  I'm talking about him; not maga. And, anyway, most magats would murder their children if he asked him them to do it. If you can't see that this is a classic cult, where ONLY...

  Yes I read all that. I knew about that this morning. Then I asked myself, gee, why is this happening? And then it turns out there are answers! Some of the people in Trump's cabinet have very...

  The time it took you to compose that post, you could've watched 3 minutes of the video and realized that it's authority is sound. Instead we're gonna waste our ever so valuable time...

  Neither do I. It's all in the damn video, which you can't bring yourself to watch. It's a phd economist channel not some joe rogan nonsense but okee dokee. It's not even saying...

  Watch the video, I'm tired of the histrionics and if that's all this forum is going to be, it's of no interest to me. The Bulwark crowd have been on 5-alarm fire mode for all of... 8...
