ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.” What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

Today, Trump held the "Angel Family" event for families of Americans killed by immigrants and told them ‘I suffer for the Country’ and the shit below. His narcissism knows no boundaries.

BREAKING: The DOJ has explained there is a perfectly reasonable explanation for dozens of Epstein files related to Donald Trump going missing. That reason is if they didn't go missing, they would incriminate Donald Trump.

It's like Americans are sitting back waiting for the Epstein files to bury Trump, the same files he's had control of since being elected.The same files the FBI and others have heavily redacted. In the meantime,Trump continues to screw over the US, with consumate ease. Protesting seems futile.
