I'm happy but a little surprised. But what's going on behind the scenes? Thiel controlling Roberts & Co?

If not President, then he'll be the Defense Secretary that cleans up Hegseth's mess.

"Can't".
SCOTUS "can't" declare corporations are people, either, but that's what it's been doing.

More than anything, if the Constitution specifically banned influence from any entity but actual individual people from any election or political process and severely limited money from single individuals we'd be far better off. Had that been in place there'd be no MAGAts.

Those responsible for putting disinformation in CDC publications are criminals. Find out who, exactly, was responsible for later prosecution. The only way this stops is imposing consequences on those committing the crimes. "Following orders" is no defense. RFKJr needs cellmates.

Yeah, but even Chamberlain had a reason for dragging his feet. UK was not nearly ready for a fight so anything threatened would be a bluff to delay UK's involvement a bit, and it turned out necessary. Trump's is just plain treason to serve Putin.

The reason "Epstein" persists is that it apparently gets under Trump's skin and scares the other participants. I have trouble believing there's anything left to use to prosecute that's not in the hands of a blackmailer (including Putin). But milk it for all it's worth.

Kinda getting surrounded. We really need to reveal all those US politicians honey- or money-trapped by Putin. It only really works as long as it's secret.
