These motherfuckers went from “wearing a mask is tyranny” to “the government can shoot anyone on the street at night” pretty fucking quick.
What’s the real tyranny, tyranny, or a minor inconvenience that saves lives?
Remember when they said not getting a haircut was “tyranny?”

tyr·an·ny (ˈtirənē)

noun

▪️cruel and oppressive government or rule.

▪️unreasonable or arbitrary use of power or control.

Wow. I'm honored and humbled and excited to announce my memoir, HOLLYWOOD PARK, debuted on the New York Times bestsellers list.

I just want to say, you spend your whole life repeating other's ideas until one day you realize you have your own story to tell. Thank you. Truly.
I haven't talked about this much on Twitter bc, I don't know, it feels like social media isn't the best way to get personal stories across and I'd rather just be a writer and meet you on the windswept plain of page 200 or something. I spent 3 years in this room writing this book.
"A Gen-X This Boy's Life. Hollywood Park is a triumph."

ANTIFA isn't an organization.

ANTIFA has NEVER killed a single person.

ANTIFA simply means "anti-fascism," it's a fairly small, highly decentralized movement.

What Trump is trying to do is label anyone who speaks out against him a terrorist, which is what all dictators do.
This morning Trump essentially called Joe Biden a member of ANTIFA (because some of Biden's staff donated money to a bail fund for protestors).

Joe Biden.

Do you see the ridiculous argument he's trying to make:

"If you oppose ME, you are a terrorist."
ANTIFA!

OBAMAGATE!

ENEMY OF THE STATE!

Each of these is an attempt to label anyone who disagrees with Trump an extremist.

For now, it's political, a question of branding the opposition as criminals

But throughout history, the next step is arresting them, then executing them.

The President is tested every day.

Every single person he comes into contact with is also tested.

If anyone tests positive, they are immediately quarantined and their contacts are tested.

See? He DOES understand how to stop the virus. He just doesn't give a shit about YOU.
"Test and trace for ME but not for YOU," is a helluva campaign slogan.

To be perfectly clear,

Trump wasn’t grieving the death of *80,000* Americans.

And he wasn’t concerned with the nationwide economic tragedies unfolding because of it.

He was worried those *80,000* dead would make HIM look bad.
