I've read accusations that Donald J. Trump is a pedophile from thousands of people.

Odd, how the notoriously litigious Trump hasn't filed even *one* lawsuit for defamation.

It's almost as if a lawyer told him that truth is an absolute defense in defamation cases . . .

Ah, yes, American Exceptionalism: the Palantir edition.

Adams, Jefferson, Lincoln, Harriet Tubman, Jane Addams, FDR, MLK, etc would all be so proud.

Avoiding all products from co's led by amoral nuts takes work, but Palantir/Thiel/Karp empire is a good place to start.

If the Shoe Fits: Trump and the Florsheim You Can’t Refuse The strangely Soviet odor of the week’s weirdest story.

"Back to Trump: What are we to make of a wannabe autocrat foisting shoes on his underlings in a petty display of dominance disguised as generosity? We can only hope that the American political system will be able to beat back his authoritarian aspirations."

UFC Fighters to Train FBI Agents in ‘Historic Seminar’ This Week: We’ll ‘Be Even Better Prepared to Protect the American People,’ Kash Patel Says UFC fighters will head to Quantico, Va. this week to train FBI agents and students in what FBI director Kash Patel is calling a "historic seminar."

What a joke. FBI agents are not street brawlers. They interview witnesses, uncover documents, analyze intelligence, and testify in court, usually while wearing a suit and tie. Just one more frolic for Kash at taxpayer expense.

This creep reminds me that as a nation, we had to pass laws to keep corp ceos from killing us with air & water pollution, unsafe working conditions, defective products and poisoned food. Their natural instincts are corrupt - psychopaths.

Every Element of Stephen Miller's Immigration Agenda Is Designed for Ethnic Cleansing He is effectively engaging in regime change to demographically purify America

"What is unfolding is not immigration enforcement. It is a state project of ethnic rollback. The purpose is not to administer law but to override it. The aim is not security but purification. The prerogative state is not a bug—it is its essential operating system." open.substack.com/pub/theunpop...

This is the smartest piece I’ve read on the Epstein network’s crimes - and how authorities can still pursue some measure of accountability. Of course, the victims’ lives can never be made whole. But at least some of Epstein’s accomplices could still be brought to justice.
