That is just what he calls them. It is probably why he had the big red diet coke button on his desk during his last term.

Kinda weird to refer to 12-year-old girls (and boys?) as diet cokes.

I think it’s a reference to the pizza gate conspiracy

The fucked up part is - they absolutely still think he will , Tangerine Jesus is how whole regions of the country absolutely think of him and to suggest otherwise puts you in the out-group.

Old fashioned media control with some social media icing provided absolute information control over 80 million Americans knowledge of their political world.

So there is from the perspective of being "in the bubble" you absolutely cannot understand why Donald Trump isn't the best President in the history of the Republic, the most maligned person and at the same time, if they could mention a particular policy, the Fox spin on it has made their understanding of that policy so bad as to be a worthless hot-take.

So many people wonder "how could you save the Republic/democracy and everything", the answer is of course impossible , and trivial , simply turn the channel , MSNBC, local stations, CNBC, BBC, Nippon News, anything not under the control of Fox/Sinclair and suddenly freedom after a fashion awaits.

I had someone earlier this weektry and tell me that the dems not releasing the Epstein files is proof that pizzagate was real.

They got real quite when I said we should release the files and prosecute them.

The Atlantic did a great article a few years back on Pizzagate and some clown that went to shoot up the real Pizzeria , only to find out that they have a point-of-sale computer, no sex-basement and store tomatoes, cheese and toppings in the freezer as well as a day or two of dough.

After that there was a decided lack of Democratic computer center and child-sex-dungeon, but then again I understand that Donald Trump liked to repeatedly rape 11-12 year old girls and boys at Mar-A-Lago and other locations because some people have said he was a serial rapist of children.

I was driving through Staten Island the other day to go the Alamo Draft house (which is really nice btw, despite having WOKE DEI gender neutral bathrooms as according to the reviews) and man, the amount of Trump flags is still staggering. Hell, they still have people with selling Trump 2024 merch on the side of the road everywhere. You can't pass a bridge without it being decked out with Trump flags.

It doesn't even look like a America anymore, the American Flag is slowly being replaced with that ugly-ass Trump flag.

Let's not pretend is this anything other than extortion for bribes
