The Epstein Files should have been released in full 3 weeks ago, instead Donald Trump has sent his Secret Police ICE out to cause trouble.
Donald Trump is one step away from insurrection, this time unlike Jan 7th he will do it using the Government's own forces.

It's been well over three weeks since the deadline set by law and they still haven't fully released the Epstein files because withholding exculpatory evidence is clearly what you do when you're "innocent."

This is now the third week they’ve been in violation of releasing the Epstein files
And nobody is in jail or being held in contempt.
What are we doing next guys?
Because we’re not letting this go.

Just a reminder, Trump's DOJ was required by LAW to release 100% of the Epstein files by December 19th. Guess what they've released so far? .6%! No wonder Trump has unleashed ICE goons in Minnesota. It makes for a great distraction.

Ukip have submitted a new logo and slogan to the Electoral Commission, swapping the £ pound sterling symbol for a cross, that looks very much like it is modelled on the Iron Cross used by Prussia & Germany 1871-1918 and Hitler's Nazi regime from 1933-45

Two paragraphs that get to the absolute heart of what Farage is all about: money and conning people.
Without the bankrolling, he’s a loser. But, if you think he’s on your side, so are you.
So are we all if these murky shits buy him power.

Disappointing to see the usual knee jerk reaction to the lifting of the 2 child cap. “You shouldn’t have children if you can’t afford it”.
Can they not get their heads around the idea that circumstances can change? A breadwinner abandons ship, or suffers unexpected illness, perhaps.
Shit happens.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?
