One of my black pill moments was that Biden actually focused on lifting the lowest quartiles up at the expense of the rich and the online left screamed at him about student loan forgiveness.

Epstein, Thiel, and their buddies figured out, probably from observing the aftermath of the collapse of the Soviet Union, that it's *much* easier to make a $ killing off preying upon a collapsing economy, than off a functioning, growing one.
This email between Epstein and JD Vance’s tech oligarch benefactor Peter Thiel where they plan to “collapse” society to create investment opportunities for themselves seems… not great

(They also met with the UN ambassador to Russia together)

Marimar Martinez is a schoolteacher and U.S. citizen. She had no weapon or criminal record, and a CBP officer still shot her five times.

That same officer then bragged about his horrific actions in a group chat.

It's disgusting, and it's shameful. He must be held accountable.
