Their closing message to Indiana: change your maps to artificially benefit the President's political party or 'roads will not be paved' as punishment.

They are openly saying this.

Who would want to live in a country that works like that?

Straight up McCarthyism/Salem stuff coming from the same people that call everything against Trump “a witch hunt”

Every accusation (ie “ANTIFA are domestic terrorists”) is a confession (“we are the actual domestic terrorists”)

It’s a blatantly-obvious tactic… yet it keeps working

So… this unverified document from a University mentions courses in “Microeeonomics” and “Managenial Finance”…?

Y’know, spotting AI fakes is going to be a very important skill for the foreseeable future

ICYMI — “I identified myself as a U.S. citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. ICE Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out… this experience violated the very principles I fought to defend.”

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and moral, then it’s not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power. - Dwight Eisenhower

SCOTUS knows this.

Every move they make is to insure Republican dominance for the foreseeable future, because a Dem administration will greatly dilute their individual power…and that is all they care about (at least 6 of em, anyway)

It’s plain as day: SCOTUS is fully compromised

This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.

Seriously, I thought folks were supposed to hate Paramount over the Colbert thing.

We can’t hate EVERYthing, people.

It would be easier to deal with if we weren’t so weak as to let some WR diva-distraction disrupt the entire offense.

AJ’s refusal to pass the alpha-WR torch might just derail the whole Philly season

Last 3 games:

AJ Brown - 24 rec, 342 yd, 3 TD

Eagles - 0-3

Maybe force-feeding the ball to a whining WR is not the best recipe for winning?

Becoming a U.S. citizen takes years and involves immigrants acquiring a green card, extensive interviews, background checks, classes and a citizenship test. The naturalization ceremony is the final step to the process, where the oath of allegiance and a citizenship certificate are granted.
Immigrants approved to be naturalized went to Faneuil Hall Thursday - known as the country's cradle of liberty - for that long-awaited moment to pledge allegiance to the United States. But instead, as they lined up, some were told by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services officials that they couldn't proceed due to their countries of origin.

The seditious-6 know that:

A) If Republicans lose power, SCOTUS will likely be reformed, and

B) even if SCOTUS judges never face repercussions for their crimes, their individual power will be whittled down

…and that matters much more to the seditious-6 than US Democracy or the Constitution

A few years ago, Bill Nye the science guy debated creationist Ken Ham about evolution. The last question was "what would change your mind?"

Bill Nye said "Evidence."

Ken Ham said "Nothing can possibly change my mind about this."

I think about that a lot.
