Trump is apparently promoting a new line of self branded watches. If it’s a Trump watch how can it be trusted to tell the right time? Anyway, in the run-up to the midterms these watches should be telling the same time, “Too late.”

ICE ended up returning the man, Saly, after realizing he’s a fucking US citizen with no criminal record, per his sister-in-law. These fucking animals.

Just like the Epstein Files, the fact we have to petition for something the government should have initiated and expedited anyway shows that they are guilty as hell, previous and current administrations. Russia, Israel, Saudi, all complicit in influencing our politics, cant have that in the open.

Some political stories may be concerning. However, this is possibly the scariest picture of the week.

Did no one tell Trump that earthly wealth not leave the earth with him? And that offering bribes to St Peter is pointless and yet another sin?

The Trump Regime has announced sanctions against judges at the International Criminal Court, for seeking to prosecute US and Israeli citizens. In a moment of stunning lack of self awareness a Marco Rubio accused the ICC of being politicised and abusing its power. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I cannot see a way to read this other than victimisation. If Maurene Comey had been sacked for proper reasons the current DOJ would have been crying it from the roof tops and though all available social media.

We gather in solemn memory of the United States. It is with deep regret we mourn its passing at the distressingly tender age of 250 years. It is tragically reported that the assets have fallen into the hands of the unworthy and inhumane. May God have mercy upon that land.

I'm very concerned. I don't think that it is good for anyone to expose that much bare scalp during the hot summer months. However, I am willing to help.

Additionally, warrants should only permit arrests by uniformed officers in liveried vehicles. Should a plain clothes arrest be wanted permission must be obtained from the judge beforehand, like some jurisdictions require specific permission for hard knock search warrants.

The witness was then told she mustn’t follow the officers. How many rights violations do they want to perpetrate today? There needs to be proper reform, the authorities are in breach of trust. Immigration arrests need to require full judicial warrant in all cases.

The Guardian reports a second case where a colleague who witnessed an arrest by plain clothes unidentified officers was told asking questions amounted to assaulting an officer and that they would not give a reason for the arrest or say where the suspect was being taken.

This is monstrous. What were the grounds for detention? How on earth do they justify shackles and removal of belt and shoelaces? Where is the proportionality? Not only do they not inform families and counsel on arrest they refuse to answer family and legal questions about detainee’s whereabouts.

CNN are reporting a security crackdown in Tehran. ‘A special unit in the Tehran’s prosecutor’s office was set up to monitor news outlets and people with a significant social media following. The crackdown intensified on Tuesday after some activists were arrested and others were given warnings.’

Has anyone else noticed CNN/Reuters is reporting Trump has recently received income of $600M and has assets of $1.6B. Reuters believe that this is a low estimate compiled using lower bounds of stated ranges. Some of this remarkable wealth comes from the Crypto industry.

According to Karoline Leavitt the Trump Administration has zero tolerance for lawlessness and violence against police and Federal law enforcement. When can we therefore look forward to Trump’s resignation owing to his 34 felony convictions and the actual deadly riots of 6 Jan 2021?

The Great Writ of Habeas Corpus is a truly ancient tradition and safeguard for the people. Habeas Corpus was created by Henry II in 1166 at the Assize of Clarendon, which also laid the groundwork for trial by jury.
