Good luck trying to roll back time, pal, the clock is ticking on your regime.

This is how scapegoating, othering, demagoguery works for fascist regimes.

They invent some vague tag like "Antifa" or use some existing moniker like "Democrat" as a pejorative and then stick to anything they want to attack.

Man, if they are clutching their pearls over this, they should see the videos of ICE kidnapping and trafficking children.

The Biden FBI... J6 happened under Trump. At his own direction. Biden was not even sworn in, yet.

These are agents who were sent AFTER the violent insurrection was well underway. Kash Patel issued a statement that said that after a fringe right wing outlet reported it falsely. But Trump chooses to run with the lie from them rather than the statement from his FBI Director.

Too late, buddy, you pardoned them all.

wookieetaint.bsky.social @wookieetaint.bsky.social · 24m

I don't know if Trump is going to get his military coup by trying to deploy American soldiers against American citizens and then not paying them.

Being a real estate swindler getting. Away with stiffing contractors all those years, he might think otherwise.

Or, personally motivated after he and his family were abused by UHC, where this guy was personally incentivized to deny care (they have highest denial-of-care-for-profit rates, granted, text book case for ACA).

Meanwhile there was a literal political assassination in MN, not being charged as such.

One of the reasons it will get thrown out. And he'll still take a victory lap and then dox the judges.

So deep in the shadow of the $500M he owed in the case she won against him.

Now deemed excessive. After he ignored it until interest and fines inflated it.

We could look through a stack of POTUS health reports and see how obvious it is which one writes his own.

wookieetaint.bsky.social @wookieetaint.bsky.social · 21h

Also his tariffs. So Trump is hurting farmers. Farmers are important to America.

Ergo, Trump admits he is hurting America.

Hi, I’d like to order a custom hoodie in a camo pattern of Christmas colors and then I’d like a big Punisher skull with Trump hair sticking out from under a Santa hat. And this is VERY IMPORTANT, on the arm I want a patch that says K$H and “FIGHT WITH KASH” underneath. My name is Kash. Yes I’ll hold

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

Can we call it a murder? Assassination lends credence to the false narrative that this was an act of terrorism.

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress over two weeks ago, but Mike Johnson still hasn't sworn her in.

Why the delay?

Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.
