Murdering crew members claiming they were smuggling drugs while pardoning a drug kingpin. Very on brand for the Trump regime.

Mike Collins of GA was overheard saying he knew Trump was in the Epstein files at the same time he was telling others it wasn't true and voting to hide them. Imagine not only being okay with a serial pedophile, but helping them get away with it.

That pig has to go.

Wtf?! MSM…
It’s ABUSIVE for the ‘president’ to hurl that invective to any reporter, including females.

It’s so sickening to watch the deference given to the most abusive, corrupt and mentally incompetent creep, ever.

Can’t watch the disintegration of our American culture. It’s unrecognizable

Every U.S. soldiers deaths are on trump and the drunken Director.

If this was about drugs, why is he releasing drug dealers?

It's about oil.

Our military members are going to die so trump can steal Venezuelan oil.

Louis D! -- Namesake of my alma mater! We revered his ideals back in the olden days. (When we had to walk uphill in the snow both ways to get to class, and vandals were punished for decorating the statue of him on campus.)
"We can either have great wealth in the hands of a few people, or we can have a democracy, but we can't have both." ~ Former Justice of the Supreme Court Louis Brandeis

Thank you Robert Reich for sharing this quote.
Some in the Democratic Party want to you think we must choose between social justice and economic populism.

Rubbish.

The only path forward is embracing both.

independent media as “Lügenpresse” (“lying press”), promote conspiracies as official truth, replace factual information with ideologically approved narratives, and use state branding to give propaganda an air of authority.

Now look at the White House website, you can see the disturbing parallels.
