Epstein

Our ‘Let Them Eat Cake’ Moment…

by MyBaconPress

We all know that Donny likes to give the game away. He says the quiet part out loud. Inevitably, he tells us what he did, even the criminal things, especially the criminal things. The left likes to portray that as stupid, like, maybe, he doesn’t realize he’s telling on himself. As the Trump/Epstein file thing plays out, though, I’ve started to see it differently. I don’t think he’s accidentally “telling on himself” like the moron we know him to be.

I think he’s bragging. I think he’s letting us know – he’s done something again, he got away with it, and there’s nothing you can do about it. Hell, his entire legal odyssey has been about getting away with crimes using the money he has. Most people simply don’t have the resources to buy their freedom by buying the judge. (I’m pointing at you, Aileen Cannon.)

We all know the wealthy elite live a life of privilege. I suspect we all know they get away with crimes the rest of us don’t, too. After that, the only question for them is, “How far can we go?” I think that’s the whole point to raping the girls. He (they) did it to prove they could. Raping our children is the special little “treat” they get because they’re rich and powerful. I’ve come to believe this is, very much, a “Let them eat cake” moment.

There’s no evidence Marie Antoinette ever actually said those words – she was ten years old the first time the phrase appears – but the phrase was illustrative of the attitude of the French nobles to the masses, who were starving at the time. It reflected the fact that the gentry were living high on the hog, enjoying all of the finer things in life and doing what they wanted to do, while the masses were increasingly starving and desperate. Does any of that sound at all familiar in today’s context?

There’s a story in history known as ‘Droit du seigneur’ (‘right of the lord’), also known as ‘jus primae noctis’ (‘right of the first night’). During feudal times, the idea was that the lord of the manor claimed the right to deflower any young woman on her wedding night. Although there’s no evidence of anyone actually doing so, stories like it go way back in history. Those stories reflect the power and privilege of the “haves” while reinforcing the subjugation and lower status of the “have nots.”

In both of those cases, the message is clear: If you’re rich enough and powerful enough, the law doesn’t apply to you. How better to prove that than get away with otherwise illegal things? And that brings me to the worst part. I think 47 brags that he gets to rape our children because of who he is, because he DOES get to rape our children because of who he is. We, the desperate masses, are being told right now, in real time, every day and to our faces, they get to rape our children if they want to.

Despite his lying claims, the Trump/Epstein files contain tons of incriminating evidence against the guy. Lots of other people, too. But I’ve come to agree with Jon Stewart who says nobody else in the files is going to jail. Jeffrey Epstein went to and died in jail. Ghislaine Maxwell is sitting, comfortably, it seems, in a minimum security prison still enjoying many of the finer things in life, though, admittedly, it IS still prison. But certainly NOT what most people envision when they think of prison.

We KNOW other people appear in the files. Rich and powerful people. We’re watching all of this garbage play out, “Ooh, whose name appears in the files and how many times?” So far, trump holds the record. I guess because he’s the biggest raper, the best raper. But all of that distraction is starting to feel like corporate media protecting rich and powerful people, possibly themselves among them.

It’s just a waste of time to learn that Roy Wood, Jr or Micheal Ian Black appear in the files in the context of television shows they made. I don’t CARE who was using Epstein’s plane to get around, so long as they were just using Epstein’s plane to get around. It’s noise and innuendo and as long as it IS noise and innuendo, both sides can use the vague reports to insinuate wrong-doing on the part of their political opponents. But it doesn’t have to be vague.

There is (was?) recorded evidence against these wealthy, privileged elites committing their crimes with these young ladies in the form of DVDs. Each disc was labeled with “[rich guy]+[victim]” and the date. So, you pick up the first DVD, type the name of the [rich guy] on a piece of paper, and set the disc aside. Then you pick up the next disc and type THAT name. You keep doing that until you’ve gone through all of the DVDs. (Don’t skip Donny’s.) Then you release that list of names. Easy, right? Straightforward, right? It might not even be all encompassing but it’s a great place to start prosecuting.

But nobody is doing that and nobody is going to do that. It’s infuriating. I find myself wondering what the masses are going to do about it. When they say, “We get to rape your children,” do we just shrug? ARE we going to let them get away with THAT, too? There are clearly no cops on the beat to turn to. The cops are protecting the rich, not the kids. What do people do when the cops can not, WILL not act?

