My fear.Trump is forming a private army, by essentially creating another war between the states. He’s obviously panicked that he’s running out of time to achieve total autocracy. We, the proudly woke, can take back Congress and stop him. open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

djt: "We have certain things in common, Jeffrey."

Epstein: "Yes we do, come to think of it."

djt: "A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday- and may every day be another wonderful secret."

And by "wonderful secret", he means raping children.

I found out we lost Polly Holiday belatedly. I’ve been searching 4 a good picture. I ended up in tears watching her in Part 2 of the hysterectomy episodes. She was SO GOOD.
I met Polly right after college at the Asolo State Theater where she was the leading lady.Brilliant actress.
So grateful 4 her

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

He finally got his revenge against the man who asked him if he was up past his jail time.

Now it's up to us to ask why he's terrified to release #TheEPSTEIN_PedoFiles.
