Feel like the people getting corrupt money off this probably scored big off Covid loan corruption too.

It might be easier to believe Trump’s protestations of innocence with Epstein if he didn’t keep lying so obviously about everything else. So you won the 2020 election and you barely knew Jeff? Sure, guy.

Unfortunately for the world, Trump seems to like blood on his hands. Perhaps because it hides the ecchymosis.
Three points:
1️⃣If you can noodle around on timing and there's no urgency, it's a war of choice.
2️⃣Wars of choice require Congressional approval. Read the Constitution.
3️⃣If there's no vote, and ANY troops are injured or killed, the blood is on Trump and GOP hands, 100%.

It is telling for all of Trump’s wild lawsuits he’s never sued Noel Casler, who makes the most specific and disgusting claims about him. Perhaps he only files lawsuits where he knows discovery wouldn’t be ruinous.

I think so much is happening at once Trump looting America like a vulture capitalist isn’t really going to sink in until he’s gone and we’re cataloguing the damage to see what can be saved.

This richest man alive is responsible for the deaths of nearly a million of the poorest people alive. And he's telling us he's just getting started.
The world's richest man is broadcasting eliminationist rhetoric about a tiny, vulnerable minority, and virtually no one is going to treat it as a scandal. It's just normal now.

I really wonder if the 20 and 30 somethings in Trump's White House are even really cognizant of how many of Nixon's men did jail time. I think all Trump cares about is that Nixon himself didn't.
