It's a spying facility and a way to further entrench influence on US soil by one of the world's worst terrorist states

Why a Qatari airbase in Idaho? Trump and the terrorist states like Qatar and Russia that bribe him want to see the US destroyed in a civil war and seize what they can. Qatar will back Trump. The airbase is an invasion to ensure US chaos and destruction.

In 2016, Trump met with the pariah dictator of Egypt at the UN General assembly. Then $10M from Egypt went to Trump. As president, he released billions in blocked US weapons to Egypt and gave its dictator a White House visit. Under Trump, the US is for sale gaslitnation.libsyn.com/important-bo...

Trump and Hegseth give Qatar an airbase in Idaho and Qatari pilots will be flying jets over American airspace. Their lavish gifts and personal business deals with Trump worth billions really paid off for them.

Qatar is such a dangerous terrorist threat that several neighboring states sanctioned it for years. This is like letting Russia open a military base on US soil, which could also happen. Trump sells the US to foreign adversaries

So this is what Qatar/Hamas got in exchange for releasing the hostages and of course the "palace in the sky" plane Qatar gave him, and he illegally accepted, also helped

Happening now: we're at the Broadview ICE facility outside Chicago.

CCSO + Broadview police are telling protesters + press they can't stand on the west side of 25th Street for any reason.

We asked what the precise public safety issue is. They just said they're anticipating cars coming through.

HA! How much is Stephen Miller a propagandist? He’s saying the building in Chicago raided by DHS, where children were zip-tied and citizens dragged out, was “full of Tren de Aragua terrorists.”

Even DHS’s own account claims just TWO gang members total — and even that is a highly suspect claim!

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 14h

Stephen Miller just said that Chicago ICE raid was one of the most successful law enforcement operations ever. I asked Pritzker to respond.

"If this was Pinochet’s Chile, if this was Argentina under authoritarian rule, maybe you’d call it successful," he said. 2/
