Brett Meiselas: Trump sending the National Guard into LA wasn’t about immigration or riots. Into DC wasn’t about crime. Attacks on Harvard weren’t about anti-Semitism. This is all about capturing our government, culture, and society. An authoritarian power grab. Wake the f— up.

One of the things I remind our community of during Coffee With Texas Paul regarding the impending economic crash is to look for the red flags to get a sense of timing and severity. On that note, animal shelter populations are exploding. A very sad red flag indeed. Happens every crash.

BREAKING: The DOJ has fired Maurene Comey, daughter of former FBI Director James Comey, from the Manhattan U.S. Attorney’s Office.
She spent nearly a decade there and prosecuted Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
Totally normal timing. Nothing suspicious at all…

So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street

Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors.
It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.
