I'd rather not live in North Korea. The song I know says "I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free." Telling people you're only allowed to be "free" here a specific way ain't freedom. But we can disagree. I appreciate the conversation.

It's also simply not true. Every study on the matter shows they pay far more into the system than they take out, they commit crimes at much lower rates than citizens, and they're here for exactly the same reasons our forefathers came... To build a better life for themselves and their families.

I guess reading comprehension not your strength, eh? The agents testimony IS the Grand jury testimony. That's all it consists of. None of the piles of gathered evidence and documentation, no witness testimony, just these 2 agents summaries of the evidence. That's all Trump wants you to see. Why?

Good Lord. Lay off the AI pal. The Grand Jury testimony isn't the evidence. In this case, it's ONE FBI agent's summary to the court to determine if crimes likely occurred. That's all a grand jury does. And most of that has become public at this point anyway.

nyxpdx.bsky.social (@nyxpdx.bsky.social) reply parent
Take Trump's dick out of your mouth long enough to take a breath so your brain can work again. Alex Acosta got Epstein a sweetheart deal in 2008 that protected unnamed co-conspirators from prosecution. Virginia Giuffre was hired from Mar-a-Lago. Alex Acosta was rewarded with a Sec. Labor position.
