The good news: the president has pardoned the turkey.
The bad news: two hours later the turkey was arrested for running a ponzi scheme and committing acts of gross sexual imposition.

the takeaway from the Zohran Trump meeting is that Trump is a gullible fool who will temporarily bend to the last charismatic person he talked to.
Zohran played him perfectly but that doesn’t mean Trump is good now. He’ll go back to fascism tomorrow morning after he talks to Stephen Miller

❤️🩹 I’m so deeply ashamed of this country.
Zelenskyy has posted a deeply difficult, ten‑minute national address. It is honestly heartbreaking to watch. I’m sure translations are already circulating and you’ll find it online, but the first point you need to hear is this:
"Right now is one of the most difficult moments in our history. ,

My father was EVP of Waldenbooks when "Art of the Deal" came out. He would never have dinner w/an author unless he read their book. After his dinner w/Trump he told me, "Not only did that ass not write the book, I'm quite sure he never read it."

Hey Schumer haters. You suck
he made the right calculation, cause it fucking was.
If Schumer hadn’t done this, we don’t know if Thune would have brought it to a vote. We don’t know when Thune would have brought it to a vote, we don’t know if Trump might have changed his mind and tried to get Senators to back down.

You might not have caught what just happened on the Senate floor, but the Senate just “deemed as passed” the Epstein resolution.
That means as soon as it arrives from the House, it automatically passes the Senate (with no amendments) and heads to the President’s desk.
Wow.

Glad the vote was 427/1. Clay Higgins is an idiot. Am I the only one thinking the GOP went along with this vote because they know Bondi/ DOJ have sterilized and/or doctored these files? They’ll be hidden again because of the ongoing investigation etc.

This is cool. COURIER has created a searchable database with all 20,000 of the files just released from Epstein’s estate.
Trump's name appears in them more than anyone else, in 1,628 documents.

Do y’all know how many republicans & democrats based their HRC hate on Epstein bs?
I gotta give the GOP credit. The $Billion they spent over the better part of a decade to trash the Clintons was well $ spent.

I know. And I frankly wouldn't give even an itty bitty damn if it implicated every Democratic man in Congress, every Democratic hopeful for 2028 and every Democrat who has even thought about running for office.
