Bloomberg, who is a longtime friend of Trump’s, who believes almost all the same things he does, is being encouraged by the DNC and legacy media to do everything he can to buy this election.
Trump will talk about how “Little Mike” doesn’t think you should have soda or cigarettes and he will win 48 states. But, as the saying goes, “liberals hate socialists more than fascists.”

Remember how Democrats spent the last 3 years insisting that some Russian social media posts swung the election and represented the gravest electoral interference imaginable? And now we have state party officials in Iowa *literally* changing vote totals.

Perhaps the vampires running the child concentration camps will offer some sort of two-for-one deal on internment camps for citizens of Iranian background. Anything to cut overhead, right? At least this way there will finally be adults present to care for all the separated children. The Land of the Free, and the Home of the Brave.
Hedges is well known in left circles, but for those who may not know, in addition to his journalistic bona fides, he is also an ordained Presbyterian minister. His thoughts on this particular strain of Protestantism are worth considering.
Trigger warning: criticism of Christianity
While most of us agree that Trump is loathsome, it is important to remember that the cops, and especially the spooks, are not your friends.
