"Texas will work tirelessly to make sure that we eliminate all rapists from the streets of Texas by aggressively going out and arresting them and prosecuting them and getting them off the streets.” [—Governor Greg Abbott] Dude probably thinks all rapes are done by street gangs… and date rape isn’t a thing. ---

> [@Biotop](#): > > Trump should be OK as long as he doesn’t check his watch. - Yeah, his fans would turn on him on a dime. Such sticklers for respect for others! In actual fact: Donald will almost certainly spew some ugly insult about people who lost family on 9/11-----and get rave reviews for the comment on all the Deplorable channels and radio shows (those who haven’t lost their hosts to COVID, anyway). ---

Two Arizona state legislators state that the audit has already shown enough evidence to prove the election should be decertified.

Saw my first “Trump/JFK Jr. 2021” flag in the wild today. Same guy I heard greeting folks with “Hello, patriot!” before. I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised, but I was, mildly. ---

IIRC, Crooked Hillary had JFK Jr. assassinated to stop him from running for president against her, but he managed to fake his death and has been hiding out until recently, when he became Q and started preparing the True Patriots for when he’s going to replace Mike Pence and arrest the Deep State. ---

Ah… I miss everything. I think a “Trump/Elvis” ticket might be more appealing to MAGAbots. The Kennedys were such Yankee libruls. ---

Y’know, it just occurred to me… if Hillary was as good at eliminating her political enemies as Republicans seem to think she was, why didn’t she just have Trump killed off early in the 2016 campaign? ---
