Staggering levels of malevolence washing out of the Oval today…
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

The moment when 30 million American's received healthcare (2010) The moment when insurance companies had to start covering preexisting conditions, young adults could stay on their family's policy and I could trust that the small print couldn't screw me if I needed serious medical assistance. 🇺🇸

I'm listening to a great podcast called "Right Now with Perry Bacon." He's interviewing Stanford poli. sci. professor Adam Bonica who suggests a winning platform for Dems going forward is Anti-Corruption - no stock trading for legislators, no accepting $$ from millionaires/billionaires & much more.

Q: Do you acknowledge that by voting for this discharge petition today, that's a reversal for you? You could've put this on the floor months ago

Mike Johnson says he will continue working to cover up the Epstein files 👇
Mike Johnson says he's talked to Thune & he's "very confident that when this moves forward in the process - if & when it is processed in the Senate, which is no certainty - they will take the time methodically to do what we have not been allowed to do in the House. To amend this discharge petition."

It’s important that we recognize after all this time that Trump doesn’t believe in the concept of sex crimes. What’s more, he takes the idea of such crimes as a personal affront, an attack on how he has treated women his whole life.

Why would Jeffrey Epstein kill himself in jail if he had this much leverage of the one person who could give him a full pardon?

He should be out to pasture, nowhere near power.
When asked if there was anything "incriminating" in Epstein's emails, Trump pointed a finger in a female reporter's face and snapped. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.'

Any other Administration’s White House staff would never have left the flag on the ground nor would any other President not address it on the vanishingly small chance it did happen on their watch if they happened to be walking by

This speaks volumes about how Trump and his staff feels about the US

Apart from being obviously awful you can see from the flash of anger on his face that he is feeling *completely* out of control about this situation. Reminds me of the interview he bailed on in the ESPN 30 for 30, “Who Killed the USFL,” when he was confronted on his failures by a reporter
"Quiet! Quiet, Piggy."

Trump’s only yelling “release the files” because he knows the vote will force it anyway.

He spent years protecting himself and his crew, now he’s pretending he wants the truth.

No one is buying it!
