levels of money into these ads, and it could very well be more effective than what was done in 2016.

The Epoch Times is run by a Chinese rightwing cult and it’s pushing pro-Trump propaganda

to house mentally ill people because they are the only ones committing these acts of violence.

I am not going to comment on how ridiculous this is, but I kind of agree with Trump that we need more mental health asylums and we would need a bunch of them to house the "freakin' ultra ultra wingnuts affiliated with The Epoch Times . The video explains somewhat who they are.

Rachel Maddow tonight went into her usual in depth discussion about their history, their support of Trump (have bought more ads on FB supporting the Trumpster than anyone else except for Trump Campaign), about their really crazy conspiracy theories and how they a very large danger to the US.

They are a anti-communist Chinese entity that believes God sent Trump to earth to abolish communism. They believe the planes that hit the the Trade Centers and Pentagon landed before they crashed and all the passengers were taken off and rushed into underground tunnels that led to a underground city where they are held as slaves. They don't allow their followers to take medicine because their illnesses are caused by evil spirits in their body. They believe that the apocalypse is imminent and those that support communism will go to hell and those that oppose it will go to heaven.

They have rapidly become a voice in the conservative elements of the Republican Party and the news outlet has interviewed several of the prominent conservatives and some members of the Cabinet (Betsy DeVos for one).

What is the world (and our country) coming to.
