It doesn't seem like the FBI investigating a journalist for exposing Patel spending tax $ to have a full-time FBI SWAT team guard his girlfriend will help him achieve his goal of stopping people from finding out he's spending their tax $ on stuff like having an FBI SWAT team guard his girlfriend.

Sorry to be overly sincere for a second, but here's why we decided to persevere through all of the bullshit and take over InfoWars. There's just gotta be a line somewhere. Thank you @pablo.show for letting me talk so openly about this.

The number of US military personnel in the Middle East is only 20% higher than usual, totaling 50,000. During the invasion of Iraq in 2003, there were 500,000. The plan isn't a large-scale ground war - it's special ops raids: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/trump-goes...

One thing I believe, as a white person, is far too many white people forget the debt that activism in the US owes generally to the Civil Rights movement, and how much the instruments of power that Stephen Miller is trying to extend across the country are those of Jim Crow.

"Sir, did you just abuse and insult a journalist for asking a question? And did you publicly call a woman a piggie? Is this the way a U.S. President behaves?" A reporter who so spoke loses WH credentials, maybe his job if his agency is gutless. But absent such, the entire WHPC is without honor.

Why did you choose journalism, or politics, or law, if you're just going to go along with this? Someone has to go first, be brave and risk it all because that is the right thing to do. And if you're in a place to do that, but choose not to, you are a coward and disgrace to your profession.
