Well he did publicly state in July 2020 that he "just wished Ghislaine Maxwell well" after her arrest for sex trafficking. He later defended the comment and repeated it. I guess at this point we just have to see if he pardons her or commutes her sentence. It's never been about the victims for him.

Pete Hegseth denies he gave orders to โ€˜kill everybodyโ€™ on alleged โ€˜narco-boatโ€™ Defense secretary called reports about his role in strike as โ€˜fake newsโ€™ intended to discredit US military

Someone ordered a 2nd strike to kill unarmed, civilian, survivors. "Kill Everyone" is an illegal order by all Laws. Petey says fake news but that means the new SOCOM Commander gave the unlawful order to murder them. Who is lying? Grab your popcorn!

Free at point of service.

But I once ran the numbers and realized that on average over 40 years, I had paid (through my taxes) approximately $600/year for my health care.

It's been a bargain, in every sense of the word.

I wonder why they're the same ones complaining so loud about unemployment and inflation?

This Is Good, But ICE Will Ignore Itโ€ฆ.

HUGE VICTORY: A judge just ruled EVERYONE picked up by ICE is entitled to a bond hearing in front of a judge โ€“ no more disappearing people into indefinite detention, for no reason. ๐Ÿ‘ GOOD.

Because look how well not prosecuting trump turned out for the country. Because not prosecuting and imprisoning Netanyahu has led to him levelling Palestine, killing thousands upon thousands of Palestinian people. No one can be above the law. Hot him, not trump. Not Putin.

Klobuchar: "What the president has done is taken a horrific crime that occurred in DC and went 2,400 miles away to Somali & somehow indicted an entire group of people, 80k of them in my state, as well as all naturalized citizens. This is what he does. He tries to make people hate each other."
