In December 2018, Epstein wrote about Trump: “I am the one able to take him down.”
Eight months later, Epstein was found dead in a prison run by the Trump administration.
Weird coincidence.

Kept hearing about the "Hate American Rallies" from the Republicans before the protests. Wondering now what the messaging will be about the protests now that they've happened... crickets, perhaps?

CBS reports ICE agents have repeatedly made fake 911 calls. Each time, police found no threat. In Illinois, that’s a felony.
