I have a Canadian friend who I play an online game with for 7 years. He became withdrawn lately. Then today, he exploded with this telling us Americans to fuck ourselves:
Hey gang..[GameName] here.. I haven't been around much in the last 3 weeks.. i find myself just angry and bitter.

“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.”
In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.

I don't believe Donald Trump was involved in Epstein's sex trafficking ring... I believe Epstein was involved in Donald Trumps sex trafficking ring. Trump plays second fiddle to no one. Epstein didn't buy the Miss Teen USA pageant, Trump did. Do you actually think it was for the investment?

Congress should not let up on contempt for Bondi.

Except this time when she starts with her CRAP, they must be prepared to have the Sgt. At Arms, put her in cuffs.

Jesus was NOT WHITE. Sorry, MAGA.
He was a Middle Eastern Jewish man living under Roman occupation — not a white, European, or Western Christian figure. Christianity did not exist during his lifetime, and the pale “white Jesus” image comes from medieval European art, not history.

Imagine watching Sinatra, son of Dolly & Antonini born in Genoa & Sicily, respectively, and Martin, son of Gaetano & Angela, born in Montesilvano, Italy & Ohio respectively, (Angela to parents born in Monasterolo, Italy), and crusading against the value of children of immigrants to the U.S.

A few reminders about the SCOTUS immunity decision for Presidents:
It does not provide immunity for prior crimes.
It does not provide immunity to the President's cabinet.
Similar to Roe v. Wade, it can be overturned in the future.

So they've apparently had 1000 agents working through the 300GB of Epstein files, and they've managed to release under 1% of them, and those wholly or heavily redacted.
Trump must feature in them an awful lot for the task to be so onerous.

🚨 The DOJ appears to have redacted Donald Trump’s name from the allegations made in this exhibit in the Epstein files.
Trump’s name was in the original release. Now, it’s blacked out.
