Trump’s staggeringly ignorant and juvenile introduction to the document is on White House stationery. It is enough to turn your stomach and make you cry for your country.

Trump makes the racist Great Replacement Theory official U.S. policy
Trump did it with the nation’s official National Security Strategy report that was published late last night on the White House website.

The press covers the Epstein story like its a football game, with one side or the other gaining or losing yardage. But it's not a game. It's a crime.

It looks like Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, Jean Pirro, and Dan Bongino have arrested the guy who bought enough components to put together galvanized pipe, wires, steel wool and kitchen timers and produced two elaborate duds.

This is the way stories about the demise of a cabinet secretary classically begin: The knives are out for Schmucko at the Department of Mistakes Were Made.

Crime pays. That has always been Trump’s motto. Crimes have victims, and the question this country faces every day is, when will enough of Trump’s victims in this county be mad enough to fight back?

Bullets don’t care who they kill or where. Sadness from loss abounds when war is made and even when it ends. It is equally sad that this fact is not remembered by leaders who inflict war on soldiers and civilian victims.

Trump knows Republicans are going to lose the House and might lose the Senate. If that happens, he’s going to face another Bill of Impeachment in the House and trial in the Senate. Trump hasn’t got enough gold leaf to paper over his ego if that happens.

Trump has his nose shoved so far up Putin’s ass, it’s amazing he can see enough to play golf. The question is, why? This week, we got our answer: Trump’s “peace deal” will make him and his family and his gang of American oligarchs much, much more wealthy.

The way you beat a tyrant is standing up to his tyranny. Six members of Congress gave us an example of exactly that on Tuesday. Each of them is under special guard by Capitol Police because of threats to their lives by MAGA followers of Donald Trump.

Comey will walk free one day soon, and he will be able to sit back and watch Donald Trump try to lie his way out of a whole bunch of evidence that shows his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein is the one corrupt thing he won’t get away with.
