Independent, no party individual here.

Did you know that the majority of American voters are now independents?

There is a good reason for that. We are sick and tired of the broken system, all the lies, and the corruption.

Congress should represent us, not corporations.

JD Vance has changed his name, his look, his religion, his positions many issues and people, but he won’t ever be able to change the fact that he’s a smug, insufferable, unlikable ass.

Imagine having no prospects for work, or for buying a home, or raising a family... and on top of it, the leaders who could help you with that are apparently deeply tied to a cabal of child rapists. That's what the youngest generations are looking at right now.

At this point everyone in the media with access to officials not directly asking representatives of this govt why they protect pedophiles more stringently than any other country in the world should simply be considered a collaborator

Nothing will happen in the U.S. 🇺🇸 on Epstein because the system protecting elites is still intact. Powerful friends, immunity deals, and silence shield predators while justice stays a fantasy. #EpsteinFiles #Accountability

Names have been named, now what? The victims have banded together, now what? The corruption and impunity is out in the open, now what? The cover up has been revealed, now what? You have plenty of information that you are being ruled by death eaters and criminals, now what?

“Why doesn’t X PERSON just expose the transnational criminal network on their own?”

Imagine you try to expose the Sinaloa cartel, you gather evidence, to release all by yourself; now imagine the reaction from the cartel if they find out you are doing this. The same goes with other crime networks.

Politics is about choices.

Labour chooses to lift children out of poverty.

Reform would plunge them into it.

At the dealership I overheard a man say "when I win the lottery", in the context of a needed repair, not a new car.

It's interesting that getting rich to some is about buying luxury items but to many the thought of being wealthy means security and never going without necessities. Both do motivate.

At least 17 Democrat lawmakers plan to boycott Chump’s “State of the (dis)Union” address. Every day that number grows. Plans are to hold an event on the National Mall to counter-program the lies, misinformation, and propaganda that’ll contaminate and fester within the Capitol building.
