I’ve heard most journalists and politicians say that Trump hasn’t been directly accused of wrongdoing or implicated in the Epstein Files.

But, there are repeated instances of Trump being directly named as a perpetrator—by victims and by Epstein. It’s not circumstantial, it’s direct.

It's Trump policy that U.S. tech must be globally dominant.

It's also US policy that its tech corps must be free from:

Regulation. Taxation. Fact checking and monitoring for hate lies, disinformation.

All are now being treated as attacks on the U.S. itself.

The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.

The fact that an entire administration and fully 40% of America thinks it’s ok to send people to a concentration camp in the middle of nowhere,

without an OUNCE of evidence they committed a crime is INSANE!

It’s more shocking and frightening than anything I have seen from my countryman.

There are serious CSIS reports about some of his MPs. Pollievre knows but has not kicked them out. When it comes out he wants to claim that it's a total shock to him and that he definitely didn't knowingly allow it all along. Clearance would mean he was officially told and could no longer play dumb.

i have learned that way too many americans see the concept of 'freedom' simply as the potential to be rich and privileged, even if they aren't, & not things like freedom from dying from a preventable illness if you're poor, or being imprisoned for minor crimes, or persecuted by the police, etc

anyway calling these "war plans" when they were actually plans to blow up an apartment building full of civilians because the girlfriend of a guy we don't like lived there sounds more like "terrorism plans" or perhaps even more accurately "terrorism factory creation plans"

Not to be a wide-eyed naïf about such things but... am I right in thinking that they levelled an entire building to get to one guy and *that* is not controversial to anyone in the American media or political class, only that this information was recklessly shared in an unsecured chat?
