Billions of dollars are not being spent in the USA by vacationing Canadians or Mexicans. The culprit is a government by 47 that has been intolerant to anybody coming here up to arresting foreigners for simply visiting here. Follow and be informed.

Victims’ testimony: how Ghislaine Maxwell lured girls into Epstein’s orbit In a Manhattan courtroom, four of Maxwell’s accusers painted a powerful story of sexual abuse

If you want to know what went on on PDF island, listen to the victims. Maxwell is a convicted human trafficker. Trump is considering pardoning her. She trafficked children. FFS Republicans en masse voted to not release the files, and I think we all know why.

Spineless? No,they are him. A house divided … etc. Why would they oppose themselves, especially as they’re winning the ideological battle? They’re unprincipled, not spineless. Do they fear Trump? Does it matter? In any way that counts in terms of ideology Republicans 🟰Trump, and Trump 🟰 Republicans

Since it’s a gift to him, Trumpty Dumpty just takes off with it. Right? I wonder if he’ll leave it Ivan-ka or Byron (or whatever his name is β€” hey, I’m sure Trump forgets his name too.)

Ideologically, Trump and the GOP are functionally the same entity. The Venn diagram is a circle. Trump is the face of the beast for now. Do you think the GOP will cease being the enemy of bodily autonomy, the poor, the middle class, science, diversity, equity, or inclusion when Trump is gone?

Trump is nothing without the GOP. They back him at every turn because he’s doing what they want him to do. It’s symbiotic. Trump is the GOP, and the GOP is Trump.

It works perfectly. It’s doing exactly what it’s intended to do. It’s a class war people, and we’re losing.

Like all fascists, he wants to lie unchecked. This is what not allowing people to use the terms/words β€œ climate change,” β€œgay,” β€œdiversity,” etc. is about, lying. Also, seems these idiots may actually believe not saying words or facts makes what the words or facts denote disappear. 🫠

Say you have a benefactor who gives you what you need or want. You go their house for the first time and there’s kiddie porn everywhere and they’re in some of it. Do you turn them in and lose your benefactor, or do you ignore it keep your πŸ€‘and become an accomplice? Hint, this should be simple.

Cruelty is the point. Power is an end in itself. What better way to display power and control than to cause misery; to destroy, and to take satisfaction in knowing the miserable know that you are the cause of their misery?

They’re playing in our faces. This is who they are. This is fundamental.

At long last, seeing a pattern ?

On another note …
I wonder when she’s going to go full Cruella de Vil with her hair? It would look fabulous with the large-mouth bass Mar-a-Lago go aesthetic. Halloween or the French Revolution redux are just around the corner! Des tΓͺtes vont rouler, baby!

At this point anything uttered by Maxwell would be as suspect as anything spewed by Trump. Do y’all really think they’d let her speak the truth? Maybe there’s a brave person who will leak the files. I wouldn’t hold my breath, but hope springs …
