Once the news showed the attempt at breaching the Speaker’s suite of offices, I began to think of the riots in Los Angeles when I was a police officer. Back then, I was closer to Nately’s age, but had a dual perspective between Nately’s and the old man’s. Not only was it my job to keep the peace, but I was also a young Black man.

Quite a few people are questioning whether the continued refusal of the Republican party to accept the results of the recent election might not constitute sedition.

Well, that’s how most people are reading it but, strictly speaking, that’s not what the Times reported. They reported that he paid $318,672 in taxes in 2017.
That’s a pretty big difference. Why isn’t Trump calling anyone on this? Why isn’t he talking about the other $317.922?
