Massive insider trading. Thirty minutes before Trump’s China tariff announcement, a crypto “whale” opened a $100M+ short on Bitcoin.

So short sided.
They want to hurt people to put pressure on Democrats, but it’s already backfiring.

At some point, the funding shutdown will end, and we will enter a staffing shutdown, where nothing works because they fired the people who made the government work.

Buffoonery.

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.

A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Everett after an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia, according to his mother and immigration lawyer Andrew Lattarulo.

The boy’s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was told her son was taken by ICE, Berto told the Globe in a phone interview.

“My world collapsed,” Berto said in Portuguese.

From the police department, the boy was taken to ICE’s holding facility in Burlington on Thursday evening, where he spent a night before being transferred by car to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Winchester, Va., on Friday morning, his mother said. The juvenile facility is more than 500 miles away from Everett.

The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States, Lattarulo said.

The Trump ideology.

Everyone who doesn’t agree is liar.

Everyone who doesn’t cooperate is a criminal or a traitor.

Every news report that makes you look bad is fake news.

Every mistake made is an overwhelming success.

Release the identity of the “Antifa founder’s girlfriend”, “that you have in custody”.

The name of the Antifa founder’s girlfriend who is in ICE custody should be released anytime now. They have been questioning her for at least 3-4 days now.

“I … met with the governor, met with the mayor, met with the chief of police, and the superintendent of the highway patrol. They’re all lying, and disingenuous, and dishonest people,” Noem said, because they wouldn’t back up her baseless claims that the streets were overrun with terrorists.

Kristi Noem’s America, folks. That poor dog. That poor family.

Tweet by Aaron Reichlin-Melnick: “Border Patrol reportedly shot a dog and then the agent fled rather than deal with any kind of accountability whatsoever.”
Below is Keith Edwards’ tweet: “BREAKING: A family in El Paso says ICE shot and killed their dog, Chop. The agent who fired reportedly ran as the family screamed for help. No one came.”

A black-background screenshot of text describing an incident: the sender says no Border Patrol agents rendered aid after their dog was shot, and that the responsible agent fled the scene with help from others. They emphasize that the agent’s name was never released and that their family lost a member “for no lawful reason.”

I hope, eventually, one will emerge and set him/herself apart from the rest. People will notice and hang on every word they report, and the lemmings will follow.

It hurts to watch because we have nobody, not one person who will do this today. And, I honestly have to wonder, how many so-called journos, talking tv heads, celebrity anchors under 50 (and most are) have ever seen this or even know who Murrow was.

In a huge coincidence, a Bitcoin billionaire just-so-happened to put up massive leveraged bets against Bitcoin and Ethereum right before Trump posted about new tariffs on China, prompting a market crash.

$200m in profits instantly. $200m we know about, because they likely used many accounts.

Satoshi-era whale shorted $1.1B in BTC and ETH 30 minutes before Trump tariffs, banking $190M-$200M as liquidations hit $19.33B.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

High standard of living can never be free.

You end up paying more in a system of middle men who privatize everything and take a profit from every exchange.

Americans pay higher taxes than just about every country in the world- we just don’t pay them to our government- and we don’t get value for it

They would stop lying, and would answer questions, if it was the only way for them to get any airtime.

The JD Vance interviews show how broken the Sunday morning political show format has become. Such interviews are a purely performative exercise.

The second “No Kings” protest is set to take place nationwide on October 18, in opposition to Donald Trump and his administration.

Organizers anticipate over 10 million participants, which would make it one of the largest protests in American history.

Truth-

Cooler heads prevailed. Even President Miller decided it was a bad idea. “

When Trump is gone, the country is going to eat this guy’s lunch. He might pass Trump’s second term for the worst presidential term ever. Total fail.

In Trump's America, you're a hell of a lot more likely to be kidnapped off the street and beaten by masked goons cosplaying as ICE agents than you are to be assaulted by an immigrant.
