I wrote a book about a mad king who takes over a city, Münster, Germany in 1533, stokes apocalyptic fever dreams of Christ's return, and in 16 months brings it to ruin. Seems kind of timely somehow.

Question: Is it ever the case that Supreme Court justices get worked behind the scene? Any recorded instance of this?

Until Gov. Pritzker works to stop this, his words are empty and meaningless.

The attorney general and the FBI director, a manosphere podcaster bro, pulled into the situation room a member of Congress best known for getting kicked out of a Beetlejuice musical for drunkenly giving her date a handy, in order to pressure her about the president's child sex trafficking scandal.

Reading these emails makes me think that a lot of people would want Epstein dead.

Burn it all to the ground. We can build a new country once this degenerate rot has blown away.
To recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015
What did the NY Times editors know about this offer?

I don't know if this present moment will cleanse of the rot that rests at the heart of our government, but I do know that our only hope is that a cleansing wind will blow away the dirt and filth that clogs the body politic.

Theory of the case: Trump is using Epstein material to blackmail members of Congress. He's worried about losing his leverage because he's been shamed so many times for degeneracy he's immune to it.

I feel like this needs to be posted everyday until we realize the madness that has fallen on us. Until we reject the constant lies we are building a debt hard to pay.

After my incandescent rage has subsided, I keep asking myself one question: What was the Dems endgame? Trump would never negotiate, @GOP is utterly corrupt, and Dems don't have the numbers. So, was there any outcome in the real world that would have satisfied us?

Not to be all bummer, but the chances of the Epstein Files becoming public anytime Trump is alive are basically 0. Hope I'm wrong about this, but they will stay buried as long as Trump is in power.

Everybody talking about how weak a leader Sen. Schumer is, but he engineered an abject surrender of the Democratic Senate and kept his fingerprints off of it (or so he thinks).

Not sure why people keep holding on to the Epstein files being released. They will never see the light on day. Am I wrong?

No lies detected. Schumer must go. Now!
Trump: I'm dismantling the Constitution, building a paramilitary fascist army loyal only to me, demolishing the White House, and blowing up the US economy for my billionaire cronies
Schumer: Okay, but you have to extend subsidies for corporate health care
Trump: No
Schumer: Okay

If I'm Republican I'm thinking of nuking the filibuster. There's literally no cost in doing so. Evidently the Democrats don't have the guts to do what needs to be done if they had the power.

Every Dem senator coming up for election in 2026 should be challenged, even the "good" ones. If they want to lead, then they should be fighters. Also, new leadership in House and Senate. Now!

This John Sauer argument reminds me of trying to blow bullshit exegesis past my New Testament professor in seminary. His response? "Mr. Pugh, you can use an amazing amount of words without saying anything germane to the question at hand."
