UPDATE: Transcript ADDED – Tonight, a perpetually nasty and likely medicated man, demanding respect from a nation he abhors, will rally his 30% and decry the majority in a primetime address. The shouting is scheduled to originate at 8:00pm ET from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Major media stenographers are saying he has been practicing this speech for several days. There are also rumors he may introduce the latest regime gaslighting term “growth recession,” to discuss the economy.
The majority of the American victims likely will not be watching the protestations of their abuser. However, if you find yourself tuning in to learn just how much he hates you, or if you want to laugh at the insufferable old dolt, well, here’s the livestream links:

[Transcript] THE PRESIDENT: My fellow Americans, please, if you have a seat, take it. I speak to you tonight from sacred ground in America: Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
This is where America made its Declaration of Independence to the world more than two centuries ago with an idea, unique among nations, that in America, we’re all created equal. This is where the United States Constitution was written and debated.
This is where we set in motion the most extraordinary experiment of self-government the world has ever known with three simple words: “We, the People.” “We, the People.”
These two documents and the ideas they embody — equality and democracy — are the rock upon which this nation is built. They are how we became the greatest nation on Earth. They are why, for more than two centuries, America has been a beacon to the world. But as I stand here tonight, equality and democracy are under assault. We do ourselves no favor to pretend otherwise.
So tonight, I have come this place where it all began to speak as plainly as I can to the nation about the threats we face, about the power we have in our own hands to meet these threats, and about the incredible future that lies in front of us if only we choose it.
We must never forget: We, the people, are the true heirs of the American experiment that began more than two centuries ago.
We, the people, have burning inside each of us the flame of liberty that was lit here at Independence Hall — a flame that lit our way through abolition, the Civil War, Suffrage, the Great Depression, world wars, Civil Rights.
That sacred flame still burns now in our time as we build an America that is more prosperous, free, and just.
That is the work of my presidency, a mission I believe in with my whole soul.
But first, we must be honest with each other and with ourselves.
Too much of what’s happening in our country today is not normal.
Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic.
Now, I want to be very clear — (applause) — very clear up front: Not every Republican, not even the majority of Republicans, are MAGA Republicans. Not every Republican embraces their extreme ideology.
I know because I’ve been able to work with these mainstream Republicans.
But there is no question that the Republican Party today is dominated, driven, and intimidated by Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans, and that is a threat to this country.
These are hard things.
But I’m an American President — not the President of red America or blue America, but of all America.
And I believe it is my duty — my duty to level with you, to tell the truth no matter how difficult, no matter how painful.
And here, in my view, is what is true: MAGA Republicans do not respect the Constitution. They do not believe in the rule of law. They do not recognize the will of the people.
They refuse to accept the results of a free election. And they’re working right now, as I speak, in state after state to give power to decide elections in America to partisans and cronies, empowering election deniers to undermine democracy itself.
MAGA forces are determined to take this country backwards — backwards to an America where there is no right to choose, no right to privacy, no right to contraception, no right to marry who you love.
They promote authoritarian leaders, and they fan the flames of political violence that are a threat to our personal rights, to the pursuit of justice, to the rule of law, to the very soul of this country.
They look at the mob that stormed the United States Capitol on January 6th — brutally attacking law enforcement — not as insurrectionists who placed a dagger to the throat of our democracy, but they look at them as patriots.
And they see their MAGA failure to stop a peaceful transfer of power after the 2020 election as preparation for the 2022 and 2024 elections.
They tried everything last time to nullify the votes of 81 million people. This time, they’re determined to succeed in thwarting the will of the people.
That’s why respected conservatives, like Federal Circuit Court Judge Michael Luttig, has called Trump and the extreme MAGA Republicans, quote, a “clear and present danger” to our democracy.
But while the threat to American democracy is real, I want to say as clearly as we can: We are not powerless in the face of these threats. We are not bystanders in this ongoing attack on democracy.
There are far more Americans — far more Americans from every — from every background and belief who reject the extreme MAGA ideology than those that accept it. (Applause.)
And, folks, it is within our power, it’s in our hands — yours and mine — to stop the assault on American democracy.
I believe America is at an inflection point — one of those moments that determine the shape of everything that’s to come after.
