Ouch. But it's true.
Massie: “[Speaker Johnson is] trying to say the rich, powerful men who flew to Epstein Island are the victims now. The only way a ‘Christian man’ can stand up there and sell a lie like that is if he’s already decided in his head that protecting them is somehow okay.”

He shouldn't be our guest. That's the point.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

Yep. Why it's taken Bondi this long is a mystery. My other theory, that Trump somehow emerges a hero and savior rather than violent rapist of children, looks more and more likely.

Trump just pardoned Dan Wilson, a former Jan. 6 defendant, for a second time — this time on gun charges not related to his conduct during the Capitol riot.
The White House says Trump pardoned Wilson again because the gun charges stemmed from an investigation into him after Jan. 6.

Too late. Maybe a decade or so after his fetid remains have released their stench we can consider it but the ignorance that is MAGA is not going away anytime soon.
“You and I and most Americans can reasonably insist he doesn’t represent us, but at what point does that become insufficient? In other words, is there a point when we cannot overcome the accelerating moral collapse resulting from his repugnant actions?”

Why didn't Pam Bondi investigate Jeffrey Epstein when she was Florida’s AG from 2011 to 2019?! As Florida's AG, Bondi made prosecuting sex traffickers who preyed on children a top priority. Yet for some reason she never investigated Epstein. My article: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/we-need-to...

$50 says that the Epstein files have recently been modified to describe Trump as a hero who saved 13 year old girls, not raped and beat them.
1) Trump can release the Epstein files at any time
2) He knows he is about to lose this week’s House Epstein files vote so wants to act like he endorses it
3) With all of Trump’s Epstein files coverup, we should settle for nothing less than a trusted special prosecutor
