Why is this a surprise to anyone who has seen the photos of Trump with Epstein and knew that they were buds for decades? What were the MAGAs and thinking?

I love the ideas of Democrat House Representative Landsman who has outlined 10 points to go for to fight for the people. Thank you Lisa and David

So If I have this right, Trump's base is 'ok' with rape when it comes to women but horrified when it's done to girls? Raping women is ok, but not children? Is that there red line?

Maybe some the trump should experience a rape in the behind to help him understand the concept of rape from the recipients' point of view.

The immunity decision is beyond not making sense. It's not just Trump but the Roberts gang abusing their power. Read Federalist 69, Paragraph 4, especially the last sentence. The court clearly amended the Constitution with something, immunity of the president, that was intentionally left out. Amending the Constitution is an abuse of power by these judges, clearly grounds for impeachment. There's no way to pass this off as an interpretation.

I getting annoyed by so many commentators understating this act as simple bad judgement. It's not judgement, It's unadulterated bovine excrement, a bald faced lie and an insult to the will of the people by co-conspirators in a coup against the Constitution.

The End Around: More Bad News for the Orange Cheeto

Cheeto has evaded public scrutiny over his sordid sexual predatory behavior for years First the Access Hollywood tapes, then the E Jean Carroll rape civil settlement, then the conviction in the Stormy Daniels escapade, but even his MAGA base can’t stomach the perverse pedophilia story hidden in the Epstein files In March the FBI was tasked to see how much Cheeto was mentioned in the files and with so many mentions, Cheeto decided to shut down the release of the files But then with the fallout with his compadre, Musk dropped the bomb that instigated the attention of MAGA about Cheeto’s involvement

On MSNBC last night O’Donnell interviewed Bradley Edwards primary attorney for the Epstein victims Edwards detailed how his clients have never been given due consideration by DOJ in their desire to have the files exposed to the public

Rep Ro Khanna, one of the lead Representatives in the subpoena of the files by the Congressional Oversight Committee, said in a later interview that the committee would like to hear from Edwards representing the Epstein victims Edwards also expressed that there is a lot of discovery information that between his office and the defense attorneys for Epstein a lot of information could be released without even having the DOJ release the files that they have

It appears that the public doesn’t need a distrustworthy DOJ led by the Orange Cheeto Congress can just subpoena the already existing records from the involved attorneys in the Epstein case

Maybe it is time to start asking who ELSE Donald Trump is desperate to protect.

Nah, he only protects himself and no one else.

I'm more interested in WHAT else he's desperate to keep hidden. My spidey sense says it's worse than raping underage girls. What could it be?

Underage boys? Or maybe they were using drugs to enable easier access to the victims.

We are told that all "credible" information from the Epstein files will be released. Right, and all references to Trump will be determined to be " not credible." We are not going to see anything about Trump from this Justice Department.

We WILL hear things about trump from this Justice Department. In fact, we already have. Who are the sources for the WSJ's drip drip drip? There are a THOUSAND FBI agents who have been eyes-on the documents that DON'T EXIST. Kash Patel is a bit... conflicted, maybe to the point of being compromised. Bongino is big mad. Why'd he stay? When he does bail, he will make titanic bank spilling goods in his podcast and elsewhere.

Yup, Main Justice is a prime source for all of this, just not as Donny intends.
