In the 2025 memo, federal officials wrote that the woman had said that Epstein introduced her to Trump, and that Trump had assaulted her in a violent and lurid encounter. The alleged incident would have occurred when she was 13 to 15 years old.

What Trump left behind in Latin America was Maduroism minus Nicolas Maduro. Does anyone believe that it would be different in Iran? Does anyone think Trump gives two shits about protesters? Does anyone not think this egotistical scheme isn’t about greed and glory?

When you belong to a CULT, there is no consistency. You bend at the knee, and bend your will, to the irrational whims of Dear Leader.
MAGA is an unAmerican cult. Does any sane person doubt this?

It’s time the European Union kicks Hungary out. If Viktor Orban wants to shill for Russia, Hungary can live under Putin’s boot. The way forward is to have the EU disband for 1 hour. Then reconstitute as New EU, minus Hungary. EU = Democracy. No autocrats.

This is a perversion of justice at DOJ. This is outrageous and should be torn down, at once. It’s an insult to the men and women who fought and died for this country. This dictator schtick is getting old real fast. It won’t be tolerated by the American people.

Steve Bannon poses as someone more Catholic than the Pope. But he’s a dirtbag.

It’s satisfying to watch @SenMcConnell get karma for his destruction of America. Unfortunately, his bastardization of democracy spawned Frankenstein Monsters in Kentucky more radical than he is. That’s your putrid legacy, Mitch. We hope you’re proud.
