Pam Bondi on Feb. 21: Epstein client list is “sitting on my desk right now.”
Bondi’s DOJ on July 7: There’s no client list. As for other Epstein files, “no further disclosure would be appropriate.”
Trump on Nov. 14: Investigate Bill Clinton over Epstein.
Bondi, also Nov. 14: Coming right up, boss!

Earnest post: there is increasingly direct evidence that Trump participated in child sex trafficking or at least knew about it.
He should resign, be impeached and removed from office, and prosecuted.
Even if you don’t think that WILL happen it’s important to say publicly that it SHOULD happen.

The official response to this should be “LOL no.”

Even if someone explained to him the difference between political asylum and insane asylums it would just go in one ear and out the other. Because there’s nothing in between the ears to stop it.
Is there ever going to be an interviewer who pushes back and tells him that immigrants seeking asylum is different than insane asylums?
O'DONNELL: Are we going to war against Venezuela?
TRUMP: I doubt it. They emptied their mental institutions and insane asylums into the United States of America

Once again, one reason Trump says & does whatever he wants is bc every societal institution, including the media, has totally normalized & internalized the idea that the laws, the Constitution, & the international treaties we have signed & ratified simply don’t apply to this one guy. It’s maddening.
No mention at all of the fact that Trump doesn't have the legal authority to do this, that plans haven't even been reviewed (because the office is closed for the government shutdown), that the size and cost estimates keep changing, etc., etc.

Huh, interesting. Several justices on the Supreme Court are supposedly members of Opus Dei.
BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV is set to effectively disband Opus Dei in the coming weeks.
This would be the most sweeping internal reform of his pontificate — and a dramatic continuation of Pope Francis’s legacy.

If Pope Leo does indeed approves a plan that effectively dissolves Opus Dei’s structure, it would be the most significant internal action of his short pontificate to date.

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

This is a great book if you want a better understanding of religion in the US. Highly recommended. Also, if you‘re interested in the intersection of religion and politics in the US and you’re not following Jack, you need to fix that.
So, the religious left (broadly speaking) got a lot of attention this week.
If you’re curious to know more about the modern religious left — the iterations that have emerged in the last 10-20 years — I, uh, wrote a book about it. www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0062...
