Criminals doing criminal things, and not even being subtle about their criminal behavior. In a functioning government, not run by criminals, there would be an investigation and efforts to stop these open collusion.

I’m not watching the lying best friend of Epstein after his 3rd fake assassination attempt.

So there's this classic fable called The Boy Who Cried Wolf that I'm sure was read to all of you at the age of 5.

The further Putinisation of America. The regime seizes upon crime to justify its own criminality and supress opposition.

Sure seems like it would be easier to just release the Epstein Files than to do war and staged assassinations.

Is there someone dead in the lobby or is there someone in custody? Was the person armed or not? Did he make it into the ballroom or not? Usually there should be a pretty wide grace period on finding this out, but there are literally hundreds of reporters in the room and nobody knows shit.

A man tried to run into the building and was shot and killed by secret service. May his family receive Ashli Babbitt money and an apology. #WHCA

The two most important things to remember about the WHCA dinner: a jury found Trump raped E. Jean Carroll but because of a flaw in NYS law the legislature later fixed, it could only hold him liable for sexual abuse Trump appears a million times in the Epstein files—which he hasn't fully released

The Pope don't play.

It now explains why he attended the dinner - when he had not attended any of them previously. It was another false flag op. The stupid will fall for it again.

Who was the shooter at the WHCA dinner? A.) another fake assassination attempt B.) a MAGA reporter hoping to increase ratings C.) a Republican’s gun accidentally went off D.) a trans windmill

Suozzi: The president’s like a pickpocket. And what do pickpockets do? One guy bumps into you, and when you’re bumped into and you’re distracted, the other guy picks your pocket. We were trying to deal with the cuts to Medicaid. And what did he make the issue? Venezuela and Greenland.

Note that there's been no threat to sue over this statement. I know I would be suing for tens of millions if I was innocent.

ICE has violated almost 100 court orders. Let me say that another way. 100 times ICE was caught brazenly ignoring the law. 100 times a court told them to immediately stop. And 100 times they ignored the order. That's an out-of-control agency that shouldn't get another dime.

Anyway, here is a photo from MLK Jr's speech and he didn't have to pay anyone to show up.

The richest man owns X. The second and fourth richest men control Google. The third richest man owns The Washington Post. The fifth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

The Epstein Files were supposed to be released 123 days ago.

They paused Oversight Committee hearings the minute we started getting answers about the Epstein files. Now it’s “roundtables”: no rules, no oaths, no subpoenas. You do the math. Because the moment accountability shows up, they shut it down. The survivors deserve better.

Reports indicate Elon Musk controls a secretive network of over 90 companies and entities so he can hide how he spends his money. No wonder he wanted the Trump admin to “look into” the Corporate Transparency Act, which would have regulated those companies.

The Infowars news is funny, yes. But more importantly, it is an outright rebuke of Alex Jones' evil. It's testament to the strength and resilience of the Sandy Hook families who survived this bullshit for more than a decade as well as the Onion, which didn't give up on this for the last 18 months.

Good morning to everyone who voted for Kamala Harris.

I hope the takeover of InfoWars by @theonion.com and @timheidecker.bsky.social that resulted from the bankruptcy brought on by Alex Jones’ evil attacks on the victims of Sandy Hook brings you as much joy as it does me.
