Maduro -- One hell of a distraction.

Epstein files, recent release of Jack Smith deposition.

The illiterate, illogical, ignorant imbecile continues on his crusade of self-preservation. At what cost? I'd say most of everything that I, as an American, hold dear. Rule of law, institutions, civil rights. The list goes on ad infinitum.

And the republican party is destroying all of it. I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around what has happened to this country in the last year. On account of this guy? How far we have fallen.

I'm not sure if our country will survive the next three years.

Those exiles were pissed about the ICE roundups of their own. Now they're in Miami streets with U.S. flags.Plus they're used to strong man rule and KRASNOV fits their version of "strong".

This is business as usual. The USA is "an oil company with an army".