The French people rose up. Marie Antoinette found her royal head rolling regally down the street. Perhaps there’s a clue in that. John F. Kennedy said that when you make peaceful revolution impossible, you make violent revolution inevitable. I’m now waiting and watching to see if the American people are really just going to accept what we’re being told, begrudgingly or otherwise…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“I didn’t make a mistake.” More truth. He didn’t make a mistake. He did it on purpose. He posted the video that depicted the Obamas as apes, a classic trope of bigots everywhere. He knew what he was doing. He’s trying to distance himself and blame others today only because the reaction was so bad, even from his own evil people. But this is just more Donny, telling you a truth about who he is. It wasn’t a mistake. It was intentional…

Never-Ending Trumpery…

by MyBaconPress

A brief review: The worst President in the history of Presidentin’ steals his way into power then forces his way into control of the Kennedy Center. His teeny, tiny ego causes him to try to include his name in the name of the building. Nobody complies and it remains ‘The Kennedy Center’ regardless of what he does. But the performers scheduled to appear there – whatever it’s name – don’t WANT to be associated with Donny or anything about him so they start cancelling appearances.

Now, suddenly, The National Embarrassment has declared the Kennedy Center needs to close for renovation. Well, this should be… gaudy. Meretricious, even. (‘Meretricious’ means ‘attracting attention in a vulgar manner – and who is more vulgar than this waste of flesh?) I guess this is his clever ploy to keep from having quality performers canceling gigs because the values of the Kennedy Center, today, are in direct conflict with messages of decency…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well, Todd Blanche, one of Donny’s protective toadies working as hard as he can to obscure details of all those years when Donny was raping children for fun – but ALSO overseeing a prosecutorial review of the Trump/Epstein/Maxwell sex trafficking case because, why not? – has declared the review of the Trump/Epstein/Maxwell sex trafficking case is “over.”

You’ll never guess, so I’ll tell you: It turns out, after all of that, there’s nothing that might warrant further prosecutions. Blanche said. “But that doesn’t mean we can just create evidence or that we can just kind of come up with a case that isn’t there.” This from Team Evil, infamous for “just kind of” coming up with cases that aren’t there.

I guess that means there are no more impediments to getting the Trump/Epstein files out there, then, right? Just release the rest of the information and we’ll ALL take a look at the information and see if anything comes across as actionable by any, you know, competent attorneys. I’ll bet competent attorneys will be able to see something, even if self-blinded Team Evil chooses not to…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well, I didn’t expect this. According to ProPublica, the names of the shooters in Alex Pretti’s murder have been revealed. Weird. Well, maybe. The shooters are Border Patrol agents. Their names? Jesus Ochoa (43) and Raymundo Gutierrez (35). On the one hand, the government is working hard to protect the names of goons in their goon squad. On the other hand, we find out these guys did the shooting. It’s likely just the atmosphere in the world today, but I noticed that the names of the shooters sound rather… Hispanic.

Wouldn’t it be just like Team Evil and the Evil Regime to throw two of their agents under the bus just because those two agents happen to have the same skin tone as the people they’re supposed to be attacking? And how do you suppose Ochoa and Gutierrez made the team in the first place? One would think the minute they showed up at the ICEhole office, they would be hooked up and shipped out. Either way, there’s still no statute of limitations on murder. Add their names to the list for future prosecution…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The dark but inevitable result of deporting people based on a random number (“We have to make 3,000 arrests a day!”) is that you start to arrest people just because they’re people currently available to be arrested. THAT means, that while your bosses are out there, pretending and insisting that you’re only arresting the worst of the worst, you’re actually arresting, say, five-year-old boys in bunny hats.

Right, five-year-old boys in bunny hats that happen to be here, in the US, legally. Five-year-old boys in bunny hats that happen to be here, in the US, legally and have committed no crime. Then, once you HAVE arrested five-year-old boys in bunny hats that happen to be here, in the US, legally and have committed no crime, you might as well ship them to a holding facility in Texas anyway. You DID, after all, go to all the trouble of violating that person’s constitutional rights.

MAGA has been told the father ran. He didn’t. MAGA was told the mother refused to take the boy. That isn’t true, either. In fact, the agents in question refused to let a woman keep custody of the boy. They had a number to hit that day. Arresting the child didn’t do anything to make America safer but it helped the agents to meet their quota. Personally, I think that’s a horrible reason to traumatize a child…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

All I’ve heard is that this new, useless “documentary” about Melanomia is being screened to empty theaters. Well, no. I’ve heard the thing is terrible, devoid of information and misleading, too, but the main thing is, empty theaters. Everywhere, all the time.

