“Donald Trump is nothing less than a threat to the American way of life. His term in office comprises an existential threat to the republic, the gravest since the Civil War. Not since 1860 has the future of the Union itself been in such doubt.”

[THREAD]

1/ I wrote that in DIRTY RUBLES the spring of 2018. This—right here, right now—is what I was worried about—although I will confess that things have gotten scarier and uglier than I could ever have imagined.
2/ On 1/6, we came within a hair’s breadth of a full-on overthrow of our federal government. This is not hyperbole. Trump & his disciples organized, instigated, and carried out a coordinated attack on the Capitol, for the purpose of subverting democracy. People died.
3/ This is NOT time for business as usual. We have to IMMEDIATELY discard outmoded forms of thinking to get through the next eight days. Hard ball. Here. Now.
4/ Calls for “unity” from Republican collaborators are cynical & hallow. Unite with the United States, or join the Trump insurrection. There is no middle ground. You’re with America, or you’re with Trump. Period.
5/ The GOP in league with Trump are the same fuckers we’ve been calling out for four years: Matt Gaetz, Jim Jordan, Devin Nunes, Kevin McCarthy, Elise Stefanik, Ron Johnson, Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Lindsey Graham, etc. Expulsion from public office, at a minimum, for these traitors.
6/ There can be no talk of “turning the page” after 1/20. The way to heal is to round up the traitors, prosecute them, and punish them to the fullest extent of the law. No clemency for domestic terrorists, secessionists, or Trump collaborators.
7/ There is no good reason for Joe Biden to be sworn in on the Capitol steps. Secure location. Speech. Directly to work. The argument about “projecting strength” is fatuous. We are under attack, and the enemy runs the Secret Service until noon on 1/20.
8/ We are impeaching the mobster-in-chief for a second time. Good. Anyone who votes against this, in the House or the Senate, should bear the ignominiousness stain of that treachery for the rest of their days.

WE ARE UNDER ATTACK FFS.
9/ The media needs to continue to rise to the occasion. Those networks still broadcasting lies need to be sued into oblivion come January. There was no “steal” of the election. Covid-19 is real. Masks work. Anyone saying otherwise is a propaganda-spewing traitor.
Stay safe, my friends. Take a break if you need to. Catch your breath. Exercise. Pray.

The barbarians are at the gates. But I remain unswerving in my belief that WE SHALL PREVAIL!

I don't normally do threads like this but I did want to provide some deeper thoughts on the below and why having a video game based on a real world war crime from the same people that received CIA funding isn't the best idea.

This will go pretty in depth FYI.


The core reason why I'm doing this thread is because:

1. It's clear the developers are marketing the game a certain way.

2. This is based on something that actually happened, a war crime no less. I don't have issues with shooter games in general ofc.

Firstly, It's important to acknowledge that the Iraq war was an illegal war, based on lies, a desire for regime change and control of resources in the region.

These were lies that people believed and still believe to this day.

It's also important to mention that the action taken by these aggressors is the reason there was a battle in Fallujah in the first place. People became resistance fighters because they were left with nothing but death and destruction all around them after the illegal invasion.

This is where one of the first red flags comes up.

The game is very much from an American point of view, as shown in the description.

When it mentions Iraqi civilians, it doesn't talk about them as victims, but mentions them as being pro US, fighting alongside them.

Once upon a time there was a Raja named Uttānapāda born of Svayambhuva Manu,1st man on earth.He had 2 beautiful wives - Suniti & Suruchi & two sons were born of them Dhruva & Uttama respectively.
#talesofkrishna https://t.co/E85MTPkF9W


Now Suniti was the daughter of a tribal chief while Suruchi was the daughter of a rich king. Hence Suruchi was always favored the most by Raja while Suniti was ignored. But while Suniti was gentle & kind hearted by nature Suruchi was venomous inside.
#KrishnaLeela


The story is of a time when ideally the eldest son of the king becomes the heir to the throne. Hence the sinhasan of the Raja belonged to Dhruva.This is why Suruchi who was the 2nd wife nourished poison in her heart for Dhruva as she knew her son will never get the throne.


One day when Dhruva was just 5 years old he went on to sit on his father's lap. Suruchi, the jealous queen, got enraged and shoved him away from Raja as she never wanted Raja to shower Dhruva with his fatherly affection.


Dhruva protested questioning his step mother "why can't i sit on my own father's lap?" A furious Suruchi berated him saying "only God can allow him that privilege. Go ask him"
