Based on his argument, every single insurrectionist should have been executed on January 6, 2021.

The same people who believed mandating mask wearing was federal overreach now push extrajudicial killings.

America is sick.

American Samoans, unique among *everyone* born in US states or territories, are denied US citizenship.

That means they are banned from voting.

That's made some a target of vicious GOP prosecution for fraud; even if they were told incorrect info from public officials.

War is indeed, a racket. Cheney, Rumsfeld, and the Bush family made a fortune off American blood. Domestic policy is a racket too. Schumer made a killing off foreclosed real-estate in 2008 while decrying the very thing he was investing in. Maybe we should keep a closer eye on our politicians. 🤷‍♂️
