    Any man who has to say “I am the king” is no true king.

    Ask people who posted Charlie Kirk quotes after his death how “free” the US is.

      Trump has had to insist I am the president at least twice now.

      But we knew from the beginning he was never a true president of the United States. The war with Iran, the reflecting pool affair, the Great American State Fair all serve as parables so spot on, it’s difficult to believe they’re not fiction.

        “Trampling on your supposed rights is okay because the taxpayer will foot the bill” isn’t really the flex you think it is.

          What it is, is a lawless confederation of incompetent fascists who thought they would strike a blow for - whatever the fuck they think they’re doing - and American court systems under American law decided - by juried Americans, just to bring it all home - that they were dead wrong.

          So if you think someone getting fired for tweeting ‘Charlie Kirk gargles donkeyballs’ is proof that Americans aren’t “free” then - Nope.
