I'm not sure you can get more marie antoinette than taking away food stamps before thanksgiving while you build a gold and marble dance hall so the other crooks can bring bribe you over a badly-cooked (argentinian) steak
We need the political equivalent of a guillotine to remove the felonious head of government and his evil enablers.

On Christmas Eve 1968, in Lunar orbit, the Apollo 8 crew took this photo: “Earthrise."
I'll never forget how inspiring the Apollo missions were to my brother and me as kids. They showed us what our country and humanity can accomplish when we work together toward a common goal.

So sorry to agree. Mike Wallace was fearless on behalf of all of us.
The “60 Minutes” we have known is dead. The fearless program that many of us grew up with was strangled by corporate titans seeking favor with the Trump White House. I don’t know what is next for the storied franchise, but it will never be the same. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/60-m...
“60 Minutes” Obeyed in Advance

The giltiest man in the world. Everyone working for him is covering up sex crimes, sending people to concentration camps, or robbing the neediest to feed the oligarchs.

Another brilliant idea by the Trump WH to put the ‘Rapid React’ campaign ‘own the libs’ juvenile delinquents in charge of DOJ comms. Very professional.

Shhh... don't tell 'em
The only esteem the DOJ has remaining are those employees who remained and are working against this administration. I’m convinced, at this point, the gaffes aren’t just this administration’s incompetence, but people, with competence, working against them from the shadows.

This is what happens when the trump White House takes over the social media account for the DoJ. (Axios is reporting they have.) I hope this lands them in legal trouble.

Nothing like asking career AUSAs who have been under assault for the last year, watched their colleagues get fired for no reason, and their offices taken over by incompetent boobs to volunteer their time to perpetuate a cover up of their boss's involvement w/a sex predator 🙃

ICE cracks down and cracks heads in Atlantic City, where the felon ran three casinos into bankruptcy and left unpaid bills with dozens of building contractors. No video here on bluesky yet, so I'll share a gift article from my fave paper, the Inky. @willbunch.bsky.social share.inquirer.com/qfPnNX
Atlantic City officials, community leaders condemn ‘aggressive’ and ‘appalling’ ICE activity in the area
A community activist urged businesses to support their immigrant labor: "Please be there for them after they’ve given you hours of labor, years of blood, sweat and tears to your business.”

As a prosecutor, I'd look for pieces of evidence that corroborated each other.
1) Trump's on tape saying he grabs women "by the pussy."
2) Jury finds Trump liable for sexually assaulting Jean Carrol.
3) Epstein says Trump "grabs snatch" of young women.
Conclusion: Trump is a sexual predator.

Never-seen video surfaces of Chinese general telling military court martial why he refused to send elite troops to stop 1989 Tiananmen Square protests. Gen. Xu Qinxian did not want to become known as “a sinner in history.” The world watched as a man stood his ground in front of Chinese tanks...

Video shows Gen Xu Qinxian explaining why he refused to deploy troops to crush 1989 student-led demonstrations
Rare footage of a People’s Liberation Army (PLA) general who defied orders to lead his troops into Tiananmen Square and crush the 1989 student protesters has been leaked online, offering a highly unusual glimpse into the upper echelons of the military at one of the most fraught moments in modern Chinese history.
General Xu Qinxian’s refusal to take his troops from the PLA’s prestigious 38th Group Army, a unit based on the outskirts of Beijing, into the capital has been the stuff of Tiananmen lore for decades. Continue reading...

Epstein file shows local Florida police treated young victims like criminals for reporting sex crimes against them, scared them into shutting up instead of telling all to expose the horror.
This is sinister. If you're wondering why so many people don't report sexual assault, this is why.
jesus the Palm Beach Police really sought arrest warrants against underage Epstein victims for coming forward and cooperating, and (purported) admitting to crimes, and it caused the victims to become uncooperative with the federal investigation

Great stuff. Could prove public opinion about erosion of laws can influence SCOTUS justices. You can't arrest and detain people based on skin color!
Kavanaugh has spent months watching masked street thugs brutalize Latinos on TV for the crime of being Hispanic in America, watching the entire Latino population of America turning on his party, and realizing it was all directly attributable to him. I bet he’s wanted to melt into the floor.
Interesting that Justice Kavanaugh decided he had to add footnote 4 to his concurrence, which addresses the "State’s underlying objections to the activities of federal immigration officers when they make immigration stops."

Happy holidays America! The Supreme Court just told Trump “NO” regarding his federalizing and deploying National Guard troops to the streets of Chicago.
Trump is losing his grip on the dictatorial power he so covets.

Deny, deflect, distract -- the 3-D GOP sends out blocks of red herrings to puzzle people about the Epstein files instead of illuminating America about the real rapists and child abusers who've gotten away worth their crimes for decades
If it was already in the files, somebody had already looked at it and concluded it was bogus (as it does seem to be), and that would have been noted. They want people running with stuff they can later debunk. This is a deliberate strategy to create confusion about what's credible and what's not.
this is insane to me. the doj had forever to look into this. now they're like liveblogging on x like they have no more information than a random person on social media

Worth repeating this with every new Epstein document drop. The party of Denny Hastert is the party of Jim Jordan is the party of Matt Gaetz is the party of Donald Trump. Looking the other way and protecting child predators from the law is their brand.
