DanielsGoldman.dg4ny.co presented FBI evidence of a horrific assault by Trump on a 13-year-old girl. They want us looking elsewhere, but we won't be moved. We will not be distracted from the #EpsteinFiles. We demand the truth.

This is from right wing "journalist" Jack Posobiec who has access to the White House. He clearly called for murdering President Biden in 2021. Why wasn't he charged by Trump's DOJ for doing exactly what James Comey did?

"Enemy from within." "Communists, Marxists, fascists, radical left thugs, vermin." "Garbage" Somalis, "low IQ people." "She's an evil, sick, crazy, b..." Republicans want the left to tone down the rhetoric. Erm, have they listened to Donald Trump?? x.com/mehdirhasan/...

DOJ "wants us to believe that one of the nation’s leading civil rights groups, the people who broke the Klan and continue to expose the white supremacist groups that crop up in its wake, is actually supporting racism and domestic terror, that they’re in fact responsible for whipping up the frenzy."

Trump's lies have stopped working. There’s a point when even the most deluded of those Trump pulled so effectively into his vast web of lies and false promises can't reconcile their reality with the president’s fiction. I think we’ve reached that point. My column: www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

“A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.” These are the words of the president of the United States, today. The president speaks genocide. And so we too must speak. Not only about crimes, but about their legal punishment. snyder.substack.com/p/the-presid...

Wow! x.com/zone_astrono...

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.
