Transcript:

I would like to provide a little bit of motivation to our current Democratic politicians.

Question for you all: What happens to the opposing politicians of dictators?

🤨

What happens? Quickly?

Y'all are fighting this as like business as usual but you know it isn't, you went to those fancy schools, you studied history, you know the signs. You keep saying that Trump is the new tiny mustache man. You are calling what he does fascism.

What happens to the opposing politicians under those regimes?

And it's not like you can hide anywhere. We have your voting records, we have your quotes, we have you on video. They know where you stand. They've never gonna trust you, no-no-no. You're more useful as an example.

So I would suggest to the Democratic party that you locate that Scooby Doo villian who apparently stole all of your spines and you start fighting like your life depends on it, because it probably does.

Stop being polite and nice to the people cosplaying as the bad guys from Indiana Jones.

By the way this message is not for AOC or Jasmine Crockett, y'all are made of steel. But for the rest of you, since y'all can't be motivated by like you know basic human decency and protecting your constituents. Maybe you all can be motivated by the historic timeline that says YOU'RE NEXT

Arguing about the power the Supreme Court gave the executive while Biden was in office and whether or not he should use it or whether or not the SCOTUS would rule against his use as "official act of the president" and if that was a betrayal of the country's democratic values a thought kept running thru my head and that was Joe, you know they're going to put Hunter in a hole right?

He knew on some level. That's why he pardoned him. Let's see if it works!

Biden's entire M.O., from the campaign trail to leaving office, was to not rock the boat. Nothing in your life will change. Stay the course.

His pardons were meant to keep the boat from rocking him. Nothing has changed in his world.
