Yesterday they were shooting priests in the head with rubber bullets. Today they're arresting journalists. If you have anyone in your life who doesn't regularly follow the news and doesn't understand how bad things are and how bad they're about to get, you need to tell them right now. Time is short.

I remember when the GOP & right-wing hacks accused all Muslims of being Qatari agents & anyone who worked at Al Jazeera English or AJAM of being terrorists and extremists.

So, what does that make Donald Trump, who accepted a $400 million jet from them & now is letting them build a base on US soil?

Eric Swallwell (D-CA) says it’s coming to an end and House Republicans are privately breaking, that a “jailbreak” is brewing the moment the Epstein files hit the floor, and that Trump’s aura of fear is finally cracking.
