It's not normal for an American president to send troops to American cities in times of peace. Chicago, document what you see and be loud for America.

Why didn’t some of the Epstein survivors speak out earlier? “I thought someone was going to kill me,” one explained. As another asked, “Why did the government work so hard to protect Jeffrey Epstein and not victims like me?”

Today’s presser with survivors of Epstein and Maxwell’s gruesome debauchery just reinforces that the Epstein files are being covered up to protect RICH and POWERFUL MEN from shame and to keep them above the law. It’s disgusting.

How do any lawyers or legal commentators still say the Supreme Court majority believes “unity executive theory” and rules according to that interpretation? You witnessed years of the same Justices restricting a president only to do the opposite when the White House changed hands. Why help the lie?

Anyone who says: “well RFK has some good ideas,“ should be written off as crazy. Sure, there’s lots of people that have talked about reforming the food system and making sure kids get a more balanced diet, but they’re also not conspiracy theorists and liars. Do not promote the wrong people.

The overall takeaway from the Epstein survivors’ press conference is that they are united and are no longer going to allow rich and powerful men to victimize, silence and intimidate them. Including the ones in Congress and the perp in the Oval Office.
