I came here to garden and punch Nazis, and I'm all out of plants. Married so long we're now in the Smithsonian. No DMs unless I already know you; no $ requests. Sober-ish when I wanna be. Old enough to know better, old enough not to give a crap. PNW.
Here's your Presidents Day treat: a real President speaks. Not a perfect President, by any means, but a decent person who can think and speak. These days, that's not nothing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uI-h...

"Totally exonerated"--those words don't mean what you think they do.
Trump: I have nothing to hide. I have been exonerated. I have nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein. I have been totally exonerated on Epstein.

Not discounting the possibility that this is some demented AI slop, but it surely does track with what we already know about trump. Walking in on beauty contestants in the dressing room, musing about Ivanka's and Tiffany's child bodies, etc. Icky icky icky

Also read Barry Levine's book "The Spider" for more speculation that Epstein was murdered, and did not commit suicide. Very sus.

Damned right, Mrs. Betty Bowers.
Casting a vote in a polling station is a constitutionally protected right.
Murdering people in cold blood in the street is not.
Thank you for your attention to this matter, Mr. Emmer.

Emmer: "Another reform they claim they want is they want ICE agents to identify themselves, to show identification. But they don't want identification for voters in elections. I mean, this stuff is just intellectually inconsistent."

I Spoke At Stonewall Today

First Pammy-kins and now Peter Navarro (in interview with Maria Bartiromo, another towering intellect) expressing the Dow's level in terms of dollars, when its measurement is *points*, not dollars. Just how stupid do they think we are? Justin Wolfers gets it, by the way.
The Dow was at 43,488 when Trump took office. It just hit 50,000.
So if you had invested $43,488 in the US, you would now have $50,000. But if you had invested the same amount in the rest of the world, you would now be worth $60,000.

"Dow 50,000" Sound Nice. Until Justin Wolfers Shows You That U.S. Markets Are Coming 21st Out of 23.
What does “Dow 50,000” actually tell you—anything about the economy, or just that a number got bigger?
Dow 50,000 is a milestone, not a measurement. The level of the Dow is basically arbitrary: it’s…

I'm a nobody, but you can put me on the list, Dr. Reich.
The New York Times reports that the Department of Homeland Security has sent Google, Meta, and other media corporations subpoenas for the names on accounts that criticize ICE enforcement. The department wants to identify Americans who oppose what it’s doing. I’ll save them time.

From your lips to the Goddess's ear, on both counts.
I think we are going to have a Democratic-controlled Senate.
And all we will need for the leadership of that Democratic Senate to do is hold actual, real, impeachment trials.
As the Constitution requires.
Not the bullshit fake trials like the ones that the Senate held in 2020 and 2021...

Most of these people are NOT criminals.
Some of these people;
entered legally,
have committed zero crimes,
& have gone through EVERY legal step towards citizenship.
And this is how they’re being treated.
This is what the world sees us doing.

America FA'd and now it's time for FO'ing.
VP Kamala Harris was an outstanding candidate, had served on all the executive branches at the highest levels.
Understood the Constitution, rule of law and the importance of protecting our democracy.
Was rejected because her brilliance exposed their mediocrity like president Obama and Michelle.

Gawd, the stones on that woman protester. Fck ICE.
ICE point weapon directly at woman peacefully protesting, just inches in front of her face.
Goon is pointing a B&T GL06 grenade launcher and shooting someone at point-blank range with this so-called
"less than lethal" ammo could be fatal.

We want names, sure: but more than that, we want accountability. Investigations, prosecutions, and consequences. Then the healing can begin.
Everything needs to be the Epstein Files.
There is no other issue until people are thrown in jail for raping and abusing children.
They will ramp up killing US citizens by ICE agents to deflect and distract.
But we must keep on the Epstein Files.
