Paying the Price…

Things known and Unknown…
One of the things we know is that Ghislaine Maxwell recruited her victims from Mar-a-Lago, among other places.
What we don’t know? Is it at ALL possible that Mar-a-Lago’s hiring practices took into account that Maxwell would be “fishing” there? If 47 was hiring girls that seemed particularly vulnerable to Maxwell’s advances, might that make Donny a co-conspirator in the scheme?

All of that is just random thinking while the Epstein File crisis continues to simmer. Deep State Donny promised to release the files and is now working as hard as he can to distract his base from them. He doesn’t WANT to release them. I’ll just bet.

Now MAGA Mike the Johnson is running interference for Donny in Congress, where a bipartisan effort to force the release of the files is gaining steam. The Johnson said, “I agree with President Trump, with the Department of Justice, with the FBI that you need all credible evidence and information out there. That word ‘credible’ is important. And why? Because you have to protect innocent people’s names and reputations whose names might be, as you noted at the outset of the program, intertwined into all these files.”

Yeah, Mike, we do that with a difficult, challenging process called “redaction.” It’s a tough concept so, try to stay with me, here. What you do is, you cross out the names of the victims with a magic marker. Black, preferably. I wouldn’t normally specify ‘black,’ but this is MAGA we’re dealing with, here. These guys might grab a yellow highlighter and consider it good enough.

As it happens, people are less interested in the victim’s names than they are in the perpetrator’s names. Most especially when it turns out that ONE of those perpetrator’s names is likely ‘Trump.’ Or ‘Clinton,’ if you’ve contracted MAGA. I mean, let’s be honest. But I’ll tell you this: The only way we can ever know for sure is if we see the files…

Unmask the ICEholes…
Uh-oh. It seems some of these ICEholes who arrested protestors in LA lied. Yeah, who knew that someone who could so easily terrorize human beings by kidnapping innocent people off the streets while wearing masks and who make jokes about tossing innocent people into ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ might be moral reprobates?

The ICEhole’s testimony included “false and misleading” statements in their arrest reports. Prosecutors have had to dismiss at least eight cases against Angelenos because their prosecution relied so heavily on false ICEhole claims.

Nine people arrested for “assault” and “impeding” felony cases were paraded around by Pam Bondi in a great show, then, almost immediately, seven of them were released with charges dismissed because the agents lied. Notably, there was less pomp associated with the dismissals.

DHS agents made “false or misleading statements” (they lied) about sequences of events and “misrepresented” incidents captured on video. One guy got arrested for pushing an agent, only to have the video showing the exact opposite – the agent “forcefully” pushed the citizen.

A former California state prosecutor named Cristine Soto DeBerry, now director of a criminal justice reform group called ‘Prosecutors Alliance Action,’ said, “When I see felonies dismissed, that tells me either the federal officers have filed affidavits that are not truthful and that has been uncovered, or US attorneys reviewing the cases realize the evidence does not support the charges.”

She said it’s common that officers call for charges that prosecutors end up not filing, but called it uncommon for the justice department to file and then dismiss those cases – especially numerous felonies in rapid succession. Then she added this little tidbit: “It seems this is a way to detain people, hold them in custody, instill fear, and discourage people from exercising their first amendment rights.” In short, it’s a terror campaign, intended to quell dissent.

The President of the United States is running a terror campaign against the American people. Is THAT how one makes America great again? It seems like petty tyrant bullshit, to me…

Lindsey’s Reward…
Here’s the standard reward for loyalty in the Republican Party: Challenges in elections. Consider this: Lindsey Graham. You know who he is. He’s a senator from South Carolina. He has been as loyal to Donny as anyone can be. He has debased himself on command. He has publicly bent the knee, kissed the ring, and groveled for approval. I’ve known dogs with less enthusiasm for their owners.

So, obviously, Donny is getting a different dog. Graham’s loyalty is being rewarded with a primary run by one of Project 2025’s evil authors, Paul Dans. Dans is an attorney who worked in the first Trump administration as White House liaison to the office of personnel management before going to work for the America-hating Heritage Foundation and working on Project 2025.

Stay loyal to Donny, get primaried anyway. What a great deal. Behave and get primaried or misbehave and get primaried. It seems one should just vote one’s conscience either way. But we know no MAGA can do that. It’s not allowed…

Grass is hard…
This is nothing, really, but did you know 47 paved over the Rose Garden at the White House? The official reason was that the grass was always wet and it was difficult for people in heels to walk on. The thing is, I’ve noticed that Donny is a feeble old man who has difficulty walking under the best of conditions and stands like he has an invisible little holder up his behind, holding him up.

Perhaps, he paved over the Rose Garden because HE can’t easily walk on the grass and the Rose Garden, famously, a place where pressers were held, paid the price…
