This entire globally destructive catastrophe is the result of this grotesque man needing, for reasons wired deep into the violent inadequacies of his degenerate pallid being, to scrap the deal that boxed up “the nuclear” because it was signed by Obama. A white supremacist tantrum rocks the world.

Melania is bringing up the Epstein files to distract from the Iran War which was started to distract from the Epstein files.

This is one of the more respectful things I imagine is being done to these portraits.

🚨 THIS JUST IN: With over 100 protests still to come, we can already estimate that at least 8 million people participated in No Kings protests today.

Kash Patel chugging beer.

Pete Hegseth chugging champagne.

FBI Director Kash Patel and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth establish a joint task force in the lead-up to war with Iran.

Eliminate this agency now.

Kinda hope six members of Congress record a video urging CBP agents not to collect duties from unlawful tariffs.
