Not the vibe he was going for. It makes him look small, weak, decrepit, and out of it.

Leviticus 19:33-34 “When a stranger sojourns with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong. You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.”
The UK far right is increasingly infiltrating the Anglican church so this is bang on trend.

Congressman Randy Fine’s vile rhetoric against our Muslim communities is deeply disturbing and unacceptable.

Our Muslim friends and neighbors uplift our state and our country. All of my colleagues must immediately denounce this Islamophobia and racist behavior. We must be better than this.

It sure is something watching Girl Guides protest the exclusion of their trans members, at the same time as the BBC pushes someone out for being a trans ally and routinely updates their news articles to insert transphobic terminology.

These photos reveal more of what we know to be true: that Epstein had a circle of the world’s wealthiest and most powerful men around him at all times.

No more coverup. No more delays. Release the files — NOW.

I think he instinctively put his hand up and either scratched his own ear or it was a con job. Either way it explains why no facts were made public and his ear shows not one iota of any scar or damage.

I agree... I think he used a blood capsule. That said, if this had really happened, he'd still be posting about it... He would have milked it for all it was worth... He would not let it pass so easily.

The American people are sick of two Americas where rich folks get off on crimes and get tax cuts while the rest of us suffer.

When the powerful and wealthy aren't held to account for heinous crimes like those in the Epstein files, it's the everyday people who hurt the most.

Almost 550,000 American workers are over 80. It's one of the fastest-growing demographics in the workforce. Many were unable to save enough to retire, or had a health emergency, or had to care for adult children. Many barely get by.

America's oldest workers can't retire. Here's how they're getting by.
For America's oldest workers, retirement isn't possible. Workers in their 80s live paycheck to paycheck, use Social Security, and dip into savings.

Pardons would prevent federal prosecutions, sure.

Federal prosecutions aren’t the only way to write the closing chapter to a lawless authoritarian regime.

Never forget that when conservatives couldn't win in a democracy they didn't abandon conservatism; they abandoned democracy.
Bush v. Gore was an unambitious declaration of war by Republicans against democracy and the rule of law. Republicans made clear they didn't view those principles merely as malleable concepts they could cynically bend; no, they see those principles as fundamentally incompatible with conservatism.
As one of those Democratic attorneys who was camped out in West Palm Beach - taking depositions from inconsolable grandmas swearing they hadn’t voted for Buchanan, I still have trauma. 🥺
