    I hope the hacks are very wrong and they are castigated through the ages for what they allowed to happen and yes, totally encouraged.

    At least he stayed out of the way and really did anyone expect that he'd have anything decent to say if he were awake and aware. Sitting here wishing he'd had drifted off in sleep never to come back. On the other hand I dream of him KNOWING the Grim Reaper is about to walk up on him and his yelling a bunch of his useless threats —— like deporting him with Ms. O'Donnell.

    Karoline Leavitt’s Latest Claim About Trump Has Social Media In A Frenzy 

    Really — how hard is it to walk around all week-end hitting golf balls. He hasn't really worked a day in his life and that goes less for his time at the White House. As you can note from the above meme Levitt and for your information, sleeping thru meetings doesn't take much effort at all.

    ETA: I forgot to put in how Leavitt was speaking about Trump being the hardest working ( from sun-up to long after sundown ) president ever. I couldn't agree less.

    BREAKING: Donald Trump gets asked to his face if Attorney General Pam Bondi found his name in the Jeffrey Epstein files — while Karoline Leavitt stands visibly uncomfortable right beside him.

    This is the response of deeply guilty man...

    "On Epstein, the attorney general briefed you in the DOJ and FBI's review, the findings of that review, the attorney general briefed you on that—" began a reporter.

    "On what? On the uh?" asked Trump, who seems to be having trouble hearing recently.

    "On the DOJ and FBI—" said the reporter.

    "On what? On what subject?" Trump interjected again.

    "Epstein. On Epstein. Of the review of the files, Attorney General Pam Bondi—" replied the reporter.

    "A very quick briefing," claimed Trump.

    "What did she tell you about the review and specifically did she tell you at all that your name appears in the files?" asked the reporter.

    "No, no she's uh, she's given us just a very quick briefing," said Trump. "And in terms of the credibility of the different things that they've seen... And I would say that, you know, these files were made up by Comey. They were made up by Obama. They were made up by the Biden..."

    Trump first trotted out this absurd new lie that Barack Obama wrote the Epstein files over the weekend amidst growing MAGA backlash over his refusal to release more information on the billionaire pedophile's case. Unfortunately for him, much of his base is rejecting the idea outright.

    "Uh, you know, and we went through years of that with the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax with all of the different things that we had to go through," Trump went on. "We've gone through years of it. But she's handled it very well and it's going to be up to her. Whatever she thinks is credible, she should release yeah."

    The last bit is noteworthy. Trump is setting Bondi up to take be his scapegoat. His supporters are already clambering for him to fire her because they are pathologically incapable of accepting the obvious reality that Bondi does whatever Trump directs her to do. They want to believe that Trump is insulated from this wrongdoing. In reality, Bondi was chosen for the job because of her long history of corruption and because Trump knew that she'd follow orders.

    The simple truth is that if we don't get these Epstein files, it's because Trump doesn't want us to have them. Given that Elon Musk has alleged that Trump himself is implicated in this case, this stonewalling from the administration is all too predictable.

    It's always the same with him. He didn't do it and it was someone from the Democrats side that did it even if you saw me clearly doing it. So, in any case, interesting if we get to the point where BONDI might really have to be sacrificed because the Loon as no qualms about dumping people who have for some reason started to weigh him down a bit too much. He has the quickest adios wave I've ever seen.

    BREAKING: Democratic star Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett incinerates Texas' MAGA Governor Greg Abbott as their feud escalates — says that he "deals more death than life to his constituents."

    The gloves are really coming off now...

    "If you could speak directly to Greg Abbott, what would you tell him?" a reporter asked Crockett.

    "I would have some choice words," the Congresswoman said with a laugh. "Me and Greg are not friends. On his watch, we've had Uvalde. On his watch, we've had El Paso. On his watch, we've had the Guadalupe flood and kill people."

    Twenty-two people died in the Uvalde mass shooting and twenty-one were injured. Twenty-three people were killed in the El Paso mass shooting, with twenty-two injured. Abbott is a radical pro-gun extremist who opposes even the most basic gun safety laws.

