Note: this is not in defense of the man being lynched. He did what he did and should be handled accordingly. But what benefit does the US—and really global—public get from a livestreamed murder? What happened to being a "Christian nation"? I didn't know Jesus was bloodthirsty

November 1, 2024. The Strait of Hormuz was open. Gas was $3/gal. Inflation was 2.2%. Unemployment was 4.1%. We weren’t killing people just because they weren’t White. 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. had grass and a rose garden. #BlueWaveIn30Days

It started much slower than it should’ve, but slowly the crowd began to laugh, until it was a roaring belly splitting laughter at the deranged Emperor. It stung his ears like a wayward AR-15 bullet. He really was naked, a grotesque feast for the eyes than no one had the stomach for consuming.
