Not the pirate. Contributor to fightthefire.substack.com. Wonders what became of person who did that hairdo for Trump's mom. Didn't pick Trump being brought down by a dead white guy. Aspires to ask "WTF did you just say?" at a WH press conference.

"I’m talking instead about what and when the future president of the United States knew about Epstein’s pedophilia when they were friends. This strikes me as nearly as important as determining whether Trump had sex with underage girls – children – procured by Epstein."

Donald Drumpf hates this name change Maybe the NFL's Commanders should become the Washington Epsteins?

"In his desperation to distract us all from the Epstein files, our stable genius is trotting out every lame idea he and his bumbling advisers can come up with, including threatening to block a new stadium deal for Washington’s NFL team unless it reverts to its old name, the Redskins."

Finally, a few probably intemperate words for those who comment without reading. That's lazy and arrogant and, well, Trumpy. Go away. You contribute nothing to the effort to get rid of the man. (4)

AI-generated image shows Trump on Epstein's jet with underage girls Actor Mark Ruffallo apologized for sharing the fake photo in January 2024.

One of many false photos and memes circulating. Trump is disgusting, and I want him out of the White House. But spreading this BS is as useful as QAnon prattling on about Democrats trafficking kids from the basement of a pizza parlor in DC that doesn't even have basement.
Just stop.

Interview with Michael Wolff, who's written extensively about the Trump-Epstein friendship. There's much more in this interview than the headline would indicate.

If you're here, you probably want to get rid of Trump as much as I do. But please do not share photos or text alleging he committed crimes without looking up the claim on Snopes or another fact-checking site. Spreading falsehoods doesn't help the cause -- it hurts it.

Update: Judges just keep getting in Trump's way Another constitutional showdown is building over his appointment of an unqualified attorney as federal prosecutor

Pam Bondi is once again thumbing her brown nose at the judiciary - this time over Trump's disastrous choice of one of his personal attorneys to lead the U.S. Attorney's Office in New Jersey.
