Wonderful. Just fucking wonderful how djt follows through on his campaign promises. /s

If that happens during this admin she'll be pardoned, for sure.

Just wait until after djt loses bigly, then jail them all and throw away the keys.

I found a link and downloaded a pdf of testimony from Ms Giuffre a while back, and can't find the site again. Is there a way to post a pdf file here? If not others can try using the case # info.

More lies from the djt administration. The 97 nominations bit is quite troubling! They just HAD to have the last words on this.

Remember. Karma is a bitch.

In her recent must-read essay, HCR reminds us of the mess (sh*t show?) djt hath wrought upon the American public and the world in general.

We must keep this in mind when hearing their lies.

Don’t fall for it.
They're gonna gaslight so hard on this.

"Epstein and Trump are the real victims! Don't believe survivors! Don't believe women! Anyway, it's not like they were, like, really YOUNG children, right? They were probably close to 18, so what's the big deal?"

So much winning that we'll be tired of it. A bunch of malarkey swallowed up whole by his followers.
Lowering the price of gas, eggs on day 1.
No more foreign wars.
A health plan.
Tariffs on just about everything.

You get where I'm going with this? He's a liar and a cheat, as well as an idiot.
December 17, 2025 at 4:09 PM
This kind of treatment of the "others" must stop immediately! There is only one reason a trump official would imply that this is necessary: to instill fear into people.

Fuck djt all the way to hell and back again.

I keep going back to JoJo. She should be a reporter. You should read her works, IMO.

What the f**k is this about, you ask? Two guesses and the first one doesn't count.

Answer? It rhymes with Epstein smiles.

Thank you, Ms Griswold, for keeping our records safe from illegal requests such as this. Let us hope that the other states follow suit.

Johnson and Thune are trying to (finally) hobble together a plan to replace the ACA. How's that going?

Thune looks like he's trying to shit a peach pit.

And Johnson looks like he's wondering what that aroma is.

More voting rights are being f**ked with in Texas, go figure.

djt and his cronies are doing anything they can to prevent the lawful from voting (Especially if they're Dems), go figure.

Trump's SAVE tool is looking for noncitizen voters. But it's flagging U.S. citizens too
Anthony Nel, of Texas, became a U.S. citizen as a teen. But a flaw in a Trump administration citizenship tool flagged him as a potential noncitizen, which led to his voter registration being canceled.
