Trump: "Russia wants to see Ukraine succeed. It sounds a little strange but President Putin was very generous in his feeling toward Ukraine succeeding, including supplying energy, electricity and other things at very low prices."

And detainees are held for much long periods of time than needed so that these companies can charge more and make billions extra. It’s state sanctioned human trafficking.

Screenshot of a Brennan Center for Justice post reporting that private prison company GEO Group allegedly forced immigration detainees to work without pay. The image shows a car parked outside a fenced detention facility with barbed wire.

MAGA podcaster Abby Libby: “I voted for an admin that would stop human trafficking at our borders. I voted to get rapists and pedophiles off the streets. Trump's action in freeing the Tate brothers was a stunning betrayal of his mandate.”

Hilarious that they think this about their pedo-in-cheif.

A long way to say, “He lied to the voters.”

Sunday Taquitos #8: Never Wrong

Black and white comic of two men on a bench talking to each other.

Text underneath the image reads “I don't care what the Epstein Files say... I'd rather have a pedophile rapist grifting the country than admit I was ever wrong."

This guy, the drug dealer, and many, many, many more, yet Conservatives and media outlets freaked the f out about the Hunter pardon.

You can't spell Conservative without "biggest hypocrites to walk the Earth".

Don Moynihan @donmoyn.bsky.social · 1d

New reporting says Don Jr. directly facilitated the pardon of a crypto whale who had promoted the Trump's family crypto. Jr. brought the pardon lawyer to the White House, and introduced him directly to his Dad. Pardon occurred right after. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/pardon-the...

Filming them committing terrorism is now itself an act of terrorism?

Screenshot of a news article with the headline, “Justice Department Says Filming Immigration Raids Is ‘Domestic Terrorism.’” The byline reads Autumn Billings with a date and time. Below the headline is a black-and-white photo of a heavily armed federal agent pointing toward the camera, with other officers blurred in the background.

Republicans Against Trumpism

@rpsagainsttrump.bsky.social

Trump says the DOJ is being “forced” to work on the Epstein files and demands they say “NO MORE” and “Release all of their names” of Democrats in the Epstein files to “embarrass them.”

This is not the language of an innocent man.