Now, suddenly on this fine Monday morning, her movie has suddenly broken all box office expectations and taken in more than $8 million dollars? I suspect a trick. One person, likely, “bought” one showing for $8 million dollars. Two people might have split the cost, $4 million each.

That’s how conservative books hit the bestseller lists, you know. Someone makes a huge investment up front. THAT purchase gets counted in initial sales and adds to the bestseller consideration. THEN, quietly, the books are returned or “remaindered.” It’s a trick to make it LOOK as though someone has written a bestseller when they haven’t done any such thing.

I suspect a similar play here. Everything says this “documentary” is a vapid, vacuous bomb and theaters around the world are reporting ridiculously low ticket sales. The only way it could bring in $8 million dollars is trumpery. Fortunately, these things usually come out. Sooner or later, we’ll learn who the pigeon is. $8 million dollars. That’s the best trick SHE ever turned…

The Betrayals Never Stop…

by MyBaconPress

“People that own their homes, we’re going to keep them wealthy. We’re gonna keep those prices up. We’re not gonna destroy the value of their homes so that someone who didn’t work very hard can buy a home.” – Delusional Donny, the Dumbass.

Everyone knows the cost of housing is too expensive. By now, we all know that the costs are inflated by Wall Street buying up single-family homes as quickly as they hit the market. The euphemism the news likes to use is “inventory shortage.” That’s a misdirect. They use it to support “build more houses,” which Wall Street with also buy as quickly as they hit the market.

You can file this under yet another promise made, promise broken. He promised he was going to lower the cost of housing, or try to. Now he’s saying, blatantly, that, no, he’s not interested in doing that. Instead, he’s going to make sure the Haves keep what they have and the Have-Nots remain empty handed.

The frustrating part is that I still have a functioning long-term memory. I remember that the housing prices have been artificially inflated since the housing bubble created by the derivative market starting in the late 1990s and exploding in the early 2000s. Nobody made any effort to restore realistic pricing after the crash of 2008. Too many people had bought too many homes at inflated prices by then.

In an effort to get the housing market moving again, Wall Street was allowed, for the first time, to buy single-family homes starting in 2011. They didn’t really start digging in until 2014 but once they did, they began consuming with abandon. Donny promised to address the problem. The fix is so simple, even he could actually get it done so when he said it, I kept an open mind.

All we have to do is return to the days when Wall Street was barred from buying single family homes and require them to divest their single family holdings in a fairly short time period. I recommend two to five years. The only bill I’ve heard of that covers the topic says ten years. I think that’s too long, but I’d take it over the current, “Screw you, it’s mine!” we have now…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Hell is empty and all the devils are here.” Ariel in ‘The Tempest,’ and, somehow, the most accurate description of our once beloved government. That Shakespeare guy was really pretty good…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hold on to your wallets. There goes the dollar. Donny has made his pick for the next Fed Chair: Kevin Warsh, a loyalist toady with no more knowledge of the economy than the Orange Moron himself. Actually, Warsh’s level of understanding won’t be relevant. Warsh’s job will be to do what Donny tells him to do without question or hesitation. It won’t MATTER if Warsh knows a choice trump has made is a bad move, he’ll do it because he’s ordered to do it.

That destabilizes the dollar. People are already fleeing the US dollar in droves and, if I may bastardize a Bachman-Turner Overdrive song, “B-b-b-baby, we just ain’t seen n-n-nothin’ yet.” Messing with the money is a common last straw for empires throughout history. I don’t care how special we see ourselves, it will be no different for us…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Remember, every accusation from a con is an admission. Donny is claiming protestors in Minneapolis are being paid to be there. Donny is a known liar and hasn’t got one shred of evidence to prove his lie. He just says it. His source? One should see his lie as proof that Donny pays people to attend his rallies, protests, and insurrections. We KNOW his campaign paid to have some of the violent criminals present on J6, for example. We also know – nobody has to pay Americans to protest this regime…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Holy Gods, we’ve been coming at this from entirely the wrong direction. It’s a much, much shorter list to ask, “Which rich and powerful men currently in, or coming into, the current regime do NOT appear in the Trump/Epstein Files? Because the more information comes out – as slowly as possible, and now we know why – the more it seems that if you ever hung around Donny socially, you raped kids.

That’s got to be hyperbole, right? But, Jeez, it sure seems like everyone surrounding him now, makes appearances in the Trump/Epstein files. It’s important to remember, there are names, lots of names in those files, of people Epstein was trying to schmooze or testing the waters of interest but didn’t do anything sexual with any minors. But now we know, there are plenty who did.

