It's really not about politics anymore. The apparatus of the Republican Party has simply become a haven for bad people.

So many coverups.

Release the Epstein files.

Release the Homan tapes.

Release the Venezuelan fishing boats evidence.

So sick of it. Broke my heart this year. This week is a good time to let Billy go. Get it over with and move on. He’s not going to change. Such a shame.

Trump hasn’t stood in front of cameras and ranted about a trans shooter in the home state of Tim Walz and then his plans changed and he stayed in DC (which he hates) for a 3-day weekend, but I see no one in the national media asking why.

Hey Mark-

Told one of my chiropractic patients about Cost Plus Drugs last week and your mission after he complained a skin cancer medicine was going to cost him $1700- He found it on your website for under $20- for real.

Best project ever.

Ghislaine Maxwell provided no incriminating information during meetings with deputy AG on high-profile individuals who interacted with Jeffrey Epstein, transcript shows Ghislaine Maxwell said she never witnessed any inappropriate activity by Donald Trump or Bill Clinton, according to a transcript of her meeting last month with the DOJ.

Whatever the truth is, I don't believe this is it. Keep in mind that Ms. Maxwell was charged with perjury and has been alleged to be a profligate liar.

This interview is not worth the paper its printed on.

If my taxes don’t pave my roads or fix my bridges or keep my schools open 5 days a week or pay local teachers a living wage or help keep my hospital open or help my neighbor’s kid eat lunch or fund public television or my healthcare…

Why the f’ck should I pay taxes?

My sense is that the 22 agencies that were combined into the new Department of Homeland Security in 2002 generally functioned better before the combination. Isn't it worth seriously considering whether it's time to do away with DHS and disperse its various functions back to DOJ, Treasury, etc?
