It kind of sums up GOP priorities, doesn’t it? The GOP in Texas keeps insisting that nothing could be done to warn people about the flood that was coming. They just didn’t have the needed tools in place. They’ve spent YEARS refusing to PUT the needed tools in place. Why? Well, that would be too expensive.

Apparently, they consider the deaths of over 100 people “less expensive.” THAT’S a loss they can absorb, the deaths of others. Just don’t try to touch their money. Yep, it sums up GOP priorities nicely…

It sounded like booing to me. The First Felon polluted the World Cup finals where he was roundly booed by the crowd. Several times, in fact. In fairness, he DID receive some salutes, but as far as I could see, they were of the one-finger variety. Some of his supporters, that is, people who back criminals, rapists, and alleged pedophiles, tried to pretend it was cheering. You can even hear some whistling as they tried to overpower the crowd – but it was a BIG crowd and, clearly, the vast majority really doesn’t like that guy, proving that most of America is still more decent than MAGA.

That didn’t stop him from crashing Chelsea’s trophy lift, though. He walked out onto the pitch with FIFA president Gianni Infantino to present the competition’s trophy, individual awards, and runners-up medals. When it came time to celebrate the win with a team photo, Infantino left the stage so the team could have their moment. 47 stayed. Infantino tried to get Donny to leave. He didn’t. He just stood there, grinning like the buffoon he is, not caring that he was crashing their big moment. The dude just ruins everything.

I wonder how much money American taxpayers shelled out for Donny and the rest of Team Evil to enjoy a luxury box at the World Cup. What, you thought HE paid for it?

Deep State Donny sure is making an effort to make the Epstein file scandal go away – and that’s saying something. That guy doesn’t make an effort at anything other than crime and/or golf – which I hear he plays badly so he cheats.

He’s the one who stoked the fire. He’s the one who rang the alarm bells. He’s the one who promised to release the files. But he’s also the one claiming they don’t exist. He’s also the one insisting people should just look at something else. He’s also the one saying the files that don’t exist were written by Obama, maybe Hillary.

It’s a kind of a-la-cart offering of lies for the cover-up. MAGA can find one they like and cling to it like a life preserver as they’re being swept away in a GOP-induced flood. Actual, legitimate journalists reported on the seizure of materials from Epstein’s various houses. We KNOW they exist. Ghislaine Maxwell’s little black book exists – or did.

Now there’s no “there” there? So why is Maxwell in prison? She was convicted of participating in a sex trafficking ring that never existed? (Spoiler alert, look for an impending pardon for her.) They’ve tried everything, man. Well, everything except releasing the files. Releasing the files is the ONLY way to prove there’s nothing in them, at this point.

Everyone remember – because Deep State Donny wants you to forget – the Epstein Files are real. They exist, or they did. They implicate a large number of very powerful men – men for whom “party” is less important than privilege. Donny’s one of them, in my opinion. Why do I think so? Donny wouldn’t lift a finger to help someone else if he didn’t benefit as well. He doesn’t give two figs about anyone else – but he loves himself unconditionally. The ONLY person he’s trying to protect with all of this mendacious manipulation is himself…

The cons are holding hearings attempting to “prove” that Joe Biden didn’t know about the pardons he ordered. If Autopen signed them, that’s all the proof they need. In fact, they don’t really need ANY proof. They thought of a scheme and that’s good enough for them. It ‘s so easy for them to ignore that fact the Biden is on record, clearly saying he ordered the pardons. He DID use Autopen to sign them – because there were so many.

But the GOP is STILL working an angle that suggests that if Biden didn’t sign them, he didn’t know about them. Ergo, they’re invalid. This is “important” to the cons, you see, because they have some political harassment to engage in if they’re going to “get even” with Dems for prosecuting their favorite felon, and the pardons are really cramping their efforts.

I’m not aware of any provisions that allow for the revocation of a pardon once it has been accepted, so I’m not sure what they think they’re doing. Of course, the legal toadies of the most corrupt, most-high court might rule anything in this nightmare MAGAmerica, but in OG America, rescinding pardons that have been accepted wasn’t possible. They’ll spend millions of taxpayer dollars on this pageantry, though…