And, listen, just as a sidebar, aren’t you amazed – boggled might be a better word – at the sheer volume of files these guys have under their control? I would have been happy with just a list of the names on the DVDs Epstein recorded, apparently secretly. Those are the pervs I’m most interested in because those seem to be the DVDs Epstein used to blackmail people for having sex with minors. Um… allegedly.

But millions of files? At some point, we, the people have to ask how long so-called “important” people knew about this and did nothing – except, maybe, participate. Why did Epstein get a sweetheart deal the first time he got arrested and why wasn’t he arrested again sooner? Sadly, we all know the answer. Under normal circumstances, rich people get to rape poor people. Special rules for special people, you know. But I digress.

It’s the casual emails giving away the game right now. Elon wanted to know “What day/night will be the wildest party on your island?” Howard Lutnick wanted to have a family vacation on the island. Okay, sure a family vacation doesn’t seem like anything nefarious, but kinky is kinky and we don’t know Lutnick or his family. Or, perhaps, the “family” was just the excuse. The emails seem to confirm at least one dinner Lutnick attended on Epstein’s island, with no mention of any family. There are more. Many more.

AFTER the publicity started damaging reputations, both Lutnick and Elon puked out the same story, “I didn’t know the guy and I never hung around with the guy.” But both Lutnick and Elon have email exchanges with Donny’s best friend from back when things were still private, working out times to get together and hang around.

I’ll tell you this: It’s just me, but I’m giving higher consideration to the emails written under the comfort of assumed privacy than the public disclaimers. That is to say, I think Elon and Lutnick are lying when they insist they didn’t know or interact with Jeffrey Epstein and/or Ghislaine Maxwell and now, because of their own lies, I suspect they DID have sex with minors…

The Never-Ending Reveal…

by MyBaconPress

A MILLION more files? Good Lord, when the FBI – the old one, the one that did the job – got going, they didn’t mess around, eh? Team Evil has just announced the “discovery” of over a million new Trump/Epstein files from the Southern District of New York (SDNY).
“Wait, the Trump/Epstein files?”
“Yeah, the dude likes to slap his disgusting name on everything and he insists his name come first. I just beat him to the punch on this one. I think time will show how correct that is, too.”
Apparently, it’s going to take them a few more weeks to dig through them and redact Donny’s name from the possibly thousands and thousands of times mentioned. (Possible hyperbole alert, there. Possible.)

Donny said he had never been on Epstein’s plane. Well, that was just a lie and now the world has the documents to prove it. Word is, Donny traveled on Epstein’s plane to an island neighboring Epstein’s island, too. Do you believe Donny got so close to Epstein’s island for some reason that did not include going to the island? Wanna buy a bridge?

The (in)Justice Department is pretending to work feverishly to get all the Trump/Epstein files out in a timely fashion and for all the world to see, so long as it takes as long as possible to process them and the world doesn’t see anything. Meanwhile, Donny seems to be feeling the pressure when it comes to these files. Nothing he has tried has worked. He can’t deflect from his involvement. Every time he tries, some new tidbit comes out that supports his participation.

Hell, from my point of view, revelations keep making things worse for him. I’ve already moved from 47 as participant to 47 as purveyor because of the information being uncovered – and that’s while the DOJ is doing it’s ridiculously incompetent best to protect him…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Before we get too far from these Trump/Epstein files, did you see what Donny wrote on Christmas? His Christmas wish to the world? Sometimes, Donny gives up the game when he doesn’t mean to. He wrote: “Merry Christmas to all (that part’s nice), including the many Sleazebags (Oh, oh, here we go.) who loved Jeffrey Epstein (like DJT), gave him bundles of money (DJT), went to his Island (DJT), attended his parties (DJT), and thought he was the greatest guy on earth (DJT), only to ‘drop him like a dog’ when things got too HOT, falsely claimed they had nothing to do with him (DJT), didn’t know him (DJT), said he was a disgusting person (DJT), and then blame, of course, President Donald J. Trump (sic), who was actually the only one who did drop Epstein, and long before it became fashionable to do so.”

That’s a long paragraph because that’s what rambling looks like. If you ask me, it was awfully helpful of him to lay out so many details of the relationship…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Donny The Dotard has faced numerous scandals since descending that escalator on that dark day in 2015. For reasons that defy all attempts and reasonable explanation, he has managed to lie his way out of the vast majority of them. But these days, there are two that seem to have stuck: The Trump/Epstein Files and the economy.

