According to Republicans pedophilia is legal as long as the stock market is high
Trump was right - when you're a "star" - a rich elite - Republicans just let you do it - rape kids

We're talking about a serial pedophile and Bondi told Jayapal to "Cut the theatrics" when asked about it. She needs to cut the shit. Changing the subject from children being raped to anything else doesn't fucking work. The entire world is cutting ties to anyone Epstein BUT US.

in what universe is it feasible to demand that one parent from each household kiss their income goodbye and become an expert at K-12 education? even with pre-made curricula that is wild. taking the responsibilities of a society and pushing them onto individuals (and ofc it’s gonna be mostly moms)

I remember being taught in high school social studies that destroying evidence would be considered evidence of guilt.
I wish it were true for governments, but we do not impeach enough justices.

The Trump admin is moving to quickly deport two men who witnessed, they say, ICE guards choke a fellow detainee to death.
The admin moved to deport men right after they spoke the Washington Post.
This is the death that the medical examiner has already ruled likely homicide.

The two men’s eyewitness accounts of the Jan. 3 death of Geraldo Lunas Campos at a Texas detention camp differ from the Department of Homeland Security’s account of the incident.

And still people say fascism is not here.
This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.
More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

An AP review of crimes committed by ICE agents shows how their powers can be abused:
One official admitted he repeatedly sexually abused a woman in his custody.
Another is charged with taking bribes to remove detention orders on people targeted for deportation.

Pam Bondi is the product of a diseased system.
A system that is so corrupt and beholden to the wealthy class, it cannot hold them accountable no matter what they do, even if it’s raping little girls on private islands.
This is why the oligarchs got behind Trump. To reside safely above the law.

Cox’s argument? Donald Trump never would have called halfpipe skier Hunter Hess “a real loser” if journalists hadn’t given Hess the opportunity to exercise his right to free speech.
It is the journalists’ fault that it happened, Cox reasoned.
