He also helped the campaign to scrap the minerals tax, that at least made the mining corps give a little something back in return for exploiting massive amounts of resource wealth?

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)

This cannot be something a civilian law enforcement agent is allowed to wear in the US — and an agency that has a culture that tolerates this cannot be saved.
Fucking surreal that people dressed like this and carrying assault rifles are permitted to kidnap people off our streets

Billionaire Clive Palmer (Steve Bannon’s mate) going to court to stop donation reform and maximum donation limits is the exact reason that they need to happen.
If billionaires weren’t able to impact policy he wouldn’t care about the caps.

Hmmm ICE targeting select election locations. This is exactly how Putin runs pretend elections. Given Putin is Bannon, JD and Donny Rapist’s boss I am sure they are on the same election templates
Steve Bannon says they’re going to “have ICE surround the polls” in November.
(They don’t have enough people to do that everywhere, but they could target select locations.)
