The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!!

Keep sharing these videos; it’s evidence.

If you think Tylenol is bad for children, wait until you find out about guns.

"Hey fellow kids! Heard any natural sounding 20-something dialogue lately?"
Image of Steve Buscemi from 30 Rock saying "How do you do fellow kids?" next to supposed texts from Tyler Robinson and his roomate that reads very unnaturally as follows: Robinson: I am still ok my love, but am stuck in orem for a little while longer yet. Shouldn't be long until I can come home, but I gotta grab my rifle still. To be honest I had hoped to keep this secret till I died of old age. I am sorry to involve you. Roommate: you weren't the one who did it right???? Robinson: I am, I'm sorry Roommate: I thought they caught the person? Robinson: no, they grabbed some crazy old dude, then interrogated someone in similar clothing. I had planned to grab my rifle from my drop point shortly after, but most of that side of town got locked down. Its quiet, almost enough to get out, but theres one vehicle lingering. Roommate: Why? Robinson: Why did I do it? Roommate: Yeah Robinson: I had enough of his hatred. Some hate can't be negotiated out. If I am able to grab my rifle unseen, I will have left no evidence. Going to attempt to retrieve it again, hopefully they have moved on. I haven't seen anything about them finding it. ... Roommate: How long have you been planning this? Robinson: a bit over a week I believe. I can get close to it but there is a squad car parked right by it. I think they already swept that spot, but I don't wanna chance it ... Robinson: I'm wishing I had circled back and grabbed it as soon as I got to my vehicle. ... I'm worried what my old man would do if I didn't bring back grandpas rifle ... idek if it had a serial number, but it wouldn't trace to me. I worry about prints I had to leave it in a bush where I changed outfits. didn't have the ability or time to bring it with. ... I might have to abandon it and hope they don't find prints. how the fuck will I explain losing it to my old man. ... only thing I left was the rifle wrapped in a towel. ... remember how I was engraving bullets? The fuckin messages are mostly a big meme, if I see "notices …

If He’s Talking, He’s Lying!

JD Vance: "It is a statistical fact that most of the lunatics in American politics today are proud members of the far-left." 🙄 The ADL reports that FAR-RIGHT extremists committed 75% of extremist murders. FBI backs it up. THAT is the statistical fact.

As expected, Charlie Kirk's killer, Tyler Robinson, was a black trans muslim Democrat... oh, hang on... sorry - he was the son of white Christian Republican parents in Utah and was taught to use guns from an early age. What a fucking surprise.

Let’s be absolutely clear. This decision, based on fringe conspiracy theories, will kill children.

Sometimes FB Marketplace knows what you need before you do. Do I have the money or space? No. But maybe this is one of those "once in a lifetime investment opportunities" I'm always hearing about🤔 #dinosaurs #jurassiclivingroom

Feeling a little more hopeful today, but it's a long road ahead. Sad to see the NDP lose so much ground. Canada strong. #neverpoilievre
