The Trump administration is just a larger version of Trump’s and Epstein’s operations, where instead of children and young girls, the prey is America and anything else they can grab.

My entire year has been getting yelled at by these guys because I dont like kids being bombed.
Sure, the ratio is satisfying, but it means nothing if our PM rolls over for their fascistic demands on our democracy, anyway.

Keep doing your good work, David. If they complain, you're doing something right. You're speaking with a social conscience, they are not awake yet. Your work may help them eventually, we hope. There's always hope!

The New York Times investigated 346 people who donated at least $250,000 to Trump and found that more than half of them (197) have received pardons, jobs, government contracts, special treatment, or favors.
Hundreds of Big Post-Election Donors Have Benefited From Trump’s Return to Office
Well into his second term, the president and his allies have continued aggressively raising money. Many donors have interests before his administration, The Times found.

Rabbi Eli Schlanger is STILL being praised on the ABC News website. This Zionist hate preacher openly celebrated Israel's #GazaGenocide, raised funds for illegal Israeli settlements in the #WestBank AND called for the ethnic cleansing of "Arabs" from Palestine bc "it's our land, it belongs to us." 😲

There is not much difference in my regard for the Islamic State Flag and the Israeli Flag. Both represent abhorrent practices and twisted beliefs. Australian Jews should obviously be protected and be safe in our community, but you do wish they wouldn’t front up everywhere with that bloody flag.

Epstein brought a young girl to Trump. 'This is a good one, right?' Trump smiled and nodded in agreement.
They both chuckled, and Doe felt uncomfortable but, at the time, was too young to understand why.
My god, this is really stomach-churning and extremely hard to bear.
