Also, we are literally arresting judges who are upholding the rule of law now. Milwaukee county judge Hannah Dugan was arrested by the FBI for allegedly “interfering” with an ICE arrest.

  • Fake Margaritas & Gang Cover-Ups: El Salvador's Bukele Worse Than We Thought *FRANTASTIC FRIDAY*

    Fake Margaritas & Gang Cover-Ups: El Salvador's Bukele Worse Than We Thought *FRANTASTIC FRIDAY*
    Apr 19 2025
    Kilmar Abrego Garcia is alive. Thanks to the efforts of Senator Chris Van Hollen and public pressure, the Senator was able to meet with Garcia in El Salvador. While there is hope for his release and return to the U.S., there is still more work to be done for him, and the hundreds of others illegally sent to CECOT. But some Democrats think Garcia’s detention is just a distraction. In another push to the right, governor Gavin Newsom said this is a “80-20” issue, and that Democrats should focus on tariffs instead. Apparently Gav hasn’t been watching the town halls in red states like Iowa, where even Republicans are pissed about Garcia! *** Get 30% off your entire order for Sunset Lake CBD’s 420 sale with coupon code 420 at checkout: www.sunsetlakecbd.com Try Factor Meals today.
