The victims of this horrendous sex crime spree must have closure. The only way they will get any peace is for the pedophiles to be exposed and suffer the consequences of their heinous crimes. I don’t care who there are! Expose all of them. NOW.

Mr. Antiwar President has us inches away from a Civil War at home and a nuclear war abroad in defense of an ally that is starting random hot regional wars to detract from its ongoing genocide. I’m sure all of this will just naturally cool off.

Everyone must understand where this is headed.
Martial law. Black-bagging. Firing on protesters. Curtailing freedom of assembly. Trump ignoring Congress and judges.
Any politician who doesn't understand that these fascists won't stop, and their destination is predetermined, shouldn't be in office.

Yep everything’s terrible. Just came here to say that as a US snowbird in Mazatlan, which is a haven for Minnesota and Canadian retirees, it’s very weird to feel pity from Mexicans and Canadians.
