Ugh, yea. These Right wing hate organizations have done more damage to this country than anyone.

Heritage, Turning Point, the Daughters of the Confederacy, the Sons of the Confederacy, and many others. But I also want to include groups like the NRA

trump was responsible for nothing, Biden was held responsible for everything. trump gets credit for everything, Biden got credit for nothing - "heads we win and tails you lose," the right wing lie machine has trained media very well.

There isn’t another side to the argument. Every actor in the system—from defense attorneys to Justices on the Supreme Court—recognizes what is happening. The only question is how the criminal justice system should respond.”

For fucks sake these Gestapo criminal thugs pepper sprayed a person in a frog costume, an individual who is obviously a ZERO threat to them! Of course the 🍊 American Hitler (actually Stephen Miller) is eager to invoke the insurrection act as soon as possible

The level of kleptocratic corruption in this regime is breathtaking, e.g.:

—Selling off Freddie Mac & Fannie Mae to big banks

—Bribes from ABC & CBS

—TikTok sale to Ellison

—Everything Qatar: the plane gift, the Idaho military base

—Whoever has bribed him by buying his scam meme coins
