Looking back from 30,000 feet, it's obvious that everything the Convicted Felon has said and done has been mainly to avoid going to jail. The President of the United States, vis-à-vis his Oath, our Treasury and his obligations to the People, is a thief, a bigot, a white supremacist and a traitor.
Todd Blanche treated the meeting as an "exercise…to secure…his confirmation. He danced around his wording, repeatedly interrupted us and could not commit to anything that would demonstrate good faith." "…abrasive, condescending, and intentionally noncommittal to survivors." "Gaslighting." Unfit.
I wonder why Mitch McConnell or his staff wouldn't respond to the governor's office. If I'm watching Forensic Files, I'd say something is amiss and should be investigated. Moreover, Republicans writ large have become so contemptible that I can easily see them doing the Weekend with Bernie betrayal.
I very much support the Epstein Files Transparency Act II, being introduced by Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie, that will give legal standing to Epstein Victims to sue the Attorney General for unlawfully withholding/redacting/unredacting in violation of the original law. From Google:
"Older men declare war, but it is youth who must fight and die. And it is youth who must inherit the tribulation, the sorrow, and the triumphs that are the aftermath of war." Herbert Hoover, 1946
Back in the day, the Commerce Secretary could walk onto a stage and relatively few Americans would know who he was. Our current clown, the mendacious Howard Lutnick, is easily recognizable by his overdone security, smug disposition and the stench of a corrupt government official scumbag.
RIP Ted Turner. I, like Ted himself, deeply regretted his selling CNN, which at the time was reporting at a level equal to legends like Edward R. Murrow. It's sad to have to remember that today, as CNN and its pending sale to the radical right is bastardized and inequitable by agreement w/Trump.
Hegseth is doing quite a job playing Pam Bondi today. Every question to him is a gotcha question. It seems he has very a serious sense of defensiveness and maybe guilt. "Secretary of Defense" would be much more appropriate. Arrogance and scary, serious ineptitude are all I get from him.
Listening to Fed guy, Randy Kroszner, who thinks that the question, "Did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election?", is dragging the Fed into politics. I say ANYONE nominated or appointed by Trump should be asked that very question. He also thinks Warsh's $100MM assets are no one's business. Yeah, sure.
I can't help thinking about the very, very sick man who today said "It all started with Greenland." That's why he attacked Iran, apparently, because he couldn't get Greenland. I'm not sure what age that level of thought processing puts him at with the experts, but I'm sticking with 13. Malignant.
Evidently even this is not enough to rid us of the Trump 2025 conspiracy, which has exposed the fact that the "laws" we all thought existed are in fact traditions that depend on our reps' integrity. Traitors do not have integrity—and the *People* have no legal recourse but voting every 4 years.
Good riddance to the monster and her hatred for America. "…a moment of transcendent and blinding moral disgrace." —[Steve Schmidt]
Meanwhile, Pam Bondi is getting away with multiple crimes at DOJ, particularly with respect to the Jeffrey Epstein files!
MAGA's John Cornyn says it's unacceptable to fund TSA separate from DHS as a whole. Can't help but note that Congress has in recent decades become much less about the People and much more about the careers and agendas of Congress members. Remember "Don't bite the hand that feeds you"? Basta!
Fascist Donald Trump doesn't believe presidents or prime ministers should have to consult with their advisors before making monumental decisions affecting their citizens. He's such a smart tough guy; he doesn't need to consult anybody. Why should the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom have to?
Brendan Carr is a lying MAGA fascist and should resign. The FCC has just about zero authority to carry out his threats to networks; and any networks that cede to his attempted censorship and his attacks on the First Amendment deserves to go down.
I started this some years ago when I was searching for "peacetime" in America during my life. Just updated, but may have missed something. For what it's worth.
The master of distraction and subterfuge is riding high right now. Current Congress is impotent. Free press, being decimated by treasonous corporate owners, is abandoning its Charge for *Access*. Roberts Court complicit in the carnage. DOJ, DHS et al run by Moles. The People/Voters can piss off.
