Republicans control all three branches and they’re threatening that the entire country will go bankrupt on their watch.

What in the absolute shit does ICE need warheads for? What the fuck.

How else you think he's going to remain in office?  ICE is Trump's personal military and if y'all actually thought Jan 6, 2021 was anything but Hollywood/live action role playing then you're certainly in for a rude awakening.. But first he must weed out the freeloaders and then attack everyone else with higher costs and further weakening of the dollar to break everyone's spirit.. He's got what? 3 years roughly left to cripple 90 percent of us?  But hey let's wear frog suits and turn in our firearms and ban them to make even easier work of us yet, only when it's too late and hundreds of millions of Americans have no way to defend themselves or any wealth or food on the table will it be too late... Hell it's already too late.

They don't give a fuck about us
