If **Jeffrey Epstein** thinks you're a evil and demented sociopath, the odds are overwhelming that you are, in fact, an evil and demented sociopath.

Why is Trump trying so hard to stop the Epstein files from coming out? It must be because he cares so much about due process.

On Dec. 8, 2015, Jeffrey Epstein offers a NY Times reporter photos of Donald Trump and "girls in bikinis in my kitchen." Epstein tells the reporter that he "gave" Trump his "20 year old girlfriend...after two years."
When people looked into these type of rumors the Times smugly criticized them.

If Trump can publicly ask his personal lawyer, AG Bondi, to set up a $230 million payment to himself, why shouldn’t his Senate enablers try “self-serving, self-dealing kind of stuff” themselves? The Trump Party’s open corruption is staggering. What’s happening behind the scenes? And this passed.

Tens of thousands killed in the past month. If our country had any sense of the responsibility of world leadership, or even interest in the human condition, we’d be on the ground. Having gutted USAID and having far right nationalists at the helm, we just watch; and by our absence, encourage.

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

Sen. Paul is right. These are murders.
Rand Paul on Trump's strikes on boats: "I would call them extrajudicial killings. This is akin to what China does, what Iran does with drug dealers -- they summarily execute people without presenting evidence to the public. So it's wrong."

I didn’t plan to break news. I just looked out the window.
I was flying out of DCA and saw the East Wing being demolished. I took a photo, posted it, and by the time I landed, it was on CNN.
It's wild how fast one moment can move — and how something so ordinary can make the world pay attention.
