I am, in fact, not the real Brutus Thornapple from the cartoon. I'm just another born loser in terms of my luck at times. Despite the red shirt, I vote blue.

Ten countries have launched investigations related to the released Epstein files.
Norway, UK, France, Lithuania, Latvia, Sweden, Australia, North Macedinia, Turkey, Poland.
Conspicuously absent is the United States, the epicenter of this scandal.
We know why.

Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third.
All that “immigrants are bleeding us dry” noise? Absolute bullshit.

I cannot stress this enough: If you work/ed at FBI and know something about the Epstein files, find me on Signal.

You’re watching the administration lose control of the narrative in real time.
The more they show their supporters that they don’t give a shit about their gun rights, the worse it gets.
I’ve seen over a dozen right-wing commentators call out the propaganda. That’s progress.

Read this response until it makes sense to you.
Who wants to tell Pete Alex Pretti did all 3 and they killed him anyway?

Read this response until it makes sense to you.
Read it until it your core boils with disappointment. This is not America.
BREAKING: A witness who was just 5 feet from Alex Pretti filed an affidavit depicting what she saw.
She says he didn’t touch any of the officers and didn’t appear to be resisting. He was merely helping a woman who had been pepper-sprayed.
She’s is terrified that ICE is looking for her.

Jones: All you do is keep people fearful because you get paid 45 million a year to keep people fearful so they don’t pay attention to the CEOS taking their healthcare. You don’t care about the American people. You want them to be afraid of immigrants because all you have is fear.

POLICE CHIEF: “If it’s happening to our officers, it pains me to think how many of our community members are falling victim to this every day.”
ICE is even racially profiling off-duty Black & Brown cops— including pulling guns on one and knocking her phone out of her hand.
