The good thing about flag-shagging 'patriots' is that they are so monumentally thick that they film themselves committing racially aggravated criminal damage and post it on the internet, making it nice and easy for the police to find them.

If a president wanted to become effectively a dictator, he’d likely:
1. Purge govt of non loyalists
2. Weaponize law against opponents
3. Use military to police opposition strongholds
4. Threaten media, schools, businesses w penalties to get them to heel
5. Change election rules in his favor.

Walmart spent $35.3B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024, enough to give each of its 2.2M employees annual bonuses of $2,719.
Last year, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay of just $29,469.

Normally, the Department of Justice rewards witnesses for turning on co-defendants, co-conspiracists, and accomplices.
Ghislaine Maxwell is probably the first witness rewarded for *absolving* them. Because she is part of a coverup, not a prosecution.
