“O impeccable Tisroc”, said the Vizier, “In comparison with you I love neither the prince nor my own life nor bread nor water nor the light of the sun.”

If these rioters had any sense left in their addled heads, they would notice that for all that Trump talks praise about them, he never lifts a finger to help anyone who gets screwed by doing what he wanted.
After a positive jobs report, and addressing George Floyd’s death he said “Hopefully George is looking down right now and saying, ‘this is a great thing that’s happening for our country.’ This is a great day for him. It’s a great day for everybody. This is a great day for everybody.

Well, it did.
Until you convict those responsible, it will happen again, and the body count
will be much higher next time around.
By endorsing the lie and the insurrection that followed, Republicans are now committed
ideologically to Trumpism.
Yes, the stupid it burns, and also, kills~
Shittiest. Cameo. Ever.
