I'm sure it'll be as much a success as Alaska was. Maybe Trump will give Russia a few billion dollars this time.

🚨WOW. A unanimous per curiam (meaning no named author) panel of the 7th Circuit, made up of a Bush appointee, an Obama appointee, and a Trump appointee, decline to step in and block a lower court order barring the deployment of the National Guard in Chicago!

#BREAKING The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals refuses to undo an order blocking deployment of National Guard troops within Illinois.

"We conclude that the district court's factual findings … were not clearly erroneous, and that the facts do not justify the President's actions in Illinois."

I wonder how nervous the neighbors of these judges are now. How's their fire insurance? 😬💥🔥

Wrong, you soulless fuck. Kids are who Trump had sex with. These were adults making these comments. But I understand why you would come to their defense.

I don't think it's numbness that such people feel, but kinship and collusion. They're not necessarily also pedophiles themselves, but owners of some other nasty skeletons in their closet that they also need to keep under wraps. Circling of the wagons.

Note Argentina's history of sheltering Nazis after WWII.

Sorry. I probably shouldn't be on social media today.

Now send state officials out to arrest ICE and the NG as they commit criminal acts. As they're best described as violent criminals, do expect them to resist.

imo, there's also Saudi royalty in the Epstein list. Can you imagine the fallout if that hit Riyadh?

The only plus that I can see is that hunger might make the public rise up against the Myanmar government, and thus implement steps so they can feed themselves.

Generally you'll find that people are fine having multiple social media accounts, and new accounts can easily be troll/bit accounts. But thanks for your idiocy.

And you know what? With 40 states that support child marriage, and a crew of pedophiles running the show, that might be for the best.

As opposed to rolling on your back like a worthless cunt like you. Folks like you are why the rest of us are probably going to get to watch your country slide into dictatorship before it balkanizes.

Boot-licking trolls. Because peaceful compliance is the best way to deal with violent criminals.

Andrew Lindsey @andrewlindsey.bsky.social · 11h

I think you'll find that what they really want is passive compliance to a fascist coup; and you are a blatant troll promoting that.

Andrew Lindsey @andrewlindsey.bsky.social · 11h

It's high time you guys start dragging, tackling, beating, tasing, and shooting back. You guys know how to deal with violent criminals the rest of the time, but when the criminals have badges, military rank, or were elected, you just seem to turn to helpless jelly.

Yes, for immunizing, so you don't fall sick, and spread it to others.
