Have a nice night.
We wanted decent healthcare, a living wage and free college.
The Democrats gave us Biden and war instead.
I'm quite enjoying the spectacle of the lying press
this Epstein fellow who got killed....autopsy shows broken neck bones consistent with manual strangulation and extremely rare in suicides. The press consensus? What a mystery! That yelling that came from his cell? Must have been guards who were concerned about what they found.
We can conclude this is not the Age of Enlightenment.
So we are being told that the video camera outside
Epstein's cell wasn't working right? I'm sure that the other video cameras in the vicinity were and they caught anyone who wasn't supposed to be in the prison if he was in fact killed. The media jumped right to he died by suicide when the justice department was saying 'apparent' suicide. It's almost like the media wants people to believe that there is no other option for how he died. Then there's all the reports of people hearing him screaming during the time he was killing himself. I want to see the video logs.
Just too many different stories coming out which seems like they want people baffled. The most important prisoner in prison at the time got guarded by a temp? Sure... and if prisons don't have enough guards to keep them safe then stop adding people.
@snoopydawg
This is why no nation with any decency or respect for humanity should extradite a prisoner back to the United States, regardless of the crime. US prisons are murder palaces — no different than Israel or Saudi Arabia. These nations have out-of-control psychopaths in charge of their governments.
OMG and LMAO!
A solemn sight. Sheesh! What's next a state funeral? BTW. Maxwell has been found staying with some rich dude here in the states so why hasn't she been arrested yet? I would think that people have a few questions that they might want to ask her.
Why did Clinton and other politicians fly on Epstein's plane?
Sure, Chris. This is why Bill Clinton flew on his plane 25 times. He said that he used Epstein's plane to fly to the Clinton foundation events because he was trying to save money even though the foundation is probably worth billions.
Mossad, actually.
As per today.
About those 'broken' bones in his neck
From way of the bern...good comment.
Beholden to Israel? Nah...
The only way that congress could be more shameless than posing in front of missiles would be for them to pose in front of some hospital to rub it in that we give Israel $3.8 billion a year and they have decent health care while we are stuck with junk insurance. Or something.
Even worse is while we subsidize Israel

'Perfect Illustration of Israel's Racist Apartheid Policies': Netanyahu Denounced for Barring Muslim Congresswomen Omar and Tlaib
I never knew that the term "Never Again" only pertained to
those born Jewish
"Antisemite used to be someone who didn't like Jews
now it's someone who Jews don't like"
Heard from Margaret Kimberley
Trump is once again stoking the hatred for those two
He said that Israel should ban them from entering the country because of their hatred for Jews. Neither woman has said anything close to that, but that won't matter to people who believe him and don't like her. AOC has gotten death threats because of what Trump has said. I think Omar has too. Ha..Trump told Talib to go back to her country, but Bibi won't let her.
That the president of the USA saying the things he does about people in congress has to be ____fill in the blank because I can't come up with the right thing to say about it. Just imagine Obama saying things like that about republicans. People would be all over him like white on rice. But then there's Nancy calling McConnell Moscow Mitch... SMDH over what has happened since Trump became president. It's like watching a bunch of kindergarten kids calling each other names.
I look at this way
The Dembots hate them, too. You won't see Biden defending them.
And the White Supremacists also hate the Jews.
The US is a 24/7 hate fest. We hate the Russians, the Venezuelans, the Mexican, the Chinese, the Cubans, the French, the Dutch, the Malaysians, the Hawaiians, the New Yorkers, the immigrants, the Canadians, the Iranians, the Saudis, the rest of the Middle East and Africa, any country with national health care, and all the shithole countries, too. We hate the Nazis, the Commies, the Socialists, and anyone who is not a Christian.
We should have a nationwide street fair. We have so much in common
But we seem to adore

Ha! Brilliant final verse.
I like Ike
I don’t know if anyone has written a book about him, but it seems there should be. He was massively important to the story of R&B and rock and roll but I think people don’t realize how much he did until he got famous in the 60s and 70s.
I also grew up with the Ike and Tina Proud Mary. It was a long time before I heard CCR’s original. We had the Turner’s record in the house, but my parents had a different CCR album.
Idolizing a politician is like believing the stripper really likes you.
There was a movie made.
But Ike did not have a flattering role, which tended to focus on his abuse of Tina. I didn't realize that his blues influence was so wide.
Yep.

I like Ike!
Great Ike, he could play guitar fantastic, he was fast...
and actually very progressive and I might dare say ahead of his time. Good songwriting, arrangements, singing, he was really talented, just bad with women apparently... and bizness. He had more troubles than ... Thanks for the tunes!
We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.
