The NY Times interviewed over 30 of Epstein’s former employees, victims, & associates. The result is one of the most revealing looks into Trump’s sex crimes and friendship with Epstein seen in years.
We’ve condensed the massive story into a TIMELINE of some sex crimes related to Trump . . .

New claims of Trump pursuing underage girls
Drugging women, Epstein sex parties, and pressuring minors to drink? The Epstein Files are heavily redacted, but this incredible reporting from yesterday isn't.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Hate to say it, but you should no longer trust anything from CBS News. I'm sure there are great reporters there trying to do honest work, but how can we know anymore? If they're willing to kill a Trump-critical 60 Minutes segment at the order of Bari Weiss, it's been over.

Rand Paul: "All these designations are steps towards war -- calling drug runners terrorists, saying, 'Oh, if they have a designation'-- Well, how'd they get it? We gave it to them. Why is the former president of Honduras released? So some narcoterrorists are okay & others we're going to blow up"

“The Bureau of Prisons is not only responsible for putting people in jail and making sure they stay in jail.”
This is why Todd Blanche had Ghislaine Maxwell transferred to a lower-security facility, where she is allowed to leave.

Trump has begun lifting American sanctions on companies that sell weapons to the Russian military. The Russians have finally offered enough money to the Trump family and Trump is 100% on Russia's side now.

Have you ever heard someone go off, and their words are so perfectly chosen, so well said in that moment, that you’re in awe? You think, “There’s nothing to add here,” and you applaud in your head.

Garcia: If you are a whistleblower at the FBI, at the DOJ, if you worked hard to put the files together and are seeing your work now being hidden by your own DOJ, contact the oversight committee. We have whistleblower protections.

President Clinton is right. This is not getting as much attnetion as it should. The USA under Trumpstein is betraying this promise, which means any agreement involving Russia and the USA is not worth the paper it’s written on 🤷♂️ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapes...
