The Convicted Felon stays true to pathetic form.
Y’all tired of his white/orange revenge yet?
I am.

“If you can’t run, walk. If you can’t walk, crawl.” MLK on peaceful protesting.

He removed the bust of MLK in the Oval Office for more gold shit.

He said the civil rights era was bad for white people.

He is a champion of racists who are afraid of saying these things aloud.

The Crooked Tree Poem by Cath Harrington

A noose hung like gallows on a crooked tree,
Encrusted with smite a crow did see,
A black cloak walked a tempetuous mile,
Waivering and lonely he felt beguiled,
Each step closer to fates wicked hand,
His life fell through like grains of sand,
As he reached out to that branch of coal,
He could hear the shrills of those lost poor souls,
Forever to glide through eternity,
Around that noose of the crooked tree

Cath Harrington
