The extremely simple fact is that Jeff Epstein was the most notorious child sex trafficker in history, and the President of the US was his close personal friend for decades

Acting like this is complicated is absurd. The man knew what Epstein did, didn't care, and participated

2/4. The entire practice of the Holocaust of the Jews involved zones of statelessness. It is easier to move people away from law than it is to remove law from people. Almost all of the killing took place in artificially created stateless zones.

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind.

An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one."

The other said, "Take him anyway."

So they did.

RFK believes that he is one of the genetic elect and that it is a violation of the natural order to either impose on the genetic elect with public health OR prevent nature from taking its course with those who are predestined to biological damnation.
The U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services has repeatedly claimed: “If you’re healthy, it’s almost impossible to die from an infectious disease in modern times.”

That is dangerously false.

No consent theory can do the most basic work that any theory of the 14th amendment has to perform: ensuring the citizenship of enslaved people and their children. Because obviously, no consent. We are perplexed that Wurman is perplexed by this very obvious problem. 8.

In recent years, Judge Boasberg has:

- ordered the release of Hillary’s emails

- ensured Trump’s tax returns never became public

- restricted disclosure from the Mueller investigation

- limited disclosure of grand jury material in the Trump classified docs case.

The resistance, he ain’t.
Leavitt: This judge is a Democrat activist. He was appointed by Barack Obama

Reporter: He was originally appointed by George W. Bush and elevated by Obama. Feel I should clear that up.

Nayib Bukele just said that 238 people he claimed were members of TdA arrived in El Salvador TODAY.

This may mean that DHS did NOT adhere to Judge Boasberg's order that planes in the air be turned back. If so, it would be--by far--the biggest act of defiance against a judge's order.

A Nazi sympathizer with suspect ties to Russia bought himself a President.

And for some reason, that President decided to reverse 60 years of security to capitulate to Russia.

Does that describe it?

Now why do you think it is that DOJ dismissed charges against SpaceX WITH prejudice but Emil Bove plans to hold charges over Eric Adams' head for almost four more years?

What Ilan Wurman and Randy Barnett are doing isn’t best understood as legal scholarship. It’s more like wartime public relations, or like SEO. It’s creating bullshit that will give dishonest judges a pretext to pretend that there is a serious constitutional dispute. They’re fascism’s fixers.
I want to highlight just how closely the Wurman-Barnett arguments in 2025 parallel those made by the United States against Wong Kim Ark’s citizenship in 1898. And rejected. I do not think this can be coincidence.

DOGE recommended firing workers at:

-FDA, which oversees Neuralink

-FAA, which oversees SpaceX

-USAID, which probed Starlink

-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.

"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

And this from an era when kookoo constitutional arguments were part of normal policy debate.

Even amidst such a radically opportunistic constitutional culture, the nondelegation champions have identified ~seventeen (17) PAGES on which nondelegation-friendly sentences appear.

Just going to say this again, but general aviation accidents are extremely common. Commercial airliner crashes (especially with fatalities) are a completely different story.

I think this is right. Q is whether he retains enough intel and military capability to wreak havoc for Europe in the meantime.
All the talk of what the US will do or won't do towards Europe or Asia misses the point that the Trump administration is ripping out so much of the basic wiring of the its state capacity that very soon the US won't be able to do very much at all
"We could find a trillion dollars (of government waste and fraud), but we're being hindered by the courts," adds President Trump. "The Department of Education is going to be a disaster."

Biggest part of crooked Adams deal which is only barely being noted is that the charges aren't really dropped (not in the ordinary sense of the word). They're put on hold with the letter explicitly saying they'll be considered again after November. So Adams has ten months to perform for his freedom.

Over on Xitter, Trump's National Security Adviser says that if you ignore the things Sleepy Joe Biden achieved for which Trump is taking credit and ALSO the two fatal military crashes, he's having almost as much success as Mike Flynn did WHILE being criminally investigated.
