Although many people are saying it, I do not believe our current president sucked off former president Bill Clinton on camera. I have not seen sufficient evidence that our current president gave the former president a blowie in a way that was memorialized in a photo. That's not something I believe.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

“Trump richly deserves whatever reputational harm and possible legal retribution may come to him as a result of his ties to Epstein. But, at its heart, this has always been a scandal about the ruling class as a whole, not one individual or political party.”
Jeffrey Epstein Was a Warlord. We Have to Talk About It.
Mainstream media is ignoring the fact that the late sex trafficker was a power broker who shaped global policy.

America's most notorious child rapist, Jeffrey Epstein, said this man was the worst person he'd ever met. Let that sink in.

The Olivia Nuzzi photo reminded me enough of the Yarvin one that I checked whether they're the same photographer. They're not; it's just apparently house style about how to glamorize terrible people.

Awful: Trump's boat bombings are now being justified by a new legal memo that relies on WH's own determinations as evidence. Memo also says people can't be prosecuted for the killings. But that reveals WH knows there's legal vulnerability here, Ds tell me.

You would think that the 8 GOP Senators who are SO OUTRAGED that Jack Smith subpoenaed their phone records that they want $1 million compensation would bring him in to testify IN A PUBLIC HEARING to explain why he did this. But no, they don’t want to do that. I wonder why?

Is Donald Trump putting his thumb on the scale for Paramount-Skydance CEO David Ellison in this bidding war?
Perhaps because of Paramount's $16 MILLION donation to Trump's Presidential Library?

I think the word he’s looking for is “recessionary”.
Fed Governor Stephen Miran: "Cutting down net migration to 0, potentially even negative because of the deportations that have been occurring, I think is very deflationary."

A word about the ill desire to blame trans people or "the groups," which is wanker for trans people, for the losses in 2024.
It's a perfectly cynical excuse.
It allows you to completely elide the structural crises Dems face while bullying vulnerable people since that seems to be the kink.
