Endless wars to spook the next election and hide the Epstein evidence.

I am convinced that somewhere in the remaining part of The White House there is a wall-sized board titled Epstein Distractions, with something filled in for each day. Today, bombing Syria. What will tomorrow bring?

Release the Epstein files.

Sorry to say that ego and hubris (and recently tone-deafness to everyday American's needs) have paved many a POTUS contender's way. Let's make it very clear to the bloviate drunken whale what we think about his changes of succeeding: his giant overripe carcass DOA.
Dude who helped organize all-out attack on our democracy and refused to talk to Congress about it, and helped Epstein even after what he did was known. thinks he can be president. 🇺🇸 🤷🏼

Fascism is here.

Whether or not we stand up to and eradicate it is the only question left.

NO ONE is coming to save us...not Congress, not the courts, not law enforcement, not the military.

IF, and it's a substantial IF, we get out of this, it will be because of us.

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."

The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"

"Learned what?" she asks

Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

Reports and videos show ICE agents asking American citizens whether they’ve “learned their lesson over the last few days” are deeply troubling. Language like this implies intent and raises serious questions about premeditation and mindset on the scene.

From a law enforcement and use-of-force perspective, even suggesting that someone should “learn their lesson” in the context of a violent incident is inappropriate and professionally indefensible.

Federal officers and other public safety personnel are trained to de-escalate and act with clear operational purpose. Not to employ language that could be interpreted as punitive, retaliatory, or vindictive.

America really does have a five‑alarm fire in the White House: a president who openly says the only authority that can stop him is “my own morality. My own mind,” while standing on a record of criminal convictions, financial scams, and armed resource grabs abroad
