This is a sort of cartoonish evil that will only be rewarded with an intense proseecution and clawing back of of any illegal money stolen on his behalf. Also, getting the money back will not save you from prison, Michael Flynn.

I wonder how some voters feel about their man’s campaign of terror against people that look a lot like them. They voted for their friends, family and countrymen to be rounded up in the night, hoping for lower prices, I guess. Seems like future political solidarity might be a reach.

Global carbon emissions from fossil fuels are projected to rise to an all-time high this year, according to a report.
At this rate, it will take the world four years to pass the threshold experts agree would constitute catastrophic warming, the authors said.

Once again, the way you know that Trump knew Epstein was trafficking HIS OWN GIRLS is it happened w/Virginia Giuffre in 2000, he told (we now know) Maxwell to stop, then Maxwell did it again w/daughter of a club member.

So on Epstein, the Democratic position should be "Trump should resign." If you are a Democratic elected, practice saying "We demand the president's resignation" in front of a mirror as many times as it takes until the dry-heaving that comes from having a phobia about actually doing politics passes.
