It's remarkable how incompetent this administration is. In a way, I'm grateful for it. They step on each other's toes, leak stories, stick both feet in their mouths, and constantly infight. They're led by an ignorant and malignant moron that they're afraid of who keeps worsening.

If there's one thing I've learned about exchanging and consuming information on social media platforms, it's that you can always tell when the GOP grifters are truly panicking.
It's when they keep posting that Dems are panicking.

A recent Fox News poll asked:
Do you think President Trump cares about you?
63% of respondents said "no."
For my part, the goal isn't just to get that number higher. The goal is to get more people to understand that Trump CAN'T care about them.
Not that he WON'T but CAN'T.
It's pathological.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is resigning, effective Jan 5. She says she doesn't want to be a battered wife, doesn't want to go through a hurtful primary led by a man she supported for years. She expects the GOP to lose the midterms.
I used to call her Mad Marge in the other place. Now she seems sane.

Lying sycophant, and future federal inmate Pam Bondi says that the new Epstein investigation was prompted by new information.
It turns out that I am uniquely poised to reveal what that information is: Her boss, who is responsible for most of her net worth, is having a massive panic attack.

Neiter truth nor logic enters into anything Trump says or does. In any other country, the deification of this ignorant and transparently disordered populist nitwit wouldn't get over.

Junior made a video on Rumble where he denied using coke, saying it wasn't his thing. Who's going to tell him that we've heard about his coke use for years? He snorts lines in between snorting lines. Would he take a polygraph, provide a hair sample, or let a doctor examine his septum? I think not.

Scott Bessent, on Fox, said beef prices are high because immigrants from South America bring cattle with them as they come here, and that cattle is infected with disease. Bessent didn't explain - did they smuggle their cattle in luggage?
I find him - and his hypothesis - udderly ridiculous.

Trump has never before used the word "withering," nor does he know what it means.
Which is pretty ironic for a guy with such withering cognition.

All of the times I’ve wondered what Putin had on Trump, and now we find out Jeffrey Epstein was talking to Putin’s ambassador about Trump.
Jeffrey Epstein claimed he gave Russians insight into Trump
Newly released emails show the late convicted sex offender’s extensive network of foreign contacts, whom he corresponded with about Trump’s policy decisions.

I'm not saying MAGA is ok with pedophilia, but I do believe they secrete more dopamine from owning libs than they do seeing pedophiles brought to justice, and I further believe they're highly addicted to dopamine, so let's not be surprised when they act like the addicts they are.

The Epstein cover-up was the biggest moral-turned-political scandal in American history. It is unraveling. Powerful people will try to thwart further unraveling, for promise of power and profit. If they succeed, they will be accomplices to the new biggest political scandal in American history.
