And let your sermon write itself.
Blessed are the poor. Woe to the rich.

When they say they want to outlaw "DEI," they mean they want to eliminate any mention of the existence of non-white people.

To continue to refer to a Gulf of Mexico is a rejection of the hate movement and/or an attempt to push back against the power grab.

To refer to a Gulf of America is to agree to be part of bolstering the hate movement and power grab.

The biggest cage match ever will be between Musk and Trump. Elon will try to implement AI in a manner that automates much of what Trump is now trying to control.

Trump will have no understanding of what is going on and will have to turn to the AI oligarchs to support him in this battle.

Americans don't do history.

More of this, America.

I don't throw around the word "Kapo" lightly. But unless the head of the ADL and everyone who endorsed this apology for Elon's fascist gesture resigns, the name fits and should be used.

every elected Democrat who felt good putting out a statement today calling it a “peaceful transfer of power” should be fucking embarrassed

It’s time for you to sit down old man. You have allowed the Republicans to destroy this country. You are not a leader. You should not be in Congress. You are an abomination and will be remembered as a sick old man who worked with Nazis instead of protecting the population all while lying like a rug.

Like this post if you pooped today. Repost if you shitted

Auto moderation is broke, again, way too much unsolicited dicks!
Tag your photos, people, please! Be sensible!!

Every Republican member of Congress who voted to overturn the election and every member of the Trump administration should have been detained without bail before the sun set on Inauguration Day and held on gag order until their speedy trials were complete. Because they weren’t, here we are now.
