Bill Clinton testified under oath about Monica Lewinsky. He will now testify under oath about Epstein. There is no excuse for Donald Trump doing that too. Either you want to learn the truth about Epstein’s crimes & who else was involved or you don’t.

When Chuck Tingle titles have ruined a normal word use for you: "featuring that epic John Romita cover of Spider-Man trapped in a sewer getting pounded by a stream of water" I mean I knew the cover meant but... well... I read it like a Tingle title and... VERY different story.

Democrats should say if they take Congress they will investigate Elon Musks pedophile-enabling service because Republicans won’t. They should also say they will review all his SpaceX contracts so the American taxpayers aren’t financing the creation of kiddie porn.

They're pushing Newsom super hard hoping you forget there is still plenty of time to find a good candidate that doesn't throw trans rights into the garbage, because fuck voting for that piece of shit.

To me, Congressmen who violate their oath of office (to, inter alia, support and defend the Constitution) are a non-starter.
Rep. Mark Harris: "Some of these things are nonstarters. Having judicial warrants? To me, hat's a nonstarter. Being able to make off their mask, putting them at risk? That's a nonstarter. I would say anything that's going to hamstring the work of ICE, that's just not going to go anywhere."

Not only did the cybercrime unit in Paris raid the X offices.
They rubbed it in and posted on X that the X offices have been raided.
Then retired their Twitter account, so their final post is that they are raiding Musk.
Absolute legend.
