Epstein’s brother says somewhere in the state of Virginia a scrubbing of documents took place.

I believe there should be a thorough investigation on this accusation. IMO

I’m still thinking about “quiet, piggy.” No president should be able to speak to a member of the press that way and remain president. That moment encapsulates how vile, misogynistic, and horrible that man is.

President Zelenskyy came to the White House, looking for help from his longstanding ally.

He was ambushed, humiliated and berated for not being grateful enough.

Prince Bone Saw bin 9/11 came to the White House, for the first time since he ordered the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.

He was revered.

Marjorie Taylor Greene: "I was called a traitor by a man that I fought for 6 years for. I gave him my loyalty for free. I've never owed him anything. Let me tell you what a traitor is -- a traitor is an American that serves foreign countries."

NEW: The White House intervened on behalf of accused sex trafficker Andrew Tate during a federal investigation.

“It was so offensive to what we’re all here to do, to uphold the law and protect the American people,” one official involved said.
The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation
Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

Apparently Trump is now calling for the release of the Epstein files, which of course means that they have finished deleting all the evidence that he was complicit.

Remember when we were all about taking down terrorists and the networks that financed them?

Now they get red carpet treatment at the White House, presidential pardons and investment opportunities with America.

Times sure have changed.

It's also why he (&every cult leader) looks better to their followers the more they're seen getting away w/breaking the law. Ppl who join cults are by their very nature desperate for the security of being part of someone larger than life. The more he appears above the law, the more appealing he is.

The other thing-- that many miss about trump-- is that he is not offended/upset/hurt to be called evil. This isn't an insult to malignant narcissists &sociopaths (he's both). He's not in a position to agree publicly, but being called evil is a score to him

Most hurtful? Being mocked or called weak.

Fox News credulously reports that "the Saudis now say their investment pledge in the US will be increased to $1 trillion." THE ENTIRE GDP OF SAUDI ARABIA IS $1.1 TRILLION, so this is total nonsense.
