So he doesn’t tell Congress, but the oil companies are fully briefed and involved. Which Article of the Constitution is the oil companies?
Reporter: Did you speak with the oil companies before the operation? Did you tip them off?
Trump: Before and after. They want to go in and they’re going to do a great job.

On 9/11, people were outraged, devastated, scared, and hurt. I was sitting there depressed, thinking, "We're going to do something really stupid."
That's the way I feel today, and nobody even attacked us.

So... we don't want to help the people of Ukraine or those starving in Gaza or Africa, because we're busy overthrowing a government to steal oil for the oil companies?
I think I understand the priorities.

1. Vaccine skeptics have become prominent and are now even government-approved.
2. Measles cases are up 14,608%.

Awkward timing for Trump. Difficult to engage in an illegal war nobody wants to steal oil based on drug war lies, while pardoning a drug kingpin, while your SecDef is investigated for war crimes, and when you have to find someone else willing to commit war crimes as new SecDef.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

With Trump and his subservient DOJ/FBI, I have little faith that we'll ever see complete transparency on the Epstein files — so unfortunate, and a travesty of justice for the victims.
However, I do have some comfort that the cloud of cover-up will hang above Trump's head for the rest of his life.

I've been enjoying following the James Comey "prosecution" by insurance lawyer Lindsey Halligan, who was brought in to carry out Trump's demands when no honest prosecutor would.
It is a race to see which of the maybe 10 or 12 legitimate reasons for dismissal will be first.
