Republicans feel empowered by their leader's autocratic coup against the Constitution to pursue their most cartoonishly evil agenda items, like literally making it easier to kill seals and whales

Per CDC source: At internal leadership meeting this afternoon, it was shared that 1,257 people were RIF'd at CDC. Number may not be final. Apparently, chief of staff was unaware that RIFs were going to occur so not clear who is making decisions. (Short π§΅)

Antifa is an organization that emerged with the βGerman Communist Antifaschistische Aktionβ movement in the 1930βs. German Communists smeared anyone to their right as "fascists,β a common ploy used by the ignorant hysterical activists of the Democrat Party today. Like todayβs leftist loonies, the German Antifa of the Weimar years even labeled the leftwing SDP as "social fascists." Todayβs Antifa are a paramilitary mob used by the usual suspects to foment fake βmass protestsβ and burn down cities. The same puppet masters of the Democrat activist judges ruining America today also fund these βuseful idiotsβ of Antifa to impede the mandate given to the current President in his landslide last election victory.
Hey, what was happening in Germany in the 1930s? I forget.
