Fascinating stuff, Alex Jones feat. Roger Stone.

Watching this video I am not sure whether to laugh or cry.

It’s scary, hilarious and mind blowing at the same time, especially when considering how many people consider this basement television show a legitimate news source.

President Trump told two senior Russian officials in a 2017 Oval Office meeting that he was unconcerned about Moscow’s interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election because the United States did the same in other countries

Our great democracy was intended to maintain an AMERICAn GREATness that, since 1865, has gradually unraveled, thus negating and rendering invalid the very constitutional protections intended to maintain that status quo. What's wrong with the word plantation? Until we can Make America Great Again, we must suspend the Constitution where necessary. Everything but the Second Amendment, deputizing law abiding citizens to bring about LAW & ORDER with the people's own hands, into which the law will be taken. The First Amendment doesn't work anymore, prohibiting truth and religion in the name of "science" and FAKE NEWS lies.

Just trying to figure out how it's rationalized. Couldn't come up with anything better.

I think that is where it is at right now... not a good look, IMO.

Is he hinting that he'd like to have the 22nd amendment changed? Fine, let's elect Obama again.

And dems living in urban areas (or so he thought).
A lot of what we call 'thought' is just mental activity

When you are accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression

Those who are convinced of absurdities, can be convinced to commit atrocities

Re the hysterectomy story, while I have no actual information supporting this,
it would not surprise me in the slightest if Stephen Miller didn’t have something to do
with this. It may not turn out to be the case but it it sounds like something he would
want done.

The problem with Trump as president is he multiplies the problem with Trump as president. He appoints people for important positions that are... let's call them what they are... f'n morons - like Barr who don't appear to realize they are... f'n morons. Btw, Barr might be the f'n'st moron of the entire crew of f'n morons, because he clearly thinks very highly of himself while clearly being... an incredibly arrogant f'n moron.

So taxpayer money and US Government resources are being used to defend Trump in what's basically a rape case? :banghead:

This is one of the most blatant abuses of the DOJ by Trump.

If nothing else he sets the culture that allows this.

At this point this looks relatively isolated, but also a part of system that tolerates and covers up abuse.
