I gotta say I was dubious about the Epstein Ballroom Trump’s building but the drawings I’ve seen of the Epstein Ballroom make the Epstein Ballroom look not as off the rails hideous as I thought the Epstein Ballroom would look.

SNL should run a normal show, with the slight addition that every sketch has three or four men dressed up like ICE agents and FCC officials standing in the background looking menacing.

Maybe they disappear Colin Jost in the middle of Weekend Update too.

Not looking good for Trump. Fox WH Correspondent Jacqui Heinrich:

β€œThe way that it felt in the room was not good. It did not seem like things went well. And it seemed like Putin came in and steamrolled, got right into what he wanted to say and got his photo next to the president and then left.”

Oh, Come On! New explanations from Trump don’t add up, plus a CBS investigation the Epstein cell block video raises serious questions.

Really interesting read around #Trump and #Epstein fallout - over real estate, not underage girls being 'stolen'.

This is insane. Basically selling off Canadian digital rights to the US surveillance state. #Canada #BoycottUS

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
