Trump called Rep. Max Miller “a very good person.” If I were the gambling type, based on that alone I’d be quadrupling down on Miller being guilty as hell for domestic abuse.

I wonder what kind of heavy-duty tape the GOP is using to hold together the stock market—it’s certainly a high performing product. I wish they’d also use it to tape Trump’s mouth shut. Wouldn’t that be nice?

I still can’t believe we’re at the point where a LAWYER can perjure himself UNDER OATH during his own confirmation hearing for US ATTORNEY GENERAL and at least half of Congress doesn’t find that disqualifying.

Here in the US we’ve gotten to the point where the phrase “even weirder” is basically devoid of meaning. We’ve been head deep in the weird times infinity stage for quite awhile now.

While the legacy media (except NBC) keeps normalizing Trump’s obvious physical/mental deterioration as he slurs nonsense about himself while obviously wearing a diaper on the world stage, please don’t forget that we have concentration camps in the US.

I suspect that one of the biggest cover-ups of this time, apart from the Epstein files, will be the cover-up of Mitch McConnell’s death (either full death or brain death. I have no inside knowledge; this is just a feeling).

Melania’s PR person claimed she made the announcement that she wasn’t associated with Epstein so she could be a hero for the victims. Yet she hasn’t divorced her adjudicated rapist husband who’s all over the Epstein files. Do they really think we’re going to believe that?

Apparently Trump never had to start a war to distract from the Epstein Files. All he had to do was waste tens of millions of our taxpayer money on building an algae-infested reflecting pool. The media can’t stop covering it.

I’m posting this on Monday night at 6:30pm PST. Why isn’t the GOP Congress doing everything possible to aggressively stop Trump? Are they too busy vacationing? Are they willing to let 100s of our troops—-plus Iranian civilians—die for no reason at all? Pray for our troops & the Iranian people!

We all know how enthusiastic Trump is about the size of the crowds he attracts. I have a feeling, however, that he won’t be too happy about the “strong” crowd size he draws this Saturday for No Kings Day.

Whenever the “most transparent president in history” takes a particular action and we’re left to speculate on the various reasons he might have done it, if I were a gambler I’d always bet on the worst possible reason I could think of. Whoever said Trump is unpredictable?

I still find it hard to fathom that Trump--the current President of the United States who is ALL OVER the files and preventing their release to protect himself and other rich pedophile/rapists--appears to have received zero consequences. It’s humiliating to be an American now.

Shouldn’t there be a media source that releases the latest news on Epstein without showing a picture of his face every time a new article comes out? I mean isn’t that just a tad triggering for the victims and their families?

ICE agents eat at small-town Mexican restaurant — then arrest workers
Federal agents detained three workers from a family-owned Mexican restaurant in Willmar yesterday, hours after four agents ate lunch there.

It was not immediately clear what the immigration status of those detained was, or whether the people detained included the restaurant’s owners or only workers.

An eyewitness who declined to give a name for fear of retribution, told the Minnesota Star Tribune that four ICE agents sat in a booth for a meal at El Tapatio a little before 3 p.m. Staff at the restaurant were frightened, said the eyewitness, who shared pictures from the restaurant as well as video of the arrest.

The arrest happened around 8:30 p.m. near a Lutheran church and Willmar Middle School as agents followed the workers after they closed up for the night. A handful of bystanders blew whistles and shouted at agents as they detained the people. “Would your mama be proud of you right now?” one of the bystanders asked.

At this point, the partisanship in the US is about morality rather than political beliefs. The Democrats lean toward morality, the GOP has abandoned it. Both parties, however, are too tied to corporate interests to lead with pure moral integrity. When are we ever going to limit campaign funding?

As a female I find it absolutely beyond comprehension that another female is actively denying justice for roughly 1,200 traumatized female victims of a notorious pedophile to protect an adjudicated rapist who's almost certainly a pedophile as well. And she calls herself a Christian!
