To put this in perspective chestnut trees used to be dominant species in the United States. Billions of trees were killed by fungal blight and now fully grown America chestnuts are functionally extinct. There is no getting them back. Ever. All for a data center. www.gadgetreview.com/one-of-ameri...

All this guy has done since being appointed is order the killing of people. He has a hard-on for murder. I also find it interesting that the party of supposed "christian values" has murdered fishermen, little girls, and U.S citizens to say the least.

"In addition to favoring more “archaic” execution methods, Rolling Stone says that Trump has discussed the desirability of conducting mass executions.

It notes that the former president is “big on the idea of executing large numbers of drug dealers and drug lords because he’d say, ‘These people don’t care about anything,’ … and therefore, they need to be eradicated, not jailed.”

If you can vote early - by mail, drop box, or in person - it’s time to get out. If you have family or friends who need a hand getting out give them a ride. If you have people in your life who don’t vote, let them know that unless they get out they may not have another chance. Let’s do this. #RFA
