That Jair Bolsonaro is serving a 27 year prison sentence in Brazil for attempting a coup, while an America president who did the same thing is not only free, but trying to help him escape is exactly the kind of thing that makes the U.S. a third world country.

I hope everyone in the Epstein Files gets outed, even if it will be disappointing in some cases. Regardless of political affiliation, fame, wealth, or any other reason, it’s indefensible behavior. Identify them all, let the chips fall where they may, and then move on.

Federal agents used chemical weapons on Chicagoans at least 49 times — even after a judge said to stop.
Contrary to federal claims about attacks on agents, most of these incidents appear to involve nonviolent protesters or bystanders. blockclubchi.co/47PoaXb
