I trust major news organizations, members of Congress, and public interest groups are publicizing their secure tip lines so DOJ and FBI employees with knowledge of political interference in the Epstein files review process, can explain safely and confidentially what they saw.

I honestly still can’t believe they did this
it’s just photos on a desk! it’s not even in the same league as his fucking birthday note! removing it after the fact is the biggest possible “we are covering shit up” signal they could possibly send, couldn’t look guiltier if they tried

This photo, file 468, from the Epstein files that includes Donald Trump has apparently now been removed from the DOJ release.
AG Bondi, is this true? What else is being covered up? We need transparency for the American public.

They redacted Melinda Gates and kept Bill Gates in the photo to make it look like he was with a victim.
Note that Melinda Gates is the very rare person who puts their wedding ring on their right hand and the ring is about the same size as the one in the picture.

As someone points out, that actually looks more than a little like Melinda. Impossible to be sure of anything, obviously

"The decision to bring charges against President Trump was mine, but the basis for those charges rests entirely with President Trump and his actions, as alleged in the indictments returned by grand juries in two different districts."

I think I am rare on here for believing Obamacare>single payer>Republican healthcare plans.
But Obamacare manages to have a great deal of advantages over single payer systems.
1. Better medical professional pay, so doctors don't struggle with near poverty as in the British system.
2. No system

Striking doctors are amazingly far out of touch with the public on this. They're cynically targeting the winter NHS pinch point, amid rising flu, like tube drivers trying to wreck Christmas retail sales. It's tin-eared.

I’m kind of new to the Democrats, but I thought we were FOR respecting the legal process, and also that we were AGAINST political corruption. And that it was especially important to hold to these principles at this time.
But I guess there’s some insider memo I didn’t get that would set me straight?

Take - woke 1 was right about sexism and racism still being large issues but
-Focused too much on micro aggressions.
-Focused too much on collective guilt.
-Focused too much on self flagellation.
-Focused too much on social censure and performative wokeness as the response.
