Here’s what’s going on. 🧵

Right now my biggest hurdle is learning how to edit/using video software

How are we going to get out of this situation? Can the US recover from this nonsense? Things are lookin real bleak.

I don't know even know what to say anymore...

Oh by no means is it perfect, but I thought over throwing the state was pretty cool.

Well you see...that's the plot of Robocop 3
