As page 12 of the government’s sentencing memo in Ghislaine Maxwell’s criminal case reflects, sex-abuse victim Virginia (Roberts) Giuffre was 17 years old when Maxwell, as Donald Trump put it today, “stole” Giuffre from Mar-a-Lago.

Who is Ghislaine Maxwell's new attorney?

A protégé of Alan Dershowitz.

Dersh was pals with Epstein and Maxwell.

Dersh was a frequent traveler on the Lolita Express.

Dersh defended Trump during his impeachment.

David O. Markus is a Federalist Society lawyer.

Hmmm.

Once you conclude that Trump has special status w/G-d, then you are willing to accept the divine right of Kings.

Kings have sovereign immunity and can do whatever they please.

This is the opposite of the American way, where all humans are created equal.

King T demands no more talk about Epstein.
Mike Johnson: "God miraculously saved the president's life -- I think it's undeniable -- and he did it for an obvious purpose. His presidency and his life are the fruits of divine providence. He points that out all the time and he's right to do so."

How did people come up with the divine right of kings (Trump)?

By Christian nationalists proclaiming, "I personally believe that that was divine intervention for Trump in that Butler field."

Jessica Tarlov rocks!

We need her voice now more than ever.
Silverman: Trump mocks a Fox News host for her voice. I know the challenge of having a unique voice.
Jessica Tarlov’s voice is more than just unique; it’s kind, courageous and desperately needed. Trump's attacks are indecent and brutish

Florida brings in over $127 billion a year from tourism, nearly 8% of its economy and it relies on your vacation dollars. Just like the Tesla boycott, withhold your money. Don’t fund cruelty.

People living under fascism didn’t survive by giving up joy—they protected it.

They held onto the things fascism tried to erase: art, friendship, jokes, rituals, language, memory.

Not as escapism but as resistance. As proof they were still human.

Joy isn’t frivolous under fascism. It’s strategic.
