Thank you, Mr. Sykes. Perhaps we are at the ultimate Jedi mind trick moment where djt does a 180 on a conspiracy theory and his cult just says the joke is on them. I pray the cult sees the truth but I would never bet against the greatest con man in human history todate.

I LOVE this line! Spit out my proverbial tequila reading this!

Keep up the good work, Charlie!

Looking back at history, the ICE operation looks more like the norm than an anomaly. Mexican Repatriation under Hoover kicked out ~1 million, 60% of them US citizens; Japanese interment stripped 120,000 of all their positions and put them in concentration camps; Operation Wetback kicked out 300k to 1 million, again 60% of them citizens. And now this Trump operation, the fourth mass racist expulsion in 90 years. Do we even have the right to be shocked given continuous bouts of cruelty over generations?

I just hope and pray the Epstein drama keeps on giving...heartburn, defection, disillusionment. That would be grand. And if the Dems continue to go on offense (finally, fercrissakes), this mess could stay potent for a while. Either way, once the Dems reclaim the Congress--hopefully both houses--they should be relentless in pursuing the facts and the truth about the whole tawdry, foul Epstein enterprise. Rich, powerful men were involved. They need a reckoning.

Since this dormant story came to life again, I believe it will now remain alive for a long time, hopefully to some resolution in implicating Trump and those listed in the records that were kept. There are many - many more - in money laundering, intelligence sharing, international crime figures… a big web connected to Epstein. With Trump in the mix.

Charlie’s Nifty New Word of the Day

Feculent / adjective / [fek-yuh-luhnt]

Definition: Full of filth, dregs, or fecal matter; foul, muddy, or turbid.

Origin: Late Middle English (circa 1425–1475), from Latin faeculentus, meaning “full of dregs.” Derived from faeces (sediment, waste) + -ulentus (full of).

Example Sentence: “The problems created by that many birds, fresh back from a day of feeding, is feculent.”

Eli needs a larger vehicle! Seeing your dogs is always a highlight, no matter how discouraging the news might be.

The food thing just honestly breaks my heart, almost more than anything else has so far. It's so needlessly cruel. There are people I love that voted for this abject excuse of a man, which means they voted for objectively evil things to happen (like the food incineration). I don't know how to square that with people that I don't think would ever do such awful in their actual lives.

It’s just all so gross and un-American. I will never understand how people can still defend his BS.

Trump is quickly losing what’s left of his mind.

The hypocrisy of Johnson to talk about wanting transparency in regards to the Epstein chaos, then proceeding to vote to keep the files hidden….🤦‍♀️

Of course, Trump always personally calls the ones who become “shaky” and threatens them with some piece of personal info (blackmail?) to get them back into the herd. That’s what mob bosses do.

If the "radical left " is now defined by the "lunatic" ideas that we need to feed kids, keep kids with parents, keep kids healthy, and keep kids out of cages… okay then …. I'm freaking ass proud to be a member of the radical lunatic left!
