So if Russ Vought and Bob Kennedy were deliberately trying on behalf of an enemy to sicken and kill Americans by destroying the public health structure - what would they be doing differently?

New Republic: Vivek Ramaswamy was the headliner at a Turning Point event at Montana State. He was asked repeatedly by a hostile crowd why he thought he could adequately participate in electoral politics when he was non-White and non-Christian. He hadn’t thought the leopard would eat his own face.

“YOU hit HER.”

CHICAGO - Trump’s ICE goons ram into a passing car after snatching someone, then brutally drag the female driver of the car they hit out of her car with guns drawn and arrest her too. (Her brother says she’s a citizen)

There are more of us than there are of them—and we know our right to assemble peacefully and protest. I’m counting on my fellow Americans to prove that at the No Kings protest on Oct. 18.

Unbearably violent images from Downtown Chicago where a classical music concert was played on the Chicago River. This is too elegant and magical to be seen.

So they’ll use this base to hold “illegals”, have Qatar fly them to their cuntry, and do whatever the hell they want with them. Females will be especially vulnerable to sexual enslavement once there. All so the Trump crime family gets a plane and a golf course.

Trump’s building a golf course in Qatar.
He accepted a $400M luxury jet as a gift from Qatar.
His son-in-law got a $1.5B investment from Qatar and other Middle Eastern countries.
His top officials like Kash Patel and Pam Bondi worked for Qatar.

And now this.

Hegseth: I'm also proud that today we're signing a letter of acceptance to build a Qatari Emeri air force facility at the Mountain Home Airbase in Idaho.
