it will really be something if the Epstein Files unseat a British Prime Minster who isn't in them, and not the American President who was Epstein's best friend.

I would like to see the US government claw back all the money extorted through corruption and to impose punitive fines so all that collaborated with Trump in this endeavor get totally stripped of their wealth. When the Democrats win, I hope they go Medieval on them.

Yup, it is actually true. Good work on defending your city/country against cruelty, corruption, and deadly force.

The most cowardly, grovelling yes-men in America are the most powerful. If these were the times they wished they lived in, they and their families would be stripped of rank, land and fortune as soon as the tides turn. And some would lose their heads.

I don't like to talk about stories before they are fully reported, but I am writing on ICE in a Minnesota town that isn't Minneapolis. However bad you think it is, it is worse. It is a campaign of pure terror whose only strategic goal is more terror. There is no strategy other than to break people.

It's only taken Trump one year to make the USA this much poorer, lawless, more dangerous, less secure, less reliable. Imagine what the country will look like in three more years. I'm so glad I don't live there and nonetheless resent having to live through the effects of his mad ravings.

Thanks I did think about that and thought it a sign of the times that we couldn't be sure it was a parody.

Donal Trump is a very bad president. The worst president there has ever been. Nowhere in the world has there been a worse president. He'll be remembered only for trying to destroy AMERICA. Anyone who votes for Trump or his cronies will be forced to watch MELANIA on a loop until they repent.

We are dealing with a Western Christian supremacist movement willing to see millions die in the name of racial purity. This is William Wolfe. A year ago he was invited with fourteen other faith leaders to the WH. Today he is praising ICE for killing peaceful observers. This is Christian fascism.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month.
It’s about oil and regime change.
And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

Venezuela now, because he wants the oil.
He wants the oil under Greenland too. And under Canada. He's openly called for them to be part of the USA.
How long before he decides to bomb a couple of NATO members to get his own way?
The USA is a rogue nation.
