The founders believed that if a madman became president, members of Congress would serve the country’s interest and remove him from office. That seemed a reliable system to safeguard the republic. Boy, did they screw up.

Stansbury: “The vast majority of co-conspirators that were investigated were the women who assisted in Epstein's crimes— None of the male perpetrators who committed rape & SA, including potentially the president who’s accused in the files, have been called to testify & to account for what happened”

IMMORAL… This drawing was made by one of the 5 year old El Gamal twins. It shows children behind bars with the caption, “I’m 5 years old.” An immigration judge denied them bond, citing “insufficient assets.” These children could remain in detention for years while their case is appealed.
