Star Trek TNG scene with a lady and data talking

If we’re not all wearing onesies we haven’t reached the future yet

Textbook. If you are surprised, it is because this shit usually, at least not in the last 150 years, does not happen in the US. And the past is mild in comparison

Ghislaine Maxwell got into jail for engaging in pedophilia and sex trafficking.

Ghislaine Maxwell hopes to get out of jail by engaging in extortion.

I'm beginning to get the impression that Ghislaine Maxwell enjoys criming.

Religious freedom group says US military members were 'pressured' by commanders to see 'Melania' An active-duty enlisted member of the US military said their unit was "pressured" into seeing Amazon's "Melania" documentary about the first lady.

Could you even imagine if President Obama made the troops sit through a a doc about Michelle??

Jeffrey Epstein’s brother Mark sent a tip to the FBI accusing Trump of authorizing his murder:

“I have reason to believe he was killed because he was about to name names. I believe Present Trump authorized is murder.“

But Bezos had $75 million to spend on Melania’s vanity project.

In no functioning country is this allowed.

So the “elected” President with his elected majority House and Senate says they have to takeover elections because Dems cheat. Make that argument make sense.

Jeffrey Epstein emailing Peter Thiel: Finding things on their way to collapse was much easier than finding the next bargain. ... Return to tribalism. Counter to globalization. Amazing new alliances.

Definitely seems like they destroyed the country on purpose.

I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home.

But did you look at the judge's order?

It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept."

So let me get this straight...

Trump gets into office, and to ensure loyalty to him he brings in everyone who's in the Epstein files to work for him in the government?

Georgia Fort, an independent journalist and vice president of the Minnesota NABJ chapter, was also arrested by federal agents this morning

I was sent this video of agents at her door:

This is the BEST explanation I have seen so far.

During the Soviet era, at times of govt instability, the state broadcaster would typically preempt scheduled broadcasts by airing performances of Swan Lake

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Wake up. Make breakfast. Do email. Watch a murder. Go to a party for a 5 year old. Laugh with my daughter. See a different angle of that murder. Hear govt officials slander the victim. Play Barbies with my kid. Feed her dinner. Tear up at that victim reading last honors to a vet. Put kid to bed. USA

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

BREAKING: Federal agent shoots man in south Minneapolis A Bring Me The News reporter was near the scene, and recorded multiple gunshots.

“Federal agents briefly detained our reporter at the scene, who says he was tackled to the ground and had a gun put in his face.”

Not one more cent to this government until ICE is defunded. No excuses.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!

ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

McGovern: Well, he said a lot of crazy shit today. I think it’s time to take the keys away from grandpa. He doesn’t seem like he’s all there.

The one and only time NATO has invoked Article 5 and waged collective defense was when they came to *our* aid after 9/11.

That's a fact, no matter how dumb our current president is. Just saying.

Republicans in Congress have been asleep for a long, long time. The only solution is to vote them ALL out in November.

Golden valley PD confirmed there are federal vehicles in the church parking lot. Unclear what they are doing or what their goal is. Neighboring school activated their Stay Indoors policy to keep students inside.

ICE is terrorizing schoolchildren in the Twin Cities again today

I fear for this country. Not because the president is a madman, but because the people who could stop him aren’t.

Some perspective: The S&P opened down -1.3% on Trump's Greenland saber-rattling. That's $750 billion of wealth destroyed -- roughly equal to estimates of the value of Greenland.

And so ~in dollar terms~ his shenanigans have already cost the US one Greenland, and we've got nothing to show for it.
