There are plenty of Palm Trees in Chicago! Michigan Ave has thousands!

Everything this administration says is a lie.

Trump and the White House have been accused of lying to the American public after being caught passing off old clips of ICE raids in Florida in a video about “chaos” in Chicago.

Shout out to Alan Beal, who is handling everything so well. He just posted on the other place to Enrique Tarrio to find out who runs this account and threaten someone else.

You know... the leader of the proud boys.

On his pretend lawyer account.

Go fuck yourself Beal.

This is truly horrifying.

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach…with Antifa."

This is the beginning of them changing the definition of the word “war” so they can attack citizens without repercussions.

Protests are not war.
Accountability is not war.
Disagreeing is not war.

Expression will soon be war.

And that will be the beginning of the erasure of the first amendment.

TRUMP: You mean anti-terror?

TRUMP: Would you like to see it done? I'd be glad to do it. Does everybody agree? It sounds good to me

also the guy who says he killed Osama bin Laden. very illustrious career!

Fox News has faced ridicule online for repeatedly interviewing masked "guests" - supposedly a "former Antifa member," an "ex-gang member, and others - who all appear to have the same build, eyes, and voice, leading viewers to suspect it's the same man each time.
Internet sleuths recently compared screenshots and suggested the mystery guest resembles Robert J. O'Neill, the former Navy SEAL who claims to have fired the kill shot on Osama bin Laden.
O'Neill, who's been a frequent Fox News contributor and commentator for years, has a long history of appearances on the network. The recurring use of masked figures resembling him has sparked fresh criticism of Fox's credibility and its penchant for sensational, poorly vetted segments.

Our authoritarianism is run on clichés borrowed from the Eastern Europe of twenty years ago. Paid protestors, disloyal cities, evil Soros, vast conspiracies — it was all tiresome then and there, and now it’s pathetic.

Trump: "They're, like, insurrectionists, they're terrible people. But you really wonder why. Why are they doing it? What are they gaining? Other than they're obviously paid. They're paid a lot of money."
