"Journalism turned into gossip currency, and truth only drops when it benefits their careers, not the victims." - Yes, 100%
Michael Wolff sat on Epstein info like many in media do—silence buys future interviews, access, and book deals. The elite protect each other until it’s profitable to expose. Journalism turned into gossip currency, and truth only drops when it benefits their careers, not the victims.
Hey so it's also extremely weird that "journalist" Michael Wolff was giving Jeffrey Epstein advice on how to handle his pedophilia PR

since we're doing USPS discourse again, a reminder of what Dems should be saying
"the USPS is a miracle. it's in the constitution. for the price of a single stamp you can send a letter across the country, from Hawaii to Maine. Trump is trying to take that away from you. He's attacking Christmas cards and wedding invitations. It's un-American and it has to stop."

1. I’m HIGHLY skeptical of this whole thing.

2. No details or motive given.

3. Comes days after scathing reports showing Patel’s incompetence, corruption, and malfeasance.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

1. Jared Kushner's trip to Moscow yesterday was not just unethical; it was illegal.

You cannot accept tens of millions of dollars from foreign governments and simultaneously conduct high-level diplomacy for the federal government.

It says it right in the Constitution.
Kushner’s Moscow mission wasn’t just corrupt. It was unconstitutional.
Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law, has been traveling the world to participate in high-stakes foreign policy negotiations on behalf of the president.

Folks look at you like you’re crazy when you say we’re in the midst of the worst, most unprecedented Article I constitutional crisis in American history, & then it’s another day where Mike Johnson admits he’s completely incompetent.
RAJU: If defenseless survivors were killed, would that constitute a violation of the laws of war?

MIKE JOHNSON: I'm not going to prejudge any of that. I was pretty busy yesterday. I didn't follow a lot of the news.

This is all to say: my whiteness is transactional. I have known my whole life that to be "white enough" is to hide. Is to never talk about my family. Is to never learn Hebrew or go to temple. Is to carry the family pain.

The people who ask the question are always on the side of evil.

If your doctor decided you needed an MRI (indicating concern about something serious) and you claim that you didn't ask why or what part of your body he wanted to look at, you are:

Schmitt’s argument is unintentionally revealing.

The “color revolutions” were non-violent, pro-democracy political movements aimed at ending autocratic regimes in former Soviet bloc nations.

If the Democrats are leading a “color revolution,” then Trump is an autocrat & Schmitt is pro-autocrat.

The only people who endlessly complain about color revolutions are dipshit leftie campists and Q-pilled right-wingers and the thing they have in common is they're both huffing Russian propaganda

An official government account using the word “remigration” is not normal. It’s an imported term from European far-right movements that refers to mass expulsion. Democracies do not use population-purification language. #holdfast #SteadyState
