“With your patient and rigorous work, you can act as a barrier against those who, through the ancient art of lying, seek to create divisions in order to rule by dividing,” he said. “You can be a bulwark of civility against the quicksand of approximation and post-truth...”

from Thursday’s post, on the batshit White House ‘anti-antifa’ roundtable that featured Donny Convict, ICE Barbie, and a fetid fucktangle of MAGA halfwits and hangers-on.
you can read the whole thing in all its glory here: bit.ly/4mSP3Ol

Chris Wray — who had been appointed FBI director by Donny — had it exactly right. antifa isn’t an organization. it’s a belief — that fascism is bad.

pro tip: if you’re against the idea of antifascism, you’re on the wrong fucking side.

this is something that Pizzagate Jack and his buddies don’t seem to realize.
fast forward to today. Chris Wray is gone, replaced by Krazee-Eyes Kash. Donny no longer has adults in the room.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.
