TRUMP AND EPSTEIN – THEIR RELATIONSHIP WORTH BILLIONS OF DOLLARS! Probably true and yet Epstein said that "if he dies, Trump did it!" This Dictator crossed the line -it's time for Americans to fight him! He is an Epstein pedophile-there is proof! He is a Con artist-proof!

Trump’s DOJ is no longer a neutral law enforcement agency — it’s his personal strike force.

When prosecutors are chosen for loyalty over competence, we stop having justice and start having vengeance.

Inside the Justice Department Where the President Calls the Shots

The president has executed a wholesale transformation of the Justice Department, taking control in ways he could have only dreamed of in his first term.

Within days of Trump demanding James Comey’s prosecution, the DOJ delivered.
Coincidence? Hardly.
This is what happens when the guardrails are gone.

Trump’s not just talking about retribution anymore — he’s doing it.
Calling for governors’ arrests. Indicting critics. Bending the DOJ to personal grudges.

It's turning into a CIVIL WAR when they send out of state Southern troops to Northern states. We need local law enforcement protection for peaceful protesters.

Make no mistake. This nonsense about Antifa is directly tied to the 2026 and 2028 elections. It’s the “crisis” they will use as justification to shut down key voting centers.

I fully support @jollygoodginger.bsky.social in what he's saying here. Masked men kidnapping children off the street isn't OK. Maybe they are ice maybe they are just kidnappers. Who knows. We need to do better for the children they shouldn't be kidnapped leaving school.

The vindictive prosecutions of political enemies are not a distraction from the Epstein files - they’re one and the same: wielding the power of the DoJ to persecute your foes AND to protect your friends.

Bondi says she’s ending the “weaponization” of the DOJ — while prosecuting Trump’s critics and shielding his allies. Orwell would be impressed.

We can’t let this new “Department of Trump” replace the Department of Justice. America deserves better than this sham.
