    Do you think the billionaires and power-corrupt went cold turkey with their vices when Epstein was arrested? I don’t either. Someone else has stepped up to fill those shoes. Who? Can they be brought down too? While the evidence around the dead guy is fascinating and should be brought to light, we should also be spending energy catching his replacement.

      Family separations during the first term provided cover for a harvest.

      the ACLU’s later public estimates rose to about 2,000 separated children by March 2024—illustrating both initial scale and continuing gaps in reunification

      Who’s running the ring behind the scenes is what we need to know.

    He’s been saying this for over a year now. Hardcore Q-Anons have turned away, and increasingly more “normal” MAGAs, too. Marjorie “Traiter brown” (his words, not mine).

    I wish I could still get upset about it, but nothing this admin says makes sense anymore. All that counts is intimidation, raw power. There is no more accountability, not even trying to create an agreeable image, however false it is.

    I just hope this hubris will be its downfall rather sooner than later.

    I think it’s time for the country to get on to something else

    And I think billionaires shouldn’t get to shove their dicks down children’s throats, but we don’t always get what we want, Cheeto…

    “Thirty Seven.” awkward pause, “Wait. which body count were we talking about? the sex one, or the literal one? Oh. uh. forget what i just said. I’m still a virgin.”

    Here is what i don’t get. He’s the president, he works for the people (strange concept i know). So when he says shit like i don’t have time and i’m busy and whatever, why is no one asking: okay, what are you up to? What did you do today? It looks like you have time to read or pay someone to read it to you later. Why don’t you read it now, we have time. We know you can’t read.

    I don’t know how the elections are going to go, but I hope that Donald Trump eats fucking crow for the rest of his miserable life. He is a narcissist and the only thing that will affect his life is him being told to eat shit. Over and over.

      lol, I have a friend in their 60s. They’ve never married; long term relationships up to 3 years. They’ve had partners who get upset about body count. I mean - for real? You thought they were a virgin at 60?
