I still think it's funny as shit that Reddit has essentially killed itself by banning X links.

We've been seeing a lot of proof that not only have they become the Man™, they don't realize it. Getting subreddits taken over after driving away everyone right of Stalin. They've suffocated themselves still thinking they have room to breathe.

How likely is it looking for RFK to get confirmed? Since he's an outsider from the Republicans, wouldn't that hinder his chances even more?

He's the toughest to get through. But he's the one Trump will go to bat for the hardest. He knows how important RFK was to his massive election winnings and Trump will 100% reward his loyalty appropriately. And he knows how many of his current supporters want RFK to MAHA. I will be shocked if Trump lefts him out to dry. That wouldn't match Trump's personality at all. He will get RFK through no matter what.

It's shredded memory foam in a pillow. Pillows are subjective, but I like mine. Fluffs real good in the drier.

Btw he's been doing the memes forever, I think when I got mine I used a product code that was some sort of reference to 2020 being stolen.

Thinking back on it if Trump had been allowed to get a second term back to back none of this likely would be happening. He wouldn't have time to steep on the betrayals and bullshittery and would likely be getting led along by the usual suspects. It's entirely their fault he came back with a vengeance the way he has and that's he's noticed and is serious about the stuff that he is. Being vindicated feels good. Even what is already being done is beyond what most were cautiously optimistic for.

I’m traveling in Vietnam and I want to share something I read in a restaurant, and yes this will tie back into America.
IMG_8291.jpeg
These people love their homeland, there’s memorials and museums everywhere, they all partake in large holidays and cultural events, and even if they, like my boyfriend who immigrated to America the right way and is very proud to be American, disagree with certain things in their homeland they are proud to be Vietnamese.
Compare that to how Americans have been told forever that we’re evil, we should be ashamed of our homeland, and we need to atone for all this shit. Complete opposite. And now I’ll tell you a story about my travels, and I think it’s important to illustrate my point about how Americans need to be proud to be Americans.
I went to visit one of my dad’s friends in a very small village in the Mekong Delta where they farm coconuts. The friend does a lot of charity work with his native wife, and we showed up and immediately the leader of the village sat us down for a meal he made himself and drinks. We were in a memorial building for the Southern Vietnamese who were in that village and died in the war, and were drinking beer and rice wine and eating delicious food and singing karaoke. Because that’s what you do in Vietnam, you are proud to be in a community that provides charity for the elderly and the less fortunate, you are proud to be a good host and feed your guests, are are proud of what your people can offer, and you are proud to have the opportunity to showcase your history.
We don’t have that sense of community in America anymore. It’s been beaten out of us and look around you. No one likes anyone else, we’re not hospitable to each other, we don’t have community, and we’re not proud of our history anymore. I hope one day that can change, and we can all be proud to be Americans again.
Don’t be meek, be proud that you are a fucking American and that America is your homeland.

I also bought one, not even for the memes but because they were rated as actually good pillows for the price. It's pretty good, maybe a little lumpy but still has good structure. Worth every penny.

Buchanon sucks, but FDR was fucking hell and I blame most our modern problems on him.

Even then is Biden really the worst, or is he just the 3rd term of Obama (who also sucks ass)?

the presidential overreach that FDR used to destroy this country was pioneered by Lincoln, who was much more blatant in the way he went about than FDR was. FDR at least pretended to be nice. Lincoln would imprison you without trial for not toeing with the party line.

Lincoln did one thing that was good and that makes it border line blasphemy to talk about the tyrant he really was. maddening.

If he doesn't get the votes, what other avenues can Trump push to get him confirmed?

I think you accidentally put Lincoln in the best category. He's burning right now

No, that was deliberate. Lincoln running it in an authoritarian rightist way was based, regardless of what a foulmouthed moron from Arizona thinks.

I doubt Lincoln is in Hell; he's a notable historical example of an atheist turned Christian. Interestingly, the day he was killed, he reportedly told his wife he wanted to visit the Holy Land. Wouldn't surprise me if he really did, though it wasn't Israel.

Pretty much hold everything hostage with a Recess I think, right? The precedent has been set and that's how I understand things will happen, based on what I remember from here. Someone else can probably clarify and explain better.

This is the reasoning behind the "he might have broken the law in firing the Biden swamp creatures." Supposedly the law states that he can't do it for 4 months after taking office. However, the Acting AG can, since they're not taking office like the rest of his admin and thus the time limit doesn't count for them.

Their own fucking around with his appointments and cabinet choices gave him someone who is immune to the 4 month rule. So instead of having 4 months to find some way to solidify their hold, protect themselves, set up contingency plans, sabotogue shit, or find something to distract and waste his time... they're fired, tonight, at the end of the first week, while everyone's still reeling, while they probably were just getting started with whatever bullshit lawfare they could find to fuck with his admin and the American agenda.

Rod D. Martin
🚨BREAKING: Inside the MASSIVE Trump DOJ shake-up you need to know about. A thread that will blow your mind...

Let me tell you what's REALLY happening behind closed doors at DOJ right now. 20+ career officials SIDELINED overnight. This is just the beginning...

🔥 BOMBSHELL: Trump's team isn't waiting for Senate confirmations. They're moving NOW, pushing out long-time prosecutors who've been there for YEARS.

These are people who've been politicizing "justice" for years. No longer. The Merrick Garland Reign of Terror is OVER.

The purge is hitting EVERY major division:

- Criminal Division ❌
- National Security ❌
- International Affairs ❌

Here's the GENIUS part: They found a LOOPHOLE to make this stick.

Federal regulations generally protect career employees from being reassigned for at least 120 days after new leadership takes over.

But Pam Bondi hasn't been confirmed yet. The firings come from the ACTING AG 🤯
IT GETS EVEN BETTER: Ed Martin - yes, the STOP THE STEAL organizer - is now DC's acting US attorney.

Let that sink in.

🚨 Martin's record:

- Leader of Eagle Forum
- Wants TOTAL abortion ban
- Zero exceptions for rape/incest
- Fought to expose and stop the 2020 election fraud
- Defended J6 political prisoners

Meanwhile in NY: John Durham's SON (yes, THAT John Durham) takes over EDNY.

Dad investigated the origins of the Russia Collusion Hoax. Son has gone after illegal aliens, including MS-13 gang members.

Meanwhile, the all-important SDNY gets Danielle Sassoon - the prosecutor who took down Sam Bankman-Fried and prominent sex traffickers. She even clerked for Justice Scalia!

At least SOMEONE has a real track record

But wait, it gets better. The FBI shake-up is just beginning. And even before Kash Patel arrives, it's getting WILD...

🔥 Tom Ferguson, who worked for Jim Jordan on investigating the Weaponization of government, is BACK at the FBI. He spent 22 years there before joining Team Jordan.

A LOOK at Ferguson's LinkedIn reveals:

- He hates "woke" ideology
- Fights socialism
- Says FBI "forgot their oath"

Now he's BACK IN CHARGE as part of the FBI's new leadership.

Christopher Wray? GONE

Paul Abbate? RETIRED

The people who weaponized law "enforcement" against half the country are falling like dominoes

This is what draining the swamp looks like in real time. As I've been telling you all week, heads are finally rolling. The Deep State tried to kill Trump, and he's taking no prisoners this time.

🔥 The TRUTH: This isn't just a shake-up. It's a complete OVERHAUL of our justice system. It's the only way to restore equal justice. It's long overdue.

And we're watching it happen in real time.
