This post is not a joke.
There are #MAGA proudly talking about #Trump wearing diapers, and wearing Trump branded diapers themselves:

To contextualize, his fixer #MichaelCohen confirms Trump sh**s his pants and journalists at his trial have complained about a certain smell.

I deeply apologize, as a mentally competent American.
This cult demon has a real chance of running our country again.

So what is peaceful protest, you senile zionist fuck? Sitting at home reading a fucking book? The protests were peaceful until your pigs decided to riot. How about you stop funding and arming a fucking genocide and then talk about what’s peaceful or not, you hypocritical, genocidal jackass.

Thank you, I know that’s the problem, these were the same “children” influenced by Hamas propaganda who were in the streets cheering and celebrating when Hamas happily raped and then beheaded Israeli women, children and babies
🤷🏻♀️ These naive students do not realize that Hamas has openly set itself the goal of killing every Israeli and then everyone who is not Muslim
The toxic Hamas and Russian propaganda seems to work well 🙈

FEMA is making an example of this Florida boomtown. Locals call it ‘revenge politics.’
"The Biden administration is trying to punish Lee County for rebuilding flood-prone homes. The state’s Republican politicians are fighting back."
"FEMA’s notorious 50 percent rule stipulates that if a home in a flood zone suffers damages worth more than half its value, it must be torn down and rebuilt so it’s elevated above flood level. "

Minigun-Armed #Mojave #Drone Now Blasting Targets At 6,000 Rounds Per Minute

The DAP-6-armed Mojave engaged multiple ground targets in seven strafing runs across two separate sorties on April 13, according to a press release and accompanying video, seen below, that General Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) put out today. At one point in the video, a Chevy pickup truck is seen exploding. The 7.62x51mm rounds that a #Minigun fires are not explosive, but the truck could've been rigged with explosives or fuel inside of it could have ignited.

Not only can the state bill an inmate the $50 a day even after they are released, Florida can also impose a new bill on the next occupant of that bed, potentially allowing the state to double, triple, or quadruple charge for the same bed.
