The Trump and Witkoff families pocketed $187 million and $31 million respectively for selling out American security. It wasn’t just a corrupt business deal, it was an act of espionage.

These two Fox Cretins think child rape is funny. They laugh in the face of Trump-Epstein victims and survivors. In a normal world both would lose their jobs immediatly. But we do not live in a normal world. Laughing and making jokes in support of Jeffrey Epstein is only acceptable in Trump’s America

There is a lot of room for another network to simply hire all the 60 minutes employees, change the name to 90 Minutes, and run an hour and a half news show on Sunday nights. And the 90 minutes won't be enough to cover this administration's crimes.

I still think the best way to think of the ending of US AID is as the single worst genocide committed by any one US presidential administration.
even given all the horrific things the US has done, it's not really that close. 750k dead already; expected 14 million.

this is exactly why I am absolutely not willing to overlook anyone who was once “advocating for ending USAID” as merely committing a little oopsie-daisy-booboo, by the way
The Project 2025 author is using millions of dollars in USAID money for his own security detail.
It is estimated that 762,000 people have *already died* as a result of Elon Musk and Russell Vought’s obscene murder of USAID, including more than 500,000 children.
Vought is a mass murderer.
