Around the world, politicians and businessmen are resigning from their positions because of the Epstein Files.
Except in the United States.
Here: Zero shame, zero consequences.
We need resignations, investigations, impeachments, and punishments now. Should have been years ago.

The similarities to ICE (their recruitment and brutality towards normal people) are shocking." "Spoiler alert, they were f**king DESPISED by the Irish, and have gone down in history as unqualified thugs, given a license to dispense their cruelty."
My (Irish) wife spotted this comparison too.
The Black & Tans were largely recruited from demobilised WW1 soldiers who had drifted into unemployment and crime. They were thugs, and were hated. The name comes from their wearing of ill-assorted mixtures of army and civilian clothes - ring any bells?
Every last one of them from the top down!

Russiaβs full-scale invasion began 4 years ago. It began in winter, and so this winter is the 5th. And, for civilians, the worst. Russia launches missiles and drones at energy infrastructure to force Ukrainians to endure the freezing cold. Here's how you can help

Sitting in the same chair where she reads her Bible every morning, Ms. Britt explained how important it was to have these kinds of direct conversations with top administration leaders. To demand answers for the people of Alabama. "I said I was going to run for the Senate to be a voice for the voiceless," she said. "And I mean it." Ms. Britt had tears in her eyes. "I'm sorry," she said. "I just keep thinking about that child."
