He cuts a deal on planet killing methane.
Now his team is walking.

Yep, the Supreme Court really is just a House of Lords—a purely political branch with bizarre veto power, wielded capriciously and without accountability. Time for massive reform.

Simply amazing that the Supreme Court declared an end to legal race discrimination in the affirmative action case two years ago and now allows overt racism in both immigration arrests and redistricting.

Using race to help minorities? Bad. Using it to discriminate against them? Very, very good.

Note that Roger Stone refers to Prospera, the Network State city in Honduras, as a "freedom city."

Trump wants to build ten of these cities on federal land, and Stone makes it clear that these fascist cities are, indeed, the Network State.
Why Did Trump Pardon the Former Honduran President? Follow the Tech Bros.

“Próspera is an example of the tech-right concept of the network state, a phrase coined by Silicon Valley venture capitalist Balaji Srinivasan.”
