Note: I am working on a big, big essay about "Whiteness" in the USA. Not for the first time, I have bitten off more than I can chew. But I have learned quite a lot of new things while researching the subject. I had hoped to publish it yesterday, but I am only halfway done. It will satisfy no one, but it will be a good read. I can promise you that.
You know Niccolo, that there are individuals who see the huge increase in trans identities in white girls as an exit strategy out of whiteness. In other words, a way to minoritize yourself.
In that famous DSA video from 2019 the loudest and spazziest voices about pronouns and anxiety were those of white men trying to abdicate their white privilege
You are probably making a mistake Sir writing on Whiteness in the USA. I have learned it’s impossible to understand another people or nation.
(Avoiding race below)
...and to take it from travels, cities, or online...
To look at America’s airports for example would give a terrible and misleading impression. That’s because how the Airport appears isn’t a priority to the public or government. If it became a priority we’d immediately have to ReRegulate air travel and it would become unaffordable to many, AND OR the taxpayers would be hit with the bill....
... and lets examine some predictable to Americans second order consequences. Part of our social contract is the cost of self improvement and invention is very low. Anyone can become an their own business or entrepreneurial but every regulation advances against self improvement and innovation by its nature- that’s before regulation is used for “comparative advantage” against upstart competitors. We type here because IBM and Xerox did not crush the small competitors Gates and Jobs, never mind the Internet. **TO DENY SELF IMPROVEMENT would simply shred another American norm.
Self improvement is FAR from just money- did the two bicycle mechanics Wilbur and Orville Wright do powered flight for the money? <<?
So we invented Powered Flight, but we have Airports that are presently sub par.
To return to Race in America I would say read Francis Jennings on the subject of the Indians aka native Americans; Jennings was no Rightist nor Leftist, but he was very against as a historian the Puritan view of Parkman that the American Indians were dumb brutes who needed improvement, I can’t imagine he’d be a great fan of Rousseau either. What’s that got to do with Whiteness?
Well, you can’t discuss “race” in America (or anywhere) as we understand it before the 19th century and here the Race issue first is conceived as... the American Indians. The rest came later....
.....and to catch up, whites who didn’t attend the right schools have been vilified by those that did for decades, by the very people given succor here (I don’t mean Blacks) and the vilification was justification for urban ethnic cleansing some decades ago... and again right now. What happened in 2020 is trifling compared to the 60s and 70s.
....with the possible exception of no place to run now, we (whites) know we’ll never be free of our tormentors. The chief tormentors are... White.
Her name is Karen and she is going to be our manager...
- and thanks to the Internet she’ll never leave us alone... about anything, anywhere...
- y’all are opening up a can of worms 🐛 that’s actually a portal to Hell here...
Write about ethnicity in the Balkans. It’s not just more familiar, it’s probably less complicated and safer, lol.
One easy win would be just to shutter entire departments, as opposed to reform them in any way - Department of Energy, Department of Education, the EPA, etc.. Good or bad, it's not like the media could get any more histrionic about it.
What's America's problem with Hungary? Well, after what they are doing to Trump, what the Atlanticist Germans plan on doing to the AfD, I have a GWB quote as an answer:
"They hate our freedoms -- our freedom of religion, our freedom of speech, our freedom to vote and assemble and disagree with each other."
I remember I had resolved to say "They hate us for our freedoms" more around 2021 but completely forgot. Thank you for reminding me
Unfortunately the quote is uniquely linked to GWB and the only potential vehicle for change in the US right now is his political party so it might not work too well as messaging here lmao
In October 2016 Michael Brendan Dougherty predicted a Trump win would cause a federal bureaucracy working strike.
"But perhaps the best parallel is Mohammed Morsi, who led Egypt for just one year. Then government workers explicitly loyal to the armed forces simply sabotaged Morsi's presidency, largely by failing to deliver on basic services."
"I'm not worried about Donald Trump challenging the democratic legitimacy of our government as a losing presidential candidate. I worry far more about what happens if he wins."
It is absurd. Trump's politics were indistinguishable from those of any big city Democrat in the 90s. He is very Clintonian...though, thankfully, less bellicose.
Trump committed two offences. He did not take them seriously...always a hanging offence for those in authority. He understood what a pack of crooks they are and said so during the 2016 campaign. Also, Trump inadvertently mobilized masses of forgotten Americans, the Deplorables. This terrified the establishment. They like the people passive and docile and justify this preference by cultivating the fantasy that the American people are viciously intolerant and violent.
