They are just laughing at us now as they load up.

They WANT a civil war.

Liberty on it is what they always do to make their schemes sound patriotic and legit.

This is exactly what bothers me. Saying you’re going to “restore integrity” is designed to make people think the previous Dominion system was corrupt—and it wasn’t. They’re planning on “fixing” something which isn’t broke. Which is code for “We’re going to break it.”

And slapping the name

And this just gives blue states one more potential reason to secede. If we can’t even trust the vote counting, there is totally no point in blue states staying in the union.

And don’t tell me it can’t be/never has been done. The Founding Fathers found a way, and so can we.

So for No Kings next week, let’s all show up in Halloween costumes. “crazy fan” sports regalia, or some sort of cosplay.

He’s transparent, all right. We can see right through him.

Thomas Veil @thomasveil.bsky.social · 2d

HE’S had it?!

Abso-fucking-lutely delusional.

(PS Mike: it’s not a hate America rally. You’re probably thinking of MAGA.)

My favorite moment in the movie, and the kind of spirit we need now.

I remember that episode…and its message that you can catch the devil, but you can’t hold him for long.

What is the endgame of these utterly lawless #ICE Gestapo actions? It is to set up a culture of fear IN US CITIZENS eligible to vote. It is also the same destabilization tactics that military intelligence officials like #MikeFlynn wrote about & used in Iraq, Afghanistan & other target populations.

Love the analogy!

Viddy well, Trump. Viddy well.

Absolutely shameless. He’s a sick, sick man.

Thomas Veil @thomasveil.bsky.social · 2d

OMG I knew he was gonna have a problem with this!

The obvious answer which escapes him is that you can’t wage war on your OWN people and expect a Nobel Peace Prize.

He’s gonna expect one now for an agreement in the Middle East, but it’s too late —he’s already a villain in his own country.

Lots of weekly comments and discussion online about Alien: Earth. It’s more fun that way!

Okay, NOW I get why there are Amazon drop boxes in certain areas. I guess if you have one, that means there’s theft in the area.

Doesn’t help with things like big screen TVs though.

So her answers are basically:

None of your business.

and

Because we said do.

Thomas Veil @thomasveil.bsky.social · 5d

Wow. That is just MAJOR obfuscation and non-compliance. I mean, just look at the delay between the question and so-called answer. You could almost hear her mind racing for a way to say something without perjuring herself.

Why is this even a question?

“I want this country to realize that we stand on the edge of oblivion. I want every man, woman and child to understand how close we are to chaos. I want everyone to remember WHY THEY NEED US!” —Chancellor Adam Sutler, V for Vendetta…but doesn’t the rationale sound just like Donald Trump?
