The irony here is that he lost to a WOMAN…..who is HISPANIC, both of which he hates…..and whose citizens he’s been randomly blowing out of the water and joking about.

I'm Antifa, I'm not getting paid. Nor are my 4 friends, who are attending the No Kings Protest In Philadelphia with me. It is costing us over $500 for a hotel for 2 nights. Then there is the cost of food & drinks (of course), gas & tolls. Please advise where to send my receipts for reimbursement

They make up lies about paid agitators doing violence, and attach them to the name of a prominent Jewish person. This is antisemitism, and it infects every part of the GOP.

Sen. Roger Marshall: "October 18 is when the protest gets here. This will be a Soros paid-for protest for his professional protesters. The agitators show up. We'll have to get the National Guard out. Hopefully it will be peaceful. I doubt it."

Trump takes corruption to a new level—pocketing a $400M jet from Qatar, planning a $5.5B Trump-branded resort in Doha, and greenlighting a Qatari airbase in Idaho in return.

Peter Thiel and Musk have also taken large sums from Qatar.

Clearly, money matters more than this country.

Some immigrants have tried to self-deport using a Trump-promoted app. Many are still here, despite the government giving them departure dates and promises of safe travel. @melissa-sanchez.bsky.social and @mariamelba.bsky.social have a deeply reported, riveting account of people stranded in America.

“I Don’t Want to Be Here Anymore”: They Tried to Self-Deport, Then Got Stranded in Trump’s America

Venezuelan immigrants signed up for a Trump-promoted app called CBP Home, which promised a safe and easy way to leave the country, and prepared to leave on their given departure dates. Those dates hav...

Why a Qatari airbase in Idaho? Trump and the terrorist states like Qatar and Russia that bribe him want to see the US destroyed in a civil war and seize what they can. Qatar will back Trump. The airbase is an invasion to ensure US chaos and destruction.

ICE is deliberately provoking demonstrators as well as interested bystanders in order to justify Trump's insistence that Chi is a "war zone" and aggressive measures are necessary. Everyone at a "contact" point should film as much action as possible. #ProudBlue

Donny, who wants out of NATO, signed a faux-NATO agreement deeming an attack on Qatar an attack on USA.

And now a Qatari Airbase in Idaho.

Qatar, whose rep wrote "we are all Hamas".

But America First, right?

The thing abt Krasnov gifting Qatar a military airbase on US soil is:

Krasnov is at Walter Reed not getting his yearly check up.

Krasnov did not win the Nobel Peace 🏆 as compelling as zip-tying kids & shooting a pastor in the head w pepper balls is.

AND

KRASNOV IS ALL OVER THE EPSTEIN FILES.
