    This is bait. People are behaving too well or outright trolling as protestors so he’s looking to foment other acts to create a good excuse for social media.

    Noem went to Portland for one reason: to get better film for social media, that which would potentially make ice look better while making Portland look worse.

    She travels with this setup, always. She is a bit like Speer in this iteration.

    Check out Noem’s postings of the Chicago apartment attack. It looks like the trailer for a movie.

      Yep. The classic authoritarian move to try and foment enough violence for obvious military action to be largely condoned

    Flag burning is illegal in a lot of western countries, but generally no one gives a fuck including the police. Like, it can be illegal to drink in a public place, but everyone’s in the park enjoying a picnic or BBQ and some beers or wine. No one cares until you start urinating on other people’s picnic blankets.
