    He also said

    I am with you. I support you, and as president, I have your backs 100%. You’ll never see me even waver a little bit.

    Pretty easy to see which statement is true.

        We definitely know.

        Can’t do anything about it at the moment though. They’ve kept us so poor we can’t even afford to protest in a way that doesn’t put a lot of people’s livelihoods at risk.

            It’ll happen eventually. Not because everyone will finally decide it’s the patriotic thing to do, but because they have no other option.

      Not just America, if (without WHO funding) entirely containable diseases are no longer contained.

      And we’ll have a few fat, rich, old narcissists, and a staggeringly stupid western voting populace (both sides of the Atlantic), to thank for it.

      And people are still banking on our military to save us. People don’t realize how far gone genuine humanity is. We have barely been human beings for a long time. Nations are just a tool for the world’s elite Mafia of which has no loyalty to anything but the game.

      This is probably a dumb question, but what is the censored A word?

      Edit: alleged?

        It’s a double entendre. Alleged is the censored word but its purposely censored in a way to make it read “aged” if you ignore the censored letters
