So, I had to basically beg for a covid vaccine at my doctor's office today, even though I'm asthmatic and live with 3 little asthmatics. And I STILL might need to pay $460 out of pocket if insurance refuses, which they love to do. Flu was covered.

Fuck you; try to take them back now, assholes!!

Jack Posobiec speaks at the "Antifa Roundtable" and immediately references the Weimar Republic. He's a nazi.

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, President Trump, with Antifa."

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

For anyone playing this real life game of Second Civil War Risk at home, the California Attorney General mentioned in a federal court filing today that federalized members of the state's National Guard are in Chicago alongside Texas Guard members.

This is the President not only purporting to arrogate unto himself the ability to “take away free speech rights,” but also to do so for speech because it “aggravates and irritates.”

The bottom line is these people running our country are literally foreigners to the concept of democracy.

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."
