It is nice to see at least one conservative publication acknowledging the most blatant corruption happening in the history of the US by far, but this will never be mentioned on Fox or Newsmax. On those networks, none of this is happening.

United America sounds familiar.
At the end of the 23rd century America attempted to bring peace to the world by asking all countries to sign a peace treaty. Those that refused were invaded. This led to the War Against War. #RedDwarf

Please, please, media outlets, remember the C word: context. You can’t discuss Trump’s apes post - or his ‘blame a staffer’ excuse - if you’re not also factoring in and reminding your viewers/readers about his birtherism, his ‘send her back’ remarks, him calling Somalis ‘low IQ’.

Trump: "These people were brought to our country to vote, & they vote illegally. The Republicans should say, we should take over the voting in at least 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting. We have states that I won that show I didn't win. You're gonna see something in Georgia"

Foreign countries are bribing our president to sell out the American people.
Trump family businesses made $187 MILLION from this deal, and just months later he gave the UAE some of our most top-secret AI tech.
They are selling our national security to the highest bidder.

To be clear: After Alex kicked the car knocking off the taillight, the agents legally could have arrested him. But that is not what you see. The agents had no interest in arresting Alex—they just wanted to beat him up. In fact after two officers attacked Alex and broke his rib they simply let him go
Trump today called Alex Pretti an "agitator" bc video 2 weeks before shooting shows altercation between Alex and ICE. Trump today praised the ICE thugs in the incident below writing: "The ICE Officer was calm and cool, not an easy thing to be under those circumstances!" To Trump this is OK:
