Covid rages across the land, and Russia, if you’re listening, it’s ok to murder US soldiers

Put out a tweet that we are going to tear down the statue of Confederate General Beauregard T. Peckerwood in Someplace, Mississippi. Unlike intelligence briefings, he will believe it right away.

While Im wandering around this weekend in tucson. I’ll keep an eye out for TSA agents around some of our statues. I only remember one name because it was something like “generic presidio soldier”.

It’s a dry heat so they should be fine in the 105 degrees expected Saturday. I’ll make sure to bring extra frozen water bottles and tell them “you’re not taking it this time”.

I feel guilty typing that and won’t be out until after dark. I wouldn’t really mess with those poor shmucks anyway.

Moon should be pretty full by Saturday

They can protect statues on Federal land.

But state and municipal owned ones they can pound sand.

Richmond, Virginia is taking down every statue they have authority over. No one short of a judge will stop them.

Covid crisis and helping small businesses and unemployed individuals to get back on their feet?

What a useless, stupid POS! I hate him with the fire of a thousand suns!

Are all these statues on federal property?

Is this TSA or border patrol or ICE?

I really don’t like federal police patrolling uninvited and unneeded.

I really don’t like this
