Pete Hegseth is removing or blocking the promotions of all military officers who he has determined would not participate in an illegal pro-Trump self-coup (auto-coup) in 2028. You can believe me now or believe me in 2028. Either way, stop seeing what Hegseth is doing as random.

MAGA howled for a decade about President Obama unfreezing Iranian assets, falsely calling it a gift and terming him a terrorist enabler. So we'll now hear MAGAs howl about Trump for 50 years and call him an *actual terrorist*, right? Because they're not fucking hypocrites, right?

Donald Trump’s deranged threat to destroy “a whole civilization” in Iran is a threat to commit war crimes and genocide. Republicans in Congress must prevail upon VP Vance, now campaigning for Putin’s puppet Viktor Orban in Hungary, to return to the U.S. and invoke Section 4 of the 25th Amendment.

Sorry... you are telling me that during the run-up to the 2020 presidential election the Trump FBI hid the fact that it was actively investigating sitting president Trump for Child Rape? Because that would appear to be what happened, and it appears also that the death of Epstein ended that probe...

I have now watched the video of the execution today and it is absolutely horrifying. One cannot unsee it. You can clearly see in the video that an ICE agent fires multiple shots into the man *after* he is already shot and presumably dead. It was an execution in broad daylight by the Trump regime.

Law enforcement uses 'reasonable suspicion' to make arrests, as protected under the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The Supreme Court has already vindicated us on this position.
A person's immigration status makes them a target for enforcement, not their skin color, race or ethnicity.
