Nice to know so many power brokers and wealthy men are potentially / actually part of the Epstein led abuse of underaged women. Makes me feel like our country is led by morally upright men.

The debate about what Alex Pretti did or didn’t do is irrelevant.
The agents committed murder.
It wasn’t a “bad shoot”. It was a killing

ICE Nazis have murdered 9 people so far in 2026. Hold them all accountable for their crimes.
Then prosecute every single person from Donald Trump on down who is involved with this ICE thuggery.
Be sure to get the architect of this Nazi insanity, Stephen Miller and his racist, hateful wife too.
