A Very Cynical Plan:

1. Lie about Antifa being real & powerful.

2. Lie about nonexistent "riots" in peaceful Democrat cities.

3. Lie that Jan 6 goons playing dress-up as ICE are sent to stop riots when they are going to start them.

Best thing about retirement is waking up and wondering what day it is and then remembering you’re retired and couldn’t give a hoot.

Kidnapped in international waters, extraordinary rendition to a genocidal state, and then imprisoned indefinitely.

You'd think this would trigger the immediate expulsion of the Israeli Ambassador for these inexcusable actions against an Australian citizen.

Another reminder - because far too many people don't seem to know it - this guy tried to *PREVENT* war crimes investigations. The only whistle he tried to blow was his own.

Why some of you held him up as some kind of heroic figure makes my brain bleed.
