Well done!
A tweet by Gramps says “RELEASE THE FILES!” with a photo showing a projection on a wall of several people edited into a parody movie poster titled “Guardians of Pedophiles,” referencing “Guardians of the Galaxy.” A car is passing by the projection on the street.

No wonder MAGA people are obsessed with paedophiles - they're surrounded by them in the guise of holy people. This one was Trump's "spiritual advisor". That says it all.

Trump to generals: "America is under invasion from within. We're under invasion from within. No different than a foreign enemy, but more difficult in any ways because they don't wear uniforms. At least when they're wearing a uniform you can take them out."

"We’re thinking about making it larger because we have so many people." Are these the words of a sane, rational person? Trump on the military. He can't even form sentences that make any sense. He makes George W Bush sound super intelligent.

Kristi Noem baited law enforcement officers to react to the incident with Alex Padilla. This is what she said minutes before the incident "If you assault a law enforcement officer, we are going to come after you and we are going to arrest you, prosecute you and put you away". SHAMEFUL!!!

There's one moment in this that sums it all up. He produces a doctored photo and says "why can't you just say yes?". Yes, we believe your lies? Yes, we accept your lies? Yes, we share your faith? Unfortunately there IS such a thing as objective truth. Gravity!
