If the regime falls, the bubble likely goes with it.

The Atlantic suggesting, without evidence, that Canada's Global TV broadcasting the '60 Minutes' segment on CECOT that CBS distributed to it may have been an act of "treachery."

DOJ: Nothing suggests Donald Trump is a sexual predator.
ME (thinking): How could an adjudicated rapist, accused of sexual assault by dozens of women, who paid hush money to a porn star, who cheated on all his wives, and comes up 100s of times in The Epstein Files, possibly be a sexual predator?

America needs an Attorney General who:
1) will read a law,
2) understand what she is reading, and
3) comply with it.
That doesn't seem like too much to ask, does it?

I’ve heard most journalists and politicians say that Trump hasn’t been directly accused of wrongdoing or implicated in the Epstein Files.
But, there are repeated instances of Trump being directly named as a perpetrator—by victims and by Epstein. It’s not circumstantial, it’s direct.

“Grace periods” for late-arriving mail ballots were not controversial until very recently. (Kansas lawmakers voted *163-1* for a grace period in 2017!)
But Trump wants them banned, so red states have lately rushed to help him. Ohio just joined the list:
