      It’s so effective, too! I completely forgot about The Trump-Epstein files!

    Those are about to be the highest-paid and most poorly-trained cops in the country.

      I feared that. I was too caught in my surreal feeling reading the headline. I’d cross post but there’s a lot of comments here. I would understand a thread lock however.

    He’s seized the country’s capital.

    Seriously? Us citizens just shrug. Americans deserve all they get.

    Live free or die, my ass!

      They appear to have collectively picked option B?

      It’s just going to take a little while.

      Sure, storm the Capitol against the greatest fighting force the world has ever seen! Your 9mm and 12 gauge shotgun will surely make a dent and you won’t just die for the 9pm news cycle.

      Stay alive till an organized resistance is formed. Sure it might be awhile, but you won’t die and be forgotten in 6 hours when something else pops.

    Hes cleansing the streets so when leaders come to his stupid new ballroom, they won’t see the realities of life in DC. Also see what Beijing and Paris did during the Olympics.
