Effort to manipulate killing of Alex Pretti collapsed after footage torpedoed ‘domestic terrorist’ claim – could this be a turning point?

Facing a widespread backlash from the public, Democrats and even his own Republican party, Trump was forced into a partial retreat, distancing himself from efforts by aides such as Stephen Miller and Department of Homeland Security secretary, Kristi Noem, to demonise Pretti, and shuffling leadership of immigration operations in Minneapolis.

For once, the president’s reality distortion field – which promised Mexico would pay for his border wall, claimed Covid would disappear “like a miracle”, insisted the 2020 election was stolen, and rewrote the history of the January 6 insurrection – had met its match.

Rupert Murdoch’s New York Post warned: “Mr President, the American people didn’t vote for these scenes, and you can’t continue to order them to not believe their lying eyes.”

    IF the Dems can take our country back, we have to resolve this unprecedented situation in an unprecedented way. Among other things, like declaring MAGA a National Security Threat and prohibiting it from existing, we have to do a deep investigation into the 2024 election, uncover the election fraud that stole the election. Then we can declare the second MAGA administration invalid, and roll back all MAGA legislation, EOs, appointments, and PARDONS. Everyone he pardoned will voluntarily return to prison to serve out their sentences, or 10 years will be added.

    Then Presidential Pardons will be amended to be invalid if they were determined to be a mechanism in breaking the law or covering a crime.

    THEN convict him of his treason, sentence him to life in prison, and confiscate his entire fortune as a fine. Then go after every single one of his henchmen, including his billionaire friends. ESPECIALLY his billionaire friends.