And now America must choose: to move forward or to move backwards? To build the future or obsess about the past? To be a nation of hope and unity and optimism, or a nation of fear, division, and of darkness?
MAGA Republicans have made their choice. They embrace anger. They thrive on chaos. They live not in the light of truth but in the shadow of lies.
But together — together, we can choose a different path. We can choose a better path. Forward, to the future. A future of possibility. A future to build and dream and hope.
And we’re on that path, moving ahead.
I know this nation. I know you, the American people. I know your courage. I know your hearts. And I know our history.
This is a nation that honors our Constitution. We do not reject it. (Applause.)
This is a nation that believes in the rule of law. We do not repudiate it. (Applause.)
This is a nation that respects free and fair elections. We honor the will of the people. We do not deny it. (Applause.)
And this is a nation that rejects violence as a political tool. We do not encourage violence.
We are still an America that believes in honesty and decency and respect for others, patriotism, liberty, justice for all, hope, possibilities.
We are still, at our core, a democracy. (Applause.)
And yet history tells us that blind loyalty to a single leader and a willingness to engage in political violence is fatal to democracy.
For a long time, we’ve told ourselves that American democracy is guaranteed, but it’s not.
We have to defend it, protect it, stand up for it — each and every one of us.
That’s why tonight I’m asking our nation to come together, unite behind the single purpose of defending our democracy regardless of your ideology. (Applause.)
We’re all called, by duty and conscience, to confront extremists who will put their own pursuit of power above all else.
Democrats, independents, mainstream Republicans: We must be stronger, more determined, and more committed to saving American democracy than MAGA Republicans are to — to destroying American democracy.
We, the people, will not let anyone or anything tear us apart. Today, there are dangers around us we cannot allow to prevail. We hear — you’ve heard it — more and more talk about violence as an acceptable political tool in this country. It’s not. It can never be an acceptable tool.
So I want to say this plain and simple: There is no place for political violence in America. Period. None. Ever. (Applause.)
We saw law enforcement brutally attacked on January the 6th. We’ve seen election officials, poll workers — many of them volunteers of both parties — subjected to intimidation and death threats. And — can you believe it? — FBI agents just doing their job as directed, facing threats to their own lives from their own fellow citizens.
On top of that, there are public figures — today, yesterday, and the day before — predicting and all but calling for mass violence and rioting in the streets.
This is inflammatory. It’s dangerous. It’s against the rule of law. And we, the people, must say: This is not who we are. (Applause.)
Ladies and gentlemen, we can’t be pro-ex- — pro-ex- — pro-insurrectionist and pro-American. They’re incompatible. (Applause.)
We can’t allow violence to be normalized in this country. It’s wrong. We each have to reject political violence with — with all the moral clarity and conviction this nation can muster. Now.
We can’t let the integrity of our elections be undermined, for that is a path to chaos.
Look, I know poli- — politics can be fierce and mean and nasty in America. I get it. I believe in the give-and-take of politics, in disagreement and debate and dissent.
We’re a big, complicated country. But democracy endures only if we, the people, respect the guardrails of the republic. Only if we, the people, accept the results of free and fair elections. (Applause.) Only if we, the people, see politics not as total war but mediation of our differences.
Democracy cannot survive when one side believes there are only two outcomes to an election: either they win or they were cheated. And that’s where MAGA Republicans are today. (Applause.)
They don’t understand what every patriotic American knows: You can’t love your country only when you win. (Applause.) It’s fundamental.
American democracy only works only if we choose to respect the rule of law and the institutions that were set up in this chamber behind me, only if we respect our legitimate political differences.
I will not stand by and watch — I will not — the will of the American people be overturned by wild conspiracy theories and baseless, evidence-free claims of fraud.
I will not stand by and watch elections in this country stolen by people who simply refuse to accept that they lost. (Applause.)
I will not stand by and watch the most fundamental freedom in this country — the freedom to vote and have your vote counted — and — be taken from you and the American people. (Applause.)
Look, as your President, I will defend our democracy with every fiber of my being, and I’m asking every American to join me. (Applause.)
(A protestor disruption can be heard.)
Throughout our history, America has often made the greatest progress coming out of some of our darkest moments, like you’re hearing in that bullhorn.
I believe we can and we must do that again, and we are.
