The palace has reached a “tipping point” after Epstein revelations, and after Andrew invited a Chinese spy chief to lunch at Buckingham Palace.

History’s knocking again.

🚨NEW
The King seems like he’s preparing for the other shoe to drop.

Right as the late Virginia Giuffre’s memoir is about to drop (Oct 21)— The Times reports Charles is “considering all options,” including stripping Prince Andrew of his Duke of York title.

They want violence. Give them truth instead. Give them witnesses. Give them history that won’t let them sleep.

This is potentially a massive story. Did DOJ plan for survivors? Do they have sufficient evidence to prosecute? What is US jurisdiction to prosecute? Where will they go next? When is their court date? Will they be indicted? Held at Gitmo? Returned to Venezuela? Be Epsteined?

Why do you all not like this pup? He’s not Taylor Swift or Travis Kelce- he’s not in the #nfl but he’s deserving of more than 15 reposts to save his sweet #furty life! He’s part of #antifa and the #resistance and all he needs are some reposts! Yet he’s being ignored and that’s a death sentence!
