Tom Homan won't say if he took $50,000 cash in a bag from the FBI.

Pam Bondi also wouldn't answer.

If he didn't take the money, why not just release the tape?

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law.

They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.

I’m honestly looking for answers to these questions:
Does this deal screw our democracy?
Are there any steps we can take now to avoid a screwing or at least postpone it until after the mid-terms?

I try not to buy into conspiracy theories, but this deal smells, and I’m worried.

When did the Democratic Party finally lose its soul and help pave the way for an eventual US dictatorship? Look no further than the resolutions authorizing the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. They were blank checks to the Executive Branch to plunder and murder. America has never been the same.
US Senate unanimously endorses repeal of 2002 Iraq war resolution
The Senate has voted to repeal the resolution that authorized the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq, following a House vote last month that would return the basic war power to Congress more than two decades ...

Trump, a multi-felon, ordered the indictment of James and Comey. Meanwhile, we still don’t know what happened to the $50k Tom Homan received in a Cava bag, and a large number of voters strongly suspect that Trump is a pedophile. Everything is normal here.

Articles of impeachment need to be filed as soon as creepy Mike Johnson gets around to doing the part of his job that doesn’t involve protecting billionaire pedophiles. Let’s get to it, Jeffries.

I just called all three of my MAGA Congressional representatives and asked them to investigate why the FBI stopped investigating Tom Homan, what happened to the $50k, and did he pay taxes on it. I used the Capitol Switchboard by calling 1-202-224-3121. It was very easy. Keep up the pressure.

Noam and Bondi are going after ANTIFA. They are interrogating people about ANTIFA. Just warning you. I will not be able to withstand interrogation. If they interrogate me about what I know about ANTIfA, I’m going to dime out the author of this book.

Where have all the trusted journalists gone? Well, you can find some great ones at Drop Site News. Don’t bother searching at LA Times, WaPo, NYT, CNN, CBS, ABC, and NBC. It’s real slim pickings there.
