I take it trump isn't going to the G20. He's such a wimp.
Just landed in Johannesburg for the G20. 
 
The world is fundamentally shifting — and Canada has a generational opportunity to build a stronger, more prosperous, and more sustainable future. I’m here to meet with global leaders who want to build that future with us.

Streaming Review: ALL HER FAULT. 4 episodes too long. The first 2 two had me riveted. Pace was good as story unfolded. Then the last four threw so many poorly done, convoluted scenarios at you, it was ridiculous. C-, close D

Notice how he never mentions Jamie Dimon by name. It's always JPM-C.
Man, look: The regularity with which Trump defends his relationship with Epstein by noting that he never went to Epstein's island makes me think 1) that the island is where the really heinous shit went down and 2) that Trump knows that very, very well.
he’s crashing out

ANONYMOUS if you're listening, you know what to do. Release them all!
THE SITUATION ROOM
Q: "Why are White House officials…meeting with Rep. Boebert in an effort to try to get her to not sign this petition calling for the release of the [Epstein] files?"

Leavitt: "I'm not going to detail conversations that took place in the situation room."

With all these extrajudicial boat murders, we have a president who is not only an adjudicated rapist, but also an unapprehended serial killer.

Networks and media playing to an audience of ONE are in the wrong business and not worth watching.
Trump: "Obamacare is hurting people...I'd really rather start with a fresh plate, but if it's required to keep it, we can make it much better."

'he' will definitely have something to say about that, California, and Canada. 'he' will call it a disgrace and blabber about forcing the Commissioner to rewrite the rules - Americans only.
What a series!!!! Yea L.A.!!!!!

In downtown Chicago, on my floor, neighbors are French, Italian, and Scandinavian. I love the languages. We are a very international building with amazing neighbors.
This is exactly the same argument — and, in parts, even the same language — that segregationists advanced to argue that white people had a “right” not to live next to people who were different from them.
Vance says it is "totally reasonable and acceptable" for people to not want to live next door to people who speak a different language than they do

Are the ballroom gifts to the 'government' tax deductible? Or were they made to a 501c3 or trust set up by trump? What does the transaction look like?
Donald Trump flirting with a third term is nothing new.

I broke down this dangerous idea back in March. 👇

I remember when demolishing any part of the White House was considered an act of terrorism. I hope everyone else still feels that way and is filled with the same unfathomable rage that I am right now. Al-Qaeda terrorists might have failed to attack the White House, but MAGA terrorists succeeded.

Epstein has him backed in a corner.
Trump to Israeli Knesset: "I have an idea -- Mr President, why don't give him a pardon? Give him a pardon. Whether we like it or not, this has been one of the greatest wartime presidents. And cigars and champagne -- who the hell cares about that?"

This fake Melania is a scam opportunist. There has to be a money trail.
Within the legal community, every conceivable alarm bell is ringing.

And all of them are too late.

America has no meaningful federal law enforcement anymore. It has Trump personal lawyers and a Trump political machine that masquerades as rule of law. There *is* no DOJ or FBI now.

Please share.
Both the Lindsey Halligan Nomination and the New James Comey Indictment Confirm That the DOJ and FBI Functionally No Longer Exist As Law Enforcement Agencies
The crisis at the FBI and DOJ is over; rule of law lost. The reality now is that Trump has a domestic army for his paramilitary ops (ICE) and a domestic army for his partisan law enforcement ops.
