I don’t understand why more lawyers don’t do this One Simple Trick™️. Just go up to the prosecutor and say, “So, what’s the price for you to make all this go away?”
Sen. Kevin Cramer: "Maybe the point should be if you're the attorney for Jay Powell and you want to avoid an indictment, how about you go to Jeanine Pirro and say, 'I'll make a deal. I'll step down today if you drop the investigation today.' To me, that would be a win win for everybody."

Philadelphia sheriff Rochelle Bilal:
“No law enforcement professional wears a mask…No law enforcement professional shoots at a moving vehicle.
“What Trump’s private army is doing…is not only against legal law, but moral law.”
Vows to arrest agents on site who commit crimes.

What the hell: The US accidentally invaded Mexico on Monday, storming a beach and planting DoD “restricted area” signs claiming the land for “the commander,” and triggered a standoff with armed Mexican security forces, all because Trump’s government can’t even identify a border on a map. 🧵 1/

While I believe this is the most likely scenario, I also believe Trump will have a meltdown about people even *thinking* he did it.
guys I hate to burst the blowjob bubble but the "blowing Bubba" thing in the Epstein e-mails is very likely to be them making prison rape jokes. Trump is going to prison, therefore Trump is going to have to blow Bubba - the mythical rapey fellow inmate of gross prison jokes by U.S. men.

FULL REPORT: Colombian public media reports
that a U.S. military strike on a boat on September
15—the second attack on a vessel by the U.S. in
the Caribbean that we're aware of—was a
Colombian boat and was in Colombian territorial
waters.
At least one of the three victims extrajudicially
killed in the strike was Colombian lifelong
fisherman Alejandro Carranza. Alejandro's
identity is confirmed by his cousin.
The Colombian boat was adrift and had its
distress signal up due to an engine failure.

The boat attacked on September 16 was
Colombian, had an engine on top as a sign of
damage and was turned off, presumably it was in
Colombian waters, who was there was a lifelong
fisherman: Alejandro Carranza, who has not
returned to his home.
Alert to the Attorney General of the Nation. I
request that you act immediately. Grant
immediate protection to the victim families and
associate them, if they wish, with the victims of
Trinidad and Tobago to initiate legal actions in the
world and in the justice system of the United

Omg I never even thought of this and now I have a new item on my bucket list.
Between this and that bizarre call into Fox, I am getting really convinced Trump is in the middle of some kind of really bad health crisis and is trying to make sure he doesn't have to be buried in an unmarked grave for fear of post-mortem desecration of his remains.
This is, at this point, generally true for Trump.
For example- today, after months of screaming about sky-high tariffs to crush the EU for being so unfair and mean to America, he just completely crumpled on all sectional EU tariffs and has gone back to the flat 15% shit.
