WATCH: A group of ICE goons beat a man they were detaining after they'd already wrestled him to the floor in Naples, Florida on Wednesday night. Bystanders began to yell that they were filing when the ICE goons punched the man repeatedly.

Could not agree more! Not only did Hillary beat the Orange Atrocity by 2.8 MILLION votes, but Al Gore got 543,895 MORE votes than Bush! The Electoral College allows candidates who received less votes to win the presidency. ABOLISH THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

There are many in the fallen world of American politics who are more mendacious, more corrupt, more self-aggrandizing. But no one -- and I mean no one -- is as empty, soulless and craven as this man.

The TACO admin’s list of enemy podcasters and pundits is fundamentally unconstitutional as a breach of the First, Fifth and 14th Amendments. Can you imagine the uproar if Obama had made a list of Rush Limbaugh and other right wing talking heads calling them enemies of the state? I pray someone

No, a White House ballroom is *not* "critical for our national security". It's an obsession of an increasingly addled psychopath. It's a distraction from Trump's illegal war of aggression against Iran. It's a distraction from the cover-up of the crimes of Epstein, et. al.

There are currently 431 House members (217 Republicans, 214 Democrats) – only 2 Republicans would be needed to impeach Trump – leaving 20 Senate Republicans (67 vote majority) to remove him from office. 22 people are needed immediately to prevent genocide/nuclear apocalypse. Summon your courage.

Iran’s open letter to the US public
In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful To the people of the United States of America, and to all those who, amid a flood of distortions and manufactured narratives, continue to seek the :truth and aspire to a better life
Iran—by this very name, character, and identity—is one of the oldest continuous civilizations in human history. Despite its historical and geographical advantages at various times, Iran has never, in its modern history, chosen the path of aggression, expansion, colonialism, or domination. Even after enduring occupation, invasion, and sustained pressure from global powers-and despite possessing military superiority over many of its neighbors-Iran has never initiated a war.
.Yet it has resolutely and bravely repelled those who have attacked it The Iranian people harbor no enmity toward other nations, including the people of America, Europe, or neighboring countries. Even in the face of repeated foreign interventions and pressures throughout their proud history, Iranians have consistently drawn a clear distinction between governments and the peoples they govern. This is a deeply rooted principle in Iranian culture and collective consciousness—not a
•temporary political stance
For this reason, portraying Iran as a threat is neither consistent with historical reality nor with present-day observable facts. Such a perception is the product of political and economic whims of the powerful the need to manufacture an enemy  in order to justify pressure, maintain military dominance, sustain the arms industry, and control strategic markets. In such an environment, if a threat does not
•exist, it is invented 
Within this same framework, the United States has concentrated the largest number of its forces, bases, and military capabilities around Iran-a country that, at least since the founding of the United States, has never initiated a war. Recent American aggressions launched from these very bases have demonstrated how threatening such a military presence truly is.
Naturally, no country confronted with such conditions would forgo strengthening its defensive capabilities. What Iran has done-and continues to do is a measured response grounded in legitimate self-defense, and by no means an initiation of . war or aggression
Relations between Iran and the United States were not originally hostile, and early interactions between the Iranian and American people were not marred with hostilty or coup d'état-an illegal American 1953 tension. The turning point, however, was the intervention aimed at preventing the nationalization of Iran's own resources. That coup disrupted Iran's democratic process, reinstated dictatorship, and sowed deep distrust among Iranians toward U.S. policies. This distrust deepened further with America's support for the Shah's regime, its backing of Saddam Hussein during the imposed war of 1980s, the imposition of the longest and most comprehensive sanctions in modern the history, and ultimately, unprovoked military aggression-twice, in the midst of .negotiations-against Iran
Yet all these pressures have failed to weaken Iran. On the contrary, the country has grown before the Islamic %30 stronger in many areas: literacy rates have tripled-from roughly today; higher education has expanded dramatically; significant %90 Revolution to over advances have been achieved in modern technology; healthcare services have improved; and infrastructure has developed at a pace and scale incomparable to the past.
These are measurable, observable realities that stand independent of fabricated narratives
At the same time, the destructive and inhumane impact of sanctions, war…on the lives of the resilient Iranian people must not be underestimated. The continuation of military aggression and recent bombings profoundly affect people's lives, attitudes, and perspectives. This reflects a fundamental human truth: when war inflicts irreparable harm on lives, homes, cities, and futures,
•people will not remain indifferent toward those responsible
This raises a fundamental question: Exactly which of the American people's interests are truly being served by this war? Was there any objective threat from Iran to justify such behavior? Does the massacre of innocent children, the destruction of cancer-treatment pharmaceutical facilities, or boasting about bombing a country "back to the stone ages" serve any purpose other than ?further damaging the United States' global standing
Iran pursued negotiations, reached an agreement, and fulfilled all its commitments. The decision to withdraw from that agreement, escalate toward confrontation, and launch two acts of aggression in the midst of negotiations were destructive choices made by the U.S. government-choices that served the delusions of a foreign aggressor
Attacking Iran's vital infrastructure-including energy and industrial facilities-directly targets the Iranian people. Beyond constituting a war crime, such actions carry consequences that extend far beyond Iran's borders. They generate instability, increase human and economic costs, and perpetuate cycles of tension, planting seeds of resentment that will endure for years. This is not a demonstration of strength; it is a sign of strategic bewilderment and an inability to achieve a sustainable solution
Is it not also the case that America has entered this aggression as a proxy for Israel, influenced and manipulated by that regime? Is it not true that Israel, by manufacturing an Iranian threat, seeks to divert global attention away from its crimes toward the Palestinians? Is it not evident that Israel now aims to fight Iran to the last American soldier…the burden of its delusions onto Iran, the region, and the United States itself in ?pursuit of illegitimate interests
?Is "America First" truly among the priorities of the U.S. government today
I invite you to look beyond the machinery of misinformation-an integral part of this aggression-and instead speak with those who have visited Iran. Observe the many accomplished Iranian immigrantseducated in Iran-who now teach and conduct research at the world's most prestigious universities, or contribute to the most advanced technology firms in the West. Do these realities align with the distortions you are being ?told about Iran and its people
Today, the world stands at crossroads. Continuing along the path of confrontation is more costly and futile than ever before. The choice between confrontation and engagement is both real and consequential; its outcome will shape the future for generations to come.
Throughout its millennia of proud history, Iran has outlasted many aggressors. All that remains of them are tarnished names in history, while Iran endures-resilient, dignified. and proud