    The recent flooding of the Guadalupe River has resulted in at least 134 deaths so far with over 101 people missing. Abbott and the Republican-controlled state legislature neglected flood prevention projects resulting in a $54 billion funding backlog. Meanwhile, they slashed property taxes by $51 billion. These deaths can be laid squarely at their feet.

    "Consistently, he seems to be a governor that deals more death than life to his constituents. And so it's time for him to come to the realization that he may be in over his head," added Crockett.

    This showdown between Crockett and Abbott has come to a head amidst her vocal opposition to his underhanded efforts to gerrymander the state via an upcoming special session with the goal of destroying minority districts.

    At Trump's command, Abbot and Texas Republicans are attempting to redraw Democratically held districts that are largely Hispanic and Black so that they will instead swing red.

    Crockett is standing up for democracy and every patriotic American must stand wit her.

    "Farmers for Trump" must really be regretting their votes now that his idiotic tariff wars are killing their export market opportunities and bankrupting them.

    Sadly didn't learn and heed in the proper order. Ask and ye likely with the loon won't receive.

    BREAKING: MAGA Speaker Mike Johnson stabs Donald Trump in the back and calls for the Justice Department to release the Jeffrey Epstein files — and says that Attorney General Pam Bondi should explain her suspicious behavior.

    This story just took a turn for the dramatic...

    "It’s a very delicate subject, but you should put everything out there, let the people decide it," said Johnson, adding that he supports "transparency."

    Earlier today, Republicans in the House blocked a vote pushed by Democrats to force the release of the files. Many MAGA politicians are terrified of breaking ranks from Trump even though the base is clamoring for the truth about Epstein. Now that Johnson has come out on the side of transparency, it may prompt more defections.

    “I think [Pam Bondi] was talking about documents, as I understood that were on her desk. I don’t know that she was specific about a list or whatever, but she needs to come forward and explain that to everybody,” said Johnson.

    Previously, Bondi stated that she had the Epstein client list waiting on her desk to be reviewed. Later, a Justice Department memo came out that claimed that there was no client list, no evidence that Epstein ran a blackmail ring, and no evidence that he killed himself.

    Trump has been desperately trying to make the growing Epstein scandal disappear by claiming that nobody cares about it and then more recently by trotting out the absurd lie that the Epstein files were written by Barack Obama. He's floundering.

    "We need the DOJ focusing on the major priorities. Let’s get this thing resolved so that they can deal with violent crime and public safety and election integrity and going after ActBlue and the things that the president is most concerned about," added Johnson, saying that he is "anxious" to have it resolved.

    Even when he does something good like advocating for transparency, Johnson can't help but push destructive Republican narratives. "Election integrity" is a conservative code phrase for voter suppression and "going after ActBlue" is a blatant effort to illegally strangle donations to the Democratic Party.

    We should support Johnson's push to release the files, but never forget that this man is a coward and liar who actively supports a fascist, Christian nationalist agenda.

    Definitely need to view the Johnson actions ALWAYS with a raided eyebrow.

    MAJOR BREAKING: Bombshell data analysis reveals that roughly 3 minutes were cut out of the Jeffrey Epstein prison cell footage that was released by Donald Trump's FBI — supercharging suspicions of a coverup.

    And it gets so much worse...

    According to metadata analysis by WIRED, one of the source clips that was edited in Adobe Premiere Pro and stitched together with another for release was originally 2 minutes and 53 seconds longer.

    The footage purportedly shows the exterior of the cell where Epstein allegedly killed himself. In order for the footage to rule out the possibility of foul play, it would need to have been released raw and unedited.

    It's worth nothing that Trump was president when Epstein died. His attorney general at the time was Bill Barr and Barr's father Donald Barr was the headmaster of the Dalton School in Manhattan where Epstein taught from 1974 to 1976. Donald Barr was also the author of a bizarre 1973 science fiction novel that includes descriptions of horrific sexual abuse and trafficking of minors.

