The Trumputin plan for the destruction of the USA is humming along just fine...

I can't get over how 1984 doublespeak upside down everything they say is. Can't these "journalists" challenge these nonsense lies better than they do?

Destroy them any way you can. That's how the Germans did it. Eventually though they just ended up killing them.

According to the Wiki thing, Cracker Barrel was created in 1969 by a Shell Oil exec trying to sell more gasoline. Why does maga think it's some precious, historic brand that makes us all warm and fuzzy inside and not to be tinkered with? Microsoft and Apple are nearly as old.

Who puts their crackers in a barrel anyway? Seems inconvenient.

I sure wish Joe Biden would have taken care of this lunatic before January 20. Because as of 7/1/24, he could also do anything he wanted, and sending this man to El Salvador, or Uganda, or GBay easily could in retrospect be seen as defending the Constitution against a domestic enemy.

This is all just fucking Neverland, all the time. Or 1984, or The Handmaid’s Tale, or whatever. It’s all fucked up that someone in a leadership position in the United States says this bizarre nonsense. Someone make it stop. Also, fuck Trump and anyone who voted for him.

Donald Trump says he is going to deploy the National Guard to Chicago. This is what weak men do to pretend they’re strong. Stay safe, stand with your community, and most importantly, know your rights:

The last US Civil War was between people who believed some people were not human, and could therefore be treated inhumanely, and those that believe all are created equal. This US Cold Civil War we are in now, is the similar. It's about inhumanity vs humanity.

I think that makes sense. It's clear Trump is a Russian agent doing Putin's bidding, but I didn't understand that Putin's goal is the destruction of the USA.

What if the subject of the use of nuclear weapons came up between Putin and Trump? That could explain the "ashen" faces and the high-level response from Europe.
