State sponsored cruelty on this level was once thought to be dominated by the likes of Russia and the former USSR…the USA trump regime is looking to be every bit as dark as them.

Over the long weekend, the Trump administration quietly tried to deport 76 unaccompanied children to Guatemala – ignoring laws protecting such minors from speedy deportations. Thankfully, a federal judge blocked the effort. The cruelty of this regime knows no bounds.

Something is happening. I have no idea what, but it's something. And the WH Press Corps(e) has to know something. They're assigned to the WH. They follow the President around. The roads get blocked in DC when the motorcade travels, etc... He may not be dead or even sick. But, it's something.

Thousands of farm animals & livestock are going unattended. They aren’t being milked. They aren’t being fed. I feel a great deal more for those animals than for the farmers who voted for this shit. They KNEW who their workers were & where they came from. But they voted to hurt them anyway.

I think it would resemble a Northern Ireland sort of scenario with sporadic bombings and skirmishes breaking out between government and local resistance groups. While that is going on, states such as California will look to leave the dictatorship for a new path in their own. Maga destroying the USA.

If this turns into war, there will be no traditional front lines. Civil wars in modern times are a bit different. It’s too bad tho because drawing everyone out into the rural areas would be best. But this will be urban combat, in multiple cities simultaneously.

Normally, the Department of Justice rewards witnesses for turning on co-defendants, co-conspiracists, and accomplices. Ghislaine Maxwell is probably the first witness rewarded for *absolving* them. Because she is part of a coverup, not a prosecution.
