has intimidated thousands of businesses into handing over that data, and threatened them into silence as they are doing it. Of course his revelations have shown that our intelligence agencies have been spying on governments, their citizens, and leaders around the world, though this last revelation probably comes as no surprise to most of us.

T1, I had a re-view of POTUS farewell speech as transmitted by RSBN, and could not see the 5:5 or 5.9 countdown?
Can you confirm which channel it was on and the time in the video please? I would like to see it.
The Douay–Rheims translation was approved for English-speaking Catholics in the 1600s. Unlike Protestant versions, the Catholic Bible is translated from the Latin and includes the books of the Apocrypha, as well as study notes from church authorities.
