"... in the Situation Room"?
They brought Boebert to the highly secure Situation Room to strong-arm and intimidate her into NOT releasing files that presumably link the President to a pedophile ring???
Why the Situation Room and not, say, the Oval Office?

How is it a "hoax"?
There are photos.
There are interviews with Trump in which he calls Epstein a "great guy."
There are witnesses, incl. the sex trafficking victims themselves.
There are financial records.
There was so much evidence, Trump's DOJ in his 1st term arrested Epstein.

"Science as practiced in its best form is that if you disagree with it," you develop a competing theory, experiment to support your thesis, and you demonstrate why your theory is stronger.
You don't just "criticize and argue," JD. You demonstrate why your theory is better.
Sheesh.

"I did talk in detail to Starr yesterday re indictments"
Who's "Starr"? It couldn't be the infamous Ken Starr, could it? (Starr was still alive in 2018.)
How/Why would Jeffrey Epstein have access to Ken Starr?

Can someone please inform the Press Secretary that there are actual LAWS that prevent the President from using funds allocated by Congress for whatever he wants?
Oh, right. She doesn't care.

If your self-declared "Secretary of War" spends more time dissecting the grooming habits of those who serve versus discussing the geopolitical impact of extrajudicial killings he's carrying out near South American countries, you know he's unqualified for the job.

It's not new. It's a redux of the food lines, like those in Texas (below), caused by Trump's mismanagement of the pandemic.
Bottom line: Republicans enjoy watching people suffer.

That reminds me of the ex-girlfriend who told me, "You will NEVER find another woman like me!"

Republicans have "unpersoned" Romney because he lost the election and demonstrated reason, grace and honor in accepting the loss.
He and his policies are no longer part of the GOP, which is now all MAGA.

There's nothing more stark to exemplify Trump's sociopathy.
A man collapses with a medical issue. Instead of showing an iota of concern for the person, Trump is focused on how it impacts HIM and HIS image.
Trump isn't about Americans or even America First. He's all about Trump First and Only.

I'm happy Nancy Mace is openly attaching herself to the political anchor with a minus-18 approval rating who will sink her disgusting political career.
She should look forward to getting a daytime talk show on OAN, which is much better suited for her.

For the last time: "Obamacare" isn't insurance or medical care. It's an exchange where people can buy insurance.

I also want the Whangpeng Zhao files released.
Zhao's the Chinese-born drug and terrorism money launderer who recently got a pardon from Trump--a pardon he doesn't remember signing.
Funny thing: Zhao's also one of the financiers behind the Trump family crytocurrency scam. What a coincidence, huh?

Better headline: "Did women entering the workforce in World War II not just save the nation and democracy, but also led to an unprecedented growth of the American economy over the next five decades."
But that would be too clear for the NY Times.