Most of his other scandals have been less in-your-face. He can lie about boats in the Caribbean, for example, because MAGA isn’t in the Caribbean. But MAGA IS in grocery stores and it doesn’t matter how many times he says prices are down when their wallets are so much lighter at the checkout stand.

MAGA media has worked as hard as they could to protect Donny from the reality of the Trump/Epstein files, too, but the more information that leaks out – and it’s legion, at this point – the harder it is to pretend the Trump/Epstein bromance was in any way innocent.

Donny seems to be feeling the weight of not one, but two millstones around his neck. It’s possible he can still survive the Trump/Epstein Files and the economy – the devil takes care of his own, after all – but if a third crisis rears it’s ugly head, and it sticks, I suspect Donny will be sunk, once and for all. C’mon third crisis…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There’s this woman, Tina Peters. MAGA, to no one’s surprise. She really, really wanted Donny to win the 2020 election. So, with all of the integrity of a standard MAGA, she cheated. She was found guilty in a Colorado court of allowing a man to misuse a security card to access to the Mesa County election system and for being deceptive about that person’s identity. In truth, it was a team of people and they were so confident in what they were doing, they even ordered lunch in.

It turns out they worked with Mike Lindell, the failed pillow guy who just can’t conceive that Donny might have lost, despite easily having been the worst President in history until this current clown. Lindell has been shouting into the wind about having evidence the election was rigged, but has yet to show even a single legitimate document supporting his claims. Lindell is lying. Peters lied, too.

Peters ended up being convicted on three counts of attempting to influence a public servant, one count of conspiracy to commit criminal impersonation, first-degree official misconduct, violation of duty, and failing to comply with the secretary of state. She was sentenced to nine years in prison.

Our moronic misleader doesn’t understand why she should be in prison just for helping him cheat in the election. He thinks she should be free to cheat again. So, he wrote her a pardon. It was performative. He thought it might pressure state officials to release her from their state prison on all of those state charges. His big problem? “State.” It turns out, he has no pardon authority over state crimes and Colorado helpfully reminded him of the fact – then refused to release Peters.

Then Colorado had some wild fires. As it happens, the fires occurred in a district represented by a Republican. Donny denied requests for assistance anyway. He’s now tying emergency aid to Colorado’s willingness to free felons from prison? Well, at least that’s the speculation. They haven’t said so specifically. In fact, they promised their decision was policy, not politics, which, coming from Team Evil, practically guarantees the decision was politics, not policy. Or that the policy IS politics. Take your pick.

These are MAGA voters he’s leaving twisting in the wind. I approve. They get to see what they voted for. They get to feel what they voted for. Maybe, just maybe, they’ll start to realize that they can stay conservative without supporting a politician that won’t support them. He has already moved soy farmers from productive, self-sustaining workers to welfare recipients. Now he’s doing the same to MAGA in Colorado. I’m watching to see how much abuse MAGA will absorb, but then, I’m often startled by how much abuse some people will take…

Jeffrey, Jeffrey, Jeffrey…

by MyBaconPress

This is an ‘All Jeffrey, all the time’ post. Things are moving pretty quickly now that the Epstein Files are coming out. Team Evil is desperately trying to look like they’re cooperating with the law while working overtime to NOT cooperate with the law. “Here’s the file, but you can’t read it.” The cat and mouse game has inspired some thoughts and a caution on my part. Remember, this is just an overview. There’s a LOT going on right now…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It’s the typical standard from Team Clownishly Evil. Unless and until they fix it, some clever person out there discovered that if one copies the all-black pages and pastes them into another text reader, the text that had been redacted is no longer redacted and now reads clearly. Apparently, it doesn’t work on all of the pages but I’ll bet there’s an army of people right now downloading file after file to read the contents.

The down side is that uncovering the text uncovers the names of victims, too, but at this point, many of the victims are already known. The obvious up side is that everyone gets to see what those files say AND what, exactly, the government is redacting. People investigating the issue have already discovered redactions that seem to have been done just to add some black to the page.

Also, in their search function, they blocked the ability to find “Trump,” but not the ability to find “Trump .” See the space after? So far, people have discovered well over 600 references to Trump. He’s all over those files. The incompetence of Team Evil is one of humanity’s greatest allies…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I advise caution. Do you remember Dan Rather? He was a reporter with CBS back when CBS was an honest and honorable news outlet. That is, before Bari Weiss. He had gotten hold of a story about at-the-time President Bush 43. George, it seems, avoided service in Vietnam by signing up for a National Guard “Champagne Unit.” It was a typical dodge of rich kids back in the day.

