Little-known fact: FDR was the leader of Antifa in the US in the 1940s.

I think we're looking at a tenured professor of Clown University, if not one of the deans.

He seemed flabbergasted that anyone would question him on his.

"Wh..why are you questioning me? No one questions the orange paedo when he says stupid shit!? This isn't fair, I want to say stupid shit uncontested as well. Harrumph!!"

Lol. Where in the US is antifa?

FBI baldie: mouth noises

Jesusaurus@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 259d

Is antifa in the room with you right now?

Watched this a few times yesterday. So simple to nail these fascists to the fucking wall with a simple question, and not let them loose. Why is this man's questioning so very rare?!

People across the USA should start doing stupid, innocuous pranks like dog poop in a flaming paper bag, toilet papering houses, etc. Then put out videos, preferably on VHS, with masked people claiming responsibility as Antifa.

Give this guy lots of evidence to display to congressional committees.

Maybe keep the flame out of it, arson is pretty serious and fire can be unpredictable.

ngdev@lemmy.zip · 1 pts · 258d

yes but make sure its like an old, dilapidated, abandoned building that is part of a lot that is under contention and that nobody is in there

Redditsux@piefed.ca · 6 pts · 259d

Because there is NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ANTIFA

The way Bennie pronounced the name Donald Trump was a source of endless amusement to me watching the January 6th hearings.
