This couldn’t be clearer. Bannon’s texts to Epstein in mid July 2018 - “overthrowing May right now” and in “London with Boris” as well as his appearance on LBC with Nigel Farage are prettying damning evidence of a cross party plot with foreign backing

Message from inside Iran:
Please help us. The situation here is horrific. It is a full scale war. The regime's forces show no mercy. They shoot protesters in the head and heart and even finish off those already wounded on the streets. In hospitals the wounded are being kidnapped and killed.

This viral video claims to show US flags being waved in Venezuela to celebrate the US seizure of Nicolas Maduro. While the video is recent and was posted by a TikTok user over the weekend, a simple geolocation shows that the gathering took place in Panama City, not Venezuela.

Have been thinking about “immigration has been tearing this country apart.” Surely I’m not the only person to think that it isn’t true, but inflamed rhetoric about immigration by politicians is what is tearing this country apart and so statements like that only makes it worse.

Yes. When the richest man alive owns over 5 times more wealth than the bottom 50% of American households, our country is rapidly moving towards oligarchy. That is unacceptable. We must create an economy and a government that works for all of us, not just the billionaire class.
