Pamela Jo Bondi has decided that none of these photos of Donald Trump with Jeffrey Epstein (or Trump's quote about Epstein) exist. If you saw them, you are instructed to forget them. Do as you are told.

The country with the most sophisticated intelligence capabilities in the world, and the president is holding up
"a months-old blog post" from an obscure, conspiracy-mongering site "featuring a photo from the Democratic Republic of Congo" while making allegations against South Africa to its president
“Look, here's burial sites all over the place. These are all white farmers that are being buried,” Donald Trump said during today’s White House meeting with South Africa’s president.

The image he was holding up, however, is of the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Ok, I did a deep dive into this EO and here's what I came up with. This EO, if it's upheld by the courts, will allow employers to discriminate, legally, against anyone who isn't an able bodied straight white Christian male.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

Today in What the Rump?

European countries are asking where millions of dollars they had given to USAID for several programs has gone, and are receiving no answer from the US govt. Sounds quite efficient! Surely this won't help us gain more enemies. 😡🙄😞