This guy could have become FDR in his first 90 days, starting with the sacking and possibly arrest of Comey and Brennan for trying to blackmail him with the fake Russia nonsense just before inauguration.
This mistake was co-equal with his lack of loyalty to General Flynn. This disincentivized people within the intelligence community who might have been useful allies.
Back when I started college in the mid-90s I was pretty into movies and repeatedly web-searched (pre-"googling") Heaven's Gate, looking for the movie. There wasn't much about the movie, but there was a lot of hits regarding a weird cult. Then a few years later the mass suicide happened.
I think we need a Redux Heavens Gate for 2024; a Reality TV star runs for President as a gag, but due to a repellent opponent drinking too much in public he’s unexpectedly elected President.
He then finds himself at the center of a bumbling international conspiracy involving British and American Intelligence and a fake plague staged by unscrupulous corporations and fiendish scientists. In Part 2 he becomes a Cult Hero and ....
I'm a little irritated you deleted your Weinstein Rome troll tweet from a few weeks ago. In particular, because my quote tweet was a banger. Moving on.
Thank you for sharing that Eugyppius essay. Germany is one of those countries Americans don't pay nearly enough attention to (including myself). I think it's clear at this point they are headed for a major political shakeup. It's nice that he laid out the voting demo east/west split. The situation there seems to parallel where we are at in the US. I still think other Euro states are gonna have to drag them along if there is going to be tangible change in Germany. If the US can blow up one of their pipelines, and get away with it, they are too weak to really set their own course imo.
On the Trump essay, heartening to read that they seem to have learned a valuable lesson from the first term. A major problem for Trump is not just staffing and civil service bureaucrats, but the WORLDWIDE mass media network. That's arguably an even more powerful subversion tool. Also, he probably has to not only focus on domestic bureaucrats, but the ones in Europe and elsewhere as well.
I watched his Tucker interview. He's still got it, but he was not as energetic as he was in 2016. I do believe the endless string of lawfare is wearing him down a bit. Plus, he's nearly 80. He's gonna need help, and he's gonna need to pick not only competent people, but personnel with serious vigor.

According many insiders, Vannacci was sacked because he denounced DU-round-related sickness in Italian troops in Iraq: the Defence Minister when he denounced is the actual President of the Republic, a formally ceremonial institution actually run by a sociopath with God complex, that is also the embodiment of the "permanent bureaucracy" in Italy.
He published the book because he had been already "kicked upstairs", i.e. removed from active duty to run the Italian Geographic Institute.

If you read Italian, you can read the interview with Elisabetta Trenta, fr. Minister of Defence, by La Verità on 28 of August 2023 that partially confirms that.
One of my best friends worked for KFOR in Kosovo in a civilian role. His mate was an Italian. This was around the time of the War in Iraq. Both of them got testicular cancer (both survived). Everyone knows that it was caused by DU.
1. Of course the prosecution of Trump is a witch hunt. What is anyone going to do about it? Pretty funny that there was so much hand-wringing and wailing about Muh Norms over "Lock Her Up!", but Trump is the one who will be hounded to his grave. Trump’s enemies are smart, nasty and determined, while Trump is weak, stupid and easily manipulated.
2. Of course the German political establishment is going to ban AfD, just as they will ban on any pretext any political force that questions American hegemony in general or the war on Ukraine in particular.
So what are Germans going to do about it? Keep in mind that Europeans like being slaves, and Germans are some of the most authority-trusting and sheeplike Europeans of all.
"Trump’s enemies are smart, nasty and determined"...more to the point they are not acting in good faith, are laying charges in order to frustrate Trump's ability to contest an election and thereby deny the people the right to make their own choice and are undermining the rule of law. Vexatious and malicious prosecution destroys public confidence in the administration of justice.
Trump has zero chance of winning regardless of the merits of any case that he might put. Federal felony cases almost always result in a guilty verdict because the system is a sham at the best of times. The whole thing is grotesque. America is well and truly a banana republic.
Yes - in terms of convictions the most important aspect is that for a lot of the charges he will face a DC jury - automatic irrespective of the facts (driven in large part by the entire ecosystem depending upon the Feds/Securitate). Query what happens on appeal in terms of a stay
Of course. Trump was distracted by flattery and stupid Twitter beefs with fellow members of the Moron-American Community while his enemies were gathering ammunition.
