Say what you will about Joe Biden, at no time did he need a fucking BABYSITTER to make sure he didn't embarrass the United States of America with a 2 a.m. Tweet storm.
Tom Massie: “Once you pass certain guardrails, like attacking a man’s spouse or getting into racist tropes, I think it’s somebody at the White House, maybe Susie Wiles, needs to go to the president and just ask him for his phone, and maybe ask him just to show him the tweet before he sends it out.”
Massie on Trump's rhetoric: 'He's gone too far'
The Kentucky Republican said somebody at the White House really should monitor what the president posts.

If there's ever been a time to NOT be incrementalist, this is it. The most political capital you're gonna have is right now. And we got Gestapo death squads in MSP and TB spreading through concentration camps in Texas. If you can't find a win there, get out of politics. The Epstein Class, baby

I think we've all known for years that Trump International was a money laundering scheme used by the Russian mafia. This might be news to some people, but not anyone paying attention in Trump 1.0. The real ? is, why wasn't he prosecuted under the W Bush or Obama DOJs. Why did the govt fail to act?
He's a shell company kinda guy. Everything in this video is bang on. Epstein knew exactly what tRump is.

Trump is badly losing the war over ICE, not just on the streets, but also in the culture. As Bad Bunny shows, this has become a culture war unto itself. Trump-MAGA's initial hubris has been utterly deflated.

Trump Rages at Bad Bunny—and Accidentally Exposes a Big MAGA Weakness
MAGA’s hatred of the Super Bowl halftime performer reflects a hubris about what parts of the culture are “theirs.” But those assumptions are proving more wrong every day.

Good thread about how AI is being forced on us while corporate elites gave perfunctory, lightweight "commitments" to DEI and climate change initiatives. Shows the difference between ACTUAL commitment to something and the bare minimum for positive PR.
An observation I've been thinking about:
Around 2020, we were told that US political & corporate elites had been gripped by "wokeness" & thus become obsessed with climate change & diversity. This wokeness was alleged to be so severe & monomaniacal that it threatened the entire culture & economy.

Whoa read the comments ...
In an email exchange with Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell wrote that a man named Mike Lee's current position as of 2009 was "Head of dalas" (sic), and clarified she meant Dallas and that it was not a codeword.
