He doesn’t care. He cares about the midterms in the context of limiting his power, but he’s already won.

He won when he convinced the idiots of this country to put him in the WH instead of prison.

Now he’s a mad king with no guardrails and we will all pay.

Sarah Beckstrom's ex-boyfriend told NBC News she dreamed of becoming an FBI special agent.

She didn't want to deploy to D.C.

"She hated it. She cried about it."

But she started visiting monuments and museums and started enjoying it.

May she rest in peace.

I long for the days when I could think of this statement as hyperbole with a dash of conspiracy theory... but alas, this timeline forces me to consider this as a distinct and the most likely possibility.

It's definitely odd that if you really wanna kill a Nation Guardsman, or anyone in the military, there are places where they're being deployed that are a hell of a lot closer to where he lives, like LA or Portland, than going 1000s of miles away to do the same thing. That kind of doesn't make sense.
