For a part it might be good if they force the shutdown, AND let it last indefinitely, a month+ at least… not cave in after a day or two …

If they’d do that it will show the true colors of the maga folks… they will enact violence on democrats, and after a while trump will sign a decree the republicans can sign their own bills to come into effect and democrats will no longer be needed /allowed to govern).
Soon after the arrest warrants come for the democrats who were in the way…

Hmm he is somewhat right there… the right should have fully impeached and incarcerated Trump for all his crimes …
And even now they are blind to his full on crime spree and self enrichment from the US’ coffers.

Ofcourse throwing U R Gay at a magat is one of the most hideous insults they can think of and from there they must declare you the most evil monster they can imagine…a transsexual.

Oddly enough its not a repeat offender pedophile or mass shooter what comes into their minds first.

I am still leaning towards someone “recognizing” the gun, having suspicions and asking the suspect where his is, from there it rolled onward.

If he did tell his police officer dad directly well that changes things a bit.

In favor or fearful of …

There were at least 3 beyond highly likely sources for the concealed tapes:

• Epsteins island center where things were recorded
• A backup in Epsteins Manhattan office location (which had its safe opened after which the fbi left, came back later only to find the safe empty.)
• Ghislaine Maxwell who was rumored to know of or have a location of her own.

Seeing how Putin is very adept at working in shaded circles it’s very reasonable to assume he now is in possession of a copy.
Not even unthinkable that epstein sold/gave putin a copy himself when he went there when Trump also had regular personal dealings in moscow.

I think you meant to say it was a private affair (from far before his presidency) and therefore not a presidential action that he made remarks.

But Trump wants his powers to work retroactively as well, so anything in the past can be wiped off his slate as long as he remarks about it while being president.

Disregarding everything else, it is plain bizarre that he is allowed to keep and keep and keep trying to get a different outcome.

Hmm quite interesting 😊

It’s so strange, currently musks name and ties to tesla have done the brand immense harm … yet they keep rewarding him.

I have said it before, no use hoping for/expecting a full unedited release of the epstein files.
(but I fully encourage continuous demands for it, to let them know it will not be forgotten and they can not get away with it without repercussions later on)

The maga republicans will never release an original and untampered file. It will bring lasting damage to trump, their current election power, and most of all it jeopardizes project 2025 greatly.

Project 2025 is here to stay and no threat to it will be tolerated.

They will keep releasing edited/incomplete documents, hoping a complete version never surfaces (but hidden documents/videos are most likely out there, it is almost tangible in the air how fearful some are that more info will surface)

But added to that, the Democrats currently at the top also will not allow the full files to be released and will thwart efforts where they can.

This will be the 2000’s version of the JFK assassination files for a long time to come.

“You can only vote for what we tell you to vote for”

The problem is they knew the law too well and would stop when the law said so … this would make them useless for the maga administration.

So it absolutely does not surprise me they were shuffled into a side group and given menial tasks until they’d quit. It does make me question how they couldn’t see this coming? It was quite clear the administration does not want/value highly skilled people who can think for themselves.

Just do a republican-lie and say: I support his actions to keep the streets clean of violent crime, whichever e.o. that might be is open to interpretation. …

But I suspect they want the answer to be “all of them, glory to our leaderking”.

But that’s a build in design … less kids and other weak folk to give decades long medical coverage to saves a lot on the medical costs the small government has!

On top of that, now with severe restrictions on research and marketing of new vaccines, there will be even less medicines in the system.
What competition there was will be wiped away when there are only a small handful of “competing” drugs left per ailment, priced the same ofcourse but just differ in side-effects.

Winning through reducing costs, losing by healing less people.

And so, 4 years down the line, we hear them boast how much costs they reduced in medicaid and still kept it running.

I applaud a full disclosure … but the republicans will never release untampered files that have trumps name in them.

If they can find a way to omit trumps name and release that version while being very sure no other version is out there they might consider it.

Perhaps that can be useful to “stop” the next elections by holding their version in the air and proclaiming: “see what evil the other party brought us with their pizza store den of depravity!”

Ofcourse not even mentioning the other side will also thwart a complete release of the files. No matter how much the public clamoring for the papers.

This will be this decades’ JFK Assasination files.

imo you are forgetting one thing, the whole “positive discrimination” concept, as a precursor to “DEI”, was a BIG catalyst that started to make people feel they are being treated unfairly.
Slowly but with solid force people who worked/studied hard, were skipped for positions or possibilities in favor of someone with lesser degrees, and often (not always) the ones suffering under it never fully saw it as a race/skin color issue, it was just unfair.

People sucked up that disgruntlement for years, and along comes a bloated guy with a movement that makes clear those years will be rolled back. Some of them seem to even expect to now get that one job they missed out on 6 years ago handed to them, ignoring ofcourse how the scales now tipped to the other side where it will be “friends or buy-ins only”.

Yeah I try to avoid ingesting unhealthy drugs :-D

Yeah about that, why not drug his own ice-cream or coffee, he’d be sure he could cause a ruckuss then. Now he planned to drug kids, “hoping” they’d notice it and taking the risk they wouldn’t.

It’s all very fishy.

If the ice-cream had bits in it they might have just not chewed on it enough to recognize a pill or taste …

I don’t believe for a second he did not have the intent of drugging them… most likely had in the back of his mind if they got very ill he’d get them to a hospital and still blame what they ate.
