Charlie, I know you’ve taken to some mea culpa on events. If we ever get back to “normal” how do we avoid another disaster like this when Fox News et al continue to distort the truth with impunity? All I foresee is a vicious cycle if we allow the nuclear silo of disinformation to continue unabated.

The Master of Distraction fails to distract…” isn’t just a one-off—it’s proof that when the glass is shattered, reapplying lipstick won’t fix the cracks

Trump’s late Saturday screed reads like a meth-addled manifesto left behind by a suicidal 17-year-old school shooter. More than 500 spittle-flecked words, it’s clearly the product of a highly disorganized mind in the midst of full-blown panic. I, like others, initially thought it a parody.

Must reading. Perfect summer fare. I highly recommend it.

Scanned some of the comments before making my own and assume you have seen the official appearing responses from you to the commenter, which is repeated on random posts. Looks like someone was able to appear to be you, but obviously is not. Hopefully that person can be identified and blocked. Such a crazy world we are living in. Thank you for all that you do to shine a spotlight on the insanity and all the rest. I really don't know how you have the fortitude to do this hard work, but so very grateful.

Re the Xeet from the Rasmussen guy.

1. Anyone whose handle is “@honestpollster” undoubtedly isn’t.

2. He says he “can’t underestimate” how big a deal it is. If something can’t be underestimated, doesn’t that imply it is too small to be worthy of notice?

Helpful hint: if you want to claim something is a really big deal, just say that. A double negative (even if the correct one) isn’t the right tool for the job.

If Bongino or Bondi should leave their post , Trump will have to give them an ambassador roll , lets say Penguin Island where they can write a tell all book with the agreement they can not publish until all the pedophiles are long gone. That is if they have seen the files. Not just the list, all the files and videos should be exposed. All the victimized children's names should be blotted out. Their ages and length of time been brutalized should be in the documents. Keep your eye on the prize, don't let Trumps daily chaos fade out this deplorable crime of child rape

.In 2005 Epstein was charged with sexual misconduct with a 14 year old girl and the Federal authorities located 36 more girls he is alleged to have abused. He went to prison for thirteen months with a daily work release after a plea deal. No federal charges at this time. One would wonder what he know and what he may of had on others. Such a lenient sentence for child rape. Finally in 2019 the federal authorities charged him with sex trafficking and while waiting for the trial he died in prison 10 August 2019. Alleged suicide???

Woof! The sheep cried wolf and guess what? The good wolf ate the sheep while The Don was fucking teenagers with Epstein.

This is why you always tell the TRUTH because eventually the really big, strong, manly wolf will eat all of you and your 'shrooms.