And they don't care about the consequences, all of which you accurately describe. They care about winning.
Anyway, most banana republics feature better weather, less shitty music, more attractive females, and a less hyperbelligerent foreign policy.
The protectors of Democracy TM just adopt the ADL model when it comes to speech. The veneer of credibility, partly based on the backing of other prestige institutions and partly based on inheritance of a bygone era perhaps, plus a capacity to use magic words to deem things plebian by an aristocracy
"Whether you like him or not, whether you view yourself as a liberal, conservative, socialist, etc., you cannot deny that he is being legally lynched by the powers-that-be."
I would deny that. So would some of my Republican friends. There is exactly one set of charges which are unsupportable, which are the those leveled by the Manhattan DA relating to the Stormy Daniels payments. Everything else is above-board, and, in fact, necessary for the continued integrity of the republic. We cannot have presidents calling secretaries of state demanding that they "find" votes, demanding their subordinates violate oaths of office to unconstitutionally disenfranchise whole states of voters, and repeatedly telling the Federal Government to fuck itself in the face of routine legal orders. The comparison of Trump's 2020 behavior with Hillary's 2016 campaign is tendentious and not really worth arguing.
Was going to say the same. The Stormy Daniels brouhaha is ridiculous and the classified documents charges seem pretty frivolous. But calling up the critical-to-the-nationwide-vote-outcome state's top election official and demanding they find you enough votes is intuitively and technically illegal in every way I can imagine.
Let’s talk about the election of 2000, or Chicago anytime, for instance 1960.
Now you Democrats are cheats and you got caught, now knowing that’s not going to surprise anyone you want to jail your political opponents. You can’t beat him in a honest election and you’re afraid to steal it twice, so you jail your political opposition.
> But this is incompetent repression. You need to be feared, instead you’re held in contempt and you have destroyed the legitimacy of laws.
Trump won in 2020, he has already won now thanks to you, and no election no matter how fortified will save you. Nor do Democrats plausibly call the police for anything, on Jan 6 DOD put you on hold, and the National Guard is unlikely to be tricked again. You burnt down the Foundations of the House to keep stealing a bit longer. Where are you going to flee to with that money? Nowhere.
Trump is likely not your nemesis but he is certainly the Usher of your Doom. How Pathetic.
I'm certainly not going to dispute that what happens in Chicago does not, in fact, stay in Chicago, at least as it pertains to mafia-orchestrated election shenanigans that, coincidentally of course, happened to favor one Kennedy, John Fitzgerald against a certain former vice president who has been completely lost to history and who definitely didn't conduct back-channel diplomacy with the Vietnamese to prolong a certain military conflict ahead of the 1968 elections because he thought he might gain advantage that way.
Above all, I wish to suggest that politics and the pursuits of power are always clean and nice and never funny businesses. Also that someone who got himself recorded on the phone saying "find the votes" is extremely smart and a great champion and very good at being dirty without being caught, not that the second half of that phrase ever mattered, ever, in any of the maneuverings discussed above.
If we are willing to go and prosecute every politician who says “Find the Votes” going back to at least 2020 .... instead of just the ones in your way?
Are you kidding?
That’s every fsking election
Every damn floor vote-
Now you are just jailing your political opponents, that’s it.
In 2020 you killed a few as well.
Don’t dress it up as law 🤣🤣
Fine.
This is normal human history, to be honest I’m only really pissed my side isn’t. I’m hopeful we’ll learn from you and get with the program. 😀
And I’m glad you have a sense of humor, it will serve you well in the times to come.
LMAO- I forgot - you realize Fani Williams, the Fulton county Prosecutor who indicted Trump before the Grand Jury had voted 🤣, just a formality of course , that she regularly questioned the 2018 and 2020 election results on Facebook?
Then, on the subject of Find the Votes - in 2018 Ms.Williams ““Secretary of State will definitely be on the ballot. That person controls elections. I wonder if we yet realize that is an important role? SMDH!”
You guys need better help over there... it’s not good to indict people (before the Grand Jury vote 🤣) for allegedly doing what your team did on Facebook!
Not complaining. This clinches the nomination for Trump, and even you Dems may not be able to fortify the General election enough to keep him out!
