Just to answer my own question, it’s between 1700 to 1900 miles from Venezuela to the US by sea. In an open boat. With an outboard engine. A small, open boat supposedly carrying enough drugs to make the trip not only profitable, but worthwhile while also carrying fuel, food and water for the crew

Happy Thanksgiving and welcome to the holiday season to all!

I am 64, and I honestly cannot recall another president calling for individuals to be jailed. Incidents investigated, yes, but individuals jailed?

This is what I see as weaponizing the Justice Dept., something Republicans seem to have been claiming over the past few years.

Interesting how Trump is spiraling down over the trove of documents released from the Epstein estate, documents the DOJ did not consider to be evidence in investigating Epstein. What do you think will happen with the release of documents they DID consider evidence?

The CR that the senate can’t get passed expires in two weeks, on Nov 21. It was never meant to be a permanent solution, it was meant to give the House more time to finish the budget they were supposed to have done by the end of September.

The CR the Senate can’t pass is a red herring, meant as a distraction for Speaker Johnson so he doesn’t have to swear in AZ Rep Grijalva.

So, essentially, Speaker Johnson is keeping the House out of session so the Epstein files are not released.

Just how damaging are they?

Happy Halloween (or welcome to the weekend if you don’t celebrate Halloween)

I’d like to recognize the Trump administration for it leading the way, finally, resulting in a cease fire between Israel and Hamas. I would find it extremely funny if the Nobel committee awarded the peace prize to … the negotiators of the cease fire, not Trump himself.

Assuming the peace holds.
