Today I heard what them people say
Dem want to live free greedily, with everyone to pay.
You play under the sun while others fight and dies away

The plan Q and the patriots came up with is amazing.
Covid
Nursing homes debacle
Summer riots
Losing the election
All part of the plan! How could anyone doubt it?
Are patriots really in control?
Q tells you to trust the plan meaning, don't actually lift a finger.
See how this works?

Do you like being the only genius-level re-offender in the mid-west? So your Dad dies, you can settle for a less than ordinary life. But you feel like you were born for something better. Something special.