But then, 43 couldn’t even be bothered to go to the weekend obligations. Apparently, he never reported for duty. That was the story. There was much back and forth on the subject until, miraculously, a letter appeared that supported the story perfectly. Too perfectly, as it happens.

When asked about it, the secretary said she did type such a letter for her commander. The letter in question summed up the details of 43’s “service” nicely, she said, but that particular letter wasn’t the letter she had typed. The letter was a fake, a plant. Dan Rather, a seasoned newsman, had fallen for it and reported it as authentic.

Not only did it end Rather’s tenure as a newsreader on CBS, it ended the debate. Even though the secretary had said the information in the letter reflected the letter she had typed, meaning it was accurate, because it wasn’t the actual letter, the entire issue went away.

The reason I mention that is this: it is not beyond the realm of comprehension that Team Evil might plant fake stories into the Epstein files. The idea would be to get people going on this or that fake thing then prove it’s fake, trying to undermine the entire issue. Based on their redacting skills, it might not take long to identify fake entries but I recommend moving slowly on “discoveries.” This team of morons is likely to try anything. Fortunately for us, they’re morons…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I’m going to presume that Team Evil didn’t expect this particular response from Bill Clinton. I think they thought they could just release a bunch of pictures of Bill around Jeffrey and everything would come up roses for Donny. Maybe everyone would forget that Donny’s name has been redacted throughout. Maybe we’d all forget that it was DONNY who was Jeffrey’s best friend for so, so long. Maybe, the left would fear that Bill was going to be caught up in the whole mess and back down on the Epstein things to protect him.

That last part was never going to work. I’ve spoken to many people on the left. All of them say, if Bill is in there, let him suffer the consequences. The left just wants these perverted, insecure men to pay a price for their crimes. We’re not even looking at political parties in the scheme. Decent people consider party affiliation irrelevant.

Still, whatever it was Team Evil expected, they do not seem to have expected Bill to challenge them to bring it all out, every page, every photo. “Let’s stop with the innuendo,” Bill challenged, “Show us the whole thing, unredacted (except to protect the victims). Put it ALL out there, Donny. All of it. Let’s see who’s implicated.” You gotta love Bill’s brass…

Free, Premium Health Coverage

by MyBaconPress

Well, they’re gone. The House, I mean. They went home for Christmas. Isn’t that nice? WHEN they go home, each and every one of them – Republican, Democrat, Independent, et al, – ALL of them enjoy the safety and security that comes with having free, premium health coverage.

While enjoying their free, premium health coverage, Republicans took health insurance from millions of Americans with their so-called ‘Big, Beautiful Bill.’ It ain’t so “beautiful” to it’s victims, I can tell you that. While enjoying their free, premium health coverage, Republicans promised they were going to fix everyone up with a new, better way – but they never offered anything that might serve.

While enjoying their free, premium health coverage, Democrats tried to force Republican’s hands with a budget battle back in September. Democrats lost that battle by standing down after procuring nothing more than a promise to vote on the subsidies they had eliminated. That is, the Democrats relied on the word of Republicans. How stupid was that?!?

While enjoying their free, premium health coverage, the vote came but the subsides did not. The measure by the Republicans, which passed along party lines, does not include the subsidies and is considered a non-starter in the Senate, but while enjoying their free, premium health coverage, Republicans can tell constituents they voted on a package.

While Congress Critters are enjoying their free, premium health coverage, the estimate I’ve seen for the price increase on premiums is around $1,016 – PER MONTH! That’s the ‘Merry Christmas’ Americans get from Republicans in Congress. I don’t know if you’re aware, but all of this is occurring while members of Congress enjoy free, premium health coverage…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Everyone is still angry at our moronic misleader over his Epstein involvement. The information that was released is a) insufficient, b) incomplete, and c) heavily doctored to implicate Democrats and protect Republicans – one Republican in particular.

The idea appears to have been to try to throw suspicion on Democrats and pretend no conservatives were caught up with Epstein. THAT, the hope seems to have been, will get people to stand down on this, right? Conservative dingbat Laura Loomer wrote, “It’s pretty rich how the Democrats falsely accused President Trump of being a pedophile, only for the Trump DOJ to release Epstein files that show Bill Clinton skinny-dipping with a pedophile in the pedo’s pool. Maybe now the media will stop obsessing over these files.” (Emphasis added by me.)

