It’s not trump who’s in charge. It’s libertarian billionaires that *hired* trump.
“21 right-wing groups linked to court-whisperers” Leonard Leo and Charles Koch backed the successful assault on Chevron v. NRDC, which held that “the courts should generally defer to federal agencies.”

Yeah that’s great - but how many hundreds of times did *Obama* tweet angrily and incoherently on Xmas day?
Huh?
So obviously Trump is better smarter and more good looking than Obama.

Today’s wrap up of C-Span callers:
“I give the president a great deal of credit for doing a great job. But the media seems to be all telling lies about what he’s doing.”
This guy responds to online polls -and mainstream media will quote those polls as if they represent the opinions of smart people.

Ok - Epstein.
Todd Blanch says there’s a million documents in the Epstein files. And that virtually every one of them has victim information in/on them.
Think about that. These victims have been trying to get justice for up to 30+ YEARS - and nothing has ever happened despite A MILLION DOCUMENTS.

Maybe all the redacted stuff is about how Trump has been fighting against the deep state child sex trafficking ring and he's too shy to take credit.

Hey Katy Tur.
“Nothing behind” Epstein’s threats?
You just said yourself that several administrations have looked at the Epstein evidence and charged nobody.
BELIEVE THE VICTIMS. The proof in what they’re saying is right in front of you.
Why are you (apparently) on the side of the coverup?

Katy Tur hears a victim that she was 14 when she met Epstein - told her to be careful who she talked to - because “I own the banks, I own government I own everything - and if it’s you or me - everything will go my way.”
Tur: “Wow that would be frightening even if there *was* nothing behind it.”

As an atheist I can only respect a legitimate Christian like James Talarico.
Speaker Mike Johnson says his entire worldview comes from the Bible.
But he’s about to kick 2 million Texans off their healthcare right before Christmas.
If you aren’t loving your neighbor, then keep Jesus’ name out of your mouth.

He can’t talk.
He’s supposedly pardoning people he’s never heard of. Any news he doesn’t like is “fake.” He’s taken 5 or 6 cognitive tests. MRI he doesn’t know why.
WHO IS OUR PRESIDENT RIGHT NOW? It’s definitely not Trump. Is this just the last step in the 1/6/21 coup? Miller and Vought?

A lot of young future voters really don’t know what a real president can be like. In 2016 an 18 year old today was only in 4th grade. (Probably not paying a ton of attention to politics.) Let’s give them better younger more progressive candidates to vote for!
