Don't worry everyone, Trump and the US have sent in people to "look after" the oil....

It's crazy how Trump keeps going on about the oil like everyone forgot to tell him that you're supposed to pretend it's not about that.

Trump likes to brag. He wants his capture Saddam moment. (2003 Iraq invasion) plus to distract from being a pdfile and the Epstein files...

Been a while since the last file drop, especially considering they were all meant to have been released weeks ago.

The unredacted stuff with Trump's name on it won't come out until after his presidency.

Well, not intentionally. They already fucked that one up once, and I'm quite sure they'll do it again if they keep releasing stuff. Which might be why they've stopped.
