In a world where reality blurs with insanity, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. finds himself at the epicenter of a conspiracy that defies all reason. I watched it so you don’t have to. Brace yourselves as you are being red-pilled.
As the House Committee on the Weaponization of Government convened, led by the enigmatic mastermind, Jim Jordan, an eerie aura filled the room. Unbeknownst to the public, Jordan possesses an eidetic memory, which grants him unparalleled strategic brilliance. He is more than a political genius; he is a savant of secrets.
In the shadows, a nefarious alliance between Democrats and the Deep State emerges, united by their dark intentions to silence Kennedy. Why? Because he has unwittingly stumbled upon their most closely guarded secrets hidden within the ritual conclave called by Democrats, in French of course, à la Confrérie Secrète de l’Obscurité Mystique - À huis clos. Behind closed doors, century-old rituals are enacted, blending ancient mysticism with the forbidden art of exchanging risotto recipes that hold coded messages.
But that’s only the beginning! As Kennedy took the stand, he revealed a mind-bending truth that rattles the very foundations of reality. Gain of function research, conducted by extraterrestrial beings, is creating infectious diseases tailor-made to eradicate specific segments of society, namely Republicans (and blacks and Jews). The government’s dark pact with alien forces came to light, painting a surreal picture of corruption and malevolence.
The Republicans, daring to challenge the established order, catapulted Kennedy to the forefront of this twisted spectacle. They aimed to expose the government’s blatant violation of Kennedy’s First Amendment rights by granting him an exclusive platform to unleash the truth he’s unearthed. In a theatrical display like no other, he divulged secrets that blur the line between delusion and revelation.
But the pièce de résistance lies in the enigmatic Missouri v. Biden case. Unraveling the perfect chain of custody history of Hunter’s laptop, a rabbit hole opened to reveal a surreal saga of bribery and deceit. The Biden administration allegedly accepted bribes from the enigmatic entity known as Burisma, all to suppress the scandalous truth concealed within Hunter’s dick pics!

By holding the full faith and credit of the United States hostage, Republicans are not only engaging in domestic political terrorism, they are de facto colluding with Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, and other malevolent actors who are eager to bring down the dollar as world reserve currency:
But, then, we always knew those who screamed about their patriotism the loudest would be the first ones to betray the country to hostile foreign interests.

The Republican’s definition of “the full faith and credit of the United States of America” is the same as “the full faith and credit of Donald Trump.” Sane citizens do not see it that way.

Well, it’s better than the Democrats’ default course of action, which is NOT to have a plan, and to trust in the abiding virtue and keen intellect of duh Uhmerrican peepul to understand what’s at stake and support Democrats 'cuz it’s the right thing to do.

Coming soon in Fulton County : Racketeering charges for the donald and possibly a dirty dozen others, “on at least two “qualifying” crimes. In the Trump investigation, the Fulton county district attorney, Fani Willis, has evidence to pursue a racketeering indictment predicated on statutes related to influencing witnesses and computer trespass.” Expected in the first two weeks of August.
The trumpanzees are gonna have some pretty hot dog days.

Looking forward to Oppenheimer, maybe this weekend, but Barbie was incredible! One of, if not the, most well-written and subversive movies of the year. I can’t believe it got made and released as-is. The RWNJs are gonna lose their tiny little minds over it.

Poll: Trump voters say racism against white Americans is a bigger problem than racism against Black Americans (yahoo.com)
The survey of 1,638 U.S. adults, which was conducted from July 13-17, shows that among 2020 Trump voters, 62% say that racism against Black Americans is a problem today — while 73% say that racism against white Americans is a problem.
Asked how much of a problem racism currently is, just 19% of Trump voters describe racism against Black Americans as a “big problem.” Twice as many (37%) say racism against white Americans is a big problem.
