Russia's stock market is crashing. Insiders know more than the public at this moment how bad things are getting in Russia.

I stole it without text. Had it for a while before adding text yesterday. It might appear in other textual incarnations. 😉

Those are three people in inflatable frog suits.

@MrAndyNgo
Now that the local and national press have started to cover the Portland ICE area round-the-clock in reaction to the President, Antifa have devised a plan where they are encouraging one another to come in animal costumes.

The costumes serve the function of masking the violent extremism to make the direct action appear like a family-friendly gathering on camera, and to whitewash the past ultraviolence.

In 2019, Antifa devised a similar plot by giving out free "milkshakes" at a protest. But they couldn't contain their bloodthirst and nearly killed me when they saw me. In 2020, they mobilized a fake "Wall of Moms" where female Antifa supporters and members wore yellow shirts to act as human body shields while violent rioters behind them hurled projectile weapons.

It's a horrific situation in Chicago. It could only get worse if unicorns and twerking T-rexes show up. Not to mention the absolutely most terrifying thing...

"War-Ravaged-Chicago™ on the brink of collapse as people are forced to eat hot dogs with ketchup on it."

Not my words but JB Pritzker's.

Could the National Guard help by eating up all those horrible hot dogs? (No idea, but it's mine.)

“I’m worried about my community… I’m out here in a frog costume to show how ridiculous the notion that we’re violent terrorists is, and showcase how that narrative is wrong…”

Serious Q: is it too late to give this dude the Nobel Peace Prize? 🐸 🏆
