To be clear, not one single person sincerely believes that "from the river to the sea" is a genocidal or antisemitic slogan. They're just pretending to believe that in order to get new laws passed which crush free speech that is critical of a genocidal apartheid state.

All judges must be in the independent judicial branch.

Letting Emperor Zero fire immigration and administrative law judges when he doesn't like their rulings makes him all of judge, jury, and executioner.

This is not what the Founder's intended.

They are concentration camps.

Stephen Miller, who nobody elected, is the mastermind. His boss couldn't organize this if his life depended on it. He only cares about bilking more billions. But he likes the racism, so he lets the bat fly.

Mark my words.

The Democrats will fuck up during the midterms & say that they need to preserve ICE & DHS, ignoring the people. Just like they fucked up in '24 because they just couldn't not do genocide, disregarding the people.

These are not serious people. They're clowns & grifters.

In this email Epstein seems to have been arranging meetings with Netanyahu

The exchange between Jes Staley, Roy Navon & Epstein, includes the words: “Against all odds, we have been granted a meeting with PM Netanyahu”

This was 2011, after Epstein’s conviction

Take a look at Navon's signature..

If Epstein was a Russian asset, why were three Israeli leaders meeting him?
By now, you’re probably aware of Epstein’s close relationship with former Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak. People are citing this as evidence that Epstein worked for Israel, however, Netanyahu has d...

These are warehouses for HUMAN BEINGS: windowless concrete concentration camps.

Stephen Miller wants the Land of the Free to be "The Land Where They Stash Humans They Don't Like In Warehouses and Bill The Taxpayer For It."

The final boss of capitalism is humans in warehouses. For profit.
In the last month ICE has bought warehouses in:

- Hagerstown, MD: $102 million
- Surprise, AZ: $70 million
- Hamburg, PA: $87 million
- Tremont, PA: $120 million
- San Antonio, TX: $82 million
- El Paso, TX: $123 million
- Social Circle, GA: price unknown

This is unprecedented.
