I must say, I agree with Trump on this statement: "Epstein was a Democrat, and he is the Democrat's problem, not the Republican's problem!" he wrote on social media.
See, when all of this Epstein activity was going on...Donald Trump was a Democrat. It's very much his problem.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

'No evidence' found yet of ties between Charlie Kirk's shooting and left-wing groups, officials say
Three people familiar with the federal probe into Kirk’s assassination told NBC News that investigators have yet to find a link between the alleged shooter and left-wing groups.

In one of Trump trials, I read that there is a full-time employee whose only job is to monitor daily news publications and delete any negative info reported on him. She even follows him around on the golf course. She then prints the positive news to give him all day long! Feeds his narcissism...

Jimmy Kimmel was suspended by ABC after pressure from the United States government. This is a direct attack on the First Amendment.

Ossoff: He’s so consumed by his efforts to secure revenge, crush his enemies, and conquer Greenland that he’s doing nothing for the people who elected him. His entire domestic agenda is tax breaks for the wealthy, rounding up immigrants, revenge, and centralizing as much power as he can..

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why.
What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?
