This was pre-planed by trump to own Gaza. Netanyahu was tasked with demolishing it. Done. 200,000+ people were murdered in the process: I hope that he understands that what he is suggesting is ethnic cleansing and should never even be whispered as a wish.

Why has Dominion Voting Systems been settling defamation lawsuits with Trump allies who falsely claimed the company stole the 2020 election?

It was always easy for our military to terrorize citizens, as Miller describes.

That's not the point.

The point is that this is America—not the Third Reich—and OUR MILITARY ISN'T TO BE USED THIS WAY.

Anyone who can't understand and accept this was NEVER a fan of America, democracy, or rule of law

Karoline Leavitt can wear a thousand crosses, go to church a hundred times a week, and scream about “Christian values.” The truth is: she works for a corrupt criminal, convicted felon, two-bit con, lying, cheating fraud and lies every single day to protect him. That’s not faith. That’s a sin.

History repeating itself — because capitalism never learns. Economic collapse shattered Germany in the 1930s, allowing fascism to rise from the wreckage. Amid national humiliation and mass unemployment, Hitler exploited the public fear and redirected economic rage.

Americans are no wiser than the Europeans who saw democracy yield to fascism, Nazism or communism. Our advantage is that we learn from their experience. Now is a good time to do so. Be alive to the fatal notions of emergency and exception. Be angry about the treacherous use of patriotic vocabulary.
