It would’ve been nice if Greene had realized this before she amplified and endorsed calls for executing Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama.

The Kremlin disguised a nearly $100 mn payment to Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal... and both Jeffrey Epstein and William Pulte were involved in the deal. That's very interesting.

So to recap:
1. Trump buys a property for ~40million(?) (somewhere >36million)
2. Instantly turns it around to list it for $125 million
3. Eventually sells it to Russian oligarch Ryobovlev for $100 million
Kind of a neat way to get ~$60 million for no reason at all.
That profit is sparkling clean

There is negative-to-0 probability the Epstein files are released.
Who has them? Pam Bondi's DOJ and Kash Patel's FBI.
Sign whatever discharge petitions you want. Trump will take this to SCOTUS, and by then Bondi will have magically made them disappear.
Absolutely no chance Trump lets this happen

I understand Trump proposed the idea of 50-year mortgages. Many are ridiculing the idea out-of-hand without any thoughtful discussion. So I propose we take the idea at face value and discuss it just on the merits.
But for simplicity, let's call these "Epstein Mortgages".

Zohran has ended his victory speech by summoning and entrapping the spirit of Andrew Cuomo in a Greater Soul Gem. The translucent former governor's mouth hangs open in a pained howl as he writhes within the jewel, but makes no sound.

The ad did not, in fact, misrepresent Reagan's views. But the idea that anyone needs the Reagan Foundation's goddamn permission to use the publicly broadcast official remarks of a former president and/or edit them for brevity is crazy

Wow. Sidney Reid, the DC woman just found not guilty of assaulting an FBI agent, issues a withering and gutsy statement on Trump through her attorneys.
"I feel sorry for the prosecutors really, who must be burdened by Trump's irrational and unfounded hatred for his fellow man."

Looks like the meeting with Zelenskyy was a good one. Trump now backs Ukraine’s 1991 borders instead of offering up Crimea to Putin.

Cancer drug Revlimid is one of the bestselling pharmaceutical products of all time, with total sales of over $100 billion.
It’s also extraordinarily expensive, costing nearly $1,000 for each pill, even though that pill costs just 25 cents to make.
