I'm going to be pedantic in this QT because rape, trauma, & abuse apologists quibble.

Consent = momentary (meaning yes 1 minute ago does not necessarily mean yes now), fully-informed, clear, a&can be retracted verbally, nonverbal, &/or physically AT ANY POINT, & the one with more power must stop.
Only people who aren't sexual predators will get this:

1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

NEW: A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.
Federal judge rules DOJ can ‘no longer’ be trusted in voter roll crusade
The judge pointed to a letter from Bondi to Minnesota that tied federal immigration enforcement to demands for voter data as the smoking gun.

Those bribes worked well.
In related news about the Washington Post and the state of journalism today, Amazon "ran a $1.2 billion tax bill last year, down from $9 billion the previous year, even as its profits jumped by 45% to nearly $90 billion."

That's in the wake of the 2025 tax bill

The 87 percent drop is largely due to a more generous depreciation break in the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act.'

He's still so fixated on Obama and Biden.
Someone pointed out that he hasn't said a word about the guy who supposedly tried to assassinate him. If it was legit, he'd never shut up about it.

This is a small issue but I do think it's endemic of how the mainstream press is treating everything: giving the TPUSA Kid Rock "alternative Super Bowl halftime show" the same weight as Bad Bunny performing at the Super Bowl, like the former will get even 1/100000000th of the audience of the latter.
