Bagged air! That’s right - bagged air. Think of the MAGA’a in Arizona, OK, TX, Arkansas, and other strongholds being DEPRIVED of a chance to, “OWN THE LIBS”. For only $49.95 plus S & H (per week/$199.95 per month), you can have baggies of genuine “WOKE SMOKE” sent to your door. Order extra to insure your continued huffing pleasure. Just include bank information (don’t do this) and check off how often you’re willing to contribute to “OWN THE LIBS, LLC”.

A fantastic chance to open your own business, operate from home, cash in your spare time.

I wonder if this can be used as “Exhibit A” when the prosecution asks that bail be denied.

I hope a huge, armed crowd shows up. The hypothetical will become _real_– real fast. The question is, will DeSantis call in the National Guard?

Biden might have the opportunity to emulate past presidents by nationalizing the Florida National Guard. “Okay, fellas, now you work for me. Clear the MAGAts out.”

Is there anyone here who reads the MAGA social media enough-- strictly research!-- to know if anything is in the wind to happen at the courthouse?
