Nothing more American than kidnapping children to feed them to the Reich
I’d love to see this smug asshole thrown in prison. The way douchenozzles like him pretend they are being above board on everything while gaslighting everyone.
Star Trek is gonna be weird
Assuming there still is going to be new Trek…

Finally, I can buy Fox News and turn it into what it was meant to be: 24/7 news about foxes

Allowing the LEADERS OF 9/11 to CONTROL OUR NEWS is putting America First!

Basically nothing could go wrong, because Israel and the oil lobby already owns all the media lol
Who else is going to buy in?
The Saudis? They don’t have any money right now. The Dutch maybe? Brazil?
Someone has to implement tiny-d donnie’s vibes, though.

The bribes didn’t go through yet.
Side thought, I don’t think the current political structure of the US would suit china, if they ended up holding soft power over it. I think they’d purge people pretty quickly.
