A reminder that the Kennedy Center isn’t just a performing arts center, it’s a memorial to President John F. Kennedy and only an evil vindictive vile weak depraved narcissistic pathetic subhuman would spend every waking day trying to deface it and completely destroy it out of spite and jealousy.

DJT is trying to distract you from the Epstein files (they have enough votes to release ALL the documents now), the voluntary war, gas prices, grocery prices and the war crimes by banning the media. He’s having a HUGE tantrum because he’s SCARED!

"Signs of Fascism" originated in my town. (Sequim, WA) I filmed it. I remember getting a call, "hey your video got 5,000 views." By the end of the day it had 60K. Over 100K in a few days from just one platform. Then my DM blew up! Everyone wanted to replicate the signs. Nice to see the signs today.

We should all be disgusted of the White House Press Corp. No one walked out
No one told Trumpy to go fuck himself.
No one said mean things to Trumpy after he chopped down another pillar of American Democracy.
No one asked for proof any of them published 'fake news'.
No one did anything.

Sad.

UK politics funded by billionaires, mega-donations surge as the rich buy power.

£179m donated by wealthy individuals since 2019.

A cap at £100,000 or £500,000 won't do. Only the rich can enter political auctions
