Washington is being treated to a performative and tightly directed show - a dance - in which little peeks of leg are flashed, then discreetly covered again lest the audience become inappropriately shocked. The probability that the showmaster himself will be exposed is zero

If trump defecates in his pants out of sheer terror, who would know? This guy youtube.com/shorts/7LKTu...

Why anyone thought that trump's DOJ would present any document, photograph or even verbal statements that would depict him in any way involved with Epstein, is absurd. After he is out of office for any reason, there will be a geyser of incriminating evidence for us to see

What happened with the Epstein files is exactly what happens in a completely corrupt police state open.substack.com/pub/luciantr...

Yesterday's little peek (less than 1% of the total - and most of that blacked out) of the Epstein files will probably go down in history as a great blunder by republicans. The gap between promise and reality is like the Grand Canyon and cannot fail to be noticed

And the real question is how can trump and his staff possibly think this miserly release will be enough to sway anyone but them?

Once the Hubble and James Webb telescopes began sending back images of the universe, organized religion got sandbagged

So, once again, trump has ignored another court order; this one to release ALL of the documents related to Epstein. Apparently, only pictures of trump's enemies like Clinton appear in photographs that might be incriminating. Emphasis on Might

Seriously - is anyone surprised that only a portion of the Epstein files have been released today? The odds that Epstein’s busom buddy would allow anything remotely incriminating him were about zero

Well, you could have knocked me over with a feather...

When trump's final occupation of the White House finally ends (after he leaves, probably on a gurney) everything he has touched will have turned to something like the remains of a digested meal - most specifically the rubble of his unfinished ballroom which he will have gotten bored with long before

The thing that always amazes me is how much trust some people have in bitcoin even while bad actors like North Korea are actively stealing it

The Wiles interview is so fascinating in that it’s like what a particular kind of woman would say about a husband she’s been married to for many years - and still loves. There is truth is what she says, even thought it’s not enough to divorce him

The only problem here is that he's saying this to the criminals who did the scheming. They already know what he's talking about and were probably just grinning as he spoke

There is absolutely no doubt we have a genuine Manchurian Candidate now actually occupying the White House - America has been betrayed. Here's proof open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

What is so puzzling to me about trump's red-hatted zombies is their love for Russia. This is not breaking news, to be sure, but it is the most terrifying thing about him. Anyone who can make Putin, America's biggest mortal enemy, seem benign to his addled followers has special powers indeed

Strongly doubt that Pootin will accept any peace deal that doesn't leave Ukraine defenseless in the long term, much to trump's dismay

The republicans are in a fractious muddle over health care as the end of the year looms over them with a pitiless look in its eye. My bet? A one-year extension of Obamacare at the very last minute

The Hegseth-led and trump-inspired Pentagon "investigation" of Sen. Mark Kelly is such a vengeful and vicious attack on an honorable American that it is bound to blow back on its instigators. It will stain them, not him, and could easily rebound against them with a landslide vote for Democrats

Pardon me for asking, but just what is a presidential library good for in the first place? Isn't a regular old public library good enough? Apparently Biden's is having difficulty getting off the ground and who in holey hell knows what books trump will have in his

Under Trump, the U.S. is abandoning advocacy of democracy (shutting down Voice of America, etc.), abandoning our democratic allies in Europe, and for the past year has abandoned Ukraine to the mercies of the Butcher of Moscow. This is a 5-alarm fire for democracy. hartmannreport.com/p/is-trumps-...

Wake up call to everyone who still thinks the Epstein files, the Jan 6th files, or 2nd strike video will ever be released. NOT by the same people that are guilty of the crimes in those files & video evidence. There will NEVER be full accountability. Our Govt is ineffective & the laws are too weak.

If even half of this is true, we are under a tidal wave of shit: www.rawstory.com/raw-investig...

Interesting how many officials in Washington claim Russia is winning in Ukraine, yet the front lines barely move at all... could it just be wishful thinking by republicans?

The National Trust is suing trump to halt construction of his "ballroom". If they succeed in delaying this desecration long enough to outlast his presidency it would not only save our heritage but allow time to repair the reckless damage he has caused

The idea that this man will still be on his feet three years from now is strange indeed open.substack.com/pub/luciantr...

Zelensky: We held a meeting of the “Coalition of the Willing”, a key format for Ukraine’s current and future security support. We're working to ensure that security guarantees include robust European deterrence components and are reliable. It's important that the U.S. stands with us in support.
