Trump would rather burn down the country than release the Epstein Files.

Over 80% of voters want it released.

Release the Epstein Files.

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

🎵Who the hell do you think you foolin'?

I hate the lying king

Who the lying king talking about his diamond ring
Flipping keys killing all his enemies please

This fronting with yours is making it harder for mines
You lying king🎵

Close-up photos have revealed the prepared list of put-downs that Pam Bondi brought to use against senators during her Epstein hearing.

The attorney general chose to lash out rather than answer questions from lawmakers about the late pedophile.

This feels like a repeat of 2020 where we had to put up with weeks and weeks of bad football that got worse every week, humiliation, and think pieces about how the NFL draft should be dissolved (which I'm sure coincidentally went away when the Jets won 2 meaningless games in a row).

This is a key talking points that should be echoed everyday by Democrats and ties directly to the Epstein Files, which is Trump's Achillese Cankle.

Why aren't Republicans swearing Rep Grijalva???

Jen Bendery @jbendery.bsky.social · 15h

Jeffries says Dems "have made clear privately and publicly" to Mike Johnson that Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva (D-Ariz.) must be sworn in.

"Why the delay?" he asks. "Does it have anything to do with Republicans continuing effort to hide the Epstein files from the American people?"

Pritzker: “This is a convicted felon…who is threatening to jail me. This guy is unhinged. He's insecure. He's a wannabe dictator. And there's one thing I really want to say to Donald Trump: If you come for my people, you come through me. So come and get me.”

“Jesus Christ, we’re fucking grabbing moms and dads and sticking ’em in a van for making illegally made fucking tacos to go to alligator Alcatraz,” Burr said of the ICE raids.

Counterpoint: You just did a comedy show for a govt that not only does the same thing, but is allied with ICE's daddy.

He exploited loopholes in the rules until they closed them, videotaped his opponents (including during Superbowl walk throughs) and had Tom Brady. As soon as he couldn't do those things and didn't have Tom he sucked asshole

Bill Belichick won 10 games with Matt Cassell and then made the playoffs with Mac Jones, so I don't think the UNC thing necessarily proves that he was always a fraud, like some folks are saying.

I think it proves he is *currently* a fraud, though.

The British media sounds a lot like the American media. I can think of one common denominator that likely explains the endless propaganda.

I remember that. I also remember a certain right wing troll seeing that same image and thinking it showed Trump was standing up to the Europeans and being defiant.

I won't say who the troll is because i don't know if we're allowed to criticize him again yet or not.

There are many people who criticize and even attack the Israeli government who aren’t criticizing or attacking Jews.

Candace Owens is not one of those people.

When she says “Israel,” she means “Jews.”

The best way to get beyond the "it's just politics" mentality is to avoid framing our current crisis as left vs. right and instead frame it as decency vs. indecency.

And I would let Goebbels-Miller know two things:

2) The immunity that SCOTUS handed down was for Trump. It wasn't for you.

At some point, maybe voters will come to realize how expensive willful ignorance and bigotry is. I'll believe it when I see it though.

When this time period is over, Illinois needs to sue Texas for millions, if not billions. Put it this way: In the year 2100, Texas residents should still see "Chicago invasion lawsuit" as part of their tax bill.
