On a day when the Kennedy family is grappling with an unimaginable personal loss, Donald Trump chose to use his platform to launch petty, vindictive attacks against them. Yet another stunning display of cruelty and utter lack of basic human decency.

Trumpers have a howling void of angry insecurity where a soul should be. Unchecked power tastes like ashes in their mouth because they thought when they got it everyone would be forced to like and admire them even though they’re irredeemable assholes. But people still treat them like assholes.

Pardoned by Trump after convicted of 12 counts of bank fraud and tax evasion. Don’t have to pay back $17.8 million in restitution or serve 12 year sentence. Not Somalis.

“The Kennedy Center is threatening to sue Chuck Redd to enforce the tyrannical precept that we are all, always, everywhere, the king’s performing monkeys. Are our voices our own?”

I stand with Chuck Redd for not allowing these fascists to commandeer his creative output for its own fascist purposes
The regime wants to turn artists into performing monkeys
But freedom of speech includes freedom to not praise the king.

The biggest mistake liberalism made was to watch conservatives worship the constitution and “the founders” like idols for decades and believe they really meant it.

The constitution and the rule of law they hold dear are the versions in their heads where they get to do whatever they are want.

Donald didn't drop Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein dropped Trump.

They had a falling out over real estate. Epstein told Trump he was interested in a property. He showed it to Trump to get his opinion. Trump outbid Epstein for the property. Epstein was furious, and the special friendship was over.

Trump is deploying his DOJ in a defensive stance designed to protect him at all costs, while calling the files a Democratic hoax. But really, he could do the survivors a great service by sharing what he knows. joycevance.substack.com/p/he-looks-l...

Issa Rae has canceled her sold out performance at the Kennedy Center. Pulitzer Prize winner Rhiannon Giddens, Peter Wolf, Low Cut Connie, and the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, D.C., have also canceled. Lin-Manuel Miranda has canceled the entire Kennedy Center run of Hamilton.

This is perfect. The DOJ's embarrassing snafu with disappearing redactions was the fault of Elon Musk. Musk cancelled government subscriptions to Adobe programs that would have made the redactions permanent. What a pack of fools.

Suggestion regarding Trump-Epstein:

Don't focus on finding a smoking gun. There's already so much smoke. Most unconvinced by already-public evidence are cultists who'll deny forever (or like it).

The goals should be truth, justice for victims, and an appalled scandal drumbeat that never goes away.
