Since Antifa lacks a distinct leader, membership list, or structure it can hardly be called an organization. Former FBI Director Christopher Wray described it as more an ideology than an organization. That won't stop demented members of our current government from executing critics, however.

This guy sounds even more deranged than Trump. He's the mentor and close friend of JD Vance, so good luck to us if anything happens to our current dear leader:

"Trump’s lying is no less constant or blatant than in 2016, but by now it feels familiar, already priced in. What more is there to say about the “war on truth” a decade into Trump’s political career?"

Adam Kinzinger @adamkinzinger.substack.com · 19d

Just to note. January 23, 2019 there was a vote to reopen government (HJ RES 28, roll call vote 46) when the govt had been shut down for 30 days.

Mike Johnson voted “no” on that.

They didn’t seem to mind shutdowns then

All these cave ins by the media giants are just encouraging him. I guess the threat of shutdowns is too great. He really is the bully and blackmailer in chief.

Meanwhile, J.D Vance's investment firm is standing by. They specialize in selling distressed US farmland to foreign investors. Could this be related? 😱

I find it odd that the only person who has been revealed recently to have sent damaging emails to Epstein is Fergie. Come on, you must have something from this side of the pond.