MAGA Republicans look at America and see carnage and darkness and despair. They spread fear and lies –- lies told for profit and power.
But I see a very different America — an America with an unlimited future, an America that is about to take off. I hope you see it as well. Just look around.
I believed we could lift America from the depths of COVID, so we passed the largest economic recovery package since Franklin Delano Roosevelt. And today, America’s economy is faster, stronger than any other advanced nation in the world. (Applause.) We have more to go.
I believed we could build a better America, so we passed the biggest infrastructure investment since President Dwight D. Eisenhower. And we’ve now embarked on a decade of rebuilding
the nation’s roads, bridges, highways, ports, water systems, high-speed Internet, railroads. (Applause.)
I believed we could make America safer, so we passed the most significant gun safety law since President Clinton. (Applause.)
I believed we could go from being the highest cost of prescriptions in the world to making prescription drugs and healthcare more affordable, so we passed the most significant healthcare reforms since President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act. (Applause.)
And I believed we could create — we could create a clean energy future and save the planet, so we passed the most important climate initiative ever, ever, ever. (Applause.)
The cynics and the critics tell us nothing can get done, but they are wrong. There is not a single thing America cannot do — not a single thing beyond our capacity if we do it together.
It’s never easy. But we’re proving that in America, no matter how long the road, progress does come. (Applause.)
Look, I know the last year — few years have been tough. But today, COVID no longer controls our lives. More Americans are working than ever. Businesses are growing. Our schools are open. Millions of Americans have been lifted out of poverty. Millions of veterans once exposed to toxic burn pits will now get what they deserve for their families and the compa- — compensation. (Applause.)
American manufacturing has come alive across the Heartland, and the future will be made in America — (applause) — no matter what the white supremacists and the extremists say.
I made a bet on you, the American people, and that bet is paying off. Proving that from darkness — the darkness of Charlottesville, of COVID, of gun violence, of insurrection — we can see the light. Light is now visible. (Applause.)
Light that will guide us forward not only in words, but in actions — actions for you, for your children, for your grandchildren, for America.
Even in this moment, with all the challenges we face, I give you my word as a Biden: I’ve never been more optimistic about America’s future. Not because of me, but because of who you are.
We’re going to end cancer as we know it. Mark my words. (Applause.)
We are going to create millions of new jobs in a clean energy economy.
We’re going to think big. We’re going to make the 21st century another American century because the world needs us to. (Applause.)
That’s where we need to focus our energy — not in the past, not on divisive culture wars, not on the politics of grievance, but on a future we can build together.
The MAGA Republicans believe that for them to succeed, everyone else has to fail. They believe America — not like I believe about America.
I believe America is big enough for all of us to succeed, and that is the nation we’re building: a nation where no one is left behind.
I ran for President because I believed we were in a battle for the soul of this nation. I still believe that to be true. I believe the soul is the breath, the life, and the essence of who we are. The soul is what makes us “us.”
The soul of America is defined by the sacred proposition that all are created equal in the image of God. That all are entitled to be treated with decency, dignity, and respect. That all deserve justice and a shot at lives of prosperity and consequence. And that democracy — democracy must be defended, for democracy makes all these things possible. (Applause.) Folks, and it’s up to us.
Democracy begins and will be preserved in we, the people’s, habits of heart, in our character: optimism that is tested
yet endures, courage that digs deep when we need it, empathy that fuels democracy, the willingness to see each other not as enemies but as fellow Americans.
Look, our democracy is imperfect. It always has been.
Notwithstanding those folks you hear on the other side there. They’re entitled to be outrageous. This is a democracy. But history and common sense — (applause) — good manners is nothing they’ve ever suffered from.
But history and common sense tell us that opportunity, liberty, and justice for all are most likely to come to pass in a democracy.
We have never fully realized the aspirations of our founding, but every generation has opened those doors a little wider to include more people who have been excluded before.
My fellow Americans, America is an idea — the most powerful idea in the history of the world. And it beats in the hearts of the people of this country. It beats in all of our hearts. It unites America. It is the American creed.
The idea that America guarantees that everyone be treated with dignity. It gives hate no safe harbor. It installs in everyone the belief that no matter where you start in life, there’s nothing you can’t achieve.
