What a sad state our country is in when the Senate has to debate whether a President’s former personal lawyer—who has led the burying of the Epstein Files and promised to make Trump immune from tax crimes—should be our nation’s highest law enforcement officer.
UPDATE: At 9:15am, former US Capitol Insurrection prosecutors will have press conference with Senators to discuss the "refusal of Trump Administration judicial nominees to acknowledge the results of the 2020 election or admit that what happened on January 6"

Fox Propaganda wanted President Obama in jail for ObamaCare and called President Biden a dictator for trying to erase student debt, but haven’t said one word about the orange felon trying to fund Jan 6 terrorists, protecting pedos or committing money laundering. Funny how that works.

Thank you, Michigan. I love you from the bottom of my heart!
Americans can you explain why it does not qualify for needing a revolution ? Throwing justice under the bus makes hell wide open. Society holds if people defend it.
Nicholas Grossman@nicholasgrossman.bsky.social · 5h agoA paramilitary group plotted to overthrow the Constitution then conducted a violent attack on America.

A 60 Minutes probe into Epstein's banking, with Wyden already interviewed, vanished right after Sharyn Alfonsi got pushed out under Bari Weiss. Same editor who stalled the CECOT migrant story until Stephen Miller got a say. CBS keeps calling it timing. Sure looks like a pattern.
