And they both peddle the same altruism smokescreen. Sociopath leader playbook.

Conversely, arresting people going paddleboarding and filling skate parks with sand was a totally sane reaction. Good thing we didn't overreact to Covid and completely fuck up the economy and the education progress of millions of children.

Your "domain experts" are often chronically incorrect sociopaths.

Let's not even get into the categorical and coordinated censorship campaign.

Shocking that people even support the covid response that happened. Much less make light through smarmy sarcastic shitposting.

Post-Covid I was shocked that skirt steak was $17/lb at my grocery store. Today it is $19/lb.

Going fishing in Canada, fishermen will just smack a walleye in the noggin with an oar, knocking it senseless, and throw it in the water a few yards from the boat. Eagles will just swoop down and grab it. Pretty interesting way to get up close an personal.

Sorry, but I work in the real world, and I see it first hand. I agree it is illegal. But someone with the power to prosecute has to care first.

Look at the bloomberg report from 2023[1]. You really think 94% hiring of non-whites was organic? Literally impossible. Calling any of this white supremacy is laughable.

Because the last administration was almost entirely focused on pushing transgender lunacy and lying about covid vaccine efficacy.

When then "insiders" are transgender ideology peddling lunatics, then give me the outsider. I don't need needlessly flowery metaphors to say that.
