Kamala is all out of f*cks and I’m here for it 🔥

We see you, @codepink.bsky.social

Your paid performative agitators pop up on her book tour like they think we don’t know the VP’s job.

The VP doesn’t set Middle East policy, the President does. The VP’s role is to support the President, period.

Today marks the anniversary of the death of Matthew Shepard. After being lured out to the country he was beaten and tied to a fence and left for dead. For being gay.

I have a story about how his death impacted me, and it starts back in 1997, when I first moved from my birth city to Texas...

There is no empirical evidence that hell exists.

Nevertheless, for my own mental health, I choose to believe that it does, and that it is populated with abusers of men, women, children and animals.

All persons who enjoy the suffering of others will end up there.

That is all.

It's a non-violent way to undermine their authority and ridicule at the same time.

I don't think performance art belongs in an active war zone

I don't think the Middle East needs a White Savior

I don't think someone barely old enough to buy a beer is going to solve a conflict 6 times her age

AND?

The bitch didn't actually bring any aid

These protests of Kamala Harris at her book signing when Trump is tearing up the country are making people listen to these so-called Palestinian "activists" even less. They are jokes now. Too bad Palestinians don't have better activists in the U.S. But now no one with sense listens to them anymore.

The fact that they don't have the same energy for the people in charge, happily working to do even worse now says everything.

This is a MAGA, whom like most MAGAs, sold his lowly, troubled and weak soul to the Devil.

MAGA has no policies, no ideology and no morality centered in humanity.

#MAGA separates families, kicks people off their healthcare and is working to murder children. Sheer evil.
