So everyone must understand that there’s no bottom here. ICE will kidnap anyone, lie about any incident, ram the cars of citizens—or shoot them—with impunity, mislead courts... if the SS would do it, the rogue paramilitary operation Lewandowski and Miller are running with Trump’s blessing would too.

Kristi Noem isn’t running ICE, per federal insiders. She’s a figurehead—a cosplaying grifter. ICE is being run by Corey Lewandowski (the second-most evil campaign manager Trump ever had, after Paul Manafort, but it’s close) and Stephen Miller, perhaps the most evil man ever to enter the White House.

ICE is stockpiling weapons. It’s disappeared 170+ citizens. It’s gassed cops, arrested vets and shot priests in the head. It’s the personal army of a rogue POTUS—a fascist ex-con and rapist—and it’s masked, armed, nameless, faceless and insignia-less. It’s intended use is exactly what we fear it is.

Thank you to the millions of you across the country for keeping the protests peaceful and for demonstrating that we love the American ideals of democracy, equality, and freedom.

A tweet from Kaivan Shroff reads: “An entirely peaceful protest in the largest city in the country. 0 arrests. There goes that MAGA talking point.” Below, a retweeted post from NYPD News states: “The majority of the No Kings protests have dispersed at this time and all traffic closures have been lifted. We had more than 100,000 people across all five…” The post highlights that the large-scale “No Kings” protests in New York City ended peacefully without any arrests.

Paul Ingrassia nomination as Special Counsel on life support after Majority Leader (and other Rs) say they're opposed given his long track record of racist + other messages.

Trump: "Buttigieg spent billions fixing the air traffic control. They used copper wire going into glass wire. Any union electrician here or any non-union electrician would say you can't hook copper into glass. It doesn't work. They spent billions, turned on the system & it was stone cold blank"

Casual, Normalized Racism.
If something like this was said 10 years ago it'd be the end of the career or if something remotely close was said in a corporate office they'd be instantly fired. The whole objective of Trumpism is to Normalise Hate and Bigotry in America.. make no mistake about it.

Trump: "Schumer is even losing to AOC plus 3. What happened to the plus 3? Are they still around? I met the president of Somalia and I said, 'I have somebody I'd like to give back to you.' He said, 'No thanks. We don't want her.'"

He really is the biggest phony. But to be honest, it really takes the biggest phony to survive as Speaker of this House GOP. Anyone with any real principles would be in an impossible position.

I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.

Comer: "The evidence we've gathered does not implicate President Trump in any way. Public reporting, survivor testimony, and official documents show that Bill Clinton had far closer ties to Epstein. We're working to bring former President Clinton in for a deposition, but Democrats aren't helping"

Jamal Khashoggi would be 67 years old today had Jared Kushner not provided MBS with the intel needed to facilitate his murder. MBS later rewarded Kushner with a $2 billion dollar slush fund.

Anyone who read the sections of PROOF OF DEVILRY already released is in no way surprised by this. Trump has a decades-long history of pimpery—including with underage girls—and this just confirms that he hasn't changed one iota.

It's depressing that people are surprised by this reporting from Zeteo.
