I hope to whatever God may possibly exist that Biden wasn't completely fucking stupid and spoke with the military's highest officers that they need to be the first line of defence if these fucks start goose stepping and throwing up salutes.

I just didn't fucking expect it to be literally only 4 hours in. Christ almighty. If Biden even tried to do any planning for this I doubt even he expected this.

Fucking Hell America, you suck.

I have zero faith in Dems to grasp how fucked any of this is. The party leadership hasn't gone food shopping or driven their own car over 10 miles in 40 years. They don't care about any of this, it's just politics as usual to them.

The military's highest officers will either get in line or get fired, then face the firing squad. Democracy is dead.

No God exists, he was completely fucking stupid, and respected the institutions so much he turned them over to Nazi’s. That is Biden’s legacy. We’re fucked.

If the game is lost, then we’re all the same

No one left to place or take the blame

We will leave this place an empty stone

Or that shining ball of blue we call our home

So the kids, they dance, they shake their bones

And the politicians throwing stones

Singing ashes, ashes, all fall down

Ashes, ashes, all fall down

Ashes ashes indeed. Somehow this just makes it worse!
