If you’re wondering why Democratic staffers are happily leaking photos of Epstein with the likes of Bill Clinton and Larry Summers you’re really not paying attention.
The parties (and their voters) are *not* the same.
The Dems are not perfect and have ample problems.
But GOP is different.

Trump meant it when he said at rallies if they put him back in office, there won't be any more elections. He still means it. He is going to stop the 2028 election and maybe even the 2026 election.

26 Anglican bishops sit in the Lords. Not a Catholic, Moslem, Hindu, Methodist or Presbyterian amongst them . This archaic structure is an insult to us all . Get them out. They do not even prevent child abuse in their churches , why should we respect their place as lawmakers ?

Labour are attacking Greens. Fine. I have yet to see any party that has entirely affordable aspirations.
But at least the Greens HAVE aspirations.
Labour have seemingly decided the status quo cannot be touched, even when it doesn't work for 90% of people, or the viability of life on the planet.

There are so many holes in DHS’s story it’s nuts. They say this woman was driving her boyfriend’s car, who they claim is undocumented.
ICE pulls her over, see she’s alone, know they are looking for a man, and still handcuff her while she screams “I am a US citizen,”.
Why is ICE harassing women?