That’s who we are. That’s what we stand for. That’s what we believe. And that is precisely what we are doing: opening doors, creating new possibilities, focusing on the future. And we’re only just beginning. (Applause.)
Our task is to make our nation free and fair, just and strong, noble and whole.
And this work is the work of democracy — the work of this generation. It is the work of our time, for all time.
We can’t afford to have — leave anyone on the sidelines. We need everyone to do their part. So speak up. Speak out. Get engaged. Vote, vote, vote. (Applause.)
And if we all do our duty — if we do our duty in 2022 and beyond, then ages still to come will say we — all of us here — we kept the faith. We preserved democracy. (Applause.) We heeded our wor- — we — we heeded not our worst instincts but our better angels. And we proved that, for all its imperfections, America is still the beacon to the world, an ideal to be realized, a promise to be kept.
There is nothing more important, nothing more sacred, nothing more American. That’s our soul. That’s who we truly are. And that’s who must — we must always be.
And I have no doubt — none –– that this is who we will be and that we’ll come together as a nation. That we’ll secure our democracy. That for the next 200 years, we’ll have what we had the past 200 years: the greatest nation on the face of the Earth.
We just need to remember who we are. We are the United States of America. The United States of America. (Applause.)
And may God protect our nation. And may God protect all those who stand watch over our democracy. God bless you all. (Applause.) Democracy. Thank you. (Applause.)

SD… I’m assuming your “Tonight, a perpetually nasty and likely medicated man, demanding respect from a nation he abhors, will rally his 30% and decry the majority in a primetime address….” Was a nod to the Mass Formation theory presented by Mattias Desmet on the TCT show the other night.
Why wouldn’t you assume, “Tonight, a perpetually nasty and likely medicated man, demanding respect from a nation he abhors, will rally his 30% and decry the majority in a prime-time address….” was the summation of a free man in a free country (SD); free to express his own views in the (digital) company of those enjoying their freedom of peaceable assembly? Why aren’t you seeing and giving credit to the face value of the principle and practice presented by SD? Need a conspiracy, dog whistle or something else to help your arguments?
Dear Johnny….
Not sure what burr got under your saddle. If you did not see the TCT telecast the other night when Tucker had Mattias Desmet on for one segment. If you don’t know what Mass Formation refers to perhaps you should check it out. That I ask SD if he subscribed to that theory was, more or less, a rhetorical question. The main trust of my question would be understood by those that watched Tucker’s show and caught that segment. The percentage used by Mr. Desmmet while defining Mass Formation was…… 30% – the same percentage SD used but without mentioning Mass Formation. I didn’t think it was coincidence but thought I’d ask just the same.
Take a couple of deep breaths and step away from the keyboard…. :>)
It is obvious also that this is a “psy ops” attempt at provocation. Do not take the bait.
“The truth is not in him.” Joe’s evil puppet-masters cannot help but reveal, as they did right here, what kind of evil they are. They are consumed by their evil, and even the Scriptures say that it will in due time consume them. “Those who live by the sword shall die by the sword.”
This is their image of hundreds of millions of loyal Americans. It is also a clear projection of what is in their own hearts. They very matter-of-factly hate this nation and everything that it stands for, even as they stuff their bottomless mouths with its money. They want endless power over you, and frankly they want you dead. They also want to be the ones who killed you.
But there has never been a clearer example of why the 2020 election must be overturned. No one elected this man. No one elected many of the Democrats who then took seats in Congress. We all know what happened and how the crime was committed. We cannot rely on future elections to be anything but stolen if we continue to allow the last steal to have succeeded. President Adams warned us to protect the “purity” of our elections at all costs. He also observed that “there hasn’t been a democracy yet that did not commit suicide.”
Nailed it Mike. Good post friend.
The setting and message on the Thursday before Labor Day?
It’s not prime time and yet neither were the dem debates.
We are in for a whole lotta hurt if no one/body can stop this nonsense.
Now is the time to put our TRUMP signs back in our yards and wear our red MAGA hats everywhere we go as well as our TRUMP and our MAGA TEE shirts.
After that speech by the disgusting sick man in the white house I got my 2016 MAGA hat out that I bought when Pres Trump was running for Pres for the first time and wore it to the store today.
I got a lot of thumbs up and smiles and “I love your hat” remarks”.
