OK. It's going to be coming out soon because of the relentless investigations of Pam Bondi and Kash Patel, so I might as well admit it before the news breaks:

I am the General Counsel of Antifa.

Lord Heseltine, "The number of people aged below 50 who think it was right for us to leave the European Union, is less than 20%

"The latest polls tells us 56% now believe it was mistake to leave the European Union"

Hands up if you are one of the 56% 🙋‍♂️

Always bring it back to the Epstein Files.

Release the Epstein Files—seat Rep. Grijalda.

That's Trump's weakness and Achilles cankle.

He can't run or hobble away from it.

Republicans know it.

They know they radicalized their base for the past decade.

They know Trump is all up in those files.

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"

I did not say that. I said that I believe for Trump (and his buddies) sexism seems to be a more determining factor than racism. And your assumptions about me may or may not be correct.

$A hyper-realistic digital illustration of a cracked golden crown resting on dark pavement under moody dusk lighting. The crown’s surface is tarnished and fractured, reflecting the fading light. Above it, bold metallic text reads “11 DAYS UNTIL NO KINGS DAY,” with “DAY” positioned beneath “NO KINGS.” The atmosphere feels somber and cinematic, symbolizing the fall of power.$

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

I didn’t reply personally because sth was directed at me. I didn’t think of who was commenting but about what they were saying. And trust me if everyone was thinking like this, this would be a better place.

Trump also thinks whoever disagrees with him is insufferable. Food for thought.

I replied to a persons post that said ww have it good. (not the OP). I replied to the post. It’s not personal. Saying all women suffer under Trump is not insensitive imo, its a fact. If you want to read too much into it, be my guest.
