No, Merrick Garland was not a member of the Federalist Society; in fact, he is known for his judicial philosophy and career as a prosecutor and judge, which often contrasts with the conservative legal principles typically associated with the Federalist Society. STOP.

Clearly he's sick (mental and physical) but I don't get the posting of old photos and videos to say look, I'm fine. It's also clear that he's not posting on truth, someone else is but are not keeping up with the topics for the moment - his team does not know how to handle what's happening

The article is OK. There is not enough information on what will happen as the current weakens. "It's catastrophic" does not wake people up, it's too general. There needs to be more about how and where food supplies are going to collapse, what it means for YOU now and in the next few years. 🀷
