As one of the commenters on Ig pointed out, "What an oddly specific number." 🤔  đŸ¤Ž

@MaryAustinBooks I feel like there's some kind of saying that pertains to this, "You live by the sword..."

It's escaping me now.

@RickiTarr
I don't think they could finish that for you. Too busy reading Mein Kampf instead of the Gospel.
@MaryAustinBooks @RickiTarr More Nazi fog horns from my picture file titled “GOP Nazis” I can never figure out if they’re just massively obtuse and clumsy or if they think they’re being clever.
#GOP #NAZI

@Pineywoozle @MaryAustinBooks @RickiTarr People have been saying that *Kirk murder was their Reichstag Brand" and I mean, that was when the Nazis staged that someone else had done something and they got an excuse to round up all the opposition party politicians, organised union leadership and so on.

like USA is not there. yet? because if GOP are mentioning it, I can´t help but hear the threat.

@thierna @MaryAustinBooks @RickiTarr Oh they would love a Reichstag moment. We just aren’t gonna let them have one.

@Pineywoozle @MaryAustinBooks @RickiTarr I so hope you are right.

the problem is, all the accusations after the Reichstag fire was all staged. they can stage whatever they want.
or maybe not.

maybe the epstein files will help. maybe resistance will.

@thierna @Pineywoozle @RickiTarr
The only people dumb enough to be fooled by that are experiencing FAFO with the economy and basic services. Hard core cultists will still worship Trump after he's dead and we've had Nuremberg 2.0. Thankfully we don't need to convert them. We just need to convert everyone else. Some combination of moral horror and economic shock will do the trick.

And yeah, Epstein's not going away. This is hilarious, but true.

@thierna @MaryAustinBooks @RickiTarr resistance absolutely will and not letting them wiggle out of the Epstein files is the type of safe resistance everyone can & should engage in.
@Pineywoozle @thierna @RickiTarr
Lordy, yes, that's why you see so many bridge trolls (like I've been) dropping banners about Epstein. Freakin' everybody honks for that.
