Since our elected officials refuse to do their job, mainly the #GOP, it seems what is left of the #freepress must work to investigate all of these allegations fully.
Ted Lieu: “Donald Trump is in the Epstein files thousands and thousands of times. In those files, there are highly disturbing allegations of Donald Trump raping children … of Donald Trump threatening to kill children. So I encourage the press to go look at these allegations.”

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

So two foreign nationals discussed Jared Kushner, a guy who couldn't get security clearance but was able to get $2 billion from Saudi Arabia? And the content of the report is so sensitive that it can't be made public?
Seems like Jared's dad may not wind up being the only felon in the family.

Correct. When it comes to these beliefs there is nothing new under the sun.
If more people studied history, they'd know that the things present-day rightwing arseholes say about women are just the things the Nazis said about women, which are just the things that a bunch of 18th-century pricks said about women, as soon as modernity started to give them opportunities.
