Trump’s crusade to bully the ICC into shielding him from war-crimes scrutiny reveals a deranged desperation that no democracy can indulge. Humanity cannot afford a leader who threatens global justice to save himself. Prosecution isn’t vengeance; it is survival. #JusticeForAll #StopTheImpunity

Trump: "It's been an interesting day from the standpoint of news. As you probably know, we've just seized a tanker on the coast of Venezuela. Largest one ever seized actually. And other things are happening."

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

The indictments of James Comey and Letitia James are unprecedented. If a president can decide which of his enemies he wants prosecuted and make it happen, then no one is safe.

This is a clear and present danger to our country, and we cannot write it off as business as usual.

The plan is simple:
Consolidate the media → funnel everything through Trump’s FTC → reward the obedient conglomerates → suffocate everyone else.
This is how you manufacture consent in 2025.
This is how you build state media without ever saying the words.

Sounds like you have some self evaluations coming.
In a democracy the voters hold the keys.
Thumbs on the scale for sure but the great loophole in the system is the vote.
Use it well or lose it.

I'd bet you have some votes that shame you.

Calling the press “fake news” is harmful. Calling them “seditious, perhaps even treasonous” for publishing reporting is something else entirely. Treason is a capital crime. Suggesting journalists should face it for exercising their First Amendment rights and doing their jobs is dangerous.

I've said it halfway tongue in cheek before but I suspect Vance genuinely does want him to at least make it to Jan 20, 2027 (more than two years as acting president means Vance could only run for one full term under the 22nd Amendment)
