if you are looking at Trump's plans to steal the '26 midterm and saying to yourself "Trump can't do that" you must ask yourself "who will stop him?"

and if your answer is the military, you are *also* predicting a coup to end democracy in the United States, you're just predicting a different coup

It feels like the government is hijacked by the worst of the worst angels from hell. Imagine for a second that all it will take is ONE VOTE to get all these motherfuckers out of our sight forever! Would you do that, America?

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."