Then again, maybe not. It remains true that honest brokers don’t give two figs about the political affiliations of the people involved. Also, everyone – and I DO mean everyone – has noticed the release has been carefully manipulated to highlight Bill Clinton’s involvement while redacting Donny’s. Oh, AND there’s no evidence he was “skinny-dipping.” And it was all done so… skillfully. Why, I haven’t seen THAT level of clever since the last time a six-year-old tried to cover up a misdeed.

One year, our kids knocked over our Christmas tree. They knew they had messed up, badly, and they tried to “fix” it. To their credit, they managed to get the thing back upright. Then they put the ornaments back and – voila! – misdeed hidden, right? Well, it might have been – except that when they put the ornaments back on, they grouped them all in one place and no higher than their little hands could reach. It’s fair to say, we noticed. Secretly, we laughed. But their “fix” caused questions.

That’s how I feel watching this group of supposedly adult clowns trying to manage the release of the Epstein files that indicts anyone and everyone except Donny, who was probably not just a participant but part of the trafficking team. Their efforts at manipulating the files is SO poor, so… effing juvenile, well, now there are more questions, not fewer.

Personally, I just want to ask the victims. It has to be said, not every person is perfectly honest in every moment. Even if they mean to be, honest people make honest mistakes. But I’d guess these now women have a pretty solid memory of what happened, when, and with whom. I think we could ask the women, then corroborate their stories with information from the files. I think of that as a witness statement supported by evidence. What a radical idea.

It has the advantage of bypassing the stonewalling of Donny and Team Evil. It has the advantage of getting the information out there, without devolving into a ‘he said, she said.’ It has the advantage of NOT giving more consideration to the dead guy than the living victims. Witness statements supported by evidence is a pretty good standard. Let’s use that…

Hey, MAGA, this last bit is just for you. I want to make sure we’re all clear about something. Look, nobody is asking you to become liberal. Nobody is asking you to betray core beliefs about fiscal prudence and smaller government. The rest of us are only asking you to stand against corruption. It just so happens that in this case, the corrupt politicians are Republicans but that part is just a coincidence. You don’t have to stop being Republican or conservative just because you stand up to corruption.

In fact, you stand up to corruption to defend yourself. You stand against corruption, no matter which party, because you love America and you want to preserve the Constitution. You stand against corruption to maintain your right to see things the way you see things, not the way you’re told to see things by someone else. Nobody is asking you to stand against Republicans. Nobody is asking you to stand against conservatism. We’re only asking you to stand against corruption.

I’m not even going to summarize the corruption in question. I don’t need to. I know you see it. The rest of us suspect you hate it as much as we do. We believe you know you’ll suffer from it right along with everyone else. (Check your health insurance cost right after you get back from the grocery store.) You defend it because you think this is a Democrat/Republican thing. It isn’t. If you acknowledge Donny hasn’t gotten the job done – for anybody but himself, anyway – you don’t have to switch parties.

It just feels like it needed to be said…

An Awful Lot Of Stupid…

by MyBaconPress

It’s the law, right? The Epstein files must be released by Friday, 12/19. Today, 12/20, some of the files have been released, though heavily redacted. Democrats are pointing out that what was released and how it was released is not in compliance with the law. Cons are insisting this is the most transparent presidency in history, clearly proving they do not know the meaning of the word, ‘transparent.’ Here’s a hint: if Team Evil was being transparent, the world would be able to read the words in the files. Pretty simple, really.

Based on Donny’s behavior around all of this mess, I believe – and I mean I genuinely believe – Donald J. Trump raped or caused to be raped underage, adolescent girls. There is simply NO other explanation for the way he hides and obfuscates the information the FBI collected. I suppose he’s free to sue me for saying so, but the first thing I’ll demand in discovery is the entire Epstein data cache. Unredacted. But, for clarity, it’s just a personal belief. Sure, it’s one I think I share with millions, perhaps billions, of people on planet Earth, but it’s just a personal belief.

I wonder if anybody is surprised he released a pile of useless information that does nothing to move the case forward. Over 550 pages were completely redacted, just a series of black lines. Yeah, that’s helpful. The part the confuses me the most about his reticence to release the files is the why.

Look, if you’re not MAGA, you already know who and how he is. You already really don’t like him and you can’t wait for him to go away. You don’t NEED him to die, but if that’s the only way to get rid of him, you’re hoping and praying, daily, for Divine Intervention. If you ARE MAGA, you don’t care that he rapes kids. Hell, you’d drive your daughter to his house and leave her there – or even hold her down – if your Precious asked you to.

