Worth repeating this with every new Epstein document drop. The party of Denny Hastert is the party of Jim Jordan is the party of Matt Gaetz is the party of Donald Trump. Looking the other way and protecting child predators from the law is their brand.

Speaking as a former Californian with continuing deep ties to the state: Go ahead and be Florida's problem, you greedy fascist fuckwaddles
Billionaires are considering cutting or reducing their ties to California by the end of the year because of a proposed ballot measure that could tax the state’s wealthiest residents.
A Wealth Tax Floated in California Has Billionaires Thinking of Leaving
It’s uncertain whether the proposal will reach the statewide ballot in November, but some billionaires like Peter Thiel and Larry Page may be unwilling to take the risk.

Fascism. Full on.
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.

Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.

"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.

"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

The essence of Trump's economic measures is a mass transfer of wealth from the middle class and into the pockets of tech billionaires, particularly those who generously supported Trump. Federally privileged AI process are a central part of these maneuvers.

Two major problems with Trump's last Epstein rant: (1) the claim that he "abandoned Epstein before it became fashionable" is demonstrably untrue, and (2) he actually defends Epstein against those who abandoned him. He sure sounds like a conspirator. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Get mad all you want at Pam Bondi for this massive Epstein files coverup she’s carrying out, but she’s only following the orders of Trump. Bondi is just a toady for Trump. This is Trump’s coverup. He’s the one who should be impeached. Again.

Bonta: The Ninth Circuit refused to stay the order. And so, for the first time in six months, we have no National Guard deployed on the streets of California.

Popok: Have they been taken off the streets?

Bonta: They have. It was required as of, I believe, Monday.

The only explanation for why Trump is willing to take such a huge political hit keeping these Epstein files hidden is bcuz he knows what’s in those files about him is really, really, really, really bad. That’s the only explanation for this massive Trump led coverup.
