The first release showed we have a long slog ahead to get to the truth. The documents were cherry-picked, and some were completely redacted, blank sheets. It made a point to include photos of Clinton to get at Democrats. Trump's DOJ is corrupt, and this lowered our already low opinion of it.

It's going to create problems with China because of a deal they made with Venezuela. They invested in the oil industry, and oil used as repayments of the investment. So Trump turns the screws on Maduro, and China does the same to him. Trump is pushing Venezuela into the hands of our adversaries.

Laurel and Hardy would've been a better choice, and probably done a better job.

These Pharma companies aren't doing it for nothing, something to consider when Trump makes announcements. There is always a quid pro quo behind how he operates, favors to be returned at a future date.

The Roberts Court tried to rationalize the unspoken reality, but in the process sent us down the rabbit hole of Presidential perogatives. As said, no such language found in the Constitution, and the Framers, notably Hamilton, made it clear. It immediately became obvious under Trump. They screwed us.

Trump hides among the loopholes, and this is the latest example.

A note from the Outer Realm, as in the Sabrina TV Show.

What did we expect, the DOJ is corrupt, and acting accordingly. It's a shell game as Trump hides among the loopholes, instead of following the Epstein files legislation. The courts need to get involved and let the lawsuits flow soon than later. Now, is the time to push back.

MAGA elected a grifter to lead them, and Trump's milking it for all its worth. Its what you get from the poorly educated and ill informed. MAGA opens their brains and Trump propaganda just flows in. They don't look beyond their own echo chamber for the truth. Karma, now Trump's screwing them, too.
December 20, 2025 at 3:08 PM
This latest nutso stunt, not seen before, Trump broadcasting his unfitness for office. He has deteriorated from a grifter, to acts that raise him up above all. In the President's gallery, he's denigrated past Presidents, lied about them, to be superior. Where is the GOP push back for his insanity?
December 20, 2025 at 3:03 PM
Lee isn't serious, more delusional to get attention. What he's proposing goes against international law of nations. MAGA is going down the rabbit hole, and the tragedy is they're taking international respect for America with it. The nutso strain of American politics, has reached a zenith with Trump.
December 20, 2025 at 1:47 PM
From this incomplete release of the files, courts need to get involved and lawsuits follow. We need an impartial group to review what's coming out of DOJ, and confirm they have followed the law in this regard. If this doesn't happen, the controversy won't go away about what's really in the files.
December 20, 2025 at 1:41 PM
The redactions, so many and so extensive, proof of a lack of transparency in the release. It goes against the intent of the legislation to release the files. Once again, Trump is playing among the loopholes in this act. I hope the court see through what DOJ is doing, and lawsuits proceed quickly.
December 20, 2025 at 1:37 PM
That's obvious by now, but he's calling the shots.
December 20, 2025 at 1:33 PM
This is less about safety, and more an excuse to end immigration. Trump's putting up walls around America as the real goal. Are strength is we are a diverse nation of immigrants, now he'll reserved it for Christian Whites. A policy of bigotry diminishes us. It's racist White Nationalism.
December 20, 2025 at 1:32 PM
To be clear, Trump is behind Speaker Johnson, who's just his puppet. Trump wanted for years to cut ACA, and is in retribution mode this term. His mind, no qualms about going through all Americans to get at ACA, and cripple it. All done to replace it with a private plan, that's a shadow of ACA now.
December 20, 2025 at 1:27 PM
Blanche and Trump pulling a fast one. What they've released so far, deeply redacted, blank pages, no transparency. They are cherry picking documents for blandness, or have Democrats, like Clinton, to discredit him. We'll never get the truth out of this DOJ. It's a shell game, find the ball.
December 20, 2025 at 1:22 PM
Trump is delusional, he's monetizing society by taking their Government programs and converting them into tax cuts for the wealthy. It's clear now, he's after Social Security and ACA to move it over to the private sector. This will make it more costly, and weaken society's safety net in a crisis.
December 20, 2025 at 1:14 PM
The tragedy of Epstein and trump, et al, are those around them that saw what they were doing, and covered it up. They were their enablers, without their silence it couldn't have continued because it was so vile.
December 20, 2025 at 1:10 PM
It has to be a temporary arrangement, people change over time.
December 20, 2025 at 1:07 PM
No President has put himself in the middle of the economy to personally benefit. From issuing pardons to wealthy businessmen, for his gain, to now doing M&A deals for an undisclosed return in quid pro quo, enriching his family businesses. From building ballrooms to this, all for his greater glory.
December 20, 2025 at 1:01 PM
The Trump name is coming off of everything once he's gone. People by then just want to forget his time in office. No President has done such a brazen act of self promotion. He thinks as with the British to designate a monarch's reign, as in ER (Elizabeth Regina) on everything. Hell no!

Morrisey requesting poltical medals. Just a note, other military laugh at our penchant for handing them out. I got one for completing boot camp, the National Defense medal.
December 19, 2025 at 8:00 PM
Trump tags everything in the Government as his or MAGA, it's rebranding. The military $1,776 bonuses mentioned in his talk this week, were already in legislation for their housing adjustment. He instead took credit for it, as another example.

Trump claims credit for military bonus that Congress already approved
The White House’s plans for a “warrior dividend” to reward troops this holiday season are actually housing assistance funds approved this summer.
