Trump’s “No Tax on Tips” idea is just another scam.

Four facts:

2. Thanks to Judge Cannon, it now seems impossible for a trial to happen before the election.

3. If he’s reelected, he will never face trial.

4. Therefore, Trump must be defeated as a matter of nat’l security

The US government is sponsoring a colonial genocide in broad daylight.Both Democrats and Republicans, Biden and Trump, are staunchly supporting Israel as it massacres Palestinian children with US bombs.If that is not “political violence”, nothing is.

As we process this news about Donald Trump’s assassination attempt in Pennsylvania, remember the shooter didn’t act alone.

He was assisted by 220 Republican House members, 49 Senators, and the NRA who have consistently blocked gun safety.