    It's unclear what, if anything, the purged footage showed but it immediately raises the possibility that someone could have entered the cell. The Trump administration has insisted that there is no evidence that Epstein was murdered, but this new revelation calls that into question.

    WIRED further reports that the missing three minutes may be related to the one minute gap that appears between 11:58:58 pm and 12:00:00 am. The newly discovered missing three minutes were trimmed right before the 11:58:58 pm mark.

    Bondi has claimed that the midnight discrepancy stems from a nightly reset carried out by the prison, which seems like an awfully convenient explanation as well as a major security oversight on the part of the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

    "The cut to the first clip doesn’t necessarily mean that there is additional time unaccounted for—the second clip picks up at midnight, which suggests the two would overlap—nor does it prove that the missing minute was cut from the video," Dhruv Mehrotra reported for WIRED.

    It does however demand immediate explanation. WIRED reached out to Justice Department to discuss the issue and was directed to speak to the FBI. The FBI, in turn, declined to comment.

    In addition to the missing minutes, WIRED also uncovered another suspicious detail. Independent video forensics experts discovered that footage released by the FBI contains internal comment markers which are "annotations typically used in editing software to flag moments of interest."

    The so-called "enhanced" version of the FBI's footage has 15 markers which "apparently correspond to visible movement near '46 door' at New York’s Metropolitan Correctional Center" which is a door near the cell block where Epstein was being held.

    It's unclear why the person who edited the footage for the FBI would need to leave markers for themselves. The comment text has been scrubbed.

    There is, of course, no way to know for sure if this footage was tampered with to remove evidence of someone entering Epstein's cell. That said, if such a digital coverup did occur, this is probably what the metadata aftermath would look like.

    Elon Musk's claim that Trump is implicated in the Epstein files seems more and more likely with each new piece of information we receive.

    If it hangs around and this thing sure seems to have a pretty full shelf life, more and more reveals become evident. Loon is going to be sitting on the hot seat apparently for quite some time — perhaps having to make some sort of BIG change.

    BREAKING: Democrats go for Donald Trump's jugular on the Jeffrey Epstein scandal and demand that MAGA Attorney General Pam Bondi be forced to testify along with other top administration officials.

    And it gets even better...

    “The Trump DOJ and FBI’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein matter and President Trump’s suddenly shifting positions, have not restored anyone’s trust in the government but have rather raised profound new questions about their own conduct while increasing public paranoia related to the investigation,” Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee wrote in a letter to committee chairman Jim Jordan.

    “Only a bipartisan public hearing at which Administration officials answer direct questions from elected representatives before the eyes of the American people can restore public trust on the matter,” they added.

    Bondi previously stated that the Epstein client list was sitting on her desk to he reviewed. Later, a Justice Department memo claimed that there was no list, that there was no evidence of an Epstein blackmail list, and that there was no evidence that he was murdered. Now, Trump is absurdly claiming that there are unreleased Epstein files but they were written by Barack Obama and so should be ignored.

    In their letter, these top Democrats also called for FBI Director Kash Patel, Deputy Director Dan Bongino, and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche to testify and for subpoenas to be issued if they refuse. They wrote that such hearings would "go a long way toward restoring some public trust in the integrity of federal law enforcement."

    The Democrats further called for an investigation into whether Trump himself has something to hide in this case. Such a probe is absolutely necessary given his erratic, suspicious behavior and the fact that Elon Musk has alleged that he’s implicated in the files.

    At this point, the most benign explanation is that Bondi and other MAGA figures knowingly lied about this case to feed the flames of conspiracy theories and excite the Republican base. If that is indeed the case, they should all resign in shame immediately. If the truth is darker, they should be prosecuted.

    Well, is it ain't the gang that couldn't shoot straight fu****g up big time again.

    I sure as hell don't think he had that attitude when he was LIVING it because he kept going back for more. And we are expected to buy that crap. He should know some namby-pamby like that is not going to shut Epstein down now.

    Open a can of worms and guess what's for dinner — over and over.
