Last night’s sunset over New York looked absolutely unreal — a fiery glow pouring through one massive cloud and casting radiant beams across the entire skyline. 🌇🔥

Happy Tuesday! We had an amazing sky this morning 15 minutes before the sun came up before everything quickly dissipated into gray. It was a tough choice in coffee shop voting but this one took it. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!

If those “legal scholars” were so “great,” wouldn’t they first say that the lawmakers in the video covered themselves by not mentioning Trump’s name?
And if Trump dismisses that as a technicality, isn’t including the word “peacefully” in an otherwise violence- inciting speech also a technicality?
