The women are telling the truth.

Donald Trump is a serial pedophile and rapist.

With 14, 15, 16 year old girls, Trump was "a predator in action."

He deserves to be in prison forever.

With thanks to the BBC, we need to see MUCH more like this on American TV.

Our government has been fully kidnapped not only by the members of a deranged supernaturalist death cult, but by malevolent megalomaniacs who have figured out that their path to power will be cleared by taking advantage of the derangement of those same supernaturalist death cult members.

This senile liar who currently occupies the White House does not remember that he was President on January 6th.

If you voted for this senile liar, and if you enable him today, you clearly are ok with breaking America. The ruins of our once great nation are because of you.

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

I'm just not quite sure how long I'm supposed to stay in one state before switching. 15 minutes of snowflake then 15 minutes of murderous radical? Or should I be doing longer intervals like an hour? Or just picking every other day?

Right, so that is why I was sharing facts. Unless you're saying this is wrong?

Not exactly, though the U.S. does host detachments of foreign militaries.

Thanks for sharing this. The swirling misinformation about this is frustrating. Also, I believe the Mountain Home base in Idaho is already home to a similar training facility for Singapore military.

Three thoughts which may or not be related:

1. Trump is a fucking orange Mussolini wannabe.

2. Benito left his mark on Italy with huge construction projects but his buildings didn't save him from being strung up in the end.

3. It's good to have something to look forward to.

“Originalism”. Have you heard of it? It’s the white supremos’ response to the Warren Court’s expansion of civil rights in the 1960’s. COMPLETELY MADE UP BULLSHIT that rewrote history AND the Constitution.

This COUP was a 55 year process. Their project is almost complete. It’s called Project 2025.

A woman who entered the country through a fraudulent process is using kidnapped children as pawns to protect her husband and a global network of wealthy pedophiles who are in the process of gross human rights violations including ethnic cleansing.

Even with that I feel like I missed something.

A First Lady working with her husband to keep it a secret that he’s a child rapist…

Just so we're clear.

Any party who tells you who you can love, what gender you are, which books you can read, what history you can learn, what prayers you can offer, what you can say, where you can piss, what you can do with your own body ...

Doesn't believe in freedom.

Do I think it's appropriate for U.S. military to be closely aligned with Qatar, and allow them to have a presence at a U.S. military base?

No.

Is this the first foreign country we've made similar arrangements with?

FWIW, also no.

My god, I miss having a president who had the capability to be thoughtful, humble, inclusive, inspirational, and articulate.

Hell, these days, I'd settle for just one attribute from that list.

It's worth spending 2 minutes to watch this as a reminder the world we now live in is not what must be.

Flashback Friday:

Former President Barack Obama was awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace after being in office for less than 8 months.

“The Nobel Committee lauded Obama for his “extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.”

After first WTC bombing, the US Gov issued an arrest warrant for KSM. He was in Qatar. A Qatari Royal gave him the heads up that the US was coming to get him and he fled to Pakistan. From there, he linked up with Bin Laden and became the mastermind of 9/11.

Now Qatar gets an Air Force base in US.
