Total uncalled for and unconscionable cruelty. Nothing new for Trump and his corrupt inept kakistocracy. It must end and end now.

Hundreds marched through San Francisco Saturday evening in solidarity with Minneapolis after federal agents shot and killed 37-year-old nurse Alex Pretti. It was at least the third shooting involving federal agents in the city in three weeks.

Noem:
"An individual approached US border patrol officers... The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently."
Video footage from multiple angles proves that this is outright bullshit.
Alex Pretti did not approach ICE officers nor did he react violently.

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him.
The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

Truth is :they actually do. China has more wind power than any other country.

Donald Trump claims America is not being treated fairly by NATO. Nothing could be further from the truth. Trump + his administration has brought this all on themselves. The American people will have to pay the price. Every time Trump doesn't get his way he ALWAYS claims he's being treated unfairly.

The French gave Trump Intel in confIdence because they suspected he was leaking to Putin. So they set up a sting. He gave it to Putin. He did.
