from today's post, on Ghislaine Maxwell’s absurd claim that she never saw Donny do anything ‘concerning’ —
please read the whole thing, thanks!
link is here: bit.ly/455mkjA
(and as always, there's a longer excerpt in the alt text)

turns out we can all rest easy, folks.

it seems that the sleazy convicted sex trafficker who used to hang out at the sleazy adjudicated sex offender’s sleazy golf motel in order to procure teenage girls for the sleazy adjudicated sex offender’s sleazy dead pedo bestie told the sleazy adjudicated sex offender’s sleazy personal lawyer that she never saw the sleazy adjudicated sex offender do anything wrong.

whew. I’m glad we finally got that settled.

During her nine hours speaking with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche last month, Ghislaine Maxwell said nothing during the interview that would be harmful to President Donald Trump, telling Blanche that Trump had never done anything in her presence that would have caused concern, according to sources familiar with what Maxwell said.

oh, okay. Ghislaine never saw Donny do anything ‘concerning.’

well, that’s a fucktacular load off everyone’s minds, right? I mean, it’s not like the word ‘concerning’ can mean anything you want it to.

let me go out on a limb here and posit that if you see nothing wrong with befriending teenage girls so your ex-boyfriend can rape them, you might have a different definition of ‘concerning’ than most people.

So Trump convinced Coca Cola to switch from high fructose corn syrup to cane sugar. Putting aside the issues around HFCS, Brazil, who we just slapped with tariffs, is the world's largest producer of cane sugar. The US is the world's largest producer of HFCS.

What happened to America first? 🤡

I’ve been thinking a lot about Murkowski’s vote. It contains, in one action, so much that defines our pathetic political moment:

Selfishness: I’m taking care of me and mine, the rest of you can pound sand;

Lack of accountability: I know the bill is bad, hopefully someone else will fix it;

Cowardice: I’m scared of Trump and his voters and need to go-along to get along with my GOP colleagues;

Moral rot: I know the difference between right and wrong, and actively chose wrong.

11. The bigger question for the House GOP: why the hell do you want this job? Congress is a coequal branch. Your decisions affect every American. If you think that you should only do what Trump wants regardless of the ask and even if your constituents don't like it you aren't a representative.
