“We’re going to have everything,” Trump told Hannity. “We’re going to have sheriffs, and we’re going to have law enforcement, and we’re going to have, hopefully, U.S. attorneys, and we’re going to have everybody and attorneys general.
We’re going to have Mad Max, we’re going to have Alex Foley, we’re going to have Serpico, we’re going to have Alonzo Harris, we’re going to have the Bad Lieutenant, we’re going to have Crockett and Tubbs, we’re going to have Turner and Hooch.
Hell we’re going to have ROBOCOP.

This Orange Menace commits unlawful acts again and again…Voter intimidation = Voter suppression, you moron!

Too bad, Trumpian minions cannot walk back the 180k Covid-19 death toll (worldometers.info)!

Meanwhile…57% of Republicans finds it acceptable to have this much of Covid death :scream::rage:!

I never ever want to hear from any of them about touting their pro-life value! Hypocrites!

I wonder where Meadows does his grocery shopping? Everyone is DC wears a mask and keeps their distance. Maybe he flies to Florida or Alabama to shop?

They don’t need to actually follow up – the work is done by the suggestion itself, especially in a national atmosphere where large segments of the population fear armed authorities.

Come to think of it, walking back the suggestion does the same amount of work, in that it reminds everyone of the original suggestion.
