drip by drip, but the #EpsteinFiles have all but vanished. all it took was grifting the Treasury, detaining (and killing) lawful Americans, all but ceding our status as a top tier economy, destroying the environment, gutting our military, making food and medicine suspect… oh, and starting a war… 🤷🏻

Why was Daddy bear's porridge too hot, Mummy's too cold, and Baby's just right? Dad got served the hot dinner while Mum got the baby fed, meaning her dinner's cold by the time she gets around to feeding herself. I'll never think about the fairytale the same way again.

If you are the DOJ, it is unprecedented to lose 17 straight voting cases in 17 different courts without winning a single one. It's even more remarkable when 8 of them were decided by judges appointed by Trump. How long will the networks ignore this? How long will Trump?

i don’t think we understand the frightening ratio of U.S. service personnel KIA (18) and WIA (420). thanks to state of the art modern triage and treatment on and off the battlefield, many of these surviving soldiers would be dead but are likely severely disfigured and bereft of limbs. truly sad…😞
