Imagine winning an Olympic gold medal in men's hockey and then *immediately* destroying every bit of that coolness by partying with a graspy little dork like Kash Patel.

People born in the 2000s will never understand a nation once so innocent that an ice skater kneecapping another ice skater sent us into an existential crisis.

They're trying to make observing/filming ICE illegal.

Then we must show up in greater numbers.

BE UNGOVERNABLE.

Kinda weird that the party that controls the House, the Senate, and the White House claims there's rampant voter fraud.

If a member of your family in the US military gets killed in Iran soon, you can console yourself by knowing that they died to distract from their Commander-in-Chief's pedophilia.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor arrested: King Charles says β€˜law must take its course’ as ex-prince taken into custody – live The police raided Andrew’s Norfolk home on Thursday

American colonists 250 years ago were very worked up about judicial independence and the rule of law. Now it seems it's only the British who still care

LEFT: Someone who appears in the Epstein files over a million times. Epstein called him his "best friend."

RIGHT: Someone never mentioned in the Epstein filesβ€”even once. And she never met him.

So guess which one is being hauled before our corrupt, cover-upping Congress to testify about Epstein.

Every ICE officer who has broken the law should be arrested, tried, and imprisoned for their crimes.

The Real Reason Why Trump Backed Off Greenland It matters that we don't get this wrong

"The next time Trump inevitably comes up with new unacceptable demands, Europe...will end up appealing to Trump’s conscience and trying to rationally explain why it’s not a good idea. And it will not work, just as it never worked before."

It’s beginning to look like the military is ok with what Trump is doing. They cheer for him like they’re at a political rally and they are! Military is supposed to be nonpartisan because they are supposed to protect ALL Americans not just the maga ones!! Trump is destroying our democratic system.

The best and most humane way to decrease the undocumented immigrant population in this country is to create a situation in their home countries that provides economic stability and physical security so that they want to return to the soil of their generational homes.

Pamela Jo Bondi has seen photos and videos of pedophilia so disturbing that she knew she could never make them public if she wanted to protect the perpetrators. And that was the choice she coldly made.
