This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.

You’ll notice that the same media who couldn’t stop attacking Biden’s age or Hillary’s emails to her daughter or President Obama’s tan suit are now okay with a convicted criminal bulldozing the White House for his ballroom and inviting actual murderers to the Oval Office.

Most of us have no idea how bad it is inside ICE detention centers because they have kept it hidden. Then a truth teller shows up and says it plain.
The conditions are filthy. The treatment is inhumane. The abuse is Systematic and routine.

He says it in almost every interview where the topic of migration comes up.
How is this not 25th Amendment territory? How is he not an embarrassment to this entire country?

When we look at this massacre and many more perpetrated by the RSF, let's be clear who funds, equips & sustains them. It's the UAE. Yes, the same UAE that might own your football club, fly you on your holidays, invests in our national infrastructure. If boycotts work, we should be boycotting now.
“Individuals on the ground sent a message that reached us Monday morning that 1,200 were dead,” Nathaniel Raymond, the lab’s executive director, said. “By that evening, they said 10,000. By Tuesday, we couldn’t reach them anymore. We assume our ground contacts are dead.”

Having this guy meet in Japan with the families of those abducted by North Korean dictators is a little ironic, considering he allocated $170,000,000,000 in his budget for ICE to abduct millions of fathers, mothers, husbands, wives, sons and daughters off American streets by unidentified masked men

Remember how the Nazis referred to their regime as the "Tausendjähriges Reich" (Thousand-Year Empire), even though in the end it barely lasted 12 years?
I can only assume that the CEOs of huge companies and leaders of foreign governments who continue to bribe Trump while getting tremendous benefits and breaks from the govt think that Republicans will stay in power forever or Democrats will forgive and forget.
