I wonder if former Miss Switzerland had accused Barrack Obama of brutally raping her instead of Trump would the media then run the story. You bet they would. This is abhorrent behaviour by the media. Total neglect of their duties and a massive failure to the public.

i like that the big divide on this post is whether people read it, correctly, as "*run explicitly* on banning online gambling" or whether they ignored the modifying verb and adverb and read it as "i don't think anyone should ban online gambling"

i don't think anyone should run explicitly on banning online gambling but i do think that a democratic-led government should just quietly take steps to undermine the industry and create an inhospitable regulatory environment

Wonder how many stories are out there like this one? Trumpy was a really scary and horny dude. How many children did he molest? We know he did, just not how many. But i'm betting it's over 100.

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

From the Dems House Judiciary report:

Brandi Buchman@brandibuchman.bsky.social

Katie Johnson, 13, reported Epstein and Trump argued over who would take her virginity, and Epstein became angry and violently raped her when he learned that Donald Trump had done so. As shown by official FBI interview notes, Johnson, through her attorney, reported these alleged crimes to the FBI.

Hegseth said there are no trans troops at Quantico. But when Sgt. Damien Contreras—10 years in, three deployments—faced discharge, three Marines marked him “remains qualified.” Boards have kept troops in 9 of 12 cases. The policy changed; his performance didn’t. They stood by a fellow Marine. Bravo.

People Magazine is covering it while the Washington Post's top political story is "Trump defends White House redecorating — and Cheesecake Factory — from Obama’s mocking," and the Trump-Epstein story is nowhere to be found on its site. people.com/former-miss-...

Who's Next? The world could become a better place this Tuesday, if Israel votes Trump’s friend Netanyahu out of power. Expats are traveling THOUSANDS OF MILES to vote against him! Israel does not allow the majority of its citizens living abroad to vote by post.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.
