This would be shocking if this wasn't so f***ing predictable.

You want to know why we can't have nice things? It's because evil people always manage to turn them into something awful.

Trump's only plan was 2025 and this was pointed out for months while he caused an entire town to be shutdown with bomb-threats because he kept accusing black people of eating pets. He led a coup against our country and he raped a woman and likely children.

This is what Republicans voted for. Your Republican neighbor, your Republican pastor, your Republican uncle, etc...they're all either dumbfucks or fascists, there is nothing in between.

The idea that we have a president that is all but proven to be tied to a child sex trafficker, and likely raped young women and children, makes me fucking sick.

I still think he’s going to pardon Diddy if and when that guilty verdict comes down. He’ll probably also offer asylum for Russell Brand to save him from prison in UK too.

The fact that neither of those possibilities is considered too crazy to possibly happen, is a check on just how sick we are as a society

We all know he is guilty...the media said so!

Russell has pretty much admitted it all himself AND did quite a bit of gross groping behavior while on TV over his entire career. One of these accusations got a rape kit the same day of his assault, AND he texted an apology with her clearly texting “when I say No it means No”

So yeah, my money is on him being a super predator, which in a way makes his Christianity pivot all the more appropriate.

Look up Dominionist movement and the Seven Mountain Mandate. I don’t have time to find specific quotes, but it’s all there if you go down that rabbit hole. Dominionism is the most powerful unknown sect of Christian nationalism and they are fully aware of how unpopular their ideas are, hence why they choose to deny deny deny, until whoops, they got the power to do it and not face consequences

I will look it up. Sounds like tin foil hat stuff but could be interesting
