This is what Dirty Donald was plotting with pedophile protectors Pam Bondi, Kash Patel and Dan Bongino as a way to suppress the release of the Epstein files. Trump is the central figure in the most sinister pedophile scandal in American history. Watergate pales in comparison.

The Trump admin canceled a grant to a NH small business developing of low-cost energy technology to enhance grid stability and lower costs.

Terminating this grant is unlawful and harms our communities. I’m urging them to reinstate this award.

I think we need to start visualizing the Trump Presidency ending, and socialize it. For it is the right thing to do for the country and the American people.
At this point we have to assume that if the Epstein files are released they will
- end the Trump Presidency
- implicate many other prominent Republicans
- destroy the careers of AG Bondi and his other defenders
This is beginning to feel like the greatest scandal in American history.
Trump has done enormous harm to the country.
He is a deeply corrupt and venal man.
He is wildly unpopular, his agenda more so. He's lost the consent of the governed.
He is old, infirm & clearly no longer mentally competent to run a nation.

It is time now to start talking about him moving on👇

She was 17 when she worked as a Spa assistant at Mar-A-Lago. It was her testimony that put away Epstein. This April, she was found dead at age 41. Pill Overdose? Her body was quickly cremated. No coroner report yet. Her lawyer and family can't believe it was suicide. And her story back in the news.
