  1. Neo is the One's avatar Neo is the One

    Saw a Tucker what is Brandon going to campaign on besides the dastardly and dreadful Christian Nationalism (gasp!) to replace Trumputinhitler stole my teddybear at the Moscow pee pee suite?

    It said overall cradle to grave mortality is decreasing in the glorious New Civility egalitarian equality of results for all workers utopia.

    Is that what the Replacement “new comers” are for?

    Taxable serf units and butts in the seats of pews for Religions Incorporated (h/t-Lenny Bruce) to fill the collection plate because God just ran out of money?

    They could be used for cannon fodder but what would they get out of it that they don’t already have, or the civilian corps just as strong as the military that Barry spoke of in Year Zero of the glorious it’s gonna work this time Fundamental Transformation.

  2. Watching Dr. Phil interviewing Eagle Pass rancher who has “newcomers” on the porch at 3AM asking for some beers and a woman had her foot cut off by a train she was trying to jump on and bled in her truck for six hours.

    Their fence has been cut 77 times and they have to lease land in Oklahoma to raise cattle.

    My name’s not Grinch and I do not like this Fundamental Transformation.

    Lock and load.
