California Prop 50 passes! Fighting fire with fire!
This is a massive win. California will redraw congressional districts aimed at netting 5 Democrat House seats in the midterms to offset or overtake Republican gerrymandering in other states.

We’re skipping ahead to global destruction.
F47 just ordered a nuclear test on a whim to look tough & completely ignores the gravity of restarting the global arms race.
Not content with the destruction of the East Wing, he’ll eventually blow up the whole world.

“Jared’s been pushing this.”
Recent reporting on 60 Minutes revealed there’s been a “master plan” in place to rebuild Gaza amid claims that the money part “will be easy.”
As I have repeated stated, this is a real estate transaction w/Felon47 & Kushner waiting in the wings to benefit.

This seems pretty symbolic of what’s happening to our nation.
It is horrifying to watch. He’s tearing down a symbol of our government & our country while we watch.
It’ll be the new Trump Motel DC. Bedbugs, Russians & anyone with an open check book will get 1st dibs on visitation.

Modern day Ms. Goebbels spouting racist ideology with a smile.
This fascist propaganda uses bold-faced lies & negative stereotypes as red meat for their base with rhetoric explicitly intended to inspire violence.

First Bibi tries to influence the Nobel Peace Prize committee & now he is being consoled by Putin.

The Tx Supreme Court will now oversee law school credentialling and NOT the American Bar Association.

Vegas odds on Felon47 being awarded the Nobel Peace prize?
It’s revolting that F47 has conspired w/Netenyahu regarding the timing of the hostage release to boost his chances of getting the prize he so desperately seeks.
This narcissist makes everything about him. What happens if he loses?

Felon47 is making his way down his enemies list.
NY AG Letitia James has been indicted. She is responsible for winning a civil fraud case against him that resulted in a eye-watering $500M fine. A black woman winning against him…he will never get over it. This is absolutely malicious prosecution.

Illinois & Chicago are fighting back!
Here are the latest court wins by the ACLU of IL.
Next they should ban mask wearing & make them identity themselves.
It is crazy that this isn’t already a requirement?!! They all need to be held accountable for their violent behaviors.

Two horrific mass shootings events by former military white men. Just terrifying.
The violence is spreading, so much of it incited by that fetid orange Felon. It feels like a fire has been ignited. Nowhere feels safe anymore. Families & communities broken forever.

I agree with your categorizations. However, I would add that each is being weaponized for one purpose: ultimate POWER. As such, they all belong within one larger circle.

Here’s yet another chart from the CATO Institute showing the ideology of political murders (excluding 9/11).
Felon47 lies about the level of violence coming from the ‘radical left’ in order to continue to foment fear & divisiveness. The truth is that most political violence comes from the right.
