Poor Donald. He's so stupid and confused.
He thinks Barack Obama (who was no longer in power) controlled the 2020 election.
And he thinks Joe Biden (who wasn't yet in power) authorized FBI agents to be sent to the Capitol on Jan 6, 2021, when DOJ reported to Trump.

America has 925 billionaires as of this year. Collectively they have a record $6.9 trillion in wealth.
The bottom 50% of Americans control $4.2 trillion in wealth.
When 925 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

NYT: “During a trip to the bathroom, they ran into Mr. Trump’s new wife, whom they had met earlier. Ms Maples clasped her hands, Ms Coleman recalled, and looked her in the eye. ‘Whatever you do, do not let her around any of these men, and especially my husband,’ she told Ms Coleman. ‘Protect her.’”

Thinking it’s impossible for a person to be cartoonishly evil, completely corrupt, AND a bumbling incompetent on the order of a Scooby Doo villain is a crazy take during the Era of Donald J. Trump, who is relentlessly all three.

Imagine interviewing a victim of torture and independently confirming the details of his torture and then being told you can’t broadcast it because the people who ordered the torture wouldn’t give their side of the story.

I'd go a bit further. The system needs no conspiracy to function. It just needs everyone to understand the direction things are going in. Bari Weiss was put there not to protect a legacy, but to align its politics differently.

NYT shows how Bari Weiss really screwed this up.
She didn't attend any of the 5 screenings of the story, which began on Dec. 12.
She only first weighed in on Thursday, and the show incorporated her suggestions.
She then waited until weekend to ask for more edits.

Among the newly-released Epstein files. This Justice Dept email from Jan 2020
'I wanted to let you know that the flight records we received yesterday reflect that Donald Trump traveled on Epstein's private jet many more times than previously has been reported"

How can an American prove their citizenship to aggressive masked agents who accost them on the street? Without “papers,” their freedom is at the whim of the agents. And even with “papers,” a growing amount of evidence shows their swift return to freedom is no guarantee.

Opinion | Trump has made America into a ‘papers, please’ country — and U.S. citizens are not exempt
Anthony L. Fisher: U.S. citizens have the right to not be manhandled in the streets by masked agents of the state. But that’s not how it’s working in Trump’s America.

The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.
