This rather succinctly sums up the current reality in the USA. Fascists will always gaslight, because objective truth is irrelevant to their ideology - only force matters.

The United States military aimed missiles at a boat in foreign waters and ended the lives of 11 people whose only proven "crime" was being Venezuelan at the wrong time in history. Then they proudly published the massacre like it was a promo video, so keep that in mind when you're watching the news.

Ahh yes, such an efficient use of federal funds - spending triple what my family spends on a car every 10+ years for a vehicle for "recruitment purposes". "Fiscal conservatism" is a bad joke; this administration is spending money like a drunk E1 off the farm for the first time.
Ford Mustangs chosen by White House to boost ICE agent recruitment
As part of a hiring spree to add immigration control officers, ICE bought a couple new Mustang GTs to entice recruits to an otherwise daunting job.

I want to congratulate leading Democrats’ for their insistence on saying the takeover of DC is a “stunt” or a “distraction.”
It’s a rare trifecta of intellectual failure, political stupidity, and moral obtuseness.

A terrorist targeted federal workers last week. There wasn’t much reporting on it. But I’m not finished thinking about it! 🧵
An anti-vaxxer fired more than 500 gunshots into CDC Atlanta, shattering 150 “blast-proof” windows on 6 buildings. Employees were pinned down in terror.
