Trump, Netanyahu and the state of Israel are murdering everyone, Americans included, with impunity.

It’s almost as if Trump had no one qualified to advise him from bankrupting the US.
Or he doesn’t care as long as he’s enriching himself and his Oligarch donors 🤔🤔

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life.
The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

To the “Trump wouldn’t do that” crowd, he murdered a boat full of civilians last week and lied about it. We still don’t know who was killed.

Let’s be clear: when people say the Charlie Kirk video is “graphic,” they’re not admitting they haven’t seen the footage from Gaza. They’re signaling that they can view images from Gaza without feeling any emotional response, because they don’t see Palestinians as fully human.

Isn’t it amazing that when you explain things in simple language to people, things that are relevant to them, people suddenly understand what’s happening and how they affect people. Even better when you point out what Farage actually stands for. His voting record is proof of his true colours.
