The Just-us Department has recommended that one of the officers involved in the murder of Breonna Taylor be sentenced to a single day in prison. They claim the prosecution went overboard & “he has already suffered enough”. A young woman is dead because these officers saw her as less than human.

Of course it was Trump. Do you the no, after all the death & destruction that Trump is somehow incapable of murder??What evidence is there that Trump has any opposition to murder for his own benefit???

dlvr.it'Had dirt on Donald Trump': Jeffrey Epstein's brother says White House had motiveJeffrey Epstein's brother Mark Epstein added heat to the inferno that’s already scalding the White House this week. Epstein was a guest on the Friday edition of Don Lemon’s ‘Lemon LIVE at 5 podcast’, when he claimed Trump had a reason to kill his brother. “We know that Jeffrey had dirt on Donald Trump,” Epstein told Lemon. “We know that’s a fact because he said in 2016 with the election that if he said what he knew, they’d have to cancel the election. He didn’t tell me what he knows, but that’s what he said. And I’ve been public about that before. That shouldn’t come as a shock.” READ MORE: Trump's flip-flopping after his new plans 'backfire' are all part of the plan: psychologist Jeffrey Epstein bounded back into the news this week when the Justice Department of President Donald Trump failed to deliver on promises to release the notorious sex-trafficker's client list. Earlier this year, Trump’s appointed U.S. Attorney Pam Bondi told Fox News that Epstein’s list was "sitting on my desk right now to review." She more recently walked back that claim, saying Epstein's Department of Justice file — not his famed client list — was what was had been on her desk, and that there actually was no client list. The nothingburger roiled the MAGA universe, which had fed for years on conspiracy theories that powerful politicians and media figures had Epstein murdered in prison to hide their connection to Epstein’s trafficking scheme. Trump himself and many in his administration had ramped up conspiracy claims in the months leading up to his November election. Trump has since adopted a new tone, rebuking a reporter earlier this week after being asked about Epstein. Members of Trump’s MAGA following are turning on Trump, claiming the about-face looks suspicious, with critics warning it could work against him in the midterms. Epstein’s brother said Friday that he is among the fold that feels Trump is incriminated in his brother’s death.

So, the people who are coming out with these ridiculous statements, I think, are covering up for somebody, right? So, who are they covering up for? … [FBI Director] Kash Patel works for the president of the United States. [U.S. Attorney General] Pam Bondi works for the president the United States. Maybe someone should ask him what he knows.” “Who do you think they’re covering up for?” Lemon pressed. “Who do they all work for?” Epstein demanded. “They all work for Donald Trump,” Lemon said.

For just $300 deposit, you & 3,000 MAGAS can get booked on a cruise to celebrate the 250th Anniversary. How long before one of them goes postal & slaughters the rest? Haven’t they read Lord of the Flies? Stupid question, of course not.

You want far left? See below for a peek. Keep acting like Hitler & this will be your reality & Americans will love it.

We need to read up on how they got that Wannabe Hitler out of office & into court is record time. On their J6, there were buses waiting after the riot to cart off the Insurrectionists. Now he is in criminal court for also trying to poison the new President. Who here believes Trump never did that?

Just so we’re clear, he wants us to pay more for goods we get from Brazil because he wants to save a foreign political crony on trial for corruption. Not seeing the “America First” mentality here…

North Carolina & New York are actively investigating election interference. Statistically impossible results have launched lawsuits & a wave of support for hand counts of ballots. To protect DJT, the Supreme Court gave Trump a free pass to break the law. Soon he will declare martial law.

Military flights with migrants loaded onto cargo planes & shackled together like those used in Argentina to dump people in the ocean are being tracked. 31 people washed up on shore of an island. More info as it becomes available. IS ICE DUMPING MIGRANTS IN THE OCEAN?

The thing about the Khalil case is that it's very very good that he's free now but you can't have it take three months between "the government kidnaps you off the street for no basis reason whatsoever" and "a judge makes them let you go." You just can't.

The only reason the Clvil Rights workers were found in 1969 is because the search for their bodies was turning up so many murdered black people.

On Juneteenth and forever… Honor, don’t bury or whitewash the history of our ancestors who were lynched. (National Lynching Memorial in Montgomery, Alabama)

A Bounty Hunter spoke to a City Council on 1/27/25 saying he had been contacted by the Trump Regime to round up “illegals” for $1,000-$1,500 each. That’s why they have their faces covered & why ICE has overspent their budget.

Trump did the same thing in 2020. Unmarked men in unmarked vans swept up protesters who held them for hours, stole their phones, sexually ally assaulted women & abandoned them miles away. I saw live stream of this.

I don’t care what city or town you live in. If these guys jumped out of an unmarked van and grabbed you on the street, would you just assume they’re ICE or FBI? Would you willingly comply with their orders and get inside the van? THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. THIS IS NOT AMERICA.

Christian Stephen’s, an active duty service member has been placed on an involuntary mental health hold after speaking out against FAKE ICE activities in Colorado People are hoping an appeal to the governor will get him released. FREE SPEECH IS DEAD. RULE OF LAW IS DEAD. ICE IS BOUNTY HUNTERS

Donald Trump has given permission & encouragement to these MAGA Republican politicians & radical insurrectionists to encourage violence against Democrats. We are next on their hit list & I strongly suggest arming yourselves as no one with an opinion is safe from these animals.

The reason the Trump regime is not recognizing due process for migrants is because none of the masked, unmarked ICE agents would pass scrutiny in court. Most of ICE are untrained, criminal, white supremicists hired because they were pardoned by POTUS from 1/6 & other attempted coups.

The Trump Regime is trying to overthrow the state of California. They detained a Senator, took powers away from the Gov., threaten to arrest the Gov. & the Mayor. They are disappearing legal non-criminal migrants, knowing they are beloved members of our community & integral to our functioning.

Trump can tell all his mentally impaired MAGATS to use the word “insurrection“ re:demonstrations. It doesn’t change that on 1/6/21, he incited a mob to break into the Capitol, hunt down his opponents, inc. the VP & to overturn the election. HE DID NOTHING TO PROTECT CONGRESS OR AMERICA.
