certain folks will mock you for it.

I remember about a year ago I would use Twitter as a source for something and I would take grief for it, not just here, elsewhere.

Or I would say something like IF a certain judge does a certain thing then FUCK that judge because that makes them a no good corrupt traitorous piece of shit, like Judge Ellis OBVIOUSLY is, but boy do I take shit for those comments too.

Better not ASSUME certain people are gonna be a certain way even though they usually are and my assumptions are usually correct.

I know this is kind of coded language but hopefully you and others get what I am saying.

I also happen to be one of the few people I know of who openly calls out a certain politician for NOT AT ALL being who he says he is.

I keep waiting for others to wake the fuck up.

Though lately it seems like every day is a show of force from them.

April 20th is significant to white supremacists marking Hitler’s day of birth.

Their flag to April's breeze unfurled,

And fired the shot heard round the world.'

new book that's out about Trump as the superhero battler of evil planet-wide forces. (Spoiler:
He and his warriors are going to defeat us.) Foreign governments, extremist groups, and other wingnuts are using Amazon and others very successfully to raise revenue and as nodes for spreading propaganda and paranoia, as is obviously happening here.

Here are the top positive and negative reviews to "QAnon: An Invitation to The Great Awakening by WWG1WGA

POSITIVE: Barbara, February 27, 2019, 5.0 out of 5 stars: The battle for our lives is being waged now. What will be the outcome?

Some people are unaware of a REAL war going on now between a globalist cabal and freedom-loving patriots. The issue is whether the U.S., along with the entire world, will be dominated by a few trillionaire satanist cannibals or by We The People. The importance of this conflict cannot be overstated. It is not dramatic to say that the cabal has a plan to destroy 90 percent of the world's population and enslave the rest. What reads like a sci-fi novel is, in fact, the real world we live in. Those with closed minds will scoff. Honest, good-hearted people who want the truth, no matter how painful, will read this book and join a world-wide awakening with the millions who are not afraid to face the facts and fight for our future.

CRITICAL: Matt, March 4, 2019, 2 out of 5 stars: Save your money, just punch yourself in the face instead

I don't know. On one hand, everything in here is patently wrong and would be laughable if there weren't so many people who believed it. But on the other hand, the fact that I got to read:

'The book posits that Monsters Inc. shows off a government plan to collect children’s blood “that gives [government figures] some form of high or youthful looks."'

on an actual book review has got to be worth two stars.

I copied this from Sebastian Gorka's feed. He's pushing this stuff. As Trump's imaginary warriors say, "For where we go one, we go all". Uhuh. Not. Nutty as they are, there are definite authoritarian/fascist leanings that would make them useful to archconservative leaders. They currently fully support brutal suppression of all who oppose their mighty leader, just as they once hoped electing Trump would result in executions for treason of many who opposed him.

It is the day Cheney (dba Bush jr.) invaded Iraq

It is my birthday.

what has rapidly been acknowledged as the co-opted White Power sign du jour to sell their services. Then again, this is an insurance company we're talking about, and they're generally as sleazy and slippery as a Saudi sex tourist covered in edible body oil tied to a bed in a back alley Bangkok "Love Hotel".
