That’s a really big however

The President of the United States is compromised. It is time for Congress to act. Now!

I am a survivor of sexual assault, both as a child and an adult.

I'm not surprised at ANY of this news. None of it. Perpetrators have always been protected; even though we like to pretend that there are consequences to those actions, the ones who pay the most are the victims.

Of course. No doubt about it.

Marcel Proust: “My dear Madam, I just noticed that I forgot my cane at your house yesterday; please be good enough to give it to the bearer of this letter. P.S. Kindly pardon me for disturbing you; I just found my cane".

FWIW the majority of players liked it, and one gave this quote:

Epstein's sex empire was 'KGB honeytrap' The release of more than three million new documents relating to the late sex offender gives credence to claims made by senior security officials: that Epstein was working on behalf of Moscow.

If true, this could explain a lot: Epstein’s mysterious money; the wire transactions to former Soviet states; Trump’s submissiveness around Putin.

Which level of hell is that?

GOP Rep. Thomas Massie: “How will we know if this bill has been successful? We will know when rich men are being perp walked in handcuffs to the jail. Until then, this is still a coverup.”

Shoot. I wish it was Tom

Jesus

Throw in the speaker and then we can bring on the president pro tem of the senate, 89 year old Chuck Grassley! Grassley 26!

His name is really Wambsganss? I guess the succession is really over after all.

The Boss has spoken!

I’ve got an idea: defund ICE and you’ll have the money. Then we can impeach Trump, remove him from power, and we all go home happy. Talk about a sweetheart deal.

Today I saw ICE gas little white kids in the streets of Portland with chemical weapons. Imagine what they're doing to brown and black kids in the detention camps

It’s starting

Bill Cosby's Longtime Rep 'Blindsided' Over Alleged Quaalude Confession (Excl) Bill Cosby’s longtime rep Andrew Wyatt tells Us Weekly exclusively that he’s ‘disappointed’ to learn the comedian allegedly confessed under oath to drugging women

Note to Trump voters who are secretly feeling regret: this is how a man (or woman) stands up with dignity and admits they’ve been conned:

I think he’s just a dick.

I thought that was leadership in the age of Trump?

Unless you are Native American, I would say

We’re living in an authoritarian kleptocracy. Just wait until climate change really starts to hit. Then we’re sunk.

Lovely

OFTEN THE DYING ASK FOR A MAP So when Locie, embraced by the great softness of bed #12, her late blizzard of silver hair fanning out beneath head and shoulders, asked for one in plaintive, almost desperate tones, I went out to my car and brought back my old, frayed roadmap of Kansas, and she followed the unfolding as if it in itself were a miracle, and then held it over her head, scanning the red interstates and blue country roads without apparent method or intent but smiling her morphined grand smile of awe and wonder within an air of childhood surprise and overwhelming acceptance. Because here it was—the way there, or here, or out or over or in, and here, sweetie, let me hold it for you, let me hold... and her trembling index finger knows no certain path but wanders through the Flint Hills toward Cottonwood Falls, then darts up toward Ossawatomie, and she can smell the new wheat, its dark green deep as the jade of the necklace her husband brought home from the war in the Pacific. And now as she crosses the Kaw River, she sees a young woman standing beneath the moon in a In Kansas, and wondering, what will I be? Who will I marry? Where will we live? Will I have children? And if, at the end, I am lost, how will I find my way home?

I love this B.H. Fairchild poem so much.

I know one thing: I’m not
In the Epstein files, so there is an option other than President Trump, once he’s removed from power. Since, you know, everybody seems to be in the files.

What do you know, Q was right. He just had the wrong villains.

So it turns out Trump has takes both women and at least one girl, in all likelihood? Is that why he really doesn’t want those files released? The risks this guy takes: he rides the Epstein files to power, at least in part, then ignores them once he gets in? Most people don’t operate like that.

Justice Department says it’s releasing 3 million more documents from Epstein files — The Washington Post The Justice Department says it is releasing the latest batch of files related to the federal investigations of convicted sex offenders Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

How’s about they release all of them, unscrubbed?
