The revelations of the past 24 hours

revealing Chump’s use of the DOJ to investigate Democratic politicians cements the nightmare that, if had won in 2020, he would have gone the full Putin.

It's not magnetism.

It's MAGATISM.

The tractor beam that bonds every Reich Wing whack job in the country.

Hey 1% Parent Grifters

Yeah I see you. To guarantee the educational "survival" of your spawn you will do anything to get them into a prestige college or university. What does that mean. Let's see. Let's begin with getting your undeserving progeny into the best private schools, hire tutors, pay for bogus resume enhancing internships, private athletic lessons, bribe college officials, fake disability to game the testing process, get others to take those tests using fake identities, use alumni connections, and when all else fails, buy a building in your name. All of this because you will do anything to guarantee educational survival for your children.

Migrant parents will cross borders, brave murder and rape, ride trains risking falling under the wheels, risk exploitation, defy border guards, and when all else fails, let their children go in order to try improve their children's, not educational survival, but true survival.

So when the rich say protect the border.

Fuck you and your grifter spawn.

Rod Carew

In 1972 he led the AL in batting with a .318 average.

Also, he didn't hit a single HR.

Reich Wing Thug Plea Deal taking shape

https://www.cnn.com/2021/06/03/politics/capitol-riot-plea-deals/index.html

snip:

When the Justice Department was ready to set the tone for hundreds of its US Capitol riot cases, it looked to a working-class Floridian who had gone into the Senate chamber with the crowd for 15 minutes on January 6.

I read the entire article and then came across this at the end.

snip:
Following the riot, Hodgkins started going to a Baptist church regularly, his attorney said. Leduc also says Hodgkins is an Eagle Scout and regularly volunteers with charities.
"January 6 may go down as the greatest thing that ever happened to him. On January 6, he didn't know Jesus. He's getting to know him now," Leduc said.

Using Jesus as a human shield. I predict we will hear a lot of this in the coming months.

With regards to the Former Guy reinstatement claims, in that light,

I got robbed in High School baseball game on a close call at the plate.

I want that win back. And the umpire to apologize. And an audit of the official scorebooks.

Only fair.
