"The woman who directly named Trump in her abuse allegation claimed that around 1983, when she was around 13 yrs old, Epstein introduced her to Trump who subsequently forced her head down to his exposed penis which she subsequently bit. In response, Trump punched her in the head and kicked her out."

When Ds are back in charge, they have to change everything. No moderate half-measures. Just relentless razing of the corrupt institutions that enriched the worst people in the world and propped up fascism.

A few suggestions...

Jesus Christ… you need to go, you are not meeting this moment.

ABOLISH ICE.

How to Rein in ICE–NOW

Masked federal agents are terrorizing our communities β€” teargassing babies and pastors, kidnapping our neighbors and shipping them off to foreign torture prisons, and killing innocent people.

But we’re not powerless in this moment. In fact, we have an opportunity to rein in ICE this month.

Trump: β€˜We shouldn’t even have an election’ Read more here.

NEW: "We shouldn’t even have an election,” Trump said as he complained about the possibility of his party losing the midterms. The remark is just the latest to suggest the president views elections as an obstacle rather than a constitutional requirement.

Transit advocates rightly put Ald. Jim Gardiner (45) on blast after he suggested on New Year's Eve, the biggest drinking night of year, that "residents avoid using [free] CTA after sundown until noticeable improvements are made."

I also think they needed to kill off a ton of these characters,
The Byer parents
Murray, Jonathan and Kali all should have died last season. They are serving no purpose this season. Hopper should have β€œstayed dead” as that could have added punch to this season
