As the FBI’s deputy director, Dan Bongino receives some of the country’s most sensitive secrets, including the President’s Daily Brief. His ascent to that position without passing a standard bureau background check is unprecedented, insiders say.

So many vulnerable people were hurt, harassed and raped by these ghouls and now—I’m worried—it’s gonna become hehe haha lurid internet circus instead of a long overdue moral reckoning. I’m scared of who we all are becoming. That man has brought us ALL low.

The famous, delicious Round Rock Donuts are yeast-based and have a distinctive color. Get them right out of the oven at the Lone Star Bakery in Round Rock, just north of Austin, Texas:

It all would have been much easier if, as would have happened if we were remotely a serious country, it all ended with the Access Hollywood interview.

When we’re doing city planning, why aren’t we asking simpler questions? Like “How could your life be easier if your city or community were different?”

"Also amazing are pancakes, folks. A new word nobody has ever heard. I came up with it. They're like cakes but from a pan. I call them pancakes. Christians too. Adopting to pancakes. Very big stuff. Ballroom. Huge. And some say flarpnozzle bing. Bingidy bangidy. So sad. Flurp."
Trump: "Christians and more, think of this, more than twice as likely foster care they'll adopt the general population. They adopt to it so easily. When they get out, they adopt to it like it's become second nature. It's amazing."

Predictable but still amazing to watch people who spent literally years accusing every librarian, teacher, and trans person they could find of sexually grooming children suddenly throw themselves in with "actually it's ephebophilia"
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

Its incredible that nine years after Americans elected a guy who presents in every way as a through and through super villain the big news story should finally be - wow, check this out, he really is a through and through super villain.

Once again, if you wrote a story in which the jetsetting corrupt FBI chief took a government plane to the "Boondoggle Ranch" an editor would tell you to get a different job, because you're not cut out for writing believable stories.

It’s important to achieve bipartisanship with Republicans so they can arrest Barack Obama for something they read on the Epoch Times’ Facebook page written by a Chinese cult member in 2019.
Breaking MSNBC:

The U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida called a division-wide meeting this afternoon, following the resignations of two prosecutors who were asked to take part in a vast "conspiracy" investigation into former intel and law enforcement officials.

So the Senate vote to advance the funding deal is currently 56-40. All the Democrats have voted. FOUR Republicans have not yet voted: John Cornyn, Rick Scott, Ron Johnson and Mike Lee. All of them need to vote YES to get this to 60, otherwise it fails.
