Like Deutsche Bank, the crypto trail could lead into Russia.

Whaaaaaaat? Trump is taking bribes from foreign countries using crypto currency? Really? Who could have known?!?! Except every fucking person with common sense. Trump is a traitor. He needs impeached, tried, and then either imprisoned for life or executed.
The republican traitor filth must be held to account. Not just that blyat trump.
Start combing through open secrets for Trump donors who gave $5000 or more, cross reference their names with property records and put together a list of as many people/locations as you can. Stock up on supplies, get ready
Uh, 5k? Your biggest hitlist demographic is senile old widows, the trifecta of Trump’s favorite target donor groups.
Killing them would not only be evil, it would only serve Trump. The top donors use super PACs and give way more than 5k, but the list of elites backing Trump and toppling democracies globally requires no doxxing, because they own public companies.
Do not kill working class Republican voters.
You start from the top down until you get the changes you want. I mean, why eat the snake tail first?
and also, I just want to stress that NO FUCKING WORKING CLASS PERSON IS GIVING $5000 TO ANY POLITICAL CAMPAIGN.
Those old widows aren't working, and probably never did. Now they just sit around taking up space, driving up house prices, and selling out their children's future to the next dipshit conman that comes along.
People who have 5k to piss away on a political donation every few years aren't fucking working for that money.

Dude 5k is absolutely within reach of many working class retirees, especially widows. They do give that much and more. But that’s not the point.
Those old widows aren’t working, and probably never did.
Working class has never meant currently working, or even formerly working. But that’s not the point.
Now they just sit around taking up space, driving up house prices
Is this a “useless eater” argument? A person’s ability is not what gives them the right to not be murdered. But even that is not the point.
Selling out their children’s future to the next dipshit conman that comes along.
Is this defending generational wealth inheritance? Because that’s part of how we got here. At least be consistent. But that is not the point.

Again many working class retirees have some combination of retirement savings, pension, SSI, SSDI, insurance and LTC vehicles, etc, that can put 5k of liquid assets within reach, even if it costs them dearly. But that’s not the point.
You start from the top down until you get the changes you want.
Only for the true global elite would top-down be a sound strategy, and again the elites won’t be on your list because they give differently. And it’s only sound because it associates wealth itself with risk, directly counteracting their incentive for further oppression/profit. But that’s not the point.
The point: if you murder people for the way they vote, or even threaten to do so, you become a fascist yourself.
This isn’t how we win. Get your ass into therapy before hate consumes you.
Alternative headline: Senator Warren requests government funded relocation to ~~Venezuela~~. El Salvador.
Venezuela?
This is what I get for commenting near the end of my 8 hour shift at the end of my last 10 minute break after only getting a few hours of sleep the day before.
El Salvador.... To quote Forest Gump, I'm not a smart man.
