So, Bondi, Blanche and Patel all gathered in the Situation Room to try and cajole Boebert to remove her signature. This is a very good indication that what’s in these files is very, very bad for their boss. And they failed.

Trump companies destroyed documents against court orders. Trump flushed documents at the White House. Trump is a criminal who thinks he is above the law. Even if they release the Epstein files, it's likely the most damning evidence will have been destroyed.

Best case: The President of the United States knew about a pedophilia ring and did nothing to stop it.

Medium case: He also used his office to protect the perpetrators.

Worst case: Because he was one of the perpetrators.

Former NYT reporter Landon Thomas, Jr.: Its getting scary. The stories you could tell...

Epstein: Wow

Epstein: Actually I don't think he/voters would care. Being effectively shameless is a pretty powerful weapon for a presidential candidate.

Epstein: But by being a phony rich person

Putin has almost zero chance of "winning" the war in Ukraine. Militarily, he also has almost a chance of "losing" it.

The current slaughter and massive destruction can continue for decades and will continue for decades unless something changes drastically.

The problem for Putin is not ...
Putin’s missile-flexing suggests that his confidence in Russia’s ability to win the war is not as great as he would have his various audiences believe. www.thebulwark.com/p/peace-thro...

Well kids, it only took two months to swear in Adelita. Of course, Donnie's Little Johnson did it to protect Daddy on the Epstein Files.

Epstein survivor: “It strikes me as odd that this was a campaign promise of Trump, and he has backpedaled on that...

This is an issue that has been highly politicized when it's not a political issue whatsoever.”

I think we all know why the White House has politicized this.

contrarian.substack.com/p/where-we-g... It is not an option to let bygones be bygones, shrug at the fecklessness 8 and make no attempt to address the serious fault line between the Senate as a whole and the activated Democratic base. That is a recipe for future disappointment and capitulation.
