Fat Satan got his COVID booster shot yesterday. If he doesn’t listen to his Trumpshit-crazy HHS Secretary, why should we?

Extinguishing MLK's Eternal Flame is both outrageous and a hell of a metaphor for right now www.wsbtv.com/news/local/a...

Eternal flame at Martin Luther King Jr.’s Atlanta burial site destroyed

Police say the man also urinated in the reflective pool.

By the way ICE in this video is driving a $100k luxury SUV. They’re literally gangsters with a $100 billion dollar budget, which, like any gangster, they have used to buy themselves luxury cars and guns. Pretty soon they’ll start gold-plating their weapons, because why not

One reason Dems should be sharing this and talking about it nonstop is because the key to dominating the public mind is media that evokes emotion. It’s how George Floyd started nationwide protests overnight. And it’s impossible to see this without feeling blind rage. Healthcare policy could never.

They are building a Propaganda State.

They are cooking the books on job creation.

Now they are rigging death numbers so no one knows how many people die because of their attacks on vaccines and science.

I mean for god’s sake this is a scenario where you exchange insurance information. They genuinely think their masks and guns make them untouchable kings of the city. They should be hauled off in cuffs by city police, and prosecuted for half a dozen different offenses!

This is insane. I feel like I’m going insane when I’m watching this. Not just the fact that it’s clearly their fault, but the way a heavily-armed squad of masked thugs immediately jumps into the street and brutalizes the woman they just hit, despite having no idea who she is.

Looks like everyone in my former political party has signed on to the Donald Trump/Stephen Miller game plan, which means calling Democrats “terrorists.” Terrorists? Despicable. Shameful.

Benny Johnson is a well known plagiarist, grifter, & Christian nationalist who was being paid by Russia - to the tune of well over a $100,000 a month - to push Russian propaganda on the American people - the perfect bio for a MAGA influencer. We no longer have a Justice Department.👇
