Ghislaine Maxwell is quietly moved to cushy new Texas prison as she pushes for deal to tell all on Epstein, his associates Ghislaine Maxwell has quietly been moved to a far more favorable Texas prison camp as she hashes a possible deal to divulge secrets about her sex-crimes accomplice Jeffrey Epstein.

So let’s see…the Trump admin is sending innocent people to be tortured in foreign gulags, bringing back in homocidal maniacs, and transferring convicted sex traffickers into minimum security prisons. Do I have that right? nypost.com/2025/08/01/u...

Of course the President who lies as he breathes pressures the Smithsonian to lie about American history. Next, Trump will pressure them to hold an exhibit showing he won the 2020 election. Every @smithsonian.bsky.social employee should’ve refused to make the change and resigned in protest.

First of all: illegal. But if everyone goes along, another major step towards crony capitalism/complete politicization of the economy to consolidate power.

Rasmus Jarlov on Twitter writes: "There is nothing to celebrate. Moving from average tariffs of less than 2% on trade between the USA and Europe to 15% under today’s deal will inevitably lead to inflation. Almost everything will become more expensive in both Europe and the USA, and we will all be worse off. The economic illiteracy in the White House is doing serious damage to the West."

Stylish Skunk replies: "I have a feeling you have 0 idea what you're talking about.

In fact I know you do."

Rasmus Jarlov responds: "Of course. I am former minister of trade in Denmark and you are an anonymous Twitter profile. You probably know a lot more than me. For sure."

How many Americans know that ocean surface water heating has already run away from even the most pessimistic projections? Maybe 15%? All leading newspapers have been conditioned to shy away from spelling out the implications.

Turns out that runaway heating of the Mediterranean was among the first big turning points - and all major climate models missed it. Oil companies spent hundreds of millions to bully scientists into opting for most cautious assumptions. And they β€œwon”!

WASHINGTON (AP) β€” If one theme has emerged in President Donald Trump’s second term, it’s this: He’s leveraged the power of his office for personal gain unlike anyone before in history.

Guy hears "children should not be deliberately starved to death" and responds with a "BUT." Anyone who does this should be immediately driven from society.

Holy shit -- Markwayne Mullin insists later in the interview again that Obama oversaw actually oversaw the sweetheart deal with Epstein, even after Tapper (accurately) fact-checked him. Yikes.

While the studio audience – and many viewers - clearly agreed with the eloquent sentiment, the show’s bosses did not. Now it looks like Colbert may not even make it to the end of the series next year, as, according to journalist Rob Shuter, there have been words had with Colbert, and they have come β€œvery close” to pulling him off-air. After reportedly calling a emergency meeting the morning after Cobert’s show aired, two senior executives reportedly said:

β€œHe's daring us to fire him. And honestly? We’re close to doing it. He’s been warned. What he said was unacceptable. There are real consequences this time.”

Supposedly after pretending it was about money they're just openly talking in meetings about how they'll trash contracts and fire comedians for the absolutely unprescedented act of... making fun of the president on a late night talk show.

Dictator shit.

It's important to remember that by "pawns for the Democrat party" he means "broadcasts anything I don't like."

They hate free speech and they aren't trying to hide it.

Treasury Department files reviewed by Senator Ron Wyden’s staff members show 4,725 wire transfers, adding up to nearly $1.1 billion, associated with just one of Mr. Epstein’s bank accounts. Follow. The. Money.

Obama never flew on Epstein's plane. For any reason.
Epstein was never a guest at Obama's wedding.
Obama never allowed his children to be around Epstein.
Obama never partied with Epstein and pointed at cheerleaders.

Obama was busy, studying the United States Constitution.

CNN: The Wall Street journal is reporting that in May, AG Pam Bondi and her deputy informed the president at a meeting in the white house that his name was in the Epstein files.

First of all, that is not Samantha Power
Second, the false smear that Power illegally profited from her time in government was floated only after she criticized the ending of USAID
Third, Trump is falsely accusing others *of the stuff he is doing*