I agree it's pretty weird that it took so long as well, but I attribute it to the stupidity of the folks involved in the prosecution. To each their own.
Again, the only point I'm really trying to make here is that there's literally a tape of T saying "find me votes" to GA's top elections official. Say what you will about the other nonsense charges, but that's illegal! I would still prefer T be able to stand trial via democratic election than in the courtroom, but I also don't think that particular charge is an attempt to lynch democracy or whatever. I don't think it's crazy for someone who actively attempted to subvert democratic processes--find me the votes!--to lose the opportunity to participate in democratic processes.
But again, to each their own, and I think we basically agree that it would be better for him to be able to run than for him to be disqualified via courtroom.
Just every politician, every election, every floor vote has said that...
What’s illegal is telling you NO, which certainly your parents didn’t.
By the way it’s actually illegal to announce a Grand Jury Indictment before the Grand Jury votes 🤣
Speaking of votes here’s Fani Williams on FB ““Secretary of State will definitely be on the ballot. That person controls elections. I wonder if we yet realize that is an important role? SMDH!”- 2018
Now this is incompetent repression, and you’re incompetent at tyranny too!
I think you’ll find turning to jailing and occasionally killing your political opponents is a really slippery slope. We’ll learn.
LMAO.
I’m actually enjoying this election cycle! I haven’t found politics this entertaining in decades! Dems have clinched the nomination for Trump and soon he’ll win the General in such numbers the fortified democracy will not hold!
If the election were held today Trump will win in the people’s hearts and minds, regardless of the official tally that none will believe. They’ll shriek they won but they’ll know we know they’re lying. They lied in 2020 too.
That’s not a solution, it is an erosion of their fantasy, aka narrative.
Their ultimate problem is they don’t know that 1984 was written as parody. That’s Orwell’s exact wording - Parody.
What we have here are bitchez trying to front KGB and it won’t hold. It works in THEIR circles.
Make no mistake, Trump will be jailed and barred from office; throw in bankrupt for good measure.
Brexit, supported by Nazis and white supremacists
Trump/DeSantis, Nazis and white supremacists
U.S. Constitution, Bill of Rights, written by slave-owning white men; raze any and all of their monuments
Freedom and capitalism, used to enslave the working poor
Free childcare, to free parents to go to work; let the State raise your children
Childish insults, no? Because this is the conditioning, grooming, if you like, of the younger generation, to fundamentally change the U.S.
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”
Save your hard copy books. Memorialize the past and these times for future generations.
“AFPI aspires to be an administration-in-waiting. Its staff of 172 includes eight former cabinet secretaries from the Trump administration and 20 other political appointees. “I will leave things ready for the next Republican president,”
The GOP is likely preparing a Trojan horse, using Trump's imprimatur to prepare a mix of salutary reforms (for the benefit of MAGA) with plenty of their own standard GOP preferences as well. With the Heritage foundation in the picture I doubt that the planning is all that populist.
I don't think you can win without some of those Heritage types in your corner, at least not at the moment. But it's very difficult to bring them onboard without them knifing you in the back to scuttle the rest of your ideas for more tax cuts

We don’t need schools either, which in America have little to do with education.
What a dumb comment.
I think he meant we don't need government run schools.
Yes. A complete separation of school and state.
Let the Trial begin Leon and school will become a word for Fire. Long overdue.
One monumental win it would sure be—just what does 'easy' do in your sound vision? 😏

Hope Orban sees this. I know Rod Dreher is a subscriber, maybe he can relay things to the big guy
I get my pay check from the Kremlin, just like Nico, so we have the same handlers as Orban. I'll put this in my next report to the FSB.
I remember I had resolved to say "They hate us for our freedoms" more around 2021 but completely forgot. Thank you for reminding me

Count me as a Trump skeptic. If he were an actual danger, he'd be assassinated. They might go so far as to frame Ann Coulter for the killing.
The pathetic thing is HE IS a Danger, the Tragic Horror is WE AREN’T.
Trump is the leader 🇺🇸 deserves.
A loudmouth bluffer who comically ends up scaring the senile Boomer perverts to death.
These are people who jail Grandmothers who were going to see their elected representatives.
That’s how BITCH AMERICANS ARE NOW. SAD!!
Trump 24: 🇺🇸you deserve nothing more than this B grade farce, this is Abbott and Costello vs Laurel and Hardy.
