Whatever's in the #EpsteinFiles was bad enough to make Trump invade Venezuela, kill 80+ people including 32 Cuban nationals and abduct their President to distract from refusing the court order to release the Epstein File. The Epstein files holds the secrets some VERY powerful men in the world.

"Trump thinks about economics less like a businessman...[and more like] a warlord or a gangster: He imagines wealth as something to be plundered and hoarded by the strong. ... his crude ideas offer little more than an outdated fantasy of hemispheric supremacy."

Remember, MAGA voted for Trump, who pledged no more wars and no more starting wars—he promised to end all wars. Now, it looks like the United States is about to initiate war in Venezuela.

Michigan MAGA thinks money for students, public safety, housing, and community centers is “waste, fraud, and abuse.”

These cuts will make life less affordable for more people. If you can't lead, get out the way.
