Shown here, paragraph 91

7 other Epstein survivors also can be placed at Mar-a-Lago

Giuffree not the only one

Trump and his cronies spread all sorts of lies about yesterday's No Kings Day protests.

I'll tell you what I saw from these folks in Columbia and throughout Maryland — Americans of all ages gathering peacefully to deliver a simple message: In America, we don't bow down to kings.

The Trump WH spent all weekend ripping Gavin Newsom for being concerned that this stunt by Hegseth and Vance could endanger people driving on one of the busiest highways in America. These idiots are going to get people killed.

I believe John Bolton's lawyer more than I do Donald Trump's prosecutors. Mostly though, I believe that Bolton is the victim of vindictive prosecution and political targeting. And that should be the end of the analysis.
