"Trump is a vehicle of divine Providence", said Bannon, as a cloud of flies buzzed around him, feeding upon his rotting, reanimated flesh
Former Trump advisor Steve Bannon says Trump is "gonna get" an unconstitutional 3rd term and that there's a "plan" to make it happen. "We have to finish what we started," Bannon said, adding that Trump "is an instrument of divine will."
Bannon Says Trump Will Run for an Unconstitutional 3rd Term Because 'He's a Vehicle of Divine Providence'
"Their plan to overturn the constitution and democracy," warned journalist Mehdi Hasan. "They’re not hiding it. They’re bragging about it."

We must come to terms with the fact that it was a huge mistake to leave the online world largely unchecked, and that we urgently need to deal with a fragmented, radicalized and instrumentalized reality in many countries simultaneously and take action instead of remaining in shock or relativization.

Musk: "The waste and fraud in entitlement spending -- that's the big one to eliminate. That's the half trillion, maybe 600 or 700 billion a year. That's also the mechanism by which Democrats attract & retain illegal immigrants by essentially paying them to come here & then turning them into voters."
