Rachel Maddow Highlights Trump Admin’s Latest Litany Of ‘Weirdness And Destruction’
The news host pored over an extensive series of brazen and bizarre decisions by President Donald Trump and members of his administration.
“The FBI has never before had a taxpayer-funded security detail for an FBI official’s girlfriend, but that’s what we’re paying for now. The girlfriend of FBI Director Kash Patel has members of the FBI’s SWAT team protecting her as if they’re private bodyguards."

“.. The United States is now a nation run by public servants who behave no better than internet trolls ..
“.. Trump’s sexist comments are an attack on women’s dignity — and by making them, he strips the presidency of its dignity too.”

It will not go to the 5th Circuit. By law it goes straight to SCOTUS. Ron DeSantis is a moron.

Rep. Greg Murphy: "I do have some concerns because these files are voluminous and just being named does not make you guilty. If Epstein gave you a tip or something if you worked at a door or something, it doesn't make you guilty of a crime."

This is naked corruption on a scale we’ve never seen. I’m sure it’s just a coincidence the majority of it comes from crypto. Private money is antithetical to democracy.

In fact, during his campaign Trump repeatedly promised to release the Epstein files
Kash Patel and Pam Bondi did, too
Which begs the question
Who is he trying to protect
Himself? Probably
His billionaire friends? Certainly possible
Melania? Doubtful
Other GOP politicians? Don’t make me laugh

The Founders were so concerned about bribery that the Constitution forbids it three separate times. Two emoluments clauses ban officials—unambiguously including the president—from accepting things of value, plus bribery is the only named impeachable offense besides treason.
Unprecedentedly corrupt.

I don't know if the Epstein vote is a one-off or not, but I've been thinkin of that very thin, translucent sticker film that comes when you order, say, a new monitor. It's devilishly hard to get the first little bit of the corner to separate but once you do, the entire thing pulls off very easily.

IF AMERICANS DON’T STOP TRUMP AND REPUBLICANS…
Trump will sell every piece of America to Saudi Arabia, as he jails Americans and immigrants.
Trump will raid the Treasury for himself & family, and leave America bankrupt, just like his casino.

That they have lived with this trauma & pain for so long is truly heartbreaking. How anyone can support protecting the perpetrators any longer is hard to believe & a complete disgrace!

Donald Trump continues to enable, support & defend KNOWN child sex traffickers & pedophiles right in front of all of us and the world. The feckless cowards in the #GOP cannot deny this any longer. Their complicity stinks like any seat Donald Trump lifts his bloated rotting carcass from. Andrew Tate
