So much gold in the Epstein emails, even aside from the worst material.
But Trump has to depend on someone to read excerpts to him, and it's unlikely anyone's going to tell him about comments like this one:

In my reading, Epstein thought Trump being POTUS was a travesty. Of course, it’s just selected messages, but jarring nevertheless.

You would have thought dozens of boxes of highly classified files couldn't be moved from the WH to Mar-a-Lago without anyone noticing either.
Maybe not yet, but if he leaves office alive, that desk is going with him, one way or another. The man takes anything he covets. And he covets that desk.

There's no evidence that Trump moved the Resolute Desk from the Oval Office to Mar-a-Lago. An image circulating online appears to show a replica, not the real desk. www.snopes.com/fact-check/r...
No, Trump did not move the Resolute Desk from Oval Office to Mar-a-Lago
Evidence overwhelmingly indicated that the historic, 1,300-pound desk remained in place.

NAVARRO: We feel your pain. We are literally doing everything we can.

Awesome story, you will not want to miss this clip about Trump's bullshit 🤣😂😂
Trump’s gold bling in the WH reminded me of a clip I posted 5 years ago of Charlie Sheen in the UK telling a story of the time Trump gave him a wedding gift.

Today is Veteran's Day.
I'm so glad we've learned to appreciate the soldiers who served, regardless of whether we approve of the war they served in. The aftermath of Vietnam was shameful – as draftees, the soldiers didn't have any choice of whether to go or not.
Say thank you to a veteran today.

To all those serving, to all who have served: Your duty and sacrifice don't just represent the best of America. You make America possible as the land of the free and the home of the brave, aspiring always to be a light for democracy around the world. Thank you.

Some of the stray dogs living near Chernobyl have recently turned blue. This confused scientists for weeks, until they realized they had simply been rolling around in chemicals from a nearby set of portable toilets. 14/10 for all

Look at their vehicles with full tanks of fuel while most motor pools are rationing what's left.
Look at those ICE planes soaring away while reg travel is cut more & more.
Look at those chubby meal team members yanking up kids while SNAP is stolen away.
