He was shot becauss he was leaking information about the dozens of times Trump appears in the Epstein Flight logs when he traveled to Epstein Island with his close friend of over a decade, Jeffery Epstein, to rape trafficked minors -- girls and boys.

This is what FoxNews promised us. And now here we are. A nation that cannot even operate a government because the President raped a bunch of kids and, instead of just justifying it to themselves and moving on to outlawing abortion, Republican leaders and Republican voters are paralyzed to act.

FoxNews has broken Republican voters. They have no principles. They have no ideals. They have foreign-owned FoxNews simply triggering them to vote R.

They are useless.

I hope I am proven wrong. It's not good for anyone that the President is nothing but conman fraud who beats his wives, touches his daughter, and rapes kids.

But as that is current reality -- I am doubtful that lists will end up being truthful.
