So, to keep your festive plans on track, please check before you travel at nationalrail.co.uk slash Christmas.

Trump took his fascist cosplay circus rally to Ohio with QAnon theme music and all some of the most arranged rhetoric yet.

We'll talk about the rally and let's just explore the mega media gaslighting in response to that rally. Matter of fact, let's explore mega media literally creating various crises and then trying to make up the outcome, even if that's not actually what the outcome is, specifically as it relates to the desantis kidnapping asylum seekers from Venezuela situation that's going on.
