So many red flags and dodgy dealings happened, not one word from our elected reps and senators.
Stolen in plain sight. Leon even crashed satellites to cover his tracks. In plain view, y’all

The fact that they dumped this last ginormous batch on a Friday as public sentiment is turning sharply against Trump and ICE indicates to me that they released the files, redacting all the wrong people and not redacting victims.

That's how it works. Trump has no. Clue how to lead, govern, or improve America. But he is running a reality show where he just tries to get through one day to the next. They loot, pillage, and steal along to way.

He is convinced it's part of monopolizing the conversation while keeping eyes off the ball.

I think it's more what the collective is clamoring for. The top doesn't care because they are rolling in the dough and thus far untouchable no matter what is being observed.
