{ABC News 2 October} Bombshell immunity filing details Trump's alleged 'increasingly desperate' bid to overturn 2020 election
This revelation will make not one iota of difference to his legion of depraved sycophants, nor to most of the American people at large. Mark my words: 5 November will be national suicide, and the streets will flow with blood. A significant portion of the population is willing to risk their lives and take those of others to keep a Black woman out of the White House and their orange hero out of prison. It is sheer insanity on a level never before seen in American history, and it is all coming to a head. Civil war is imminent – God’s judgment on an evil and mentally ill nation.
