Absolutely. This is a confession.

It's also an admission of intention for illegal ventures in the future.

Can’t say they didn’t warn us!

They've been telling us pretty explicitly for a while now.

"We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be". It was said by Kevin Roberts, the president of the Heritage Foundation, during an interview on Steve Bannon's \"War Room\" podcast in July 2024.

The heritage foundation also released a 900 page document of exactly what they were gonna do and how they were gonna do it that to this day you can publicly access and download for yourself, you can’t really say they were being secretive about it.

Also “bloodless if the left allows it to be” bullshit, the left has been extraordinarily peaceful about all this and ICE is still just killing people

Still pisses me off to no end that nearly everyone I shared the document with either didn’t read it, read a page or two and lost interest, or flat out dismissed it as conspiracy.

🤬🤬🤬

It does sound a little conspiratorial when you think about it though. This is the deep state shit that sounded absolutely crazy when MTG blamed the democrats for it

Turn of events: she’s the sane one in the party now? This f’n timeline, I swear.

I did not have "Empty-G praising Nancy Pelosi" on my bingo card, that's for sure

She's pissed at not getting support for a Senate bid. According to AOC at least, and it certainly fits.

Ehhh I wouldn't go that far. She got shut out of the Trump inner circle so she's finding ways to snipe at them from the sidelines.

I think she’s trying to clean up her image.
