These *redactions* in the Epstein files are BULLSHIT. Lots of pix of Clinton, but just about everything else is blacked out. They're giving all of us a big "fuck you" with this shit. Where's the oversight? Are any non cult members involved? Wake up America. This is not ok. What can we do about it?

DOJ broke the law today by refusing to produce all the Epstein files. It also broke the law by redacting information other than to protect victims. Yet, the corporate media is acting that DOJ did us a huge favor.

I was not expecting a guilty verdict. I hope Judge Dugan is successful on appeal. I’m concerned about this emboldening this lawless administration.

It's at once sickening, stupid, hilarious and vomitatious...
It is legitimately hilarious that they couldn't figure out what to do with the "The" before JFK's name so it looks even more tacked on.

Nicole is tempting fate here, bc if Trump invades VZ we'll be back sometime before the New Year.
But tune in to this one!

And those people were all tasked with redacting Trump from the files, not redacting the victims/survivors names or other info that needed redacting for their protection.
When they wanted to release the files early this year, they paid $1M in overtime and put 1000 people on it - until they realized what was in the files. Now they’re slow walking the release.

Excellent check-in. One of the most interesting aspects to me is the defectors.
Not only did #TeslaTakedown make opposing the regime fun, visible, and cool, but it also helped spark Musk's fit of defection, which was mainly for show, but opened the floodgates on Epstein.

The most corrupt president in modern U.S. history should be behind bars.
🚨 Newly obtained recording from late 2020: Trump is heard pressuring the Speaker of the Georgia House of Representatives to convene a special legislative session to overturn his election loss.

In trump’s first term he illegally diverted $2.5B from military housing, barracks repairs, base schools, & training facilities to fund the wall. Now he’s taking another $2.6B earmarked for housing & using it as some kind of bribe to buy loyalty. The money will be gone, housing still unaffordable.

And this idiot is the Secretary of Commerce?!? Go back to 3rd grade Lutnick. Or is it lunatic? I'll go with moron.
FOX: If you cut something by 100%, the cost goes down to 0. If you cut it by 600%, the drug companies are actually paying you
LUTNICK: What he's saying is if a drug was $100 and you bring it down to $13, it's down 7 times
F: Not a 600% cut
L: But it's 700% higher price before. It's down 700% now

The Kennedy Center was given its name by an act of Congress after President John F. Kennedy was assassinated.
Pretty sure its current board, which includes revered fine arts dignitaries like Laura Ingraham, Pamela Jo Bondi, Maria Bartiromo, and Lee Greenwood, can't undo that law.
