Open bribery by a foreign leader. The exact scenario that the Founders feared.
"no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State"

Surely he's learned his lesson, right?🙄
Jesse Butler raped & strangled two girls…
One ended up in hospital.
He managed a plea deal as a “youthful offender”. He was 17.
He won’t serve time.
How come Jesse avoids jail time because he’s a “kid”… yet the Epstein survivors are being reframed as women?

To be very clear, Virginia Giuffre was made to say she mistakenly identified Alan Dershowitz as one of the people who sexually abused her. Here is the proof from this week's Epstein files dropped by the House Oversight Committee.

Creating the US SA was always and obviously the idea.
"what began as a way to increase the pace of deportations has come to look like a national police force, answerable to the president, that is at least as focused on bullying the residents of Democrat-run cities as it is on deporting undocumented migrants" www.economist.com/interactive/...
See how Donald Trump is creating his own police force
Immigration agents are operating in cities with few legal constraints

One of the big ones is the SHIFT in govt employment from "people who cure cancer" and "people who make sure your Social Security comes on time" and "people who care for veterans" to "people who kidnap your neighbors."

The dismissals rattled the housing industry and drew condemnation from Democrats. It also gave Pulte’s critics evidence to support claims that he has leveraged the nonpublic information available to him to further his own political aims, and gain the favor and attention of Donald Trump.

Not now, mutated flu strain
NEW by me -- This mutated flu strain is triggering fears of a massive outbreak
--The new flu strain, a version of H3N2, emerged over the summer, raising fears that the current flu vaccine might struggle to fight it.

The Speaker of the House shut the chamber down for two months to block the release of the Epstein Files and the president is huddled in the Situation Room of the White House to formulate a plan to keep them from being released, and I don't know why you crazy libs think there's some kind of cover up.

The problem isn't that they caved for a promised vote; the problem is that the vote will be a meaningless gesture impressing no one but Senate Democrats.
It will fail. ACA beneficiaries will suffer considerably as a result and there will be no consequences of any kind for Republicans.

Whoa -- Sen. Durbin went to up Leader Thune during the vote last night to tell him that on the shutdown vote and ACA promise that "8 of us are sticking our neck out that you're going to keep your word. I hope you will. He said 'I assure you I will,'" Durbin says just now

Beware of incorrect memes attacking some Senators who voted NO, including Gary Peters (MI) & Brian Schatz (HI). They often exclude Tim Kaine (VA) who did vote YES.
These are the 8 people who voted YES. No Vote Schumer is to blame, too, for allowing it. Let's spank or thank the correct Senators!
