I think Donald Trump only had Don Jr as a way of avoiding being known as The Least Self-Aware Person Ever. Although Elon Musk provides stiff competition.

King: According to Secretary Rubio, this plan is not the administration’s position β€” it is essentially the Russians’ wish list that is now being presented to the Europeans and to the Ukrainians.

Trumps Russia-Ukraine peace plan.
Ukraine should just surrender.
This isn’t a peace plan it’s fawning to Putin.

Don’t trust Trump ever.

Twitter implemented a new feature last night that displayed the country an account is in. So many of the β€˜America First’ accounts were from foreign countries that they had to disable the feature within hours. πŸ™„

7 Allegations Against Meta in Newly Unsealed Filings Court filings allege Meta tolerated sex trafficking, hid harms to teens, and prioritized growth over user safety for years.

Sex trafficking on Meta platforms was both difficult to report and widely tolerated. Instagram’s former head of safety testified that when she joined Meta in 2020 she was shocked to learn the company had a β€œ17x” strike policy for accounts that engaged in the β€œtrafficking of humans for sex.”

Ghislaine Maxwell will plead Fifth in House Epstein probe, Comer says The late sex offender's convicted co-conspirator has been subpoenaed by the House Oversight Committee.

Interesting. Ghislaine Maxwell's lawyers says she will plead the fifth if forced to testify to Congress. But she willingly sat down with Todd Blanche? What a load of horseshit. www.politico.com/live-updates...

When Trump was asked about the release of the Epstein files, he called one reporter "piggy" and said another was "being insubordinate."

When Trump saw a video calling on the military to follow the constitution, he called for the death of the Democrats who made the video.

He's a tyrant.

The treasonous, evil scum in this vile regime need to be called out everywhere by everyone! Comics, SNL, Senators, Reps, Governors, state and local. A barrage of an attack needs to be made on Steven Miller, Russ Vought and others… We must exert extreme social pressure to get them out!
