US media has decided to pretend that the Epstein-Nassar Letter Epstein sent just before he died merely had a "crude reference" to Trump. NO. It was a clear, unambiguous allegation by Epstein that Trump *regularly sexually assaulted* "young, nubile girls." Our media is BROKEN.

Gupta: Nobody takes a Montreal Cognitive Assessment with this type of frequency. Doing it as frequently as heโs doing makes no sense. I donโt know any neurologist who would recommend doing a MoCA with that type of frequency. Itโs not the flex that I think he believes it is.

This is what MAGA and Republicans voted for.
MUSK: We just kind of made up a department. MILLER: Do you think you were successful? MUSK: We were a little bit successful. We were somewhat successful. Um, I mean, we, we, we stopped a lot of funding for, um, that, that, that really just made no sense...

SCOTUS found Biden didnโt have authority as President to cut student loans without Congress. Yet they find Trump has the authority to cut whole government and eliminate entire agencies unilaterally. This is the most compromised, partisan and unethical Supreme Court in history.

There is no fairytale ending here where things revert to the mean and Europeans can zone out and assume things will work out, which is the normal stance. We are facing bleak timelines with gangsters and thugs in charge, which is already well underway in the US.

This is consistent with the new Trump NSS. It would mean the end of NATO. By undermining collective defense, Trump would destroy deterrence, inviting Putinโs aggression on Europe. The world would then see the sacrifice of much of what was earned by our forebears in WWII.
