These guys get $50k signing bonuses.

Stephen Miller is telling them they have immunity and encouraging them to create chaos.

“I voted” - be a voter.

RFK jr urges Americans to start their car engines, wrap their mouths around their exhaust pipes, and take several deep lung refreshing inhales twice a day.
