Democrats could be hurt too, as could the system Israel uses to keep a chokechain on our politicians.
Speaker Mike Johnson says Epstein file disclosures must be limited in order to “make sure we don’t do permanent damage to the political system.” Johnson just admitted the Republican political system is full of pedos.

Many people know the first part of this quote, but few know the last.
Photo of Hitler wth text that says, "Hiter's Big Lie Rule" "In view of the primitive simplicity of their minds they more easily fall a victim to a big lie than to a little one, since they themselves lie in little things, but would be ashamed of lies that were too big. Such a falsehood will never enter their heads and they will not be able to believe in the possibility of such monstrous effrontery and infamous misrepresentation in others; yes, even when enlightened on the subject, they will long doubt and waver, and continue to accept at least one of these causes as true." Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, part I chapter X

Trump said something I strongly agree with: presidential candidates should take cognitive tests.

Potential presidents should also be required to take the immigrant citizenship test, a narcissist test, and a sociopath test.

The most damning part of the video was that only 3% of those sent there had ever been convicted of a violent or potentially violent offense, according to all state criminal records, those in Venezuela, and even ICE ITSELF.

There's a drawing of a guy who looks vaguely like Mr. Rogers with cat. The caption says: "PBS isn't woke. You just grew up and became a bigoted asshole."

We need something like the Nye Committee that investigated who lobbied for World War I, but BEFORE World War III.

We were promised such an investigation into who lobbied for the Iraq War and never got it.

57% of MAGA LIKE the health insurance subsidies Republicans in Congress are fighting to kill.

70% of non-MAGA Republicans don't want them to end the subsidies.

Who is the GOP listening to on this fight?

According to the Wall St Journal, Trump ordered the Epstein cover-up because he was afraid his "friends" would be hurt by the release.

The information he saw about himself was so damaging that he wanted to tell the public it had been "doctored."

www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
WSJ: But what was the rest of Trump’s motivation for ordering the Files permanently kept from voters? According to the Journal, “he worried aloud [to aides[ that the files might have been doctored to hurt him” (emphasis supplied). The problem with this is that by that point in Spring 2025 he had already been briefed by the FBI and DOJ on the number and nature of his appearances in the Epstein Files, so if he was still concerned about the way(s) his name appeared in the Files—to the point that he was prepared to lie to American voters and claim without evidence that the Epstein Files must have been “doctored”—it means that the references to him in the Files that he covered up via a direct presidential order to the FBI and DOJ must have been excruciatingly bad. WSJ: But behind the scenes, Trump was—as he issued that order—“telling aides he was worried some of his friends might be mentioned in the files,” meaning that his order to the FBI and DOJ to block all future Epstein File releases was, and by his own admission, significantly motivated by a desire to protect his friends from disclosures about their involvement with Epstein.

Read this in an old article on Gene Sharp, the guru of non-violent political methods.

www.cnn.com/2012/06/23/w...
What gives a government – even a repressive regime – the power to rule? The answer, he realized, was people’s belief in its power. Even dictatorships require the cooperation and obedience of the people they rule to stay in charge. So, he reasoned, if you can identify the sources of a government’s power – people working in civil service, police and judges, even the army – then you know what a dictatorship depends on for its existence. Suddenly, he got it. If a dictatorship depends on the cooperation of people and institutions, then all you have to do is shrink that support

Republicans have never presented evidence in court that enough illegal immigrants are voting to change the outcome of an election.

This makes it look like ICE harassment of Latino US citizens is not a mistake, but a warm-up for this voter suppression tactic.

Racial hypocrisy on the right: you can't look at race for admissions, but you sure as hell can for ICE to give someone a beat-down.

Trump was never a great liar, but now he has forgotten what the purpose of a lie should be.

Saying you broke with a sex trafficker because he hired away your employees is like saying the sex trafficking was okay, but THIS was a step too far...

Does anyone believe the 10,000 hours of video Epstein had was just regular porn NOT surveillance of the rich and powerful?

This sounds like another lame talking point dictated by Trump himself.

www.mediaite.com/politics/com...
“I had dinner last week with the vice president. He told me that that was commercial pornography. They do not have videos of any powerful person in a compromising position. That’s the party line that they’re going with,” continued Dillon, adding: If that’s the case, why would Pam Bondi call it evidence? Why would she say it’s evidence? She’s not an idiot. She’s the attorney general. Why would you say she has files on her desk if none of these implicated anybody? It just feels like they’re covering something for sure.

Best headline of the day & reality check on fascist wannabes.

Even ICE agents know what they are doing is stupid & unnecessary.

How did Trump win all the swing states when he trailed Kamala in the polls?

Some weird sh!t was going on with the updating and certifying the voting counting machines.

Best slogans for "No Kings" protest signs?

I asked Grok and ChatGPT and got a couple of OK ones.

These are the reactions I hoped our military would have to Trump using them to put down civilian protesters.

I hope the guys who are deployed feel the same way and act accordingly.
