He tells us what he’ll do.
We laugh, then it happens.
He promised invasion; he invaded.
He promised troops at home; they’re here.
He promised retribution; prosecutors and investigators are now targets.
He seized ballots; he’s calling to seize elections.
This isn’t bluster; it’s a plan.

Epstein believed that he was ushering in some kind of political revolution in the late 2010s, supporting far-right candidates across Europe. But it's clear from reading his emails that he was learning how to fit into that world as it was being created.

It's very easy to say that Epstein latched on to 4chan and ignited the far-right populism wave, but, at least according to the emails of his we have, he was much more interested in cashing in on any kind of political chaos he could.

Q: The WSJ reported that the royal family of Abu Dhabi invested hundreds of millions into your World Liberty Financial. Can you decide why you decided to take that investment?
TRUMP: Well, I don't know about it. I know that crypto is a big thing and they like it. My family is handling that.

Thanks to CNN airing Kayla Schultz’s video of Pretti’s killing in higher resolution we have the best face shots of the first and main shooter— and in addition to the Texas flag it’s been noted he wears on the back, he also wears a vertical Texas flag in front.

Precisely this.
It’s too classified to send to *some* members of Congress. But there are absolutely folks who are (or could be) cleared to be read in.
Even if it’s got to be a Gang of Eight only issue, send it to Congress.

I wish folks would quit reporting that it’s too classified to send to Congress. No it’s not. That is Gabbard’s EXCUSE for obstructing it.

The GOP doesn't want a rule that ICE can't wear masks for fear of doxxing. If the agents weren't acting like absolute Gestapo thugs, it wouldn't be a problem.

The thing that makes the most sense at the moment is that the President‘s organization overthrew Epstein with Netanyahu’s blessing and is now in control of that network. That’s how he can shake down the nation’s most prestigious institutions.
