Some scripture, a whole bunch of names (some in blue), a few headshots, and a bunch of arrows pointing to Trump. I didn’t see Giuliani’s name, so he’s ghosted. No mention of laws, nothing from the Constitution, no faux equations to look authentic. It’s like they think all they need are living ingredients that will mix themselves. End result would look something like this: > **[World War Z (2013)](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0816711/mediaviewer/rm191211264/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk)** > > World War Z (2013) ---

It’s terrible how the left persecute people by not letting them persecute people, and refuse to tolerate other people’s intolerance. They’re the real fascists here! > [@eschereal](#): > > What a terrible world it would be if we could not freely be shitheads. > [@CalMeacham](#): > > It’s not necessarily optional; some people simply have no choice. True, it’s unfair to discriminate against people for intrinsic characteristics. ---

Republican platform: [“Eighteen more months of chaos and the inability to get stuff done. That’s what we want.”](https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/07/politics/chip-roy-democratic-obstruction-2022/index.html) Well, at least they are being honest in saying they have been elected to obstruct, cause chaos and do nothing. The mystery is why voters keep putting them in government when they have explicitly said that they have no intention of doing anything. ---

> [@Rick\_Kitchen](#): > > National Review is whining that liberal women don’t want to have sex with them. Reminds me of a long list, “The differences between Republicans and Democrats.” It was light-hearted with entries like, _Democrats read their porn at home, alone while Republicans form censorship boards and read it in groups._ The one that’s relevant here: _Democrat boys date Democrat girls. So do Republican boys; they’re going to marry Republican women but they want to have some fun first._ ---
