Trump Threatens Federal Takeover of Washington After Member of DOGE Is Assaulted

If only the president cared as much about the 14-year-old girls his privileged pals raped for decades.

“The Law in D.C. must be changed to prosecute these ‘minors’ as adults, and lock them up for a long time, starting at age 14,” Mr. Trump said...

Just a guess, but the sum of the parts will amount to unhinged intentionally provocative distraction, laced with cruelty and narcissism.

Serve your country! Defend your culture!

Just in case it’s not already clear that ICE is a white supremacist thug army, Homeland Security is recruiting with a “defend your culture” slogan.

Feels like Netanyahu, Putin and Maxwell are calling the shots.

It’s not the heat, it’s the stupidity.

Thread.

In all seriousness: Like, *of course.* Did anyone think this would shake out any differently?

If there’s a remake of Charlotte’s Web, Hassett would be the perfect voice for Templeton the rat.

Also: This is the same woman who claimed and has claimed that she had no knowledge of Epstein’s illegal activities or involvement in sex trafficking. Which was proven demonstrably false. But ok, rather than release the files, the DOJ wants to present Maxwell as a witness to Court of Public opinion.

Following the money, as always, is the way to accountability.

JPMorgan Chase, Deutsche Bank all in, alone, paid hundreds of millions of dollars to settle away Epstein victims. Billionaire investor Leon Black paid a $62.5 million settlement with the U.S. Virgin Islands; got immunity from prosecution there related to Epstein's sex trafficking operations.

Why has not a single “client” of Epstein’s pedophile empire been prosecuted? Why have the “Epstein files” not been made public? Sure seems like @wyden.senate.gov is laying out one of the chief reasons. www.finance.senate.gov/ranking-memb... “Follow the Money” Investigation for DOJ

“The mother of the middle-school victim told the Tribune that she was shocked to hear about the new law.”

Trump Still Polling Well With Working-Class American Pedophiles  WASHINGTON—Despite the president’s sagging approval rating overall, a Gallup Poll released Tuesday confirmed that Donald Trump’s support remained overwhelmingly strong among working-class American pedophiles. “Even though his polling numbers among Americans who are not sexually attracted to children have hit a second-term low, the president’s approval rating is still an impressive 80% among child rapists […]

There is only one “people” he cares about. One. When he says “people” he means “me.”

Are the Epstein files up there?

Confederacy of liars led by an adjudicated rapist-defamer-liar-convicted-felon still doing everything they can do to distract, drag their feet to avoid releasing the Epstein files. Even collaborating with Epstein’s pedophile sex-trafficking pal.

Seriously.

What breaks through?

Protecting pedophiles. Protecting 1%er pedophiles … who sexually assaulted and raped girls.

Children.

He’s bought and owned by crypto and doing what crypto kingpins have long wanted — “deplatforming” banks in order to bolster and legitimize crypto and enrich himself. So much corruption.

Seems like the fired BLS statistician was onto something, like, reality.

WSJ:

Unemployed Americans

Every time he huffs & puffs about getting tough with Russia I can’t help but think Trump first made contact with Putin to make sure he knows it’s just a show here at home but that’s all it is — *Just a show, Vlad, you go ahead do whatever the hell you want.*

Every day, there should be headlines across media platforms that read: “President Trump Lies Again.” Thats a top story everyday.

Of all the questions to be reported out, the most challenging to answer is almost always the Why. …

But getting the answer to the Why almost always gets you closer to the truth.

Now That They’re Free, Venezuelan Men Want the World to Know What They Endured in CECOT Venezuelan men deported by the Trump administration say they endured months of physical and mental abuse inside a Salvadoran prison. Though happy to be home, they say the fact that they were released ...

“the…administration knew at least 197 of the men had no criminal convictions in the U.S. Nearly half the men had open immigration cases when they were deported, and at least 166 have tattoos, which experts have told us are not an indicator of gang membership.” www.propublica.org/article/vene...

Which statisticians does he need to fire to make this right?

Trump’s supporters want to be lied to. They need to be lied to. That is the arrangement. They get to be right. No matter what. THAT is the fundamental unspoken promise—above all else— that he must keep. He can be as corrupt, criminal and as cruel as he wants as long as they get to be right.

The “perfect call,” “good people on both sides,” he won 2020, 1.6 was a day of love, he weighs 224 lbs, he barely knew Epstein, E. Jean Carroll was lying and President grab ‘em by the pussy is innocent, the shitty job numbers are wrong. His supporters are invested in his lies, rather than be wrong.
