Iâm so sorry they believed Trump (and Rubio) would support democracy and national sovereignty. But that was a foolish assumption.

Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Quâran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.

Pretty much sums up where the USA is today. If Trump and his billionaire media tycoon buddies get their way, in 2026 we won't even be able to watch legitimate news from overseas. They are pushing for all alt-right propaganda all the time.

Nick Fuentes is simply another fringe MAGA nut you probably never would have heard of if Trump were not elected. Steve Bannon is in the same category. If we hadn't embraced a corrupt racist & misogynist like

you never would have heard of these people. Their ideas are not valid.
