Left-leaning armchair expert, tired of reading the news and feeling helpless, so I type into this void instead, hoping to remind people they're not alone.
Well there's no bylaws about using an autopen even if true. It's just a "well technically he didn't sign them" like a kid on the playground "well technically I didn't touch you, I just poked you with this stick".
Also you can't just cancel the works of a former president over tweet.

Honestly I'm going to just frame this in my head as: They went after Elmo and Elmo does not mess around.

Huh, would you look at that? Released documents highlight he's got a high likelihood of having lied. Nobody is surprised as usual, but it's nice to get some vindication.
Raskin: "The DOJ hasn't released any of these emails that mention Trump's name & identify his role in all these activities. Those came from the Epstein estate. So this is a demonstration the govt is deliberately withholding the info everybody is actually looking for & could be damaging to Trump"

I feel that sometimes we need more whistleblower protections. People shouldn't be afraid to tell the truth.
I understand the need to keep active situations under secrecy, but this is significantly overdue.

There are four leaks to plug for Trump: the survivors, Ghislaine Maxwell, the Epstein Estate, and the 1000+ FBI and DoJ employees he locked in a building and forced to remove his name from the files.
Good luck, asshole.

Didn't he also get caught with an anonymous payoff for another teenage girl?
What happened with all that?

A teenage girl just alleged she had sex with Matt Gaetz while living in a homeless shelter because she was saving up money to pay for braces to fix her teeth.
She had just finished her junior year of high school.

THE SITUATION ROOM
Q: "Why are White House officials…meeting with Rep. Boebert in an effort to try to get her to not sign this petition calling for the release of the [Epstein] files?"
Leavitt: "I'm not going to detail conversations that took place in the situation room."

THE SITUATION ROOM
You can still get worse than that: He used his pageant business to exploit women and children as fodder for Epstein in preliminary scouting exchange. The overlap was obscured by Trump's shoddy paperwork.
It would also explain his pardon of Andrew Tate's human trafficking.

Best case: The President of the United States knew about a pedophilia ring and did nothing to stop it.
Medium case: He also used his office to protect the perpetrators.
Worst case: Because he was one of the perpetrators.

Trump also claims he fell out with Epstein because Epstein was being a "creep" around young girls at Mar-a-Lago. That is another lie. Being a creep around young girls was why Trump was friends with Epstein in the first place. They fell out over a bidding war on Florida real estate.

Trump has had control of the Epstein files for far too long to believe he hasn't doctored them in some way.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.
Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.
This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

It sure seems like this administration still has plenty of people in pockets.
From the Russians, crypto-moguls, the tech sector, Qatar, oil-moguls, the Israeli government, various billionaires...
It's honestly hard to track which one is doing the bad deed because they all are.

To be fair, it's easy to create this sort of weight loss when you're starving the population.
There's probably also something with Dr. Oz getting kickbacks from his Ozempic dealings. He's a true snake oil salesman.

Elon Musk's trillionaire status is based on a salary that he agreed to pay himself from a company who's valuation isn't nearly so high so he can use it as leverage for money he doesn't have.
Pretty sure for all the wealth Elon has, most of it is a hollow empty shell and worth nothing.

If this evidence ever sees the light of day, I want prosecutors, judges, and juries to see it, but I have absolutely no interest in viewing any of it.

I have a genuine worry that one of these days they'll pull a Weekend at Bernie's with Trump's dead body. Play puppeteer with his social media and wheel out his corpse to display for photo ops as proof he's alive.
I don't wish the worst, but I expect it from the people he's surrounded himself with.

Putting pronouns in your bio isn't a requirement.
I'm not sure how they always seem to interpret it as a nonconsenting thing. Like, you don't have to participate in doing the thing, it's optional.
It's just a way to establish equal footing and respectful boundaries... which I guess is the issue.

Nothing Trump does is without gain.
It's always a scam and at the end of the day, he pockets it somehow.

Can we talk about the way this is displayed?
The format is "Opinion: %" and then is displayed on bars as if they correlate to the number. It feels like it's meant to make you see them as the same amount at-a-glance.
I dunno who this is for, but just is weird to me.

Yeah, we may want to replace Jay Jones next cycle.
That said, the argument that he said bad things he shouldn't have been picked. Ask the Republicans why they waited right up to this close to an election to reveal his actions if they knew?
Is the issue his actions or that he got elected?

It's quite the highlight this.
Why, if they believe in their message, do they need to call in bomb threats?
Why did it happen in Georgia Democrat-centric areas during the 2025 election?
Why is most of the found election fraud largely aligned with the Republican party?
Bit of rhetorical.
