Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

THIS IS WHAT A CULT LOOKS LIKE
This in an apocalyptic doomsday cult that wants your money and believes in talking snakes.
They worship an antichrist who celebrates greed, cruelty, infidelity, vengeance, fear, and hate, and they reject every message of the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

Alfred Hitchcock kept Sealyham Terriers and sometimes used them in his films when he did his cameo roles. This still is from his classic "The Birds".

Trump is badly losing the war over ICE, not just on the streets, but also in the culture. As Bad Bunny shows, this has become a culture war unto itself. Trump-MAGA's initial hubris has been utterly deflated.

MAGA’s hatred of the Super Bowl halftime performer reflects a hubris about what parts of the culture are “theirs.” But those assumptions are proving more wrong every day.
