More obvious than ever that the DOJ is covering up Trump's rape allegations. Read the full 50-page #Trump #Epstein file report from House Judiciary Democrats: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Per a new report from House Democrats, Trump's DOJ is withholding evidence of his ties to Epstein and slow-walking the complete release of the Epstein files. It's time to end the cover-up and expose the truth. Remember this when you cast your ballot. www.ms.now/news/house-j...

Astonishing: Maxwell was willing to tell Blanche about some of Trump's rapes, and he ordered her not to. "Let's not talk about inviduals." WTF were they there to talk about? There's EVIDENCE on this.

Huge headlines around the world. In major US media, unreported. Something's fishy here.
Bigotry and fear of immigrants is all that's left. Promises regarding inflation, ending the war in Ukraine, not starting any new wars, no "law fare", releasing the Epstein files, are hollow. Pardons for the Jan. 6 rioters and criminals who've defrauded people for millions of $. He's a mob boss.
This is just pure racism. Republicans objectively are campaigning on little more than bigotry.
Once upon a time, after he joined the church that gave us widespread child sexual abuse and cover-ups, Vance called Trump "cultural heroin". Now he's the dealer. He's the needle. He pushes the plunger.
JD Vance Hit With Community Note After Defending Attack Ad on Amy Acton The vice president praised Ramaswamy’s ad despite court records corroborating her account of childhood sexual abuse. meidasnews.com/news/jd-vanc...
This sums up the general cognitively fracturing path of many MAGA believers. They refuse to wrap their heads around counterfactual information. They willfully choose to believe a fantasy, thinking they're saving their country, all while enabling the most corrupt administration in U.S. history.
Amy Acton’s estranged mother knew her husband had a daughter from a previous marriage who’d also accused him of rape. But when 12-year-old Amy told her mom that he was raping her, instead of concluding she was married to a pedophile rapist she concluded both girls were lying.
I'll be sure to pass this on to the next MAGA shill I see trying to blame high food prices and inflation on Biden while downplaying all Trump has done to increase the cost of everything with tariffs and a completely unsubstantiated war with Iran.
RFK Jr. suggests Americans can more easily afford groceries if they start eating liver instead of beef: "Most of the cheap cuts of meat are very inexpensive. You can buy liver or the cheap cuts."
There are 1,000 victims of sexual abuse in the Epstein files (which includes 38,000 mentions of Donald Trump, the 34-times-over convicted felon). There are only 1,500 to 2,500 trans students playing high school sports in the USA. So, guess what we're going to hide and who we're going to talk about?
Ashley Hinson: "This one really really ticked me off. Josh Turek thinks it's okay to go school and have the kids be able to change their gender pronouns at school and not tell the parents about it. That is just crazy, right?"
The GOP's compulsive liars are pulling out all the stops to prove just how disgustingly perverse and sociopathic they are—just in time for the midterms. Remember when Trump tried to claim he was women's "protector"?
President Donald Trump encouraged Republican Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy to keep running a controversial ad featuring his opponent Amy Acton’s estranged mother. https://cnn.it/4iyb3Po
Release the Epstein files! Investigate Zorro Ranch! unpresidented.substack.com/p/new-mexico...
I thought "dumocrats" had a silent "B". I know most people don't know that. I think the prez has Trump Derangement Syndrome.
Trump: "Ramaswamy put up a very powerful Ad about a mother saying that her daughter, Acton, is a liar, and much worse. The Press is trying to get him to 'take down the Ad.' Frankly, anybody whose mother spoke about daughter that way would normally lead to the daughter being precluded from serving"
So..."audacity" is a slam-dunk good, and exploiting a sick woman whose husband is a rapist and lost custody of her daughter is "calls it like it is"? This must be the same phrases MAGA used to justify the heinous lie about Haitians eating dogs. Release the Epstein files! That would be audacious.
Here is JD Vance defending the ad at his rally yesterday: "The media and Democrats are obsessed because Vivek Ramaswamy had the audacity to run a TV commercial that calls it like it is"
Has no one told this dude that Fox paid almost $800 million in its defamation suit with Dominion Voting Systems? I mean, come on, that was April 2023. ericbutterfield.substack.com/p/no-surpris...

