The system is rigged — and Trump wants to keep it that way because his own power depends on it.
What drives Trump is simple: he cares more about protecting the interests of those with power than those with none.
So when he lashes out about “Epsteingate,” understand why.

Paid a Colombian tea grower $1,500 for a shipment. Got billed $150 by the Trump administration at the border. *I* got billed. Not the tea growers. Not the Colombian government. Me. The American business owner. I paid the Trump tax.

My wife and I have a list of favorite Lady Felicia screams, on Father Brown.
Top of the list is when she’s announcing the car race.
The best non-scream is the one from the horror movie. The look of affront. Chef kiss.
