    That Angela tweet, whoever she is, gave me some hope.

    Lot's of people commented on #freeross twitter account that Trump has assured Ross will be free. Kelley Paul, Thomas Massie, Elon Musk....very likely this will happen.

    Maybe the stalling is to diminish the publicity as this is not a popular move for a lot of the conservative base. The same reason you won't see a Snowden/Assange pardon. Too much U.S. troop idolatry in this country.

    One would think that if this was the case he would do it among a bunch of other stuff so that it would be buried amongst the news.

    Well, the pardons are the news. Do you want to smear that with a reference to the silk road drug dealer website guy? That's all liberal news would talk about.

    During the days of Bush, we did have 2 wings of 1 bird. Things have changed. I like to think the the Ron Paul R3VOLUTION was an important part of that change.

    And there you have it.

    Next, Snowden and Assange.
    The whole narrative is absurd on its face - at the same time the USA was both founded on White supremacy, slavery, and genocide, yet always meant to be a place that infinity Africans, Indians, and South Americans could come for a "better life"? - Unknown

    I hope so.

    I am guessing that some people that don't come around much anymore will still not admit they were wrong. I wonder if the new spins is that Trump is just doing these things to further sucker us into his globalist plan as the best double agent for the establishment ever!

    In all seriousness, Trump is doing his best to blow it with this AI-guided mRNA nonsense, and the concept is rightfully getting ripped to shreds by multitudes of MAGA social media accounts on Twitter.

    Someone light up the Kennedy Bat-signal. Need him to get in there and thump Trump in the back of the head.

    Maybe it's some 2,345-D chess.

    Shove an obvious CIA goon out on stage and let him try to sell 'cancer curing' vaccines to the American public with COVID fresh in our minds, then 'open the animal pen gates at the Coliseum' so the American people can rip them to shreds.

    Is Ross actually free as of this moment? When will he actually be let out of Prison? I hope there will be some video of his release.
