You alright there, US?

No. No, we are not even close to OK.

But! This isn't close to the worst yet!

Though I acknowledge that the "worst yet" is at the bottom of a cliff, and it looks like we're running out of cliff edge.

I'd say send help... but tangerine Palpatine would probably nuke someone for that....

400 more traitors.

Setting the stage for a "Boston Massacre" event. Somebody's going to do something stupid, and then...

I don't think it will be. It will be a false flag. The regime is livid that they can't provoke opposition to violence.

I don't live anywhere close to a big city. But I hope the people in these areas are still in the mindset of "don't shoot first, but there are more of us than them."

I also hope they've been emptying certain parts of hardware stores for a bit.

Every single US citizen in DC should be screaming "NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION". Are we going to need another tea party or some shit?

Next headline will be about a NG performing a ND.

Troops on the streets shooting citizens?

We got a word for that.

And a solution.
