I quit Twitter over two years ago, and I decided to take the plunge here. My interests include science, history, movies, classic TV, working out at the gym, and even though it's a terrible social climate for it, politics.

I could wrong, but I will make a prediction. This will be the last time Trump shows up at Dover. This footage will be shown over and over again for propaganda. Trump: "I went to Dover for the dead suckers. I don't need to go for any more to come! Just replay this video!"

Thank you. "He's wearing a fucking baseball cap?" was what I kept thinking. A couple of other things I noticed during this transfer of remains was 1) how tired Trump looked when he was first walking into this ceremony and 2) once again, how he is fucking lying about his height. JD Vance is 6'2".

Duh? I don't see how this is news. The vote in MI was analyzed previously, and Arab and Muslim Americans abandoned Harris.

Once you do the bidding of a man who rapes girls and murders fishermen, anything goes.

Besides, they see all Democrats in D.C. like Kash. All those Democrats made their ill-gotten wealth stealing from the taxpayers, according to MAGA cultists. They go off about Nancy Pelosi's "millions" and never mention Trump's billions. It's just hypocrisy and wanting to be as bad as Trump.

The now deceased "Joe the Plumber," who was never a real plumber, is the perfect example of the embarrassed GOP millionaire wannabee. Most will never be real millionaires, but they want nothing to change the current corrupt economic system we live in. Kash is living the dream.

Most MAGA idiots look at this and go, "RIGHT ON!" Being a corrupt Republican is the dream of most of MAGA. The "Embarrassed Millionaires" who make up a good chunk of MAGA - people who see themselves as someday being millionaires - want to be just like Kash.

It’s hard to overstate how much wasted energy and time must be spent confronting Trump and his criminal regime when the world was already facing major global challenges.

Finally, it was brought up in the deposition that Wexner raped Virginia Guiffre. Wexner, of course, denies ever knowing Guiffre or raping anyone.

What is implied by this line of questioning is that a gay relationship between Epstein and Wexner would possibly explain why Wexner gave Epstein power of attorney (POA) over Wexner's finances. Otherwise, Wexner is just some kind of truly mega incompetent dope for giving Epstein that power.

There is also an FBI file on Wexner and Epstein, and Wexner was shown the file. On one page is the statement, "Epstein earned his money having homosexual sex with Wexner." Once again, Wexner just laughed this off and denied it. No, the FBI file was not shown on camera during the deposition.

Wexner was asked at least twice during the deposition if he ever had a sexual relationship with Epstein. Wexner denied that and said he was "super straight." However, Epstein survivors have alleged that Epstein and Wexner were lovers.

I watched most of Wexner's deposition. One thing that was not reported by the legacy media is that the House Oversight Committee has seen the unredacted Epstein case files. Supposedly, and I emphasize this, there are allegations that Les Wexner and Jeffrey Epstein were lovers.

Wexner's move to grant Epstein POA made it possible for Epstein to have 1) a private plan, 2) buy a ranch in New Mexico, and 3) buy Epstein Island. This was the basis for Epstein's sex trafficking ring to happen. Without Wexner, there would be no sex trafficking by Epstein.

The other major news out of this deposition are the blatant lies told by Wexner. Specifically, Wexner claims not to have been a friend of Epstein's, when clearly documents show that Wexner and Epstein were friends. Also, why did Wexner grant Epstein POA over his vast wealth?

Given the multitude of details coming out about Epstein, I had forgotten that Wexner was specifically named by Guiffre as one of her rapists. Besides Epstein, the most prominent named rapist of Guiffre was former Prince Andrew. However, Wexner is great example of the Epstein class.

First up, notice NO REPUBLICAN MEMBER OF THE HOUSE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE BOTHERED TO SHOW UP. Was it too damn difficult to travel to Ohio from D.C.? Next, I haven't viewed the video, but I want to know if anyone asked Wexner about Virginia Guiffre's allegation that Wexner raped her.

Beshear: "If somebody is looking for a Democratic version of Trump, that's not me. My goal is to bring people together, my goal is to heal the country. You can't do that if you're engaged in the same tactics he is. If that's what the American people are looking for, I'm not their guy."

Shit. Thanks for confirming for all of us that you ARE NOT GOING TO FIGHT! We already tried this shit twice. One was Obama. The next was Biden. And we still ended up with Trump.

Prince Andrew's Arrest Across the pond in Britain, justice and accountability is a serious matter

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647.

My guess is that Wexner was a participant in Epstein's crimes. And now he is playing dumb, as all criminals do when caught.

It's the old ENRON defense. When ENRON defrauded everyone, the CEO Ken Lay and the other executives argued that they were just incompetent, not criminal. Basically, "We are too stupid to be criminals! We don't know the law!" This is the same group lauded by the business media as "brilliant."

Stephen A Smith = Howard Schultz of 2020. Who? Oh, the CEO of Starbucks that CNN and the corporate media said could win the presidency. What? He didn't actually bother to enter the presidential race. Oh. Was that because he was corporate "centrist" with NOTHING to offer the voters? YES!

WTF? Racism is what MAGA is all about. It's a feature, not a bug. Republicans made a deal with the Devil with Nixon's Southern Strategy. All the racists in the Democratic Party started to vote and become Republicans. I've seen this with my family and friends.

The Disappointment of Young Trump Voters Americans under 30 swung to the right in 2024, but they’re not getting what they voted for.

"In the focus groups, young people who voted for Trump have said that they believed him during the campaign when he promised to 'build the greatest economy in the history of the world.' Now they say they feel duped and let down."
