How is it not news when the president nods off in public meetings and press conferences dozens of times? If you follow independent media, you see it and know about it. But why hasn’t CBS, NBC or ABC showed a montage of it on their evening news? They simply refuse to ever show it.

You’ll notice that the same American state media who attacked President Biden relentlessly over his age refuse to report on the orange felon illegally stealing millions of taxpayer dollars to fund campaign ads. They continue to deliberately fail democracy.

This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

Trump said deportations would lead to more jobs for American citizens. But according to new research, his cruel immigration raids actually COST jobs, including those held by American citizens. This was never about “protecting American workers.” It was always about racism and cruelty.
