Trump instigated the situation to justify doing this. Period.

It was always going to end this way because Putin ordered it, and he has enough video on Trump and his billionaire pals to get what he wants.

If only Epstein had lived long enough to see what power he still wields in this world— wars, fascism, racism, genocide—can all be laid at his feet because rich people like to rape enslaved women & children and therefore the tapes exist. What a proud moment for Epstein.

Nothing is obvious any more

The American special: Pay a salary that’s not based on hours worked, then quantify work product by projects completed on time but not the amount of time needed to reach completion. Rinse and repeat. This is how you end up working 50 hours/week + weekends without extra pay above your normal salary.

Save your breath. Middle class America is happy to queue up for authoritarian rule as long as it saves them 10 minutes shopping online. Half my neighbors have Alexa in their homes and a ring camera on their door to report on themselves. My own family thinks I’m a conspiracy theorist because I won’t connect my appliances to the internet.

We can and should support the women of Iran by repeatedly bombing them and their families, destroying the cities they live in along with schools and hospitals, and possibly by obliterating the jail cell she’s being held in. I should probably add, this is sarcasm, because it also seems to be official US policy regarding the middle east in general.

Is Putin right to say he has an agreement with the US to provide diesel fuel when there is a well-known fuel shortage in Russia?

Is Putin right to say he’s ready for a peace agreement as soon as Ukraine announces a cease fire and returns all disputed territory? While completely ignoring the Ukranian civilian death toll, the deliberate bombing of schools and hospitals, and the mass kidnapping of Ukranian children?

Is Netanyahu right to say there is a cease fire with Palestinians even as Israel continues to shoot civilians, bomb hospitals and schools, and seize occupied territory?

Is Trump right to say the murder of Iranian civilians and bombing infrastructure, schools & hospitals was justified due to the lack of a nuclear agreement when HE alone is the moron who cancelled the existing agreement that worked for a lot less money than his war is costing simply because he doesn’t like that the agreement was brokered by President Obama who also received a Nobel Peace prize as a result?

Is Trump right to say Venezuelans welcomed US interference even as protests persist and the country’s economy is in free-fall and elections have been postponed?

Is mainstream media right to largely ignore all of the above and politely look away any time the Epstein files are mentioned, any witnesses release statements, or when other countries have no problem investigating & incarcerating the billionaires involved (Unless he happens to be Prince Andrew)? And somehow forget Trump’s name appears in Epstein’s seized files more times than that of Jesus’ name in the entire bible?

So many big questions to ask, but yeah, let’s endlessly debate how many troll farms Zelensky bombed in Russia.

I don’t believe the story. It’s another AI myth designed to distract us.

The president protects pedophiles because he is a pedophile himself

Build a maglev instead. Infinitely more useful
