This Fox thing said, "I don't care about my 401K, I believe in Donald Trump." This is what corrupt cults do to their "poorly educated" followers. They embed destructive instructions to keep the flock in line. MAGA accepts it hook line and sinker. Down to the last penny.

There's a reason why they're freaking out over what's happening to Tesla. It's working. There's a reason they're threatening absurd consequences. They need to scare you back into civility and compliance. As long as we're reluctant to cross the lines they ignore daily, they have the upper hand.

From preventing the release of Trump’s tax returns, to forcing the release of Hillary’s emails, to going soft on sentencing Jan 6 insurrectionists, Judge Boasberg is far from a ‘radical left lunatic’ as Trump claims. And he was first appointed by Bush, not Obama! Zeteo has the receipts:
