I can't stop thinking about the purported drug smugglers being murdered by the US military. The punishment for drug offenses isn't the death penalty. This is just bloodlust and men in suits playing with lives they don't care about. It's truly grotesque and gravely compromises this country.

Absolutely HORRIFIC that the genocidal maniacs are allowed to partake.. in anything really!!!
This pandering to a country who openly and gleefully butchers thousands of innocent people reminds me of a certain Olympic Games in 1936 to be honest!!

I see Anthony Casey and his vigilante group are going to set up something new. A 'human trafficking' faction to look into IPAS centres and a PSA licenced 'security' crew to 'police protests' and keep people 'safe'. The delusions are strong on this one.

Adam Parsons frames the latest Israeli air strike on Gaza as retaliation for a Hamas attack on IDF soldiers

Israel has violated the ceasefire hundreds of times, killing hundreds of Palestinians. Why didn't Adam frame the Hamas attack as retaliation for what Israel has done?
