The Trumpian Predator Class Makes Its Presence Felt Riot shields, voodoo economics. It's just business, cattle prods and the IMF. Trust I can rely on your vote - Radiohead, "Electioneering"

"..sex traffickers, debt inculcators, white supremacists, professional grifters, ICE sadists & worst of all? Creepy, RW billionaires who see us as a resource to exploit at whim, then discard like trash.

Or what MTG calls 'my family tree'โ€

Ghislaine Maxwell told DOJ Trump never did anything concerning around her: Sources During her interview with the DOJ last month, former Jeffrey Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell said nothing that would be harmful to President Trump, sources say.

Bondi says there is no client list.

Public gets angry and demand the release of the #EpsteinFiles

Trump sends DOJ to talk to Maxwell.

Maxwell: "He dindu nuffin'."

Maxwell gets transferred to minimum security prison.

We know exactly what this is.๐Ÿ™„

Amazon Ring Cashes in on Techno-Authoritarianism and Mass Surveillance Ring founder Jamie Siminoff is back at the helm of the surveillance doorbell company, and with him is the surveillance-first-privacy-last approach that made Ring one of the most maligned tech devices....

ICYMI: Amazon still doing Amazon things

The company is not only reintroducing new versions of old features that allow police to access footage from Ring users

Amazon is introducing a new Ring feature that will allow police to request *livestream* access to our home security devices.

People are more likely to say Trumpโ€™s policies have hurt them than helped them - AP-NORC Most consider the president to be at least somewhat effective when it comes to getting things done, but a majority donโ€™t think he understands the problems they face.

He wants us to stop talking about the #EpsteinFiles and focus on how well the country is doing. Deporting undocumented farm workers is hurting farmers. Food prices have gone up.

None of his policies improved my life at all.

How about anyone else?

No, Trump, history does not bend to your will. Scholars won't all kowtow to your loyalty tests. Facts are stubborn things. And the historical exhibits about your disgraces, corruption, and incompetence will be legion. You little putz.

Donald Trump says his name may have been planted in Jeffrey Epstein files The president has faced pressure from his supporters to release the files about Epstein, which they believe will reveal a cover-up.

Mmm-hmm. Now he's admitting he's in the Epstein files.

"Planted" my ass! ๐Ÿ™„

Whatever he did must be pretty damn bad and it's going to come out.

Two teas & some bourbon, please!
