Important to notice: killing random people at sea has a purpose: desensitize the electorate to the dictator killing people. Which can then turn into normalizing threats to kill political opponents, which then leads to actual political executions.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Whole thread worth reading, and Wyden is exactly right. We do not know the truth about Epstein until we see the whole money trail, including how it was handled inside JP Morgan.
So it's not just Trump and Bondi running interference for pedophiles. Bessent is a key part of the Epstein coverup. I plan to seek Senate approval of my bill to force the Treasury Department to release its Epstein file in the coming weeks because we need to keep on following the money.

Multiple cultures around the world would disagree with you. It’s seen as a rite of passage for many, as well as resistance to European colonialism. Tough to look at for some, sure, but similar to other body mods, has roots that go back for centuries.

Trump wants the Democrats reminding them of that to be arrested, and reposting calls for them to be executed.
This is fascism — and pretending it’s not only empowers him to do worse.

Interviews and records show the White House intervened on behalf of accused sex trafficker Andrew Tate during a federal investigation.
The incident is the latest in a string of matters where the Trump administration has inserted itself to help friends and target foes.
