And now America has a (nominally) theocratic serial child rapist trying to impose a theocracy on his own country by deposing one in Iran.
It’s tough to keep up nowadays, but politics - which is meant to be boring - is never dull when you elect criminal perverts AND YOU KNEW THAT IN ADVANCE!

Ofelia Torres, teen who fought to have her father released from ICE custody, dies from rare cancer Ofelia Torres, 16, died on Friday from Stage 4 alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare and aggressive form of cancer, her father's lawyer confirmed.

This brave child fought cancer & ICE.
Her father should have never been in custody in the first case. Trump & Noem stole precious moments from them.
If you do not see how wrong this is, you have no soul.

Wealth taxes don’t work.
Start with closing loopholes and working in concert with all other states and friendly nations like Australia to require taxation from REVENUES and end billionaires borrowing from their stocks to raise cash - THAT MUST BE TAXED.

Um, Fort Campbell middle school would like a word. We have many schools on bases, and Bolton knows it. More ghoulish nonsense from war Hawks to justify the murder of little girls.

No matter what happens over the next 12-36 months -
Let’s keep in the back of our minds that the more monstrous the orange serial child rapist and his zombie billionaire enablers become, the more society prepares to take on the role of monster slayers.
Let’s start by releasing those Epstein files

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective.

He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

He staged Butler -
Gleiwitz is his only option.
The rest of 2026 will be a string of bs propaganda and faux fear to impose martial law, avoid and evade Epstein facts and end 250 years of America.

Been repeating this over and over…

YES. He ABSOLUTELY wants a terrorist attack on US soil.

It’s the only way he can claim the extraordinary powers he needs to cement his dictatorship and stay in office.

He might even stage one himself.

Tim Snyder: β€˜A democracy means the people rule’ Protests do more than fill the streets - they help to shape how institutions behave. The recent demonstrations against Trump’s policies inform judges, pressure lawmakers, and send signals throughout the political system. According to historian Tim Snyder, the scale of these protests, and the moral clarity behind them, can influence how institutions act. β€œA democracy means the people rule”, says Snyder.

Noem’s firing is proof that protests don’t just fill the streets, they can shape how institutions behave. And judges, lawmakers, and even Trump’s allies seem to be getting the message. Historian @timothysnyder.bsky.social adds, β€œa democracy means the people rule.” #Velshi

Transcript: Trump Hit by Damning Iran Leaks as Polls Turn Brutal Fast As media scrutiny of Trump’s attack on Iran intensifies, the author of a piece on White House lawbreaking explains why his violent β€œmad king” public image is already turning people against the war.

"I think what we’re seeing is 11-year-olds with the most powerful military in the entire world, which is a pretty scary thing to see in action. And also, doesn’t it really look, from the New York Times reporting at least, like Netanyahu just bulldozed Trump into this?" trib.al/mFVyK5H

This is Ruzzian operative Krasnov in open action.
He is Putin’s bitch.
Moscow has the same video that mossad has.
Trump rapes many many little blonde American kids and this is how he betrays the nation to protect himself.

US lifts some restrictions on Russian oil, considers more actions to β€˜unsanction’ it as prices spike The U.S. is lifting some restrictions on Russian oil and considering more actions to β€œunsanction” it as the conflict in Iran raises prices globally, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Friday. Be…

Russia is sharing intel on US troops with Iran as a result Trump removes sanctions on Russian oil.
How much Trump sharing with Putin?
It’s time for Congress to do its job and use their power to stop a wannabe dictator from ruining the US.

As written and spoken language goes, this is a bad eighth grade skit.
America will not live this presidency down for centuries.
It’s all on video and the net - it will play on a loop 24/7 forever.
