I encourage any "web Detectives" to find the rabbit hole which names names. Surely there was some kind of coverage somewhere. Appears the so-called authorities gave in to pressure from big names for the cover-up.
You guys caught this too, right?
“Donald J. Trump had raped her along with Jeffrey Epstein.” ███████ noted some girl with a funny name “took me into a fancy hotel or building, that’s how it happened.”
Also this: she was advised to call the police. But she replied, “I can’t, they will kill me.”

What the DOJ really needs to do is give total immunity from threats and lawsuits to EVERY victim who wishes to come forth and testify.
Ah yes. A million Epstein documents, released on Christmas Eve. Because accountability pairs best with holiday distractions.

A book by Stephanie Coontz, "The Way We Never Were" recaps the myths self-created by the U.S. about the good old early days of this country.
"Across the Atlantic world, Puritan clergymen and pamphleteers railed against Christmas as another 'popish' and 'pagan' error that true Christians need to do away with." Daniel Gullotta from the archives:

Good posting, but does the DNC have a site on bluesky?
DNC Chair Martin: You've got Trump out there saying affordability is a hoax and you got Vance trying to blame the Democrats. The reality is they own this economy. Unemployment is at a 4 year high. Wages are not growing at all. 70% of Americans believe that Trump and Vance are mishandling the economy

Gritted my teeth and watched Snoreleone's speech on Youtube: Did some fast-forwarding at times. I found no facts for the fact checkers. But did note that Joe Biden sure lives rent free in Snoreleone's head.

WOW! Just realized that either his hair color is leaking onto his face or his makeup is rubbing off on his hair.
At this point, Donald Trump is more likely to have a degenerative disease named after him than a ballroom.

Cancel the Farm bill and all the oil and other subsidies.
Time to get rid of ICE, FBI, CIA, and DEA then.
FOX: The ACA has never been more popular. Republicans are losing on this messaging. How do you talk to Americans who say the Republicans don't have a plan?
REP. BUDDY CARTER: You explain it by explaining it's not working. When the govt has to subsidize a program, that means it's not working

Humor: I was at Trader Joe's and considering a wreath and maybe a couple of poinsettias or whatever since my cat, Gata, is so rambunctious. I asked a clerk if she had any suggestions for some type of cat-proof decorations. She said, "I have 3 cats and the answer is NO." We both laughed.

And the rest of the country (mostly blue states) will pay. And all the billionaires can sigh with relief as they won't be paying for this bailout.

Every day this administration finds a new way to show just how out of touch it is with the reality most Americans are living.
Sean Duffy on slashing fuel economy standards: "This rule will actually allow you to bring back the 1970s station wagon. Maybe a little wood paneling on the side. We can bring back choice to consumers."
