My biggest takeaway from today’s SCOTUS ruling is that Donald Trump was mentioned over one million times in the Epstein files, yet somehow no one is holding him accountable.

For those who may need the proverbial picture painted for them.

Under the motto: "Faithful to the Fuehrer".

--Right 2026, a banner for Donald Trump hangs on the DOJ.
Under the motto: "Make America Safe Again".

I just wanna let everyone know that the reason that the DOJ under Biden didn’t always do what we wanted was because it wasn’t an arm of the White House. It is supposed to be an independent entity. I hope the next time that it is, you remember today, when Trump put his face on the building.

Al Capone was not jailed for being a mobster. He was jailed for tax evasion.

Donald Trump has done that his entire life. When Fred Trump died, Donald devalued the family assets to avoid taxes. His sister lost her job as a federal judge over that fraud.

If only we still had a functional DOJ.

The White House press did not ask a single question about Epstein at the White House press briefing yesterday and they wont ask today, tomorrow or any other day, So now we need to ask why the press is covering this gross crap up

One of the things that personally drives me crazy in the U.S. is how youth sports/athletic activities went from a part of the public good (municipal leagues and fields! rec centers! public parks!) to a privatized, expensive, highly competitive, highly structured pursuit for wealthy kids’ résumés

Trump says he will decide in next 10 days if US will strike Iran Oil price rises as aircraft carrier and refuelling planes head to region in one of biggest build-ups since 2003 Iraq invasion

At his inaugural Trump Board of Peace meeting, the president announces that he'll decide in next 10 days whether he'll launch war on Iran.

There are 17 European countries, plus the EU Commission, sitting in that room normalising this absurdity.

Is anyone willing to say the emperor has no clothes?

President Trump has withdrawn his support for Sir Keir Starmer's deal to hand
the Chagos Islands over to Mauritius because the UK has not agreed to allow the
use of British bases to attack Iran, The Times understands.

The King of England’s brother, a former prince, has been arrested because of the Epstein files. I imagine his testimony could bring down multiple government leaders as well as powerful CEOs. I wonder what kind of deal he will try & cut - naming names & all that.

This is really an historical arrest.

England just arrested THE KING'S BROTHER for his involvement with Epstein.

Let that sink in over here in the colonies where America's orange king and Epstein bestie walks free.

Today Rep Ted Lieu stated after reviewing Epstein files: "In those files, there are highly disturbing allegations, allegations of Donald Trump raping children and threatening to kill children.” Hours later we see news reports Trump is on verge of bombing Iran. This is 2 + 2 = 4 stuff.

Epstein NM Ranch UNDER INVESTIGATION After DAMNING Evidence REVEALED

New Mexico is pursuing long-overdue answers by investigating Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch through a new subcommittee that was just created by the New Mexico House.

I’ve got the details, including why the state’s AG’s Office stopped investigating Epstein back in 2019.

The Convicted FElon is deeply involved with the Epstein sex ring as more & more information is coming out. This is why he is doing everything to distract from the fact.
It's time for WE THE PEOPLE DEMAND for this REGIME to RESIGN. MANY of the people in the files are in the Regime.

Some stunning takeaways from the Les Wexner Epstein deposition today:
-He claims the DOJ & FBI never contacted him, even though a co-conspirator
-He claims he was not close to Epstein even though Epstein‘s wealth was built on his relationship
-Not a single Republican showed up for the deposition.

Epstein files reveal a data center on Little St. James, the same island visited by powerful figures across finance, politics, and tech including Sergey Brin and his ex wife, who survivors named as people they met on the island. The public deserves to know the purpose of that data center.

As a 20 year resident of Texas, now living in Minnesota... I can ABSOLUTELY confirm this.

Also, it still always makes me laugh that the whole Texas bravado thing "Don't mess with Texas" is an anti-littering campaign. rotfl.

Anybody surprised that ICE is destroying evidence?

“Guards at an ICE detention facility in Texas raided the dorms of immigrant families Tuesday, in order to destroy children’s letters that threatened to shed light on the horrific living conditions.”

As of Wednesday morning, Colbert’s YouTube interview with Talarico had been viewed more than five million times, or roughly double what the comic’s CBS program draws each night. The Texas Democrat also reported that he had raised $2.5 million in campaign donations in the 24 hrs after the interview.

The Colbert Talarico conversation is so silly. This is why Dems lose.

Yes, CBS didn't want to have Talarico on, and white people assume this is because Trump didn't want to be made fun of on TV.

CBS claims it is because they need to provide equal time, and so need to invite Jasmine Crockett.

Colbert: "They know damn well that every word of my script last night was approved by CBS lawyers who, for the record, approved every script that goes on the air."

this piece makes some important points including:

1) The FCC hasn't actually changed the late night equal time rules
2) Enforcement of a violation would be very limited usually requiring equal time for the other candidate(s)

Given all that, why did CBS censor Colbert? To keep Trump happy.
