The Trumpstein Survivors Take a Seat at SOTU:

It sure seems like every other country is holding their predators accountable, but in America we keep on protecting ours. It'd sure be nice to put all these perverts in jail where they belong and finally get justice for the victims.

Updates:

Trump announced last weekend he was bumping his global tariffs up to 15% but then never signed the order so it’s 10% today not 15. He also claimed a hospital ship was on the way to Greenland which never actually happened either. Everything is totally fine.

ICE Barbie-The Pathological Lying Bitch!:

Kristi Noem lied about an immigrant being a cannibal. Of course it was all made up nonsense. Normal people didn’t believe it, just like we didn’t believe Haitians were eating pets. This is part of dehumanization of immigrants playbook. Fear and hate is the point.

CNN: Should the president meet with Epstein survivors? JIM JORDAN: I leave that the White House. Everyone knows the president didn't do anything wrong, because if he had, you don't think the Garland DOJ and Biden administration would've brought it up?
