Imagine calling a decent person stupid or the R-word and getting cheered for it because “at least they’re being honest.” That is MAGA.

What is wrong with these people? Who raised you?

The names of Epstein’s victims must be protected, period.

A judge is already moving to redact the victims before the files are released. So if the survivors are shielded, the DOJ has no excuse for any other redactions, right?

After pressure from the Justice Department, Apple pulled apps from its App Store that encourage reporting ICE activity. Google followed suit by pulling similar apps from its Play Store.

The government shouldn't be choosing what apps we can download, and neither should tech companies.

"I can get loud."

In the wake of the Epstein fight, Rep. Adelita Grijalva has become a voice for sexual assault survivors.

"Advocacy for people that feel like they don't have a voice has always been something that I'm very comfortable with. I think that it is our responsibility."

The Arizona Democrat is the least senior member of Congress, but she was thrust into the spotlight as her fight to be seated coincided with the Epstein saga.

Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing

"Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions."

It is unfathomable that the USG lawyers would sign off on a no-survivors boat strike (no get of jail free card).

There's clear precedent dating back to World War II trial of Germans for that very act, which lawyers know well.

FUN FACT: Hegseth was confirmed 51-50 with Vice President JD Vance casting the tie-breaking vote. Republican senators Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski and Mitch McConnell joined all Democrats in opposing his confirmation.
King: Are you saying Geneva Conventions shouldn't be followed in the future?

Hegseth: Rules about how we treat prisoners, etc., in the geneva convention is important but we have to acknowledge that how was fought when they were drafted is not the reality of how war is fought now..

Thing is, we DID hear about it at his confirmation hearing.

Every single senator who voted to confirm Hegseth knew he held these views about the laws of war.

They voted to confirm him anyway.
Everyone should read this terrifying thread about Hegseth’s published views wrt war crimes. It’s pretty fucking radical …. We needed to hear about this in his confirmation hearing.
A chapter in Hegseth’s book is literally titled “More Lethality, Less Lawyers.”

It’s almost as if there were signs!
