A Republic If You Can Keep It @arepublicif.bsky.social · 20h

The President of the United States is a child rapist & batshit crazy malignant narcissist…

He doesn’t want to go to jail so he never wants to leave office…

He is trying to foment civil war so he can evolve a police state & forego elections…

BECAUSE. HE. IS. A. CHILD. RAPIST.

The on again/off again tariffs are a massive inside trading scam being run directly by Donald Trump.

If you needed an air base to attack Washington, Oregon, California or Colorado, Idaho seems like a great place to put it.

We’re watching an entire political party actively protect the single most infamous sex-trafficking operation of our time.

This isn’t just silence—it’s complicity at the highest level.

I just assume the entire religion is a total sham given that none of them are actually practicing what their deity commands of them. Every “Christian” I know loves Trump and guns, celebrates ICE, hates LGBTQ people, and so on. Exactly the opposite of who they’re supposed to be.

Congress: Do your goddamned job! Tariffs are YOUR authority and responsibility, not his. Take back your power and put grandpa to bed. He is unstable and unwell, suffering from dementia and delusions of grandeur. He is destroying the country and the blame is 100% on Republicans for not stopping him.

I’d imagine that if the United States military refuses to do certain things to citizens, having a foreign military within our borders could prove quite useful to dear leader.

I can't wait for this motherfucker to burn in the hell I don't believe in. His time is coming soon. This evil regime will be toppled long before next year's midterms; once the truth about his involvement with Epstein comes out, the Republicans will line right up with the Democrats to crucify him.

Oh look, the worst felon of them all, the one who trafficked & raped children, stole from a kids charity & ran a scam university amongst countless other crimes, is accusing others of fabricated crimes to distract us all from the fact that HE TRAFFICKED AND RAPED CHILDREN WITH HIS BEST PAL EPSTEIN!!

This is the story of the century. A massive cover up of child sex trafficking and abuse at the hands of some of the world’s richest and most influential people, with Donald Trump at the head of it all with his bestie Jeffrey Epstein.

Jon Cooper @joncooper-us.bsky.social · 3d

Mike Johnson’s abrupt closure of the House had more to do with stalling a congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation than previously reported, and it appears to have been a direct response to the Treasury’s surrender of Epstein’s financial records.

SCOOP: Johnson closed House hours after Congress received Epstein’s financial records

The decision to shut down the House — and by extension the government — came hours after the Oversight Committee received documents from the US Treasury.

“The Wall Street Journal is reporting that when Trump posted the infamous “Truth” to Pam Bondi, directing her to indict Comey, he thought he was DMing her. Trump was “surprised to learn it was public,” according to the Journal.”

…and this colossal idiot has access to nuclear weapons.

Some cases take on outsized importance, with issues that transcend the decision the parties ask the courts to make. This is one of those cases. The stakes are high: the integrity of the Justice Department and the ability of a president to corrupt the rule of law. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Expect the government shut down to last a long time. They refused to swear in Adelita because she's got the last vote needed to force movement on Epstein. The longer the shut down, the more time they have to find a way through the fact that the president likely trafficked and raped underage girls.

I don’t get it. If he has the authority to ban ICE from places why not ban them from the whole city? Declare policing with masks unlawful and use local police and state national guard to arrest anyone doing that.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

It breaks my heart when people give up their animals. It is so painful for the animal especially pack animals like dogs to be evicted from their pack. He will clearly have a better life with you.
