I mean it seems like the administration just keeps stepping on rakes. By releasing a buffoonishly redacted and incomplete set of docs they just prolong the story and suspicion. What’s the strategy here?

DOJ broke the law today by refusing to produce all the Epstein files. It also broke the law by redacting information other than to protect victims. Yet, the corporate media is acting that DOJ did us a huge favor.

Donald Trump knows he will never earn or deserve the respect of the American people enough that monuments, buildings, institutions, or memorials will be named after him, so he’s taking other’s laurels and just adding his name himself.
Doesn’t matter. When he’s gone, we will erase him from it all.
