Democracies don't end with a bang. They are slowly chipped away at until they become something else. Don't be fooled into thinking it can't happen here.
I said "redacted", but I should have said "scrubbed". You don't put a thousand FBI agents on an assignment just to draw black lines over certain incriminating words.

I'm not holding my breath. You can't give a criminal organization access to the evidence for 10 months and expect it to survive.

Unfortunately this may be the only way we truly find out what's in the files. Anything that gets released under him will be redacted within an inch of its life.

Rule #1 for White House press pool: Thou shall not question Dear Leader in a way that forces him to acknowledge any of his massive failures.

What a great time to be a white-collar criminal in America.

I guess Vought is hitting his goal to "traumatize" federal employees. 😠

US president tells large corporation to make sure they don't have to pay their employees a living wage while his party is making sure they also can't get any government assistance.

The shutdown prevented them from increasing the number of helpful bills they passed in 2025 from the current total of zero.

It's a fun quote, but he never actually said it. 😕

He flipped a bunch of times but was a registered Democrat from 2001-2009 until he realized that he could easily trick Republican voters into supporting him.
November 17, 2025 at 9:35 PM
I wonder why he never admits that he was a registered Democrat until 2009.

Intentionally creating a problem then announcing that you saved everyone with the solution is official Republican policy.

Massie said that his goal was to get a veto-proof majority, so even Republicans know what's coming. But here's one source:

The Epstein files and Congress: What happens next?
Democrats and four Republicans reached 218 signatures needed to force a floor vote on a bill to release the Jeffrey Epstein files within 30 days. Here’s why there’s still a long road ahead.

"Show me the man, and I'll show you the crime" ~ Lavrentiy Beria, head of Stalin's secret police.

Not sure how Trump's directive is any different. Like Stalin, he wants his people to investigate people, not crimes.

Every legal analysis out there says he has the ability to veto.
November 14, 2025 at 2:56 PM
He has veto power, so probably not. But his veto will speak volumes.

Every time a new Epstein email is released, a Republican gets a spine.

It's almost comical how pathetic their coordinated talking points are becoming. They're just throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks.
November 13, 2025 at 2:55 PM
Probably because too many of them were directly involved in it.
November 13, 2025 at 1:49 AM
If this isn't an off-ramp for Republicans, there will never be one.

I'm gonna stock up on weed. Then vote.

So they're taking away healthcare, vaccines, and CBD/hemp. They're attacking Tylenol and Advil. They want Americans to be completely reliant on prescription drugs. The pharmacy lobbyists are getting everything they paid for.

The 8 Senators on that list have a combined net worth of well over $150 million. Clearly that's not enough. 🙄
