Why is Michael Wolff advising Jeffrey Epstein
So, while MSNBC/MSNOW is blanketing with Epstein and Grijalva, I tune in for a rare look at CNN and find Jake Tapper interviewing Andrew Ross Sorkin about his 1929 crash book and then teasing up the next sequence, about the House plodding toward the end of the government shutdown.

When FBI agents are tasked with aiding in the mass harassment of brown-skinned men, women and children, they're not doing their regular jobs. One of those regular jobs is investigating sex-trafficking rings, like the one Jeffrey Epstein ran and which Donald Trump participated in.

We have to starve ppl in case we need the money we'd spend feeding them to kill ppl instead. Got it!
Trump on SNAP: "Our country has to remain very liquid because problems, catastrophes, wars -- it could be anything. We have to remain liquid. We can't give everything away."

Paramount Has Blacklist for Stars Deemed “Overtly Antisemitic” — World of Reel
It sure looks like the likes of Javier Bardem, Joaquin Phoenix, Emma Stone, and Mark Ruffalo won’t be making movies for Paramount in the foreseeable future.

The hometown Bills are gearing up to meet three-time defending AFC champs Kansas City this weekend, but in this Amherst Anchor Bar, they are less interested in what the Chiefs' shutdown corners might do to quarterback Josh Allen than in what Dems' shutdown tactics might do to contractor Booz Allen.

Imagine pitching a movie where the President sets 600 hundred violent insurrectionists free, raises an army of masked thugs to give them jobs, and then levels the East Wing to build a golden ballroom.

I know this sounds extreme. It is.
I know I sound overly alarmist. I don't think I am.
Trump is enacting a well thought out plan so he and his allies can rule forever.
But it's not too late to stop them. We can peacefully and forcefully mobilize now. We have the power.

I hate being lied to. I find it extremely hard to forgive someone who lies to me once.
Why do so many Americans get off on being lied to—not just occasionally but hundreds of times—by a man who knows he’s lying and that his lies are so deranged they’re an insult to the intelligence of his audience?

LOL -- Trump is now claiming he's about to secure 21 TRILLION DOLLARS of investments so far in his second term. His fake number keeps going up and up almost daily, and the entire US GDP is $30 trillion, so yeah, he's full of it.
