It’s pretty fucking wild that the DOJ is releasing files that include accusations that the President of the United States raped underage girls, to distract from the fact that the DOJ is covering up murders of US citizens by their own government.

Would be super ironic if the actions of the regime caused the loop to close between left and right with regard to the importance of a citizens right to bear arms to protect themselves from tyranny

The double pardon really gives away the game. Adriana Camberos started her second round of fraud just weeks after her first pardon. She was charged, convicted, imprisoned…and pardoned again. Trump supporters are permitted unlimited crimes, while the rest of us can get beaten by the secret police.
President Trump quietly issued clemency grants this week, including to a California woman he had pardoned once before and a man whose daughter had donated millions to a Trump super PAC.
Trump Sets Fraudster Free From Prison for a Second Time
The president issued a raft of clemency grants this week, including pardoning a woman he had given relief to once before and a man whose daughter had donated millions to a Trump super PAC.

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

Democrats need to understand that they can just say “It’s insane to threaten Greenland” and “I don’t think ICE should murder Americans in the street” and you don’t need to pretend to link it to the affordability crisis.

Say bad things are bad.

I know they’re trying to turn this shooting into Dealey Plaza with their desperate camera angles and excuses for the murderous ICE officer but how do they explain the subsequent refusal to allow a doctor to reach the car? And lying that they already had medics there? All on tape.

On the other hand, if unarmed Americans are on the streets of say, Minneapolis, it's fine to shoot them in the head. In that circumstance, Trump will immediately call them deserving trash and credit his ICE gangmembers with a clean, fresh kill.

Saw a pair of films that were very different, and yet contained interesting similarities. Heartily recommend both. The films are Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Bugonia”, and Jafar Panahi’s “It Was Just An Accident” #Film

Kidnapping a sovereign nation’s leader is a terrible precedent to set. I mean how would we feel if someone came into our country, and … oh hang on now…

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has stated that the 1918 flu pandemic was caused by a lab virus from vaccine research, a defective influenza vaccine. Let’s analyze what a lie this is. First, in 1918, 107 years ago, virology was in its infancy

I'm no economist but I've wondered for a long time what rich people were thinking would happen if they made the largest part of the population too poor to buy their products. What's something worth if nobody can afford it?

Incredible words.

Amazing film-inspired art
"The Ritual"

Here's my #Sinners piece made w/pencil, ink, & gouache! Including A/P prints - w/a glow-in-the-dark ed.!

No real room to say what it means to me, but as a biracial woman whose father was a Black identical twin from NOLA, & a kid during the film's time period, it's a top 5 film for me.