The leaders we need would make Stalin look like a kind old uncle.

There is exactly one set of charges which are unsupportable, which are the those leveled by the Manhattan DA relating to the Stormy Daniels payments. Everything else is above-board, and, in fact, necessary for the continued integrity of the republic. We cannot have presidents calling secretaries of state demanding that they "find" votes, demanding their subordinates violate oaths of office to unconstitutionally disenfranchise whole states of voters, and repeatedly telling the Federal Government to fuck itself in the face of routine legal orders. The comparison of Trump's 2020 behavior with Hillary's 2016 campaign is tendentious and not really worth arguing.
Was going to say the same. The Stormy Daniels brouhaha is ridiculous and the classified documents charges seem pretty frivolous. But calling up the critical-to-the-nationwide-vote-outcome state's top election official and demanding they find you enough votes is intuitively and technically illegal in every way I can imagine.
Let’s talk about the election of 2000, or Chicago anytime, for instance 1960.
Now you Democrats are cheats and you got caught, now knowing that’s not going to surprise anyone you want to jail your political opponents. You can’t beat him in a honest election and you’re afraid to steal it twice, so you jail your political opposition.
> But this is incompetent repression. You need to be feared, instead you’re held in contempt and you have destroyed the legitimacy of laws.
Trump won in 2020, he has already won now thanks to you, and no election no matter how fortified will save you. Nor do Democrats plausibly call the police for anything, on Jan 6 DOD put you on hold, and the National Guard is unlikely to be tricked again. You burnt down the Foundations of the House to keep stealing a bit longer. Where are you going to flee to with that money? Nowhere.
Trump is likely not your nemesis but he is certainly the Usher of your Doom. How Pathetic.
Trump is a Reality TV show.
How.Pathetic.
Bye.
I'm certainly not going to dispute that what happens in Chicago does not, in fact, stay in Chicago, at least as it pertains to mafia-orchestrated election shenanigans that, coincidentally of course, happened to favor one Kennedy, John Fitzgerald against a certain former vice president who has been completely lost to history and who definitely didn't conduct back-channel diplomacy with the Vietnamese to prolong a certain military conflict ahead of the 1968 elections because he thought he might gain advantage that way.
Above all, I wish to suggest that politics and the pursuits of power are always clean and nice and never funny businesses. Also that someone who got himself recorded on the phone saying "find the votes" is extremely smart and a great champion and very good at being dirty without being caught, not that the second half of that phrase ever mattered, ever, in any of the maneuverings discussed above.
If we are willing to go and prosecute every politician who says “Find the Votes” going back to at least 2020 .... instead of just the ones in your way?
Are you kidding?
That’s every fsking election
Every damn floor vote-
Now you are just jailing your political opponents, that’s it.
In 2020 you killed a few as well.
Don’t dress it up as law 🤣🤣
Fine.
This is normal human history, to be honest I’m only really pissed my side isn’t. I’m hopeful we’ll learn from you and get with the program. 😀
And I’m glad you have a sense of humor, it will serve you well in the times to come.
LMAO- I forgot - you realize Fani Williams, the Fulton county Prosecutor who indicted Trump before the Grand Jury had voted 🤣, just a formality of course , that she regularly questioned the 2018 and 2020 election results on Facebook?
Then, on the subject of Find the Votes - in 2018 Ms.Williams ““Secretary of State will definitely be on the ballot. That person controls elections. I wonder if we yet realize that is an important role? SMDH!”
You guys need better help over there... it’s not good to indict people (before the Grand Jury vote 🤣) for allegedly doing what your team did on Facebook!
Not complaining. This clinches the nomination for Trump, and even you Dems may not be able to fortify the General election enough to keep him out!
Whoo hoo !
Joker; let me explain.
You’re traitors.
But your real problem is; You’re cowards.
As for you the Republic’s Assassins waving her Bloody Shirt... 🤣
Be nice! We all must treat each other with a fair level of respect here.
That is being nice, Sir.
I promise to be nicer
If Trump has a case to answer for, why did the prosecutors wait this long to bring charges?
I agree it's pretty weird that it took so long as well, but I attribute it to the stupidity of the folks involved in the prosecution. To each their own.
