So... where's the money going?

Where's the $10B Trump promised today going to be managed, and by whom? Where does it go? And to whom?

In any other timeline, the United States intel community would look at this as the establishment of an international money laundering cartel.

Are we certain Trump hasn't been bitten by a zombie?

It's not like they'd kill him to feast on his Big Beautiful Brain or anything.

Obama shuts down alien buzz and says there's no evidence they've made contact Former U.S. President Barack Obama has clarified comments he made about alien life on a podcast over the weekend.

If there is "classified information" that proves the United States knows aliens are real, Trump just acknowledged it violating classification.

And Obama never claimed the government had evidence of alien life; he expressed his opinion. apnews.com/article/obam...

Never a word about the victims.

This photo of Andrew Mountbatten after his arrest says it all: the shock and disbelief that he is being held culpable for his behavior is all over his face.

We need to see this look more in the United States.

Had he come to the United States, Trump would've likely given him asylum and refused to extradite.

Noting that AG Pam Bondi hasn't posted on "the other site" since her embarrassing performance before Congress.

She's trying to keep a low profile after her pathetic "Mean Girls" meltdown.

Live Updates: Former Prince Andrew Arrested in Britain Over Epstein Ties

Around the world, men are facing consequences for their dealings with child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

Everywhere, that is, except the United States, where the Republican Party and its leader, Donald Trump, insist we "get over" predatory sexual assault.

This is the interview Donald Trump didnโ€™t want you to see.

Trump is worried weโ€™re about to flip Texas.

The chief of police needed no oneโ€™s permission to have his detectives investigate the claim.

Why didnโ€™t the PBPD investigate? It was his jurisdiction.

Just a note:

"Seventh *known* immigrant dies in ICE custody this year."

I doubt we'll ever get an accounting of those shipped to overseas prisons by ICE.

Epstein files suggest acts that may amount to crimes against humanity, say UN experts Independent experts appointed by human rights council speak of โ€˜graveโ€™ nature regarding scale of atrocities against women and girls

Europe has taken the Trump-Epstein files far more seriously than the US, with the disgusting criminals facing consequences, unlike here in the US where they're protected by the White House and the GOP.

Kevin O'Leary is Canadian.

Has ICE thown him to the ground and checked his immigration status?

Maybe if this rich billionaire was treated like other migrants, he'd feel differently.

Trump holds a grudge.

One question: if Trump told the Palm Beach police chief about Epstein in July 2006, why didn't the Palm Beach Police investigate?

Is the Palm Beach police chief in the Epstein files, too?

Um, you prove your citizenship when you *register* to vote.

Once you're registered, you don't have to (and actually can't) "prove" your citizenship when you're at the polling place.

Steube demonstrates his ignorance of the US election system.

The Dow is under 49,300.

Will Pam Bondi start investigating child sex trafficking now that it's under 50,000?

How many other criminal investigations has Bondi tied to stock prices?

In the last 20 years, the number of people convicted of in-person voter fraud--the thing the SAVE Act is supposed to prevent--could fit on a single municipal bus.

The GOP's problem is not with fraudulent voters. It's with voters in general: the GOP knows voters don't like Republican policies.

It's true: Tillis wants to solidify Trump's legacy as the individual who led the GOP into a morass of grifting, greed and incompetence.

Tillis supported this by failing to vote to impeach Trump twice, as well as ignoring Trump's history of sexual assault.

The GOP condones sexual assault.
