Avid reader, cat lover, Trump hater. Want to live long enough to piss on his grave.
The GOP is in such a tribal cult that they think Democrats must be too and will circle the wagons around left-wing sexual predators, whereas we would happily see them all fry. It's really telling that he thinks this transparent ploy to make child rape a partisan issue will move Republicans.
Trump asks Justice Dept. to investigate Epstein ties to Clinton, others
The president suggested that those relationships deserve more scrutiny than his own past ties to the disgraced financier.

The NY Times doesn't do tabloid journalism, except when they do. What absolute, unbelievable trash. Yet Jeffrey Epstein was offering even sleazier stuff on an ACTUAL PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE to a Times reporter in 2015, and they said, "Nah, we prefer to talk about the lady's emails, thanks anyway."

These cretins are so hungry for power that there could be actual video of him raping their own children and they would make excuses for him. They would probably feel honored.

Yeah, see, I wouldn't rely on the advice of any of these so-called lawyers. "Just following orders" didn't work at Nuremberg.

instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Any Dem senator who votes to reopen the government w/o a commitment to extend ACA subsidies needs to be primaried out. They just won a landslide election in large part because voters blame the GOP for the shutdown and rising costs. And they're going to throw them a lifeline? Political malpractice.

Theoretically, this eventually turns into the “how do I ensure my doomsday bunker guards don’t eat me?” problem that all the “futurists” say is the number one question they’re asked by billionaires.
“More and more cabinet members — Rubio, Miller, Noem — live on military bases now, & it's another parallel to Iraq, where the administration lived in the Green Zone. There’s something deeply unhealthy about a society where leaders are literally shut off from the communities that they govern.”