Who could forget that RNC speech? It was End Times fantastic! i.ytimg.com/vi/KiqLGGyNu...
Yeah, but these are the same people who are protecting the pedophiles in the Epstein Files. Is anyone really surprised? RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!
The Republican speaker of the Ohio House is calling out JD Vance and Vivek Ramaswamy for their morally depraved closing arguments attacking the Democratic candidate for governor based on the fact that she was raped by her stepfather.
The Ramaswamy ad features the mother of his opponent--a highly believable woman who chose a rapist rather than protect her daughter. But Vance says the GOP needs to focus on what Dems will do if they win. That's right. Exactly. They want to release the Epstein files. apnews.com/article/elec...
I will never own an internet-connected refrigerator that runs software and needs software updates. I'd get flashbacks to Windows security patches. Ugh.
A cyberattack that caused refrigerators at French supermarkets to heat up could cost stores “millions of euros,” as investigators work to find out who is behind the hack.
We've known this for ten years--it was obvious on Facebook in 2016. Why is anyone acting surprised? www.theguardian.com/technology/2...
This is important. The social media division and chaos and anger is likely coming from Russian bots.
Two years later, this deluded imbecile--who can't tell reality from a hateful meme--still stands by the gross lie he found on the internet. substack.com/@ericbutterf...
Trump on Springfield: "All of the sudden they dropped 35,000 people in from Haiti. It didn't work out too well. Remember during the debate, I said something of the things they were doing. I was right. It turned out I was right. I won't get into the exact -- I was right."
"It's mind-boggling..." I'm guessing the subject of that phrase is not fewer vacationers, per se, but rather the CEO of dum-dum who repeatedly makes our nation more and more a banana republic (and arguably a shit hole nation). When do the plane loads of deportees from third-world countries arrive?
Hegseth's own military manual, which includes many of his bloviating speeches, also includes a promise from Trump not to fight any "dumb wars". Since many of think he meant "dum" wars, does any of this matter? Is there a smart war on the horizon?
Hegseth: "It's worth saying again so the fake news understands it. We are no longer the woke department or the weak department. Simple translation of that -- no fatties no trannies no beardos no weirdos no wimps no radicals. Just warriors."

Don't worry. If you've done nothing wrong, you have nothing to fear. Like Ronald Reagan himself said, the nine most terrifying words in the English language are, "I'm from the Government, and I'm here to help." And, now we can add: And I know everywhere you've been.
How the federal government built a massive database of license plate reader data through an anti-drug trafficking program.
I thought the MAGA GOP was all about safety. Apparently, only when it's their imaginary scourge of dog-eating or criminally violent illegal immigrants (lies that pay off). If it's computational crimes of real import, they can't be bothered, because there's money to be made in wearing blinders.

Move next door to a data center, Mike. I'm listening to a street cleaner pass my house right now. It only happens once a month. If it happened 24 hours every day and night, I'd feel very different about it. Add contaminated water and a higher energy bill and, no, there's nothing Chinese about it.
Mike Johnson says opposition to data centers "is a Chinese psyop. I really believe that. That's not a conspiracy theory."
Here's another reminder... nothing has changed in the minds of the MAGA enablers. I picked apart the lunacy of this argument when it first smacked me across the face. ericbutterfield.substack.com/p/yes-jan-6-...
I can't believe they have the nerve to still call it the Department of Justice. Given all the other renamings, why don't we just go with Department of Just Desserts?
NEW: A high profile hacking group claims it has breached multiple FBI-related services and stolen data “on all FBI employees and applicants.” A representative of the hacking group told 404 Media the data includes FBI agents’ names, home addresses, phone number, and information on their spouse.
Does Trump even exist if the press pool isn't there to lavish him with attention?
LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"

Is this his happy place—pretending to be ignorant of all of Trump's flagrant pardons of con artists, grifters, and criminals...the exact kind of people he surrounds himself with?
