Trump: Since 1978 the Kennedy Center honors have been amongst the most prestigious awards. I wanted one, never able to get one. I would have taken it. I waited and waited and waited and I said to hell with it, I'll become chairman. I will give myself an honor. Next year we'll honor trump, okay?

Oh, my.
Breyer goes off on DOJ, saying the govt's "new national police force" is going to "intimidate" in order to bring about "certain types of behavior."
"And that's what's violative" out of the Posse Comitatus Act.
The law's designed "to get the federal govt out of states."

This week, @realDonaldTrump referred to Alaska being Russian, twice. Today, he called St. Petersburg Leningrad.
If this were the “Manchurian Candidate”, the President would be exposed as a Russian agent.

1. This week, the FBI released its comprehensive crime report for 2024, which revealed that both VIOLENT CRIME and PROPERTY CRIME reached their LOWEST LEVELS SINCE THE 1960s
This a massive story. But you might not have heard about it, even if you follow the news closely.

On right:
Maxwell said same about Epstein, under oath.
DOJ 2022: "Simply put, the defendant lies when it suits her."

If trump did nothing “concerning” while spending time with sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein - as Ghislaine Maxwell says - then there shouldn’t be a problem releasing the Epstein files in their entirety (with survivors’ names and PII redacted.)

In 2016, Ghislaine Maxwell falsely stated, under oath, that she was not aware that Jeffrey Epstein recruited underage girls for sex (you know, the ones she was actually recruiting on his behalf). She was charged with two counts of perjury for this.
