When we said there was NOTHING the Supreme Court wouldn't let him do, we heard some bullshit about how we were wrong

About how certainly they wouldn’t give him fucking immunity, they wouldn’t overturn Roe v Wade, we just didn’t know what we were talking about when we said they would. 😡

And then JUST the other DAY some of you tried to tell us they won’t reverse Gay marriage

Is there anything else anyone wants to tell us that they won’t do that this Supreme Court won’t go over that line?

Yeah I am really pissed. No sorry change that, WE ARE PISSED😡

2. The rulebook is gone. The top players on the leaderboard have all agreed to cheat and the judges will help them.

It is so sad to see so many patriots say "THEY can't do that. It would be illegal/violate regulations/break precedence."

The new rule for this Administration is simple: Do as thy will shall be the whole of the law.

The old rules no longer apply, as there is no one to enforce them.

3. I have a very good very smart friend on Facebook who points out

That it is illegal to use the military against American citizens or even against immigrants etc. and I have to just point out to him and he already knows this of course that doesn’t matter anymore, they will just do what they want and that’s a fact.

But I get it, Hillary Clinton wouldn’t guarantee Medicare for all so people had to trash her nonstop all of 2016 and then here we are!😡

10. Not sure why "Hillary Clinton wouldn't guarantee Medicare for all so people had to trash her nonstop" is the reason.

I haven't heard that. I'll admit I canvassed for Bernie but when Hillary was the candidate, she was my absolute pick.

4. I think people are having a hard time believing that this could happen

Our government and culture and way of life has been so big. I don’t think people can wrap their head around the fact that it can be turned on a dime like this.

It is happening right now, in the moment. So unless people are living in caves, the evidence is all around us.

We were warned in explicit terms of what they (Project 2025) were going to do and the blitzkrieg to follow. The Plan was written down. The creators boasted about a second, bloodless revolution (if Democrats didn't get in the way). The creators were only torn from the stage when the polls indicated how wildly unpopular The Plan truly was. And then, of course, Trump lied, said he knew nothing about it.

Short of being punched in the gut, Americans knew and were warned repeatedly. At this point if Americans do not see what's going on, it's because they're willfully blind. Or secretly gleeful.

Never forget, never forgive.

I read Project 2025 prior to the ‘24 election. It was available to all online. I wonder how many others did so.

wipes his ass with Constitution hands it over to the Supreme Court and they do note the smell but then shrug and say well he is the President.

It's actually happening earlier than I thought it would, but it's here, it's happening, and all people, but especially young women, need to listen up. You think it can't happen? Yeah, right...
