Behold. The festering carcass of American rot shoved into an ill-fitting suit: the sleaze of a conman, the cowardice of a draft dodger, the gluttony of a parasite, the racism of a Klansman, the sexism of a back-alley creep, the [missing]
ce of a bar-stool
drunk, and the greed of a hedge-fund ghoul— all spray-painted orange and paraded like a prize hog at a county fair. Not a president. Not even a man.
Just the diseased distillation of everything this country swears it isn't but has always been-arrogance dressed up as exceptionalism, stupidity passed off as common sense, cruelty sold as toughness, greed exalted as ambition, and corruption worshiped like gospel. It is America's shadow made flesh, a rotting pumpkin idol proving that when a nation kneels before
money, power, and spite, it doesn't just lose its soul-it sh*ts out this bloated obscenity and calls it a leader.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:y6ngpjmjdinnv7c3umzqs652/bafkreigh6gbicovaoqswwpyx6ee5tg4wyue46iksbcvcl7lsqeh6mrubwi@jpeg)

Jeffrey Epstein Arranged Employment for Romantic Partner at Top U.S. Think Tank
Emails show Epstein helped a girlfriend obtain roles at the International Peace Institute, a New York-base think tank, and may even have subsidized her salary at one point.

By flooding the system with constant crisis, the Trump administration sidelines Congress, exhausts the public, and concentrates executive power.

Rep. Johnson: “It’s been reported that there were 1,000 personnel assigned to the task of identifying and scrubbing Donald Trump's name from the Epstein files. Were those reports accurate?”
Bondi: “I believe his name has appeared countless times in the documents.”

Who seriously thinks Pier One Imports or Radio Shack is giving you a 20% return on your equity investment in one year?
Very rich people thought it would!
This wasn’t $1,000 here or there, but small fortunes being offered to chase goddamned Stein Mart.

Again, amazing financial reporting out of the WSJ.
It should also be filed among a necessary class of stories, something like:
“Extremely rich, tech savvy Americans fall for obvious frauds all the time, it’s not just for the elderly or people who don’t do computer good.”

She really just said why are you talking about the mass coverup of child rape when you should be talking about money
Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."

it’s the latest DARVO performance from pedophile protector pam bondi.
Her play is to flood the zone with aggression and nonsense and hope that becomes the story.
Bondi's main strategy so far seems to be:
- Blame the Biden administration and Democrats for everything
- Not acknowledge outing survivors in the Epstein files
- Shout that Trump is the best president in our nation's history

Last year was the second safest year for ICE and BP agents in history, despite a massive ramp up in agression, violence, and abuse by agents themselves.

2025 Was the 2nd Safest Year for Border Patrol and ICE Agents
Being a Border Patrol or ICE agent earns many insults, but words aren’t violence. Neither are they dangerous jobs.

OK, claiming property rights in a new term (I think). I just did a Substack live with Catherine Rampell, in which she suggested that young men may be pivoting from Bitcoin to prediction markets. And it just popped into my head: the Testosterone Trade.
