The USA is no longer a reliable ally for Europe. We must build a European defence capability which is totally independent of the Americans. It will cost European taxpayers to do so, but we must stop fooling ourselves that Trump would ever honour the NATO article 5 commitment.
Hegseth: "We must start by recognizing that returning to Ukraine's pre-2014 borders is an unrealistic objective ... the US does not believe that NATO membership for Ukraine is a realistic outcome of a negotiated settlement."

Alex Pretti killers: Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez.
Renee Good killer: Jonathan Ross.

All three have something major thing in common. The Trump regime openly lied about their crimes and tried to cover them up, going as far as going on TV to defame & smear the victims as terrorists.

Really striking going through Epstein disclosures just how often British defamation lawyers are referred to: Schillings; Paul Tweed; oblique suggestions to sue to silence

Why? Because our libel laws let rich and powerful buy silence

ICE is now claiming it can arrest people without a warrant.

This comes after another internal memo asserting ICE agents can forcibly enter homes without a judicial warrant.

Hello? Democrats cannot let these blatantly unconstitutional actions continue. Not another penny for ICE.

Would he mind elaborating on deaths?
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche admits that the DOJ excluded all images showing “death, physical abuse, or injury” from yesterday’s Epstein files release.

Joe Biden kisses kids in the top of their heads and republicans lose their minds.

Donald Trump raped, auctioned, and likely murdered kids and republicans say, ‘fuck them kids’.

Quote from Trump just minutes ago:

"The Republicans should say, we should take over the voting in at least 15 places.... The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting."

In modern history, there's never been a bigger threat to our Constitution and our way of life than and his enablers.

When a president talks about skipping elections and floating an unconstitutional 3rd term, it’s not hard to see what this is and what it isn’t.

Seizing election material in a state that already counted the 2020 results three separate times isn’t about election integrity.

It’s about preparation.

It seems they're now censoring on his "truth" ⁽ˢⁱᶜ⁾ network.

I posted this a few hours ago but it's no longer there...

(I've censored part of it myself on this screenshot because I don't like to offend people here as much as I enjoy offending MAGA - but it's words I regularly use on that site.)

Both experience and logic tell us that a democracy cannot be expected survive if it allows sweeping power to be granted to people whose intention is to subvert the democratic and constitutional functioning of the state.

It isn’t “democratic” to allow such people to take power.

It’s suicidal.

Let's ask the question: How many times do the following people show up being named in the Epstein Files:

President Joe Biden: 0
President Barack Obama: 0
MN Governor Tim Walz: 0

President Donald Trump: 4,500

Does any Republican not see the problem?

Trump and Brexit were kleptofascist projects. Financed and promoted by the same people.

The reality is that if the oligarchs could exploit younger and older people more, they would take virtually all of the financial benefits.
Dr Oz: "If we could get the average American to start working a year earlier, right out of high school, or a year later -- not retire -- or work better during their lifetime because they're healthy, it would generate about $3 trillion to the US economy. That would more than remove the debt."
