You know that scene in an action movie when the bad guy runs through the kitchen of a restaurant and pulls down all the pots and pans behind him to slow down his pursuers? We're in that part of the Trump presidency.

The governing party of the United States is shutting down the federal government to cover-up evidence the president sexually abused children so he can continue trying to implement dictatorship.

1/ The Epstein files don’t have an incentive to lie for a coverup.

The dead giveaway: DOJ can simply release all the Epstein files, but refuses.
Also, what's with the wiggle words in Blanche's statement?

One of the things about JD Vance is that he is completely 100% aware that what he is doing is evil and has made a deliberate, conscious choice to do evil to get power. He’s not self-deluded or dumb. He hasn’t drunk Kool-Aid. He’s decided to do evil for power.

Tedious to point this out, but:
- When a tongue-tied Biden said "President of Mexico" instead of "Prez of Egypt," it was a several day story.
-Hours after Trump says whoever appointed J Powell made a big mistake (it was him), the episode appears not to merit a story on any national-media sites.

Wait a minute. Are you telling me these people are extremely unqualified for the positions they hold? Huh.
Kristi Noem, the homeland security secretary, bungled answers on Tuesday about habeas corpus, incorrectly saying that the legal right of people to challenge their detention by the government was actually the president’s “constitutional right” to deport people.
