Now hear this!

Why on earth should anyone be required to show proof of citizenship to someone wearing a mask who isn’t required to show proof that they are law enforcement?

That is all.

"There is no legal requirement that US citizens carry papers or have proof of their citizenship on them.”

That the ICE and BORDER PATROL GESTAPO, would merely take them and destroy them, saying the people never presented them.
Knowing full well, that if the person was actually proven later to be a citizen of the U.S......that they would have a difficult time obtaining new duplicates of the their citizenship.........

Next thing coming....... will be tattooing numbers on all of our arms, or modern day technique of microchipping all of us like our pets......

By their logic, we should all wear labels that say CITIZEN and then they'd know we're not the ones they're looking for.

McConnell and his refusal to do the right thing in Trump's 2nd Impeachment is the main reason that Trump was able to do everything he has since then... a conviction and removal from future eligibility was the LEAST acceptable outcome and McConnell gave cover to GOP bastards to not vote to convict citing civil courts for justice in that matter.

FUCK THE TURTLE TOO!!!!

This has been a coordinated attack on Dems that has gone on for years and had the help of Putin. Trump is a Russian asset.

We had our own trolls here ie Manny Goldstein (PPR) and WillyT (PPR), who has returned here multiple times, to name a couple. They sowed division and hate.

A lot happened long before Garland took office and continued after he was there. A lot of outside assets were doing their best to destroy us.

Yet, one is going to be assaulted by the goons either way.... The media is complacent in this crime as they are enabling the view of normal expectations by this behavior...We must resist...
