Webcomics are the funniest thing
As soon as the internet is we invented, people put comics on it. It’s like how every animal evolutionary line wants to become a crab eventually. Humans will put comics anywhere they can.

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

Rep. Thanedar has filed two articles of impeachment against Hegseth, one for "murder and conspiracy to murder" and the other for "reckless and unlawful mishandling of classified information." 🧵
