People angry over Alex Pretti's killing who are harping on about "video evidence" of murder need to keep in mind that the Rodney King verdict was announced on April 29, 1992. That's almost 34 years of the American justice system telling you that it doesn't care about "video evidence."

MAGAts complain about "globalists" and "foreigners" at the same time their Dear Leader is owned by a Ketamine-addled Nazi from South Africa.🤔

I hate when people use the word "decimated" when what they mean is "obliterated." To "decimate" something means "to reduce by 1/10th." The word was used to describe the Roman legions' collective punishment for cowardice where one out of every ten men in that offending unit would be executed.

The Dutch are a straightforward and direct people. When they say "eat the rich," they mean it.
Johan de Witt: That time the Dutch people ate their prime minister

Donald Trump's comment to Marjorie Taylor Greene, regarding the release of the Epstein files, was his "friends will get hurt.” However, Donald Trump has no friends. The only person that Donald Trump really cares about is Donald Trump. I wonder what's in the files that he doesn't want people to see?

Anyone who thinks releasing the Epstein files is going to make a difference to Trump's core supporters don't really understand who Trump's core supporters are.

"He was killed on camera. No one’s family deserves to have to witness that. It’s unthinkably cruel that people would then go on the internet and use their platform to say about an innocent man that 'I don’t care that he’s dead. He’s not a hero. He’s a scumbag. He shouldn’t be celebrated.'"

They've caught Charlie Kirk's assassin, Tyler B. Robinson, and --surprise surprise-- he is the son of a cop and a registered Republican.
