Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

Mueller report did nothing. Impeachment did nothing. Insurrection did nothing. Documents did nothing. Fraud and felonies did nothing. I doubt Epstein will. They will say they know nothing about it and move on. They have never come out against any pedo in their group.

Whatever works for you. The Felon wants him to amp it up in return. I am glad to see he is not like the Felon.

I don't think they are doing state invasions as a distraction from the Epstein files but I do think they are speeding things up in order to consolidate more state power before the files are inevitably seen. But having them off a preferred timeline is at least an advantage.

Data centers are receiving billions in state tax exemptions.

These centers, many owned by Big Tech giants, are driving up electric bills and sucking up huge amounts of water.

AI is boosting the stock portfolios of the richest Americans while everyone else pays the price.

Exactly the same. That is the point of suing. Having the police do what you say escalates and gives the Felon a reason to bring in the military. You get that right. Right now the Felon wants him arrested. That is how well Pritzker is doing.

Pritzker: "He said he was going after the worst of the worst. It's not going after the worst of the worst when you're just literally stopping children who happen to be brown & asking them for papers as if they're gonna have proof they're a citizen. Pull out your phones and film everything you see"

Every Congressional Republican needs to answer: Do you support the President's call to imprison the Governor of Illinois and Mayor of Chicago?

Trump is not a king. This is not acceptable. Do Republicans want a dictator or a President?

The City of Chicago has a welcoming city ordinance that largely prohibits police from cooperating with ICE agents and investigations in most cases. Chicago police said they were at the scene only to help with crowd control and did not assist ICE in the operation.
