Banner like. "FACT CHECKED" then a posting by 45: "He who saves his Country does not violate any law." Followed by a posting by Brian Krassenstein that reads: 
"WOW! 

-- Hitler--"The authority of the Fuhrer is not limited by laws or statutes." 

--Mussolini--"Everything within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state." 

--Francisco Franco-- "I am responsible only to God and to history."

CDC Posts, Then Deletes, Data on Bird Flu Transmission Between Cats and People The data, which appeared fleetingly online on Wednesday, confirmed transmission in two households. Scientists called on the agency to release the full report.

Cats that became infected with bird flu might have spread the virus to humans in the same household and vice versa, according to data that briefly appeared online in a report from the CDC but then abruptly vanished.

It would be nice to see mainstream media acknowledge that every alarmist in their ranks about Trump and his henchmen has been correct, and every single "Let's all calm down" guy--a posture of blasΓ© detachment that is consistently over-rewarded in legacy media--has called it wrong from day one.

DOJ fires members of special counsel Jack Smith's team who prosecuted Trump They couldn't be trusted to implement the president's agenda,Β officials said.

These are not the actions of an innocent man looking to uphold the rule of law and defend the Constitution.

They are the actions of a guilty, vengeful tyrant looking to silence his enemies and remove every check on his power.

Coward.

TikTok was never going anywhere. The TikTok creator gave millions to Trump and they orchestrated this whole PR stunt just so Trump will be seen as a 'hero' to young people.
It was literally the Kidz Bop version of the Reichstag Fire
