The renovations will be a shitshow. If I had $, I’d pay reporters to cover it as its own beat.
Trump can’t produce anything of value or quality. (He even hired RFK as penance for the COVID vaccine.)
He can make crap. He can fake healthcare plans and remote border walls. But he can’t fake this.

About one in five Americans say they would like to leave the U.S. and move permanently to another country if they could. This heightened desire to migrate is driven primarily by younger women.

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

Wasn’t expecting the Epstein scandal to blow up the New York Times but sure, why not
To recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015
What did the NY Times editors know about this offer?

We wouldn't even have to be *that serious* of a country given everything he did leading up to the release of that video.
He scammed charities, openly discussed banging his own daughter, laundered money for the mob, called for the execution of innocent boys. And that's before he ran!

It all would have been much easier if, as would have happened if we were remotely a serious country, it all ended with the Access Hollywood interview.

Again, I know Vance is a convert and who knows what the customs of the savage Scots-Irish are but someone needs to explain to him that it’s unusual for the Bishop of Rome to criticize your personal behavior this frequently
BREAKING: At Pope Leo XIV’s urging, U.S. Catholic bishops just delivered the strongest rebuke of a sitting president in Church history — condemning Trump-Vance raids as “inhumane” and “dehumanizing” in a 216–5 vote.
NEW: At Pope Leo’s Urging, Bishops Issue Historic Rebuke of Trump’s Raids
Nearly all U.S. Catholic bishops united in Baltimore to denounce the Trump administration’s “inhumane” deportation campaign — a near-unanimous, unprecedented moral stand against a sitting president.

There is absolutely no person whose presence in that conspiracy could possibly make me say "they're too important to prosecute" or whatever. Give them a trial, because due process is important, and once they're found guilty, we can have a parade between the courthouse and the prison.
