Release the Epstein Files!
Why the sweetheart deal?
Why violate prison protocols?
Why the missing prison video?
Why hide the files?
Why say there's a list, then say there's no list?
Why deny victims justice?
Why close congress; the deciding vote is now present?
Why the federal shutdown distraction?

Cell where Jeffrey Epstein died never underwent proper inspection, experts say

The DHS propaganda video blaming Democrats for the shutdown is peak hypocrisy from the party that fired federal workers and now threatens to fire more. They gut paychecks, spread lies, and call it freedom. It’s political thuggery. Call it out. Share the truth

Mark Bray authored the book "The Anti-Fascist Handbook," in 2017. Apparently, some disgruntled people are trying get him fired. I don't think Rutgers will comply.

Anyway, you can read the book for yourself and learn more American history, then decide for yourself what all this nonsense is about.

If The Loud Boys and The Oath Breakers had their way, they would each be equivalent SSA.

Of course, that didn't work out too well for Ernst Röhm and his cohort.

I am awe-struck.
A new world record for Nobel Prizes.
It's remarkable, really.
Congratulations to each and all, and to U.C. Berkeley.

These discoveries span decades and disciplines, but they all have one important thing in common: They’ve all relied on competitive funding from the federal government.

Oof. The more they fail, the more they lie. They are lying all the time now, which means they are failing all the time.

It's insulting to the sensibilities of decent Americans.

Lies, and the lying Liars Who Tell Them, by Al Franken.

GOP blocked the bill, and is now scrambling to recover because they know they stepped on a political land mine when blocking a bill to pay our troops during the shutdown.

Their lies are truly astounding.

America is anti-fascist. Period.

In this photograph, American anti-fascist troops may be seen storming the beaches at Normandy, France, in support of the anti-fascist Allied Forces during WWII, who beat back and defeated the Italian, German, and other fascist totalitarian regimes on the continent.
