Let's hope @rbreich.bsky.social is right and that the US will finally take a long, hard, look in the mirror.

This sounds like a good idea that will help ordinary people which is why it will never happen in America
The EU plans to implement a digital payment service which will be free of charge and replace the Visa/Mastercard/Paypal/Google/Apple methods which all charge 1-3% for nothing, it will be the standard payment method in the EU.
This the exactly what needs to be happening.

There's something to be said about Trump's MAGA coalition fracturing over its support of pedophilia, anti-semitism, and Russia. Nothing good, of course, but definitely something to be said.

Agreed. Strongly.
ANYONE in Congress, from either party, receiving ANY funding from AIPAC, the Heritage Foundation or any of the oligarchs, should be tossed at the first opportunity.

Agreed. Strongly.
I was just thinking this about the Mafia; what if they weren’t actually concerned about something happening to my nice little business?
starting to wonder whether the heritage foundation people have America’s best interests in mind
I’m considering no longer relying on them for policy suggestions
Just seems like so many new surprising revelations about this institution

If her concern were really about the victims, names in The Epstein Files would be said out loud — on the House floor.

Until the enemy is vanquished.
Then it becomes a whole new ballgame.
At that point it becomes Trust But Verify. At best.

My stance with the “never Trump” right remains: These are the people who fucking built Trump. Years of shit in service of Reagan, Bush, Romney, McCain paved the way for Trump. I don’t trust them. They’re rotten. I trust the people who opposed this shit all along.

"Precursor farts" refers to the idea that certain foods contain the "precursor" or "building block" chemical compounds that gut bacteria break down to produce the gas (flatus) that is eventually expelled as a fart.

Why every vestige of Trump must be torn down
He's trying to create a physical legacy. The moment he's out of power, it has to be smashed to bits.

A trump supporter recently told me the Civil Rights laws were the worst thing to ever happen. This is what the nazi republican party is telling their constituents. The laws that give people of color the same rights, women the same rights, the LGBTQ community the same rights as white men have.

The Epstein Files represent arguably the most extensive cover-up in global history. Such extreme lengths would not be taken unless the implications were profoundly damaging.
