So tell me again how Nigel Farage, who just took the largest ever political donation, from a Tory mega-donor, and another donation from the Viscountess wife of the non-dom owner of the Daily Mail, is planning to "take on the establishment"

Thanking the leadership of the FBI? He just should have said thank me.🤣 Correction People are afraid to go out in the streets BECAUSE of ICE. A bunch of masked thugs snatching people makes no one feel safe.

Rand Paul tells me that he wants the full video of the Venezuelan boat strike released.
“And I think if the public sees images of people clinging to boat debris and being blown up, I think that there is a chance that finally, the public will get interested enough in this to stop this.”

Putin did not show any respect to the U.S. - U.S. delegation had to wait for three hours for Putin and then he rejected the U.S. peace plan.

A history prof I read here said that war is politics conducted in another way, and an extension of policy. He's quoting Clausewitz and he's not wrong; it's embedded in the US military.
But I think he, Clausewitz and the Us are all wrong. War is the expression of fear, greed and the lust for power

When the U.S. commits war crimes, acts of war, and meddles in the internal affairs of other countries, it jeopardizes our national security because it invites retaliation and sets precedence for others to follow suit.

Yesterday the President fell asleep, yet again, during a televised fake Cabinet meeting staged so that each of his courtiers could heap praise on him, praise for which he couldn't stay conscious. He woke up just long enough to spew racism. Why is this not being treated as an emergency? >

Someone asked me a good question on here. How do we stop ICE from violating our constitutional rights. We don't. Our local elected officials do that job. Our Governor, or Sheriffs our mayors, Police. They stop ICE. With force if necessary. That's how you stop ICE from pulling us out of our homes.
