So, who likes Krispy Kremes?
I love Krispy Kremes.

There is no question that there are many posers, claiming to be on the right, but working against us. It will be interesting to see who those people are.

Of course, the Twitter and Facebook rules not allowing hacked material will not apply in this case.

I don’t know what an epik is, in this context.

However, geographically, an epik is a landmass that is embedded in the mantle, like a continent, and is just jutting above the ocean.

If you had an account on gab, parler, bitchute, etc... I would suggest you change all your passwords. They got usernames passwords, tsl certs, email accounts, everything.

If you use the same password for everything... you need to go change it now. If you use the same certificate for all your servers... you need to change it.

I deleted my Gab account.

I got tired of dealing with the antisemitism. Not everyone there is one but those there are loud, proud and blissfully ignorant.

No the Robinsons own their own server and host the site themselves.

Fortunately, I just got a new computer and I haven’t had time to sign on to those other accounts.

When I read or hear “far right,” I immediately translate that to Antifa/BLM.

Doesn't matter who they are ... to the media, they are Trump followers.
