"Janet Yellen won't release Trump's tax returns to Congress. She won't update Congress on the hijacking of the Treasury by Russian in 2015, which was exposed in 2018, and seemingly never remedied. All they did was jail the whistleblower." -- @gaslitnationpatreon.com/posts/tyranny-…
"Like Garland, Yellen abets corruption through inaction and by treating criminal elites as above the law. This inaction furthers public perception that criminal elites are innocent. They start to think, 'If these guys were REALLY that dangerous, surely the government would act!"
"Jared Kushner is making dirty Middle East deals after profiting off a plague and committing an enormous number of illegal offenses while in office. He has no problem using classified information for personal profit. He is a national security threat, and our agencies do nothing."
"And then there's Paul Manafort. Manafort is a close associate of Rinat Akhmetov, who has been named as a player in the Russian plot against Ukraine. Manafort has long served as a bridge between the Russian mafia in the West and the East." -- @gaslitnationpatreon.com/posts/tyranny-…
"Manafort, best known for plotting coups with Kremlin-affiliated actors, has been MIA since being pardoned by Trump in December 2020, and our guess is that he ...plotting a coup with Kremlin-affiliated actors. Just going out on a limb here!" patreon.com/posts/tyranny-…
"Manafort is a dangerous career criminal who has already been convicted for conspiracy against the US. He is a Kremlin lifer who spent his life plotting coups. Perhaps the people tasked with protecting US national security should see what he's up to!" -- patreon.com/posts/tyranny-…

"South Africa is being punished for their honesty and expertise. That's been the theme of the last five years, whether you're an epidemiologist, a climate scientist, a scholar of authoritarian states. People punish you for being right." -- @gaslitnationpatreon.com/posts/tyranny-…
"Many people are locked in a cult mentality, a deferential mode of supplication, where they only want to hear fairy tales and false reassurances based on nothing. When experts come forward with evidence of a crisis that can be mitigated, they are attacked for speaking out."
"We're going to go through hard times, but things don't have to be as hard as they have been. That's true for the pandemic, climate change, corruption. The future depends on what people choose to do, particularly those who hold power." -- @gaslitnationpatreon.com/posts/tyranny-…
"It wouldn't be 2021 without a new plague variant, and of course we get a variant that sounds like the title of a William Gibson novel or a B-side by the Blue Oyster Cult." -- @gaslitnationpatreon.com/posts/tyranny-…
"Omicron emerged largely due to the refusal of Big Pharma to make the covid vaccine free and accessible outside wealthy and Western states. Variants are much more likely to form when there is a low rate of vaccination." -- @gaslitnationpatreon.com/posts/tyranny-…
"Unlike when Jonas Salk developed the polio vaccine and gave it away, the monstrous men running Big Pharma today do not want to make the vaccine free. They make huge profits when a variant emerges. When omicron emerged, Pfizer’s shares hit a record high." patreon.com/posts/tyranny-…
"It appears that someone in the Biden administration finally realized that you cannot sell yourself as 'the infrastructure president' when you are allowing the destruction of a vital piece of infrastructure like the US postal service." patreon.com/posts/dejoy-of…
"Biden is finally removing USPS Chairman of the Board of Governors Ron Bloom, the man responsible for protecting postal service wrecking ball Louis DeJoy. That's good news, but Biden could have done this months ago. Bloom was a holdover who could have been removed at any time."
Our June @gaslitnation episode "Why Are the Democrats Keeping Louis Dejoy?" details Ron Bloom's shady ties. Vet your officials, folks! And ask why they are allowed to linger in place when they are helping to destroy the country.
"The GOP has abandoned their William F Buckley-style coded intellectual rhetoric, designed to make Republicans feel warm and cozy about their racism, in favor of just grabbing weapons and shooting people." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnationpatreon.com/posts/dejoy-of…
"The KKK hood is off. It's in your face. The rhetoric is backed by new authoritarian state laws created to install their neo-confederates into positions of power so that they are the ones who certify elections." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnationpatreon.com/posts/dejoy-of…
"Kyle Rittenhouse has become a favorite of right-wing elites who like to cloak their own lust for power under the veneer of vigilante justice." -- @gaslitnationpatreon.com/posts/dejoy-of…
"The Rittenhouse case is an extension of the broader crisis of elite criminal impunity – the same crisis we have been discussing on @gaslitnation for years, in which criminals who commit blatant crimes go free due to their wealth, power, and network of corrupt legal fixers."
"Sadly, at this point in our history, loathing of elite criminal impunity is what's left to bind Americans together. Disgust with billionaires like the Sackler family or Jeffrey Epstein, who abuse for decades without consequences, is near universal." patreon.com/posts/dejoy-of…
I’m a huge Attack on Titan fan. Gosar’s video 1) sucked 2) understood the message of AoT as well as Ronald Reagan understood “Born in the USA”, ie not at all, got it 180 degrees wrong 3) was obviously threatening AOC and others while trying to pass it off as a joke
Also Gosar has clearly not read the manga and does not know what happens to Eren Yaeger, but I’ll stop there as I do not want to emulate Gosar-esque commentary.
Shinzo wo sasageyo to accountability in Congress!
There have been many occasions where I, too, have related to scenes from Attack on Titan, yet I have managed not to threaten a member of Congress!
