There’s a down side to this Epstein blow-up-in-MAGA’s-own face thing. It’s drawing all the media attention away from what is in the Big Butt-Ugly Bill, namely complete disaster for the American people. Is this intentional perhaps? Keep your eye on the ball, people.

We must protest on Thursday because “Good Trouble Lives On”. The memory of Troy AL native John Lewis will be honored to have you participate in this manner. Here are signs for you to print. https://hotbuttons.substack.com/p/protest-signage-free?r=3m1bs

I think there needs to be more media attention on SCOTUS. Trump and/or Koch Bros own them, and I think they were our only chance to keep us from going down the tubes. There were a few signs that Coney Barratt had a mind of her own, but no, it's not the case. They really were our only hope other than the people becoming a massive force, united in righteous indignation when they finally wake up to the fact that they've been had.

Hawley voted for the BBB because he wanted the ICE gestapo to get a bunch of money. The rest is just details and political theater.

Putin is using the 50 days to war in Ukraine and tRUMP sits there and does nothing but lie to the American people that he is helping Ukraine. His actions show he is in bed with Putin and Epstein. If he was a sane president he would stand up to Putin and not wait for 50 days for Tariffs but actually do the work of not lying and slandering and stop Russia/Putin. But we know he is a Traitor to the U.S.A. and has made a deal with Putin, North Korea, to promote Communist regime. Now he say's those people who do not support him are turncoats and he does not need there support anymore. We see from the pictures that his health is failing and his brain is on auto pilot and is melting down to compost.

But I heard that Trump is the best negotiator, that know one knows more about negotiating than him, that he makes deals like nobody's seen in the history of the world. /s/

I had to go to Gutfield's Facebook page and congratulate him for coming out as a Nazi.

EVERYONE SHOULD.

It's funny how Wired decided to get into much more mainstream reporting. They started out as a magazine (a physical one at that) that was exclusively focused on electronic tech.

As for the rest, well, I'm a a mid-Boomer, and honestly, I'm tired of living in interesting times. At this point, I'd love not much more than for a whole two weeks to go by without some chaotic, in-your-face BS nonsense exploding all over.

Love my governor but his tit-for-tat threat re redistricting is moot and he knows it. Our redistricting process has been handled by an independent, bi-partisan board for over twenty years. Also, THIS is a prime example of why our focus on the presidential race at the expense of state races, especially the legislature, has done so much harm.

Epstein needs to continue to be our there daily, but so does all the other news, including the BBB and when everything will kick in. Dates for that would be helpful for those that aren't paying attention. I got an email today from the man from Oz, warning me about medicaid scams. Started out Dear Judy. I wonder how he got my email address. I certainly didn't give it to him.

They are running away from LA because the judge has now said that all of them need to carry out due process, given lawyers ti talk to, and not be racially profiled (ie real reason to approach someone) people and they have to offer people lawyers

So they ran away

They will terrorize outside that judges ruling, so we will need appropriate class action ruling

All you need to know: Trump is stupid. This means, he will eventually succeed in screwing his MAGATS and they will eventually realize they've been had or worse. And then the elections. And then the indictments and then a wider striped suit (finally!) for the serial criminal. Amen.

The Internal Maga Quarrel over Jeffrey Epstein reminds me of the Inane internecine battles of Islamicists.

See the parallels between Maga and Muslim politics
