85. Not to justify cold blooded murder, but seems to me
Wed Dec 11, 2024, 03:42 PM
Wednesday

there are "dark corners" aplenty in America.

Hell, in some dark corners, nearly half of the electorate turned out to empower an adjudicated rapist and convicted felon who lied to America about a deadly pandemic, incited an armed insurrection to overthrow the results of a free and fair election, and promised to be a dictator, from day ONE.

A Hitler praising 'patriot' who accused immigrants of eating the cats and the dogs, and poisoning the blood.

In some dark corners, they are planning on replacing government employees with loyalists and sycophants, militarizing the police, deploying the military against Americans, and building concentration camps.

In some dark corners they are working to trash Social security, Medicare, and yes, HEALTHCARE.

Working to undermine consumer protections, and offering billion dollar promises (correction... BRIBES) to industry and corporations to TRASH all regulations.

In some dark corners, they are covering up the increases in female deaths due to denied emergency prenatal care, planning on wiping out Medicaid,

and privatizing education, replacing public schools with schools teaching fundamental Christian based, right winged ideology, all funded at taxpayer's expense.

In some dark corners, they've sought to criminalize homelessness and have refused free lunch programs for CHILDREN.

Dark corners aplenty.
