Liberal, educated, Jewish. Just this cantankerous, old guy who reads.

After more than 20 years, I am still in the madness of love with the woman who married me and love the adult spawn that still rattles about our house at strange hours.

Given that Pam Bondi stopped investigating DonnieDumbFuck for a $25K "campaign donation," the answer to the interference for the tRUMP-Epstein-Maxwell child rape human-trafficking ring that she has been running for decades snaps into focus.

Pam's money is on the money launderer in the Oval Office.
Jeffrey Epstein was running a child sex ring in Florida. Yet for some reason when Pam Bondi served as Florida's Attorney General from 2011 to 2019 she never charged him. She did prosecute others for being sexual predators but not Epstein. My new article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/we-need-to...
We need to know why Pam Bondi did not investigate Jeffrey Epstein when she was Florida’s AG from 2011 to 2019?!
Was Bondi protecting Trump?!

“Short bursts indicate an ICE sighting. Long whistles indicate agents making arrests. If you hear the whistle and you’re undocumented, said [Whitney Hu, a community activist and organizer with South Brooklyn Mutual Aid], ‘you hide. And if you’re somebody who’s not, you go to the street.’”
As ICE Street Raids Ramp Up, New Yorkers Stock Up On Whistles
Taking a cue from Chicago, community groups have distributed thousands of whistles in recent weeks — a grassroots system people in other cities have adopted to help neighbors sound the alarm.

Look, if you are trailing a budget and then immediately walking it back, before trailing an asylum bill and immediately walking it back, then you are just bad at politics and policy. There are no redeeming features here.

ICEstapo detained 81 people in Charlotte, NC yesterday.

The internet is littered with videos of them using excessive force and ignoring legal documentation provided by the detainees.

Here’s my advice for ICEstapo:

Take a night off.

Go to the movies.

Watch “Nuremberg”.

Your time is coming.

To folk who think the the MangoMoron had the tRUMP-Epstein-Maxwell files redacted for the name "tRUMP:"

Redaction leaves a black box.

It is more likely they use "find and replace" to substitute tRUMP with Clinton . . . Wait until we find out that William Jefferson Clinton's first name is DONALD.

DonnieDumbFuck is a vaguely human-shaped embodiment of a paper sack filled to the brim with drippy excrement.

The story is "Why does he have any approval rating at all?"

TACO is giving “permission” for the Epstein files vote because he already lost that vote,

and he would rather pretend he’s OK with it than be humiliated by the loss.

His plan is to get DOJ to scuttle the actual release. Which they will.

And this will drag out for the next 11 months. Thanks TACO!

Pam Bondi has been running interference for the tRUMP-Epstein-Maxwell child rape human-trafficking ring since the mid-2000s. She investigated them zero times.

tRUMP trafficked girls through his club and "beauty pageants." tRUMP was laundering Russian oligarch cash since 1986.

The Feds prosecuted.
We need an independent commission to review and publish the Epstein files.

Pam Bondi is only going to do what she is told.

"(Hitler's) feeling for men is not that they co-exist, but that they are capable of being arranged and standardized by a superior intellect...." - E.B. White, author of Charlotte's Web

An insistence that power should follow "superiority" is essential to fascism.

DHS named its North Carolina anti-immigrant effort "Operation Charlotte's Web." In 1940, White wrote of the "smell" that "rises" from those who "adjust to fascism" over freedom.