We do not need quite yet to bring out the guns but we can become much more visible in our red MAGA hats and our TRUMP shirts and signs.
There are millions and millions and millions of us our here lets remind them that we are till here with our shirts hats and bumper stickers.
I am a Republican precinct committeeman and a state committeeman. I have never heard anyone espouse the things that the interloper iterated. I worked the AZ audit and I can tell you that within the first 4 hours of my first day that the cheat was in. I foresee paid agitators once again causing riots and destruction over the next two months and then a declaration of marshal law to prevent the November election and the red wave that will happen. Time of course will tell and I pray that I am wrong.
Lot of folks praying right along with you.
That is a very feasible thought. But, I think a different approach by Biden. He and the dems could be blamed if anything happens. I think their plan could be in collaboration with a Chinese move on Taiwan! Biden could then pretend he cares about Taiwan and declare a “national wartime” emergency. Then he could do eactly what the German Chancellor did and force a takeover by declaring Martial law. Then our legislature is totally out of the picture, he will concede Taiwan to China and we have out DICTATOR! He’s acting like one now, but he will BE our leader! More like Obama in the wings to take over.They willmthrow away the Vice idiot and we will be in deep dog doo.
Biden Tries to Walk Back Dark Speech: ‘I Don’t Consider Any Trump Supporter to Be a Threat’ ….
10 Times Democrats Urged Violence Against Trump And His Supporters :
https://thefederalist.com/2021/01/08/10-times-democrats-urged-violence-against-trump-and-his-supporters/
I am terrified for the soul of our nation.
This is crystal clear as the final foundation to build the justification of the indictment of President Trump.
Also, 2022 elections (and all future) will be rigged
Anyone speaking out against the JoeBama cabal will be tossed into the gulag with the J6 prisoners.
I am sick to my stomach that a “president” just used the office to campaign AND declare 75 million Americans “enemy of the state”. I will yield no quarter to these traitors
Could not watch, so thank you for the transcript.
You should have watched. The most bizarre show I have ever seen in my life. Hollywood could nor hold a candle to this playacting.
I respectfully disagree that this is reason for being terrified for the soul of our nation. Yes, when I watched it I was very uncomfortable, just as you are. Brandon’s speech had historical parallels to harsh political movements in history that began with defining political opponents as enemies of civility. Combine that with all the time the Jan 6 political prisoners have been confined, and the many years of a soft war on Christianity that the Dims have been waging — Brandon’s speech sounded like the Dims are one step away from making it blatant persecution.
But if you think about it, that’s when Christ’s church always thrives. For the past 2,000 years, any time in western society the church was persecuted, it thrived! Big time!
Now is the time for praying, turning to God, reading the Bible, loving God, loving your fellow man, and living it like ya mean it. Do so not in despair, but in expectation. I believe we my literally be on the cusp of new Great Awakening.
It was very disturbing listening to someone that sold his own soul decades ago speak about ‘taking back the soul of American’ while performing in a theatrical parody of a Satanic temple. With the level of vile projectionism expressed by our Ventriloquist’s Dummy-in-Chief you would think he was spitting and spewing in front of his own reflection in a mirror. Unfortunately for us, I believe those that have indeed traded their souls for 20 pieces are unable to see their own reflections. This aspect seems to be true for both those suffering from advanced dementia and those that are Machiavellian narcissistic psychopaths.
I wish I had your powers of observation and communicating.
LMFAO….#pedoHitler is trending on Twitter and Twitter is trying to deflate the numbers…
Biden wants to incite America First Americans into doing something. Days after he called us semi-fascists, a Republican office was defaced and vandalized with the word fascists. Now this speech. The Uniparty is desperate. No need to use violence. Rather ridicule them. Call out the direct links and imagery to Hitler as it is….and then in November, we show up in droves to overwhelm the cheat and vote MAGA.
#pedoHitler
100% “… overwhelm the cheat and vote MAGA …”
Do not early vote or absentee vote – Vote. On. Election. Day. !!!
I didn’t watch but there were enough clips later to stamp the image on my brain. Every time I close my eyes, all I see is that blood red image with the two marines and jobama playing the part of lucifer, mouth wide open, fists clenched. He just needed horns to complete the picture. He is a sick man and his puppet masters are sicker than he is.
