Lol was her recent press tour a campaign for Speaker?

Is she going to try and throw Johnson under the bus for covering this up?

People with terminal Online know that the phrase "[person] did nothing wrong" is always used in defense of historically unfairly maligned individuals and not, say, genocidal autocrats.
CBS News' Weijia Jiang: "Did the president ever spend hours at Jeffrey Epstein’s house with a victim?"

Karoline Leavitt: "These emails prove nothing other than the fact that President Trump did nothing wrong."

So many of these emails read like the ravings of an I Think You Should Leave character
"Subject: Trump"

"Importance: High"

"The allegation was not at a pedophile party. It was at my house with me."

Is this how dummies think "Off the record" works?
"Do not repeat this insight" indeed

How much damage could President Vance do in 2 years, realistically?

Seems like a lot of the west coast is starting to log on, eh?

Still remarkable that every bad thing ever said about Trump has more or less been revealed to be true and often even worse than originally thought.

Truly one of the worst dudes ever.

The fact that Wolff seems to be so deep into this stuff, he really gives me this guy vibes

I did not realize the Senate would also have to vote on this. I want to see way more reporting on how senators are planning to handle it.

Low on the list of important notes from this article, but I am bemused by Epstein referring to a guy who always uses dogs as a slur or lowly creature as "the dog that didn't bark"
In a message obtained by Congress, the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein wrote that Trump spent hours at his house with one of Epstein’s victims

Getting UBI by hating Trump enough that he keeps trying to send checks to everyone until his poll numbers go up
lmfao he knows he's unpopular so he's trying to hit the affordability button by sending out checks with his name on it again

This can't be real. No serious person would ever expect such a thing to happen. Charlie Brown isn't even this gullible.
Shaheen: "We've heard from a number of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle that they're willing to come to the table, they're willing to work with us once the govt is open to get this done. We've heard the same thing from the White House. So now we'll see if they're really gonna work w/us"

The Amon Ra Trump dance and now this. Lions just cursed themselves this season.

It's easy to note the absolutely corrupt nature of this; but to me this is the sort of raging against the dying of the light I'd expect from a very old and sick man

Taking a break from @lukeoneil47.bsky.social 's wonderfully devastating We Had it Coming and reading some Shirley Jackson short stories:

Getting a lot of Luke O'Neil vibes from these stories

I love getting the same 3 spam voice mails promising me a loan everyday from a new phone number. I hope it never ever stops. I hope nobody ever promises to do anything about it if they get elected.
