Bari Weiss: 60 Minutes segment failed to show Government view that CECOT detainees are due judicial review

On right:

Judge Boasberg Dec 22: "The Government itself has not even contested that the detainees who now make up the CECOT class received inadequate process prior to their removal"

Second big batch of Epstein files includes many mentions of Trump
After a first batch of Epstein document had few mentions of President Donald Trump, the Justice Department disclosed thousands more with many references to the president.

Bill Clinton releasing a statement saying 'release the Epstein files, you cowards' was not on my bingo list.

Is there any connection to the fact that that the documents contained numerous references to Trump that do not, shall we say, paint him in the best light?
NEW: Tens of thousands of documents appearing to be from "Dataset 8" of the Epstein files went live on a Justice Department website today, only to be pulled down hours later without explanation.

That this individual should not be confirmed is not a question. The question is, how did he ever get nominated in the first place? - State Dept. nominee espoused antisemitic views, downplayed the Holocaust t.co/oYWN7uNVIe

This is referring to Donald Trump, referred to by too many as "the greatest president ever", a narcissistic, psychotic sociopath with an inferiority complex the size of the Grand Canyon. How does anyone in the Jewish or Christian communities support such a despicable and immoral person?
DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar:

"Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

The DOJ's latest release of Epstein files includes an email from a federal prosecutor saying Trump flew aboard the sex offender's private jet "many more times than previously has been reported."

Watch the segment yourself. Bari Weiss has demonstrated that her claim to be a "real journalist" is false and that she cannot be trusted to relate the truth in a unbiased and honest manner.

Hegseth sounds immature, ridiculous. He must feel pretty damn inadequate when compared to Sen. Kelly.And,frankly, he’s got good reason to feel inadequate:Kelly has far more intelligence, experience, accomplishments, integrity, dignity, courage and strength. Hegseth picked a fight with the wrong man.

A man-child. Hegseth has no business being in DOD. His maturity level this that of a 6-yo playing Army. He’s a disgrace to the men & women in service to the country.

Trump’s decision to shift the nation’s most advanced aircraft carrier to South America is pulling the ship out of the Mediterranean at a very dangerous time. The U.S.will have only 1 aircraft carrier deployed & none off Europe or the Middle East. www.militarytimes.com/news/your-mi...
Carrier’s move to South America leaves Mideast, Europe with none
It's a stark change after the U.S. joined Israeli strikes on Iran in June and engaged in some of the most intense operations since WWII in the Red Sea.

A Marine’s father, wearing a “Proud Marine Dad” hat, was detained while visiting Camp Pendleton and later deported. New reporting suggests the dad was a victim of mistaken identity. This is NOT how we should treat military families in the United States of America.

- Denied the scope of the Oct. 7 attacks
- Suggested that Oct. 7 was justified
- Liked a comment on Facebook referring to all Jews as “monkeys”