Again, the only point I'm really trying to make here is that there's literally a tape of T saying "find me votes" to GA's top elections official. Say what you will about the other nonsense charges, but that's illegal! I would still prefer T be able to stand trial via democratic election than in the courtroom, but I also don't think that particular charge is an attempt to lynch democracy or whatever. I don't think it's crazy for someone who actively attempted to subvert democratic processes--find me the votes!--to lose the opportunity to participate in democratic processes.
But again, to each their own, and I think we basically agree that it would be better for him to be able to run than for him to be disqualified via courtroom.
Find me the votes is illegal?
Are you sure?
Has anyone else ever said that? 🤣
Just every politician, every election, every floor vote has said that...
What’s illegal is telling you NO, which certainly your parents didn’t.
By the way it’s actually illegal to announce a Grand Jury Indictment before the Grand Jury votes 🤣
Speaking of votes here’s Fani Williams on FB ““Secretary of State will definitely be on the ballot. That person controls elections. I wonder if we yet realize that is an important role? SMDH!”- 2018
Now this is incompetent repression, and you’re incompetent at tyranny too!
I think you’ll find turning to jailing and occasionally killing your political opponents is a really slippery slope. We’ll learn.
LMAO.
I’m actually enjoying this election cycle! I haven’t found politics this entertaining in decades! Dems have clinched the nomination for Trump and soon he’ll win the General in such numbers the fortified democracy will not hold!
O/T - but this guy at History for Atheists blog Tim O’Neill would be a good get for you -
https://historyforatheists.com/about-the-author-and-a-faq/
Tim O’Neill rocks ×7! Especially his Great Myths series is plain astounding ⚡🔥
The kind of rationalist an empiricist may enjoy.
If the election were held today Trump will win in the people’s hearts and minds, regardless of the official tally that none will believe. They’ll shriek they won but they’ll know we know they’re lying. They lied in 2020 too.
That’s not a solution, it is an erosion of their fantasy, aka narrative.
Their ultimate problem is they don’t know that 1984 was written as parody. That’s Orwell’s exact wording - Parody.
What we have here are bitchez trying to front KGB and it won’t hold. It works in THEIR circles.
Not reality.
Saturday morning melancholy musings:
Imran Khan, sentenced 3 years in jail
Bolsonaro, barred from office until 2030
Make no mistake, Trump will be jailed and barred from office; throw in bankrupt for good measure.
Brexit, supported by Nazis and white supremacists
Trump/DeSantis, Nazis and white supremacists
U.S. Constitution, Bill of Rights, written by slave-owning white men; raze any and all of their monuments
Freedom and capitalism, used to enslave the working poor
Free childcare, to free parents to go to work; let the State raise your children
Childish insults, no? Because this is the conditioning, grooming, if you like, of the younger generation, to fundamentally change the U.S.
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”
Save your hard copy books. Memorialize the past and these times for future generations.
Cynicism off of the charts this Saturday morning!
Lol! I’ve been on X too much. I need to go outside and socialize with my community.
X is toxic.
AT LAST SOMEONE IS SERIOUS.
ORGANIZATION AT LAST.
“AFPI aspires to be an administration-in-waiting. Its staff of 172 includes eight former cabinet secretaries from the Trump administration and 20 other political appointees. “I will leave things ready for the next Republican president,”
The GOP is likely preparing a Trojan horse, using Trump's imprimatur to prepare a mix of salutary reforms (for the benefit of MAGA) with plenty of their own standard GOP preferences as well. With the Heritage foundation in the picture I doubt that the planning is all that populist.
The Heritage Foundation puts in pro-business judges who as it happens were pro-life Trojan Horses. Funny world.
Trump appointed one of the judges who just handed out an outrageous sentence to one of the Proud Boys. No laughing matter.
Trump is a Reality TV show.
And yet the Usher of Doom.
Really! That’s sad!
Having said that he kept his word to appoint the Heritage Slate, he went right off the list published during his 2016 campaign.
Outrageous? Those treasonous dipshits had it coming.
Oh, you’re here to Troll?
Welcome.
Lol
22 yrs in the pen for ol Enrique! The tangerine Twatwaffle will soon join him.
Were they not treasonous warred??
I don't think you can win without some of those Heritage types in your corner, at least not at the moment. But it's very difficult to bring them onboard without them knifing you in the back to scuttle the rest of your ideas for more tax cuts
Yes sub rosa dialectical negation plan