I’m gonna be days getting that image out of my head.
I’m wondering how a man as demented as he is pulled off such a LONG speech. Honestly how do you think that was done? When he is so far gone he shakes hands with a person who is not there, and looks around so obviously lost, how on earth does he pull off such a LONG Flawless Rant? Is there a body-double doing this? MUST be!
I believe he was high on drugs which pushed him into a ginned up hateful diatribe. But I truly believe we were seeing the REAL joe biden, the mean angry hateful spiteful man that he’s always been. He will never be able to erase that image or those words. JMHO.
Ask Elon if there are chips that can do Joe Biden?
Our bodies our the Temple of the Living God.
Joebama’s body is a vessel
for something altogether different.
Typical empowered politician. Say one thing publicly and do exactly the opposite to the very people you lied to. The Biden crime family are the disease of the Demolition Party, are the traitors to this country who need to be reeducated to the Constitution and fairness this country prides itself upon.
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/09/02/biden-breaks-promise-to-never-politicize-troops-after-delivering-partisan-speech-flanked-by-marines/
There’s so so much to be said about this theater production:The word democracy is used where the republic should be, they don’t mean the same thing. MY government, his “democracy” has proclaimed me a threat, let’s break it down, Dominated = a majority
Driven= love America
Intimated = speak bull shit fluently.He as much as said, he’s not going to allow free speech from select Americans of his choosing. Free speech is a threat to this administration. MY Constitution does not say that. MY family DNA has been here 272 years. I’m a daughter of the American Revolution. If we don’t learn from history we repeat it.
DAR here too! Hold the line!
All that was missing from Herr Pedo’s speech were swastikas hanging above the two Marines.
The image should be in every campaign commercial between now and 2024.
Once “Brandon’s” words match is deeds along with those of his party as well his speech could be persuasive. Until then, NO SUCH LUCK!
Broadcast networks ABC, NBC, and CBS aired their regularly-scheduled programs Thursday, instead of President Joe Biden’s angry, divisive speech attacking Make America Great Again (MAGA) Americans.
Why ? They support all this nonsense? Did the WH know they would not cover
it?
Ahhhh, Little Joe:
Over the last year and a half+, you have destroyed whatever trust America might have had around the world. You’ve made a laughingstock of the military. You’ve destroyed the progress that President Trump made to bring America back to what it once was – a long task, but it was showing promise.
YOU have driven (one of) the last nails into the coffin of the United States of America. World leaders now know, without a doubt, YOU are never to be trusted, only to be laughed at and despised.
I truly hope YOU burn in hell for this, and your wasteful decades in “public service”….that is, YOUR nest feathering.
MAGA = Me and You = 1930’s Jew… Chew on that. Keep your powder dry, they want us to react, so they can call out their F-15’s… Not the time, we still have a ballot box, we just have to show up and blow their F’n doors off!
Brandon finally got me off the fence about making campaign contributions more than the regular donations to the Save America Joint Fundraising Committee (through donaldjtrump.com). I just made a donation to Young Kim for Congress since I’m now in the 39th congressional district and will be making more donations for the mid-term.
I didn’t think we were allowed to say “God”
I enjoy Sundance more than most but to suggest Prime Time is the Thursday before Labor Day is a little far fetched.
They purposely reduce Biden’s exposure.
Any POTUS wanting a meaningful press conference would do after Labor Day.
“Prime time” is TV age terminology for weeknights 8 to 10 PM EST/EDT. It’s more than a little “far fetched” to read anything else into Sundance’ use of the term.
Goebbels and Hitler would be proud:
JOSEPH GOEBBELS
Hitler’s Minister of Enlightenment and Propaganda
If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the state can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lies. It then becomes important for the state to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the state.
Souls. sacred propositions, and beliefs, peppered with incorrect references to God. Just ironic.
I noticed the “transcript added”.
This is one of those moments where need only one picture.
Sic semper tyrannis!
Never ignore the fact this is just another episode in the national soap opera.
Psyops to divide and open CW2.
Their end goal is population reduction, (by any means), and complete control of the survivors as their cattle.
Is that really the emperor or was the entire thing a cgi with backup clone.
Pineland rules will shortly be coming into play against this POS petty little tyrant…
