Husband keeps getting parking fines in post. Gets really angry, swears he doesn't remember parking/always pays etc. Out other day & asked me like he normally does to pay to park on my app, realised I had the reg letters wrong. Oops, sorry. Will never tell him though.

Everyone sat around talking about how these people were incredibly stupid and then they managed to successfully implement large swathes of the plan that they all told us they were going to execute and you really have to wonder who is the stupid in this equation

Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell could not have sold children for sex without rich perverts buying children for sex. I feel like more people should mention that.

What they don’t mention is that they drugged the girls have to death so that they could rape them. I was one of those victims. Embarrassed to say. I have thought about suicide many many times, but I want to live to see the day that Donald Trump is held accountable.

Trump’s name was in the original release. Now, it’s blacked out.

The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

🚨 BREAKING: I obtained the letter the DOJ sent to Congress about today's Epstein files release. NOW IT ALL MAKES SENSE! The law requires 5 exceptions. They're using 8. Here's what they're hiding and why it matters.

Interesting, because I am assured by people on both side sides of the aisle that homeless people are not a part of our society, but a social nuisance to be harassed and a great societal danger to be expunged.

I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along
There is no national security logic that would impel the US to want to do regime change in Venezuela. It's simply not that important. I'm not even sure wag the dog is the right metaphor for what's happening here. Seems like an insane misallocation of US national security assets and attention.
Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."

This is an important moment, and we need to explain to the public why it's important.
An agency with the power to decide who gets to broadcast is supposed to be independent from the president so it won't abuse that power. If it's not, then we are letting the president seize the power to censor.
