ReplyDeleteLook
It's a coup
They're tyrants
We cannot avoid dealing with this issue
They're declaring parents who question CRT taught to their children as terrorists, while the AGs wife sells CRT material with clear conflict of interest
It's so bad that people don't want to accept this reality
You really think you get to vote yourself out of this?
No way
They cannot, for whatever reason (m.y guess is crimes and corruption) allow another president like trump
They're guilty as fck and act like it
All the things they do
It's tyranny
If you let them go on, you'll live under communism or Marxism by 2030
I warned you so many times on this blog. What else can I do
Your healthcare system is already moving to communism, an equity based system they call it
ReplyDeleteThey'll murder you for your beliefs and are already well under way
If you do not stand up and remain silent they might win
And then...
If you think the covid camps are for health. ..
Please wake up
I think something was tailing the Connecticut.
ReplyDeleteGood thing we only built 3 of them. "Too expensive," and "Not needed now" is what we heard at the time. If we had built 10 more or so, we'd be ruling the seas for at least another decade, maybe two. Gotta love that legendary congressional foresight. The F-22 is another case in point.
ReplyDelete5:27: Don't forget the B-2 Spirit stealth bomber, of which only 21 were made, 20 or 30 less than should have been built. Then there's the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS), which after billions spent they're still trying to figure out what to use them for. In fact, a few have already been retired after little more than a decade in service. But we're still building them. F'ing brilliant.
ReplyDeleteThis sub also has bed bugs.Probably hit a non explosive mine.
