The difference between Republicans and Dems?
Republicans demanded the release of the Epstein files when they believed the lie that it was all Dems in them.
Once they learned that Trump is probably all over them they started blaming the victims.

2025 took a toll on the world’s journalists. "Worldwide, the 126 media industry people killed in 2025 by early December matched the number of deaths in all of 2024.... The [CPJ] estimates there are at least 323 journalists imprisoned worldwide." www.courthousenews.com/a-rough-year...
A rough year for journalists in 2025, with a little hope for things to turn around
Worldwide, the 126 media industry people killed in 2025 by early December matched the number of deaths in all of 2024, and last year was a record-setter.

Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.

There seem to be a lot of people under the impression that if Trump is impeached and removed for treason, that the VP and his whole cabinet go with him. That’s not correct. You have to impeach and remove one at a time. Art II Section 4 simply lists all the offices eligible for impeachment.
