As I write this , credible sources are reporting that, after a side conversation with the Bully Brigade, Nancy Mace emerged in tears. She is expected to pull out her vote for the release of the Epstein files, once again giving the Republican war machine something else to cut its teeth on.
They truly are a party of psychopaths. It’s not about truth. It’s about winning, and doing whatever to whomever whenever and wherever must be done to win, all just to prove they can.
Thanks for the summary. Also thanks for the salute to Grijalva who deserved to be treated with more respect by our Mikey Johnson who deserves far less respect.
I'm much more interested in the side characters in these emails. What do you make of Wolff apparently serving as Epstein's adviser/strategist? Is this normal biographer behavior? It struck me as quite weird; if anything the vibes are even more off than I usually get from him.
I'm also wondering exactly what Bannon meant by "connective tissue". Jim Acosta said it was about nobody connecting Epstein to Donald, but "tissue" suggest Epstein is the middle bit of the chain. Who or what is he connecting? It can't just mean Donald to girls, we have plenty of evidence he could have created his own supply (re: modeling agency, Miss USA) if he'd felt like it. Epstein seems to be the social nexus of a lot of very wealthy and powerful people, many of whom wouldn't normally give Donald the time of day, so maybe that?
The plot thickens. GQ magazine ran the photos of the kind of woman he picked to stand with him as he is sworn in. Donnie chose to involve himself in pagents like "Miss" Universe because he is richer than most men who would love to get the chance. In Donnie's world girls are creatures for men to control. In Donnie's world they are either strippers or nobodies.
Is this really a surprise? Haven’t we all known what a vile abuser he is? My only question is what was Melania’s role? Was Melania “trafficked” to Trump by Epstein? I don’t care, do you? But again, the media goes wild and then simmers down. The NY Times said, “Some of the posts were innocuous.” Innocuous? Meanwhile, Trump’s total descent into DEMENTIA gets ignored! We all know he’s a sexual deviant and abuser. Is this going to change anything?
If Trump is supposedly going to run for a third term, several things need to be true: that he’s still alive and that he can still walk and that he can maintain some semblance of sanity. I’m doubtful on all of those, especially the last one since he already is showing he’s not on this planet.
Aaron Parnas is reporting a mass exodus of GOP legislators to the side of the Democrats on releasing the files. About time. If says a lot about the GOP that now they're abandoning the sinking ship rather than when the whole mess started. I hope this is the beginning of justice for the victims.
I should be used to it by now, but I still find it amazing that your uncle can be on-camera for an interview and blatantly lie, no matter the topic. I've heard some rumblings from the right. It seems like people are starting to be unhappy that he's not keeping his promises. Yes, he shut the border and is now having ICE arrest anyone of any age if they look Hispanic. This includes entire families, including children. But . . . he hasn't lowered the price of gas, the price of groceries (He made fun of the word "grocery".) or lowered inflation. People care about things like that which affect their everyday lives. If he keeps lying, which is all he knows, he's going to be in trouble really quickly.
Thank you for providing this transcript, Mary. I find it easier (with a hearing problem) to read, rather than listen, although I love Saturday's mocking.
I believe this is the beginning of the end! I'm optimistic! More emails to come and votes from the House and Senate!

They really are a party of psychopaths. It’s frightening and I can’t believe people aren’t storming the capital.

Correction: Adelita Grijalva
It's Spanish, so the j is pronounced as an h. But it is spelled with a j.

And when Trump called Epstein a creep and a pedo, Epstein replied,”Takes one to know one.”
Some of the media unquestionably deserve what they are getting. But not ALL media!

I don't have the flexibility to insure being able to hear live online commentaries.
So ... what the fuck am I now paying for?
Just pointing out the obvious here.
If they can convince people to believe that tariffs are not taxes and grocery prices are not increasing, then what?
