More people need to know this:
In Epstein’s 2008 federal deal, prosecutors agreed not to pursue federal charges against Epstein or any unnamed “potential co-conspirators.”
That functioned as protection for people involved before 2008, similar to immunity.

He’s not hiding his medical records because he’s healthy, and he’s not hiding the Epstein files because he’s innocent.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy is a miracle. This man has spent years doing the diplomatic equivalent of somersaults on a tightrope while his country remains under siege. I don't believe in the Great Man Theory, but he's about as close as it gets.

When Putin arrived in the USA in January, Trump rolled out a literal red carpet and then personally met him at the foot of the airplane steps.
When Zelinskyy arrived today, not only did Trump not greet him at the airport, NO US OFFICIAL MET HIM.
And yet Trump wants us to believe he is impartial.

Next year's artists signed contracts to perform at "The Kennedy Center for Performing Arts." Since a venue with that name no longer exists, and one with a very division name many artists would not wish to be associated with does, they should be able to get out of their contracts.

It has been 395 days of continuous demonstrations in Georgia’s capital, Tbilisi. Our citizens demand the resignation of Georgia's mostly illegitimate and pro-Russian government, the release of political prisoners, and the return to a pro-European course.

Yep. We have to shine an even brighter light on the lunacy.
When a leader becomes so weak & unstable, lies need to be amplified even more. Without them his cult of personality weakens. This might be insane but it needs to be understood historically. Fascism is more than ever the main ideological precedent for Trump's lies.
