Anyone who DOES have power to do something to stop this genocide is just gumming up the works til everyone in Gaza is dead and this “debate” is moot. And THEN it’ll be the usual “thoughts and prayers” and “if only someone could have done something…” hand wringing.
Useless, vile fuckers.

I cannot get over how no one in mainstream politics even disputes factual claims like this. Everyone admits that Israel is starving children and murdering desperate civilians. The only ‘debate’ is about what to call it and whether the motives of people protesting it are pure enough.

So convicted felon pedos get a fucking speed dial to the SC now? Then again, we’ve got one in the Oval Office, so nothing should be surprising anymore. 😬
Pretty solid confirmation we’ve got SC justices on the “list,” though. Thomas (remember Anita Hill?) and frat boy Kavanaugh, at the least.

Oh… well this should be interesting. Ghislaine Maxwell, longtime accomplice of Jeffrey Epstein, just asked the Supreme Court to overturn her sex trafficking conviction, while her attorney is also reaching out to Trump.

Not only that, but their fiendish plan depended on making sure that Epstein be arrested in Trump's first term and then kill himself in a federal prison (again, while Trump was in charge) so he couldn't refute the Democratic forgeries ...
So if I understand the Trump strategy correctly, they want their base to buy that Obama, Comey, and (somehow) Hillary Clinton deviously placed his name into the casefiles about his best friend Jeffrey Epstein, but then never breathed a word about it through 3 elections? Is that right?
