I need all of you who are reading this post to call your parents, aunts, uncles, wacky neighbors, starchy old men at the hardware store and anyone else you can and explain to them how batshit crazy it is that they are making up a fake enemy with a straight face.

This is all just...make believe.

Good Christ, man. From the loaded MAGA-coded question to his completely rotted brain grapes, this is the biggest practical joke in history. Right? RIGHT?

Obed Vargas' path from distant Alaska to world-class midfield prospect is even more amazing than it sounds:

People shouldn't study rip off degrees like English, all you do is get to explore the towering beauty of the human spirit, how is that going help you slog away at a job you hate, working for vicious idiots until you die?

I just want to ask the supporters of this fascist regime, “then what?”

Deport the brown people. Then what?

Subjugate women. Then what?

Lock up democrats. Then what?

Kill drug traffickers. Then what?

Lock the borders. Then what?

Destroy higher education. Then what?

Cripple the arts. Then what?

If paying a livable wage will kill a business, it isn’t a viable business.

If the only way for a technology to be profitable is to steal billions of dollars worth of content, the technology is not viable.

AI is not necessary.

Trump is not Putin’s puppet.

He may have once been.

But now he wants to BE Putin.

The game has changed.

The fact that they are all acting as if they are sure there will never be consequences for their actions should terrify you.

I know people are sort of joking about Detroit needing a roof, but the truth is that if you are building a stadium from here forward and you aren't considering climate control of some type, you are setting yourself up for a lot of cancellations and postponements in the future. #climatechange

He's doing it because he's being told to do it. He is not in control of this. He's merely the idiot frontman they needed.

Hostile powers funded Epstein, who lured the rich and powerful with illicit sex with children, drugs, and who knows what else. He captured it all on tape.

And it brought down US democracy.

That's the story, folks.

It's in full swing. It's in fast-forward. It's going to get bad very fast.

Be ready. Have a safety plan for your family. Assume your cell phone won't work. Assume your utilities won't work. Assume your bank will be inaccessible.

Make a plan. Because they are going to torture us into compliance.

I strongly believe that, for a lot of reasons*, the plan was to slow walk the whole Martial Law thing in time for the Presidential elections.

Then they saw how unpopular they are and how bad they are at governance, and they told Stephen Miller to step on the gas.

*e.g. World Cup and Olympics

Someone - anyone - ask her what ANTIFA means and then ask her why the President would be so intent on hunting down anti-fascists instead of supporting them.

Leavitt: "The financial backing of these groups, particularly Antifa, is certainly something the administration is looking into aggressively ... we're kinda kickstarting that into gear. The FBI is working on it alongside the White House's homeland security task force."
