Here's an explanation of what the Durham annex ACTUALLY shows.

It actually shows that Durham committed precisely the crime he was investigating--getting warrants long after he knew the two prongs of his investigation were false.

Thanks to @thefarce.org for pulling together these instances of Trump's CIA director parroting the Russian idiom he read in an "English" email Russian spies fabricated.

A Look Inside Jeffrey Epstein’s Manhattan Lair

Sort of makes you wonder whether Blanche was a source for this story.

www.nytimes.com/2025/08/05/u...

Seeking to quell the backlash, the Justice Department dispatched a top official to meet with Ghislaine Maxwell, Mr. Epstein’s longtime associate who is serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking. On Friday, Ms. Maxwell was moved to a lower-security facility. That fueled speculation that Mr. Trump might commute her sentence or even pardon her in return for her cooperation.

Here's how NYT explained that TRUMP'S FUCKING DEFENSE ATTORNEY went to meet the sex trafficker who "stole" his spa girls, turning one into a sex slave.

No mention of his name, no mention of his role as defense attorney, no mention that sex traffickers don't go to prison camps.

One thing being missed about this story: Tom Green, who's leading this firm, represented Rick Gates during the Mueller investigation.

This--DOJ's updated brief in CA's lawsuit re Guard and Marine deployments--may be of interest.

You're welcome. Sometimes when I want to see hope I just put it out there myself because it's true. There is always hope as long as we're here.

Thank you, my friend.

Thank you for calling it what it is! They weren’t “tricked”, they knew better, they just made a bad decision!

Now they saying the current situation is actually her fault because she lost the election.

Yeah every article I see now is trash. It's unbelievable.

It was super weird.

Blech.

I may repost this daily. Seriously. I'm so very tired of asshole who didn't vote for Kamala Harris or only voted begrudgingly bitching all the way about reasons why no one should vote for her. I'm just fucking sick of y'all's shit. Done

How Trump Caved And Went Home With 'Nothing' In Talks With Schumer The dramatic collapse in talks over the weekend doesn't bode well for the tougher job lawmakers are facing of funding the government next month.

So...Chuck Schumer is just bowing down to Trump and giving him everything he wants, right? 🙄 www.huffpost.com/entry/donald...

Wishing a happy birthday to our Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries!

Yeah it's weird. It's very very weird.

Yeah I noticed that too. That was a weird diatribe that he went on one day that was really abnormal because before that he was fine. I think that was his male loneliness thread that he went on. It was bizarre.

Fighting trump is literally the only thing he's good at.

When he's fighting trump he makes a lot of good points and he does well. But every time he opens his mouth to do literally anything else it's a disaster.

I remember this weird ass creepy Twitter page. They appear to be a weird ass creepy organization but then the person commenting back acts like a weird ass creepy incel teenager and blocks everyone. Can't believe they're still pushing their horseshit on there.

He's not good at it. And he's very very very centrist so that would be funny as hell if those people accepted him like that lol.

It won't work. His thoughts when he gets them out are weird as hell. He's an odd guy.

Everything is contradictory and stupid.

netanyahu was at a republican retreat and they said it wasn't worth protesting against him. Huh? And republicans had the power of the purse also mind you. And had a shitfit and threatened to impeach Biden when he delayed some weapons. Accused him of doing what trump did. Everything is so stupid.
