You ignore the red flags when your boss’s boss’s boss goes to the island paid for by the red flags.

The New York Times reported that fragments that fell from the 155mm shell landed on vehicles parked on a ramp on Interstate 5 – a major artery through southern California – which governor Gavin Newsom had ordered closed after learning that military officials had no plans to close the freeway

No intention of closing the freeway for a live fire exercise right above it.

Theologically, the answer is that God the creator gave us the world and free will. We built this rolling disaster of corruption and self destruction by handing control of the world over to evil people.

The more practical answer is that people using God to advance evil agendas have drowned out honest discussions of spirituality and religion, especially in the online world.

The oligarchs have always sided with the Nazis. Look up the business plot and Smedley Butler, the hero who turned down the role of Fuhrer

Wait until the $200 billion they put into ICE starts paying off. This shit is just testing the waters. By the midterms, they’ll be talking about “illegals” voting in elections and turning the ICE-enforced police state loose on the polls to intimidate voters.

In Nazi Germany, the “legal” enforcers stood over you while you either checked voting for the Nazi party or not. Russia’s elections are similar. America’s elections have had problems over the centuries, but they’ve never been that. Not on a national level across the board. It’s the KKK burning crosses everywhere all at once.

Is Trump trying to use Vance’s complete and utter lack of charisma to kill the Epstein story? Make every response as dry as trying to fuck a couch cushion.

Interesting strategy from Trump, but I wonder if Vance’s handlers like making him the face of the Epstein coverup.

Netanyahu and a disturbing amount of others see all Palestinians as Hamas. They aren’t starving civilians to death to pressure Hamas. They’re genociding all Palestinians on purpose because they don’t see them as human beings. It’s unspeakably horrible, and it’s being silenced.

The mainstream is hoping that when all Palestinians are dead or displaced they won’t have a voice to object.

The American experiment has well and truly failed in the Information Age. Emotional ties to national politics guide most voters far more than self-interest or even oblivious interests of the local community. Gerrymandering has silenced local communities but has also become a weapon yielded that cannot be ignored. “When they go low, we go high” was naive back then. It’s suicidal now.

Gerrymandering is just a symptom of the monolithic fascism that is designed to funnel tax breaks to and end corruption investigations of the oligarchs who run everything. They steal our money and rape children right in front of our eyes, and they get away with it.

It would be nice to think Texas will do the right thing and provide representation, but they won’t. Blue state governors and legislatures need to adjust accordingly.

The beauty of the 300-year-old American federalist system is that states enjoy a wide range of special rights to be ultimately determined by the current makeup of the Supreme Court with absolutely no checks on their power. Supreme Court Justices are lifetime appointees who can be bribed publicly and are free to lie about it, and there is no mechanism to question their ethics or remove them from their positions outside of a full impeachment like with Trump.

The state supreme courts have a good deal of power, but only to the extent that the federal Supreme Court doesn’t take it away. I can’t imagine a more fertile ground for fascism to be experimented upon legally if people of conscience do nothing.

I’d think Republican senators would be a better answer. Fewer of them, and they tend to have been in power much longer. The percentage of pedophiles has to be staggering.

I’d take Buttigieg over Trump, but I wouldn’t support him in the primary. McKinsey is a fucking terrifyingly militantly corporate entity. Buttigieg would have to distance himself from them to a high degree to deserve any trust moving forward as a candidate.

As an official seeking the release of the Epstein files, I support him and everyone else making the call 100%.

Never forget Buttigieg is a McKinsey guy. His folksy Howdy Doody shit is an act. He is not on the side of the people.

Grill her for 11 hours straight like the BENGHAZI hearings. She won’t be able to handle it, not even slightly.

The playbook for blowing up a controversy was established long ago. Apply it to the Epstein files, which are the actual proof of pedophilia among the “elites.” They’re monsters, and they need to be exposed.

This was and always has been the biggest story there is.

Everybody has speculated where the line is for Trump supporters. In 2015, the line was 30% of all Republicans. That’s comical in hindsight. He promised a new beginning to rural voters who have been screwed over by the system for generations at this point with no end in sight.

A decade later, everyone forgot the possibility that there may be a line. Raping children. That’s the line. Years of dehumanizing Trump supporters has blinded everyone to the fact that they believe they’re cleaning up a deeply flawed system. A system run by evil Democratic pedophiles who worship Satan.

Finding out that the god emperor who is supposed to be the savior of the country is an actual child rapist shakes their belief in him to the core. He promised to release the Epstein files and bring justice to all these evil wealthy monsters. The fact that he is one of those monsters is his Achilles Heel.

This Epstein issue really could be different. The “democrats are pedophiles and Trump is going to stop them” myth is fundamental to MAGA. I don’t think they realize how foundational that was to their movement.

Meanwhile, Trump is clearly a pedo, ICE grabs kids at the border who disappear, and the administration’s laughable lack of confidence has put the coverup on display for everyone to see.

It’s not just Epstein. Do you think Trump just gave up on his favorite pastime after he and Epstein had a falling out? He’s the most powerful person in the world, and he has zero self-control. Where are his new victims coming from?

Simple explanation. When all the guards simultaneously fell asleep, one of them accidentally cut the power to the security system.

You can’t expect the Justice Department to provide footage that was never recorded in a freak accident that is totally not suspicious at all. It’s not like Epstein had mountains of dirt on the wealthiest and most evil people on the planet doing unspeakably horrible things to innocent children.

We should all just accept this ridiculous story as true and let the rich evil people get back to doing… whatever it was they were doing. I’ve already forgotten

That’s ingenious. Use the existing enforcement mechanisms to protect the people.

The current US president carries water for Russia. He is their thrall. He was always going to turn on Ukraine. It will get worse, but Europe is rearming and will rise to face Russia.

They’ll attack him in the history books. The banks put Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill.

The rich have too much by definition, but billionaires in America have an historically obscene amount of wealth. Wealth inequality in today’s America has surpassed pre-Revolution France.
