Why would Jeffrey Epstein kill himself in jail if he had this much leverage of the one person who could give him a full pardon?

I suppose Congress could institute the workhouse system again. It worked so well in Victorian England, back in the day.
"By 1576 the law stipulated in the Poor Relief Act that if a person was able and willing, they needed to work in order to receive support."

GOP House members know they are safe to vote yes on releasing the Epstein files because the Felon-in-Chief already closed the door on the files by having Bondi open new cases that have those files as evidence!

Funny, how MAGA is *outraged* over someone who is simply a Muslim in the New York City mayor's mansion, but has no comment about a Muslim who is an actual murderer in the White House.

The Founders were so concerned about bribery that the Constitution forbids it three separate times. Two emoluments clauses ban officials—unambiguously including the president—from accepting things of value, plus bribery is the only named impeachable offense besides treason.
Unprecedentedly corrupt.

- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
- ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

Marco Rubio says U.S. visas can be denied for obesity, diabetes, cancer, and even retirement age because those people might “drain taxpayer resources. Amazing how that concern disappears when they’re blowing millions on luxury travel, parties, and renovations.

Trump said he's "recommending to Senate Republicans" that money going to insurance companies instead be sent to Americans to buy health care (from insurance companies).
Basically, that's what the ACA does, except money is in the form of subsidies. He just wants to send less and rename it Trumpcare

Apparently they have detected the presence of "transgender books" and are quarantining them as if they were a dangerous plague.
