Well, there’s his answer with regard to whether people liked not want him to resiign as president to keep doing it. He should still resign though. Just pick something other than hosting things. Fondling McDonald’s fries is always an option.

White Republicans want their supremacy back.

Absolutely psychopathic, these people. They waste time, resources, and taxpayer money to make this propaganda. May Santa shit down every one of their chimney's.

Of course Trump can't help himself. He will use every avenue, legal or otherwise, to delay, deny, withhold, obfuscate, cast doubt upon, the remaining files until he's backed into a tiny corner. Anything less is tantamount to an admission of guilt to him, and under no circumstances can he have that.

The problem with a criminal conspiracy from the perspective of this Regime is that it only takes one weak link in the chain of conspirators to start causing the whole conspiracy to unravel. Kash, having apparently lied to a congressional committee, could very well be that weak link.

This is a good piece on the lasting damage the Epstein files debacle has done to the right, damage that can never be unseen or undone. Those who still support this Regime will forever be pariahs unless and until they understand and internalize what their support has cost them, has made of them.

Yep. Best way to bury bad news is to spill it on a holiday when no one is watching, and by the time everyone's watching again, the cycle has mostly run its course. But this is the information age, and independent media and social media have a way of keeping stuff like this alive for a LONG Time.

Herrless Himmler hates it when his Nazi party employers are exposed as Nazis.

I don't trust any numbers the US government puts out, because I guarantee they're all fudged in some way when they're not just pulled straight from Trump's ass.

Let's be honest here, he wants an entire House and Senate that essentially functions like staff members. And he almost entirely has it on the GOP side, with very few exceptions. But Johnson's days as speaker are numbered, if not by sheer incompetence, then by the mid-terms.

He does this every time a late night host has hurt his fee-fees with particularly good material, and he doesn't want his fee-fees hurt any more. The first amendment is such a painful thing when you're on the critical end of it, isn't it, Donnie?

It's just more blatant fascism plucked straight from Nazi Germany and North Korea. He especially loathes the first amendment, and would love nothing more than to do away with it. Fortunately he doesn't have the votes to remove it from the constitution, and never will.

The US hasn't been diplomatic to anyone since January 20th of this year. The firing of a bunch of ambassadors is simply on-brand for him, and given the ambassadors he's already put in place—clueless, dumb, unqualified morons—and his penchant for isolationism, he clearly doesn't want real diplomacy.

So this happened tonight.

I don't know who Brigitte Gabriel is, but her head is clearly affixed to her shoulders by a string.

"We have investigated ourselves and found that we are innocent." Same energy.

60 Minutes: "If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine."

Grampa Cankles is on another tirade again, thinks GDP is the economy.

That's not how appropriations work, Duffer. Maybe you might wanna brush up on the law a bit.

If at any time you find you can't read what I'm saying, it's because I've been redacted.

Battleship Potrumpkin.

How long 'til Trump wants it quietly removed?

...and that 1 will be enough for the other 152 to say, "See? Vaccines don't work!"

Surprise. They all lied.

I mean, there's vengeance enough to go around in the Trump regime, but it sure as hell ain't the good kind.

This is going to cause a massive uproar. I mean apocalyptic. What does he expect to gain here? He siezes their pay, they can no longer pay rent, they get kicked out, will probably lose their job, and then the government won't get a dime. So what will they have accomplished besides ruining lives?

There is some concern bout the authenticity of this postcard at the moment, so take it with a grain or two of salt. If true however, this is pretty bad for Trump.

I'm sure RFKJr will be along any minute to explain why the resurgence of flesh-eating screw worms is a good thing and everyone should appreciate them.

Oh, here we go again with the "fake news" cycle, where it'll go from "It's all fake," to "Even if it's real, it's not a big deal," to "Even if it's a big deal, Clinton did worse," to...

Still way too high.

I hate these AI "hosts" but the underlying message is correct.

It's all totally fine with them as long as it doesn't effect them. And then it does.

Russia and North Korea are frankly two of the most corrupt countries in the world right now, but America is certainly in good company there, too, and getting worse by the minute.

Want the tea on the leaked 8th tranche of Epstein files? Want to read them for yourself? Here's the scoop. (Thanks @kty38.bsky.social) Definitely confirmation that they're redacting way more than just victim names, in defiance of the law.

$3,000 in what? Rubles? Monopoly money? Yeah, don't get suckered in, Trump never pays out.

If the accidentally aired-in-Canada 60 Minutes piece wasn't enough to infuriate you about the CECOT debacle, here's some personal stories told from the people who survived it.

Paper prints something he doesn't like? National security threat. Someone with an audience says something he doesn't like? National security threat. Country has oil? National security threat! Greenland and Canada existing? NATIONAL SECURITY!

You can always count on right-wing incompetence to screw up their own cover-up. THE BEST PEOPLE.

Trump is, and always has been, desperate for validation. He's a small, desperately insecure man who will take any and every opportunity to have others lavish him with approbation, even if he has to tell them to do so. Rallies, fake awards, the Kennedy Centre, congressional tug sessions...

Or just make it a superset. The Weiss Effect: Like the Streisand Effect, but for something extremely consequential that goes mega-viral.

It's not outright damning, but it sure as hell is circumstantial, and goes to Trump's extremely close ties to Epstein and Maxwell.

Passed that the CECOT 60 Minutes episode was spiked? Canada to the rescue.

The 1st amendment, which was ratified in 1791, included the Establishment Clause, which specifically forbid congress from establishing an official religion in America. So, no. America was not a Christian nation, is not currently a Christian nation, and, as long as 1A exists, never will be.

PP is at it again, paying BS lip service to the affordability crisis with the most ridiculous response he could manage in the moment. This is why no one likes you, PP. You're an idiot, you assume everyone else is as stupid as you, and you feed them this BS with such arrogance.

Trump is in the files. He's absolutely in the files. Two things: A) If his name is in any of the files that have been released so far, it's been redacted. (Except one instance where they missed a spot.) B) His name is undoubtedly all over what's left to release. That's why.

Yes, Tiny. That will probably happen. It should happen. It needs to happen. It won't result in his removal unless by some miracle the Dems can take a supermajority in the Senate, too, so you won't lose your best bud. What WILL happen is that some measure of sanity will return to the House.

Just a reminder to *everyone* in this Regime that Donnie is the one with immunity for official acts. None of you have it. Enjoy the "yule logs" in your stockings.

Massie can't read the room. Even MAGA folk are overwhelmingly demanding the full release of the Epstein files, so even on Xitter, a poll like this is guaranteed to backfire.

Carney's right here. Barton's trying to be antagonistic here and Carney isn't falling for it. If Carney didn't get the "best deal" with Trump, who cares?. We're making deals with loads of other countries many of which are better than anything we'd get out of Trump. It's still a win for Canada.

Pretty sure Bondi knows this isn't going to go away, much as she'd love for it to. The name of this game is delay, delay, delay. Parcel out chunks of it in order of least to most damning for the guilty people in those files, redacting as much as they can as they go.
