Pretty sure they’d have an aneurism upon learning that we turned the House into another Senate by refusing to reapportion it.

With the Epstein emails released today, we have witnessed the greatest-ever example of "Older white dudes don't understand that shit they type into their computers doesn't actually go away." It's like they thought these were high-tech anonymity boxes or something.

It's all so calculated. The way they talk in these exchanges is its own form of admission and he (Epstein) actually thinks this stuff should justify him getting away with it, while appearing to be annoyed that Trump didn't go down too

Put Ghislane in solitary and impeach this mf'er already
Trump "came to my house many times."

McGovern: Buried in this bill is a corrupt kickback for eight Republican senators, a million dollar payday funded by taxpayers, taken from the treasury and deposited directly into their pockets. What the hell is wrong with this place?

I have it on good authority that there’s an informal blacklist of NY business people that the big banks won’t lend money to, and Trump was put on it in the 80s, not just due to his casino bankruptcies. There’s a reason Trump‘s personal checking is capital one, and that only DWS would lend him money.

This is what used to be called a "bombshell"

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.
