39. Alito's Overreach will be the Beginning of the End of the Movement Conservative's attempted Coup.

Wed May 11, 2022, 11:28 AM

May 2022

Mark my words.

The summer of 2022 is going to rival 1968's Summer of Discontent.

The Fight to Save Our Democracy is not over, it has just begun - but Alito has handed the Righteous Sane Progressive Majority the ammunition it needs to take to the streets and make itself heard by the M$M.

And just wait until the 1/6 Public Hearings start.

And if Musk DOES get to run Twitter, TFG's comeback there is going to be a disaster for the Racists.

Buckle up and get your popcorn ready, it's going to be one hell of a ride.
