If we determine that Donald Trump's involvement in sex trafficking was part of an official act as a future president, then the Constitution demands that he face no consequences.

MUST READ: White House "emergency" Epstein meetings held in secret facility Why is the President's team using the most secure room on Earth to talk about a pedophile?

NEWS: White House held Epstein crisis meetings in the building’s most secure facility — the Situation Room.

Trump says there’s “nothing to hide.”

But I’ll tell you from experience… the only reason you hold SitRoom meetings IS when there’s something to hide.

Todd Blanche would have had these emails before interviewing Maxwell. Why didn’t he question her directly about her exchanges? Why did he not follow up when she said things that were onviously a lie?? This shows that was a performance intended to dupe the public and benefit her (and Trump)

Jeffrey Epstein claimed he gave Russians insight into Trump Newly released emails show the late convicted sex offender’s extensive network of foreign contacts, whom he corresponded with about Trump’s policy decisions.

In case you'd been wondering why Trump rolls over for Putin at every turn:

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

This isn’t even the stuff they’re trying to actually stop from getting out.

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

She believes in the sanctity of traditional Christian marriage.

No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power. Remember Musk got involved in the 2024 election after saying to Tucker “if she wins” I am definitely going to prison.

So we need to move knowing that nothing is off the table for them.

100% agree. Small, crowded, sweaty rec center in front of the home town crowd. Only embarrassed to say I lived in DC then and wasn’t there for this. 🤦‍♂️

this is actually impressive, making up a brand new nobel peace prize replacement is a genuine innovation in bribery

absolutely nobody does corruption like FIFA

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Dayanne Figueroa was on her way to get coffee before heading to work when she encountered a chaotic scene in West Town: heavily armed, masked federal agents making arrests on a residential street. People yelled as vehicles honked their horn — a sign now used to alert neighbors that immigration federal agents are in the area — and witnesses said federal agents had arrested several landscaper workers presumed to be in the country without authorization. As Figuero tried to drive through the 1600 block of West Hubbard Street on Friday, Oct. 10, an unmarked vehicle driven by federal agents collided with Figueroa’s as it tried to speed away from a hostile crowd, multiple videos reviewed by the Tribune show. Seconds after the crash, agents abruptly stopped their vehicle and exited with weapons in hand pointing at Figueroa, a U.S citizen. Agents then forcibly opened her door and pulled her out of the vehicle by her legs without identifying themselves, presenting a warrant or informing her that she was under arrest. As bystanders yelled, “You hit her! We have it on video!” agents ignored the crowd and forced Figueroa into a red minivan and drove away. Her car was left behind in the middle of the road, her coffee still in the cup holder, and her keys in plain view.

In Chicago, a woman was driving to get coffee when a DHS vehicle fleeing an angry crowd crashed into her car. Armed agents jumped out of the vehicle, yanked her door open, pulled her by the legs out of her car at gunpoint, held her incommunicado for hours, then released her with no charges.

Epstein Shutdown.

NEW:

A dramatic voiceover video the White House and Donald Trump shared last week claiming to show "chaos" in Chicago is littered with outdated footage from Florida, Texas, South Carolina, Nebraska, California and Arizona, an AFP investigation found.

Vance downplays group chat messages: ‘Kids do stupid things, especially young boys.’ The vice president called the texts "edgy, offensive jokes."

last i checked these young republicans were like 25 years old. but this is a classic case of infantilization to diminish the significance of the offense. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

I heard the initial story, but the story is advancing and getting quite interesting!

It's really not about politics anymore. The apparatus of the Republican Party has simply become a haven for bad people.

This weekend, Trump said “the Biden FBI” placed 274 agents in the January 6 insurrectionist mob.

He wrote “If this is so, which it is, a lot of very good people will be owed big apologies.”

But it ISN’T so: TRUMP was still POTUS until January 20. It was the TRUMP FBI.

Oops. Never mind. 👑 😳😵‍💫😎😟

IN HONOR OF FRIENDSHIP MONTH:

djt: "We have certain things in common, Jeffrey."

Epstein: "Yes we do, come to think of it."

djt: "A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday- and may every day be another wonderful secret."

And by "wonderful secret", he means raping children.
