Fishermen. That is who is being murdered. Men who catch fish for a living and have to go out in boats to catch those fish.

STOP SPREADING GOSSIP
"... people began photographing him...the digital mob poured the illegal alien and terrorist narrative into a mold, it quickly hardened into a truth-resistant bulwark of gossip and stupidity.

Guess what has been going on for a MONTH without being in the news, now that we no longer have a functioning CDC and have no USAID at all?

Only 1% of the 1000 people they've detained in "Operation Midway" have been criminals. And, of the 1500 rounded up and hauled away, 500 were later released for not being criminals OR "illegal" aliens.

I don't think Putin can afford to admit that the war hasn't been a mistake&stop the war he cannot win.This’ll mean the end of his power.He needs a war that lasts- lasts until the end of his life

Is Putin ready to stop the war?That is the wrong question
The right question is:Can Putin stop the war?⤵️

The Trump regime wants to erect a triumphal arch that remarkably resembles the "Arch of Triumph proposed by Adolph Hitler to commemorate Germany’s victory in World War II."

Only 1% of the 1000 people grabbed off the streets in "Operation Midway" outside of Chicago have any criminal record at all, and most of those "records" were from more than 10 years ago.
