It’s possible that Trump was aware of Epstein’s blackmail schemes and avoided anything truly criminal (unlikely). But you can be sure that he is protecting his rich donors/friends and probably extorting money from them to keep the files suppressed

Of course he’s saying that whether it’s true or not. Bottom line is that I will contribute to any Dem who primaries the ones who aren’t retiring.

I have contributed directly to 5 of them in the past. I guarantee not a dime in the future. But I will consider contributing to their anticipated primary challengers

Australia has so much solar that it's offering everyone free electricity Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

Same results in Massachusetts, when they instituted a surtax on incomes over $1M, was there almost no outflow, AND they raised considerably more money than estimated

He is still trying for the Nobel Peace Prize by listing ALL the wars he could start, and actually committing only a few wars of aggression.

And less of a pretext to justify the use of force, Bush and Cheney had a marginally plausible argument ( as long as you swallow cooked intelligence) but Trump’s theory of case is even weaker than Putin’s aggression against UKR. ICJ should ready indictments for Trump, Hegseth , and Rubio

Next time a reporter gets this kind of answer from Johnson, the follow-up should be β€œas 2nd in line to the presidency are you worried about how little you know about what is happening β€œ?

I bet little Mikey put his head under the covers when he thought there was a monster in the room. And I am certain there are a lot of monsters in the Epstein files

With any luck they use AI for the structural engineering design and it will collapse like a house of cards- a perfect metaphor for the Trump Presidency

Last time WH was demolished was in 1814 by British troops. Harry Truman had a major renovation from β€˜48-52 but it was an interior renovation

What probable cause for detaining him? He’s a giraffe, so he must be from Africa? ICE is following the SCOTUS ruling allowing them to go after anything that looks different.

Maybe we should DO SOMETHING- like invoke the 25th Amendment or impeach Trump

Speaker Johnson is in bed with the blankets over his head, hoping that the monster under the bed will go away. Surprised, it won’t

Any bets on whether JD abuses his wife? That sounds so much like exactly how abusive spouses talk
