Andrew and Tristan Tate have apparently arrived in Florida, after their Romanian travel restrictions were lifted.

      The bar was raised while Tate was in Romania. He’s gonna have to step it up to fit in now. A couple of swastika neck tattoos ought to do it.

      You may be on to something. maybe there’s a branigan’s law about rapists and pedophiles in Florida. Once you hit a certain limit the state just stops accepting new ones.

      Send tate to florida. Then get out a saw, and cut Florida away and into the Ocean. Then use ropes to connect Hawaii and Alaska to the mainland.

      Now you can claim that only connected states can be states. Also, international no fly, no sail zone 300 miles around florida at any time. No one leaves.

            Sorry for the misunderstanding. I’m not calling out people based on their county. I just pulled an electoral map because it’s a quick way to point out that Florida is potentially a purple state. It’s got a lot of people supporting civil rights and other progressive goals. I don’t want to see it sawed off and abandoned to its gerrymandered leadership. That’s what I was trying to communicate.

          Well, the hilarious thing is, that DeSantis can side with the state’s rights crew of NY, Maine, Washington, California so far, and he could also have his attorney generals or other people mess with Trump legally for taxes or other issues, eg Mar A Lago. He actually very much could be a headache for Trump just like he was for Disney.

      Well, their recruitment along with the Silk Road guy is all part of Trump’s plans to start massive human trafficking and drug trafficking organizations. He needs their expertise in human trafficking so he forced Romania to let them come here.

      The current node for human trafficking, to help cover where people are being sent, is Guantanamo (and Panama). That’s Ron’s old stomping grounds. And while I think he’s cool with torture of “terrorists,” he’s not so into mass rape of women, egg farming, genocide to grave rob America. I think he also got freaked out by the Les Miserable song at the Governor’s Ball (he cowered) and all the loud loud pushback he’s experiencing from people calling in constantly to complain and also the protests.

      Or maybe he’s just mad they took the spot he wanted.

          Does Qanon cite NPR? NBC? Do you know how to tell what a reputable source is?

          Ever think QAnon was a psyop to muddy the waters for THESE fucking plans? QAnon started in 2017, around the time Manafort was arrested for Russian collusion with the Trump campaign

          https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trials_of_Paul_Manafort#:~:text=release their names.-,Verdict,disclose a foreign bank account.

          Putin had time and a lot of resources to plan this. The CIA files alone being clawed through by Tulsi (a known Russian asset) likely are deeply personal to him and may even mention him, friends, or old enemies. There’s mountains of evidence from reputable people (not something obviously fake like QAnon), which I have linked in my original post.

          Like idk man, it’s just denial on your part here. I hope what’s coming doesn’t surprise you too hard.
