Sarcastabitchy resistor in a lonely northern outpost of the void, teetering on the edge of hope and rage. I have multiple degrees and think and post too much: BS is saner than pasting photos/news articles on the wall and connecting the dots with string.

from 2017 (look how far US has come!) "Increasingly a Necessity: A 15-Point Guide to Surviving Authoritarianism

Thousands of posts from a private Young Republican Telegram chat reveal a culture of casual racism/antisemitism, rape jokes and celebration of Hitler/Nazism.

Some of the ringleaders are below: We live in a world where 4chan types now occupy positions of real power.

NEW: I took a long look at the Proud Boys and found some of their most extreme chapters are sharing ICE recruiting materials on encrypted apps and even suggesting members have joined up. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/in-the-...
The first Antifa Counter Terrorism Task Force Trump already gave so many of us jobs with ICE. We may have to start recruiting soon to fill all these spots.

Eric Trump: "We're saving Christianity. We've saving God. We've saving the family unit. We're saving this nation. I mean, DEI is out of the window, Benny. You no longer have Colin Kaepernick kneeling for the national anthem. You no longer have Budweiser going woke as hell. All of this is dead."

Calling this a “peace deal” is grotesque. Gaza’s been reduced to ashes, millions displaced, tens of thousands dead, and Israel’s bombs equaled ten Hiroshimas. Trump isn’t making peace with people, he’s making peace with the rubble. Oh, and don’t forget the Epstein list.

BRUTAL MOCKING OF ICE CONTINUES

Brave masked agents some now having PTSD (Post Taunting Stress Disorder) are being attacked with humour, jibes, cutting comments and even the 'N' word, Nuance. One agent told how he was slashed with sarcasm and will not return to active duty.

They're embedding "influencers" not journalists in the ICE facility and around our city to feed the endless frenzy about ANTIFA, which doesn't exist, and creating foaming-at-the-mouth crises that live nowhere but their poisonous brains.

You know who hates America

The guys who took healthcare away from millions of Americans

The ones who CUT billions of dollars for programs like cancer research and FEMA

Who sit and watch the president use military troops to attack our cities

That’s Mike Johnson

HE hates America
