It's not Bad Bunny.🤷‍♀️

Trump isn’t going to the Super Bowl because he is, one year into his term, more unpopular than he’s been since the January 6 insurrection. He knows that when the cameras inevitably found him in his box, he would be mercilessly and loudly booed.

The Hilarious Decline of MAGA’s Brief Cultural Relevance
A year ago, everyone was doing the “Trump dance.” Now the president is too scared to show his face at the Super Bowl, and the right’s “alternative” halftime show features the cringey, washed-up Kid Ro...

The Trumpers see this as a compliment.

The rest of us wonder if we're seeing a future president.

“The reason Trump didn’t apologize for the Obama post is because he is a small, petty, fragile man who cannot take responsibility for his own actions. And the second reason, frankly, is because he is a racist.”

Rozen notes that in April -- the same month as the intercept -- Tulsi withdrew an NSA report on Grenell.

Note: Over on Xitter Laura Rozen wonders if the person is Ric Grenell, which would like up with a bunch of things (including current urgency).
The Guardian has a rough outline of what the Tulsi whistleblower complaint is about: NSA found someone close to Trump in contact with foreign intelligence, and rather than doing something about that, Tulsi brought the report to Susie Wiles.

Trump and Epstein were sex-predator pals for 14 years, per the evidence.

The Epstein Files show Epstein's planned defense for abusing thousands of women and kids was that they were all "prostitutes" he paid.

Know who else has a history of trying to turn sex into *prostitution*?
