Why buy a slave when the work is so cheap? 🤑 The class war is over and we most certainly lost. Surrendered. Handed it to them on a silver platter even. Revolutions have happened elsewhere but we’re just happy to legalize weed. 🌿 #RIPUSA 🇺🇸 😢

The answer is right there. Break stuff. Break Donald Trump’s stuff. Break the Nazis, too. America doesn’t have until 2028 election, inauguration in 2029, then appointments, and bureaucracy. This government is the enemy of the people. No time to wait, and assume the constitution still functions.

Ford is an a$$ and I can say that because unfortunately he is my premier 🥲 he needs to calm the rhetoric down, it accomplishes little other than to let off steam and show how Trumpy he is. Trump thrives on attention, we should deny him the pleasure as we move on.