I might expect some pushback on that last sentence but MAGA’S moral malignancy is already clearly apparent for any and all to see. You happily killed family members when he wanted to pretend Covid-19 was a hoax. Why wouldn’t you sacrifice your daughter or grand-daughter to the darkest whims of your Precious? Yet, here he is, cowering in his hidey-hole, afraid someone might notice the reality of him…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Okay, really? The Trump-Kennedy Center? That’s just disgusting. Maybe ‘putrid’ is a better word. I DID throw up in my mouth a little when I heard. He infested the Kennedy Center when he stole his way into the White House and the board was all hand picked by him. Primary criteria? Soothe and nurture his tiny, fragile ego. It’s the same job description as every person who surrounds him. So, when he said he wanted his name on the Kennedy Center, they put his name on the Kennedy Center. Keep the baby from having a tantrum.

I think he killed the Kennedy Center for the foreseeable future. I mean, the only performers that will show up are MAGA has-beens or never-weres. Who wants to see that? Once he goes away – and at this point, that can’t be soon enough – we’ll have to have the place fumigated. Maybe we should bring in some medicine men to exorcise the demons. Probably, we’ll just have to knock the place down. He just ruins everything…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Because we’re following Donny, we’re moving from putrid to petty. I’d say he acts like a three year old but that’s an insult to three-year olds. He put bronze plaques under photos of the previous presidents – except Biden, of course, whose “portrait” is a signature done by Autopen, because one can NOT be petty enough. I thought that was bad but then, as usual, he out-pettied even himself. The plaques are supposed to be blurbs about each President. A normal human would have said something nice about the guy and moved on. Not these. Keywords? “Normal human.”

Apparently, these are attacks on the people who have held the job before him. Petty, minuscule-minded attacks that, in summary, leave him described as the best President ever, despite ALL of the mountains of evidence to the contrary. But, look, Donny trying to convince somebody – anybody – that he is in any way competent or qualified to do this, or any, job while stroking his own ego just as hard as he can is nothing new. That’s just 47. But, quick question.

How much did all of that cost? Bronze plaques and gaudy golden fixtures are disgusting to look at and not cheap. I keep wondering, how can he have the highest deficit in the history of the nation when he hasn’t been spending on the American people? Where’s the money going? No, I don’t think he has spent a trillion dollars on plaques and gold fixtures. But that just begs the question: where is all of that money going? He’s putting it somewhere, by God…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

47 didn’t even WANT to give that speech. Maybe that was why he seemed so angry. He had other, FAR less useful things to focus his attention on. His whole bit was about how awesome he is and how successful he’s been and how much better than everyone else he is and what a great job he’s done and oh, yeah, how great he is and you can, too, afford your life because he said so and he’s great and you’re not so just Shut The Facts Up! (I confess, I’m not sure that ‘Facts’ is the F word that goes there.) I mean, for such a resounding success, he sure sounded angry.

Susan Wiles made him do it, at least according to him. He didn’t really have anything to say so he just rolled out mostly a greatest hits speech and repeated many of his favorite lies. By the way, I read in ‘The Daily Beast’ where they reported he “fired off mistruth after mistruth.” More euphemism. Why? Why not just call them what they are: lies? What’s so hard about that? Donny lied and lied. It’s easier to read and it’s easier to understand. But I digress.

One of the lies he told was about a “warrior dividend.” He promised some troops were going to receive checks in the amount of $1,776 dollars. He said it was coming from his tariff dividend, which he has promised to various groups at various times but not one of them has seen a dime because, despite his lying claims, the tariffs are a disaster. But worse, that money that he promised HE was going to send from the tariffs was already authorized by Congress from your tax dollars.

It’s a housing allowance for some service members who don’t live in base housing. Congress authorized the money earlier this year. Donny has rebranded the money as some largess that came from him. Ho hum, just another lie from the Father of Lies.

In fact, Paul Simon summed up Trump’s entire speech in a song called ‘the Boxer’ years ago when he wrote: “Lie, lie, lie. Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie. Lie, lie, lie. Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie.” Perhaps not Simon’s best poetry, but succinct and dead on years before Donny became the problem he is for the world. THAT is some quality insight, right there…

Could someone please explain to me how Venezuela “took away” oil from America? What did they do, hide it underground in Venezuela just to pump it back out again later? Is that moron REALLY trying to convince the rubes that war is okay because Venezuela STOLE our oil? I simply can NOT believe that the recipient of the first-ever FIFA Peace Prize is going to lie his way into a foreign war – and for the ridiculously stupid reason of stealing their oil, an outdated energy source we should no longer be using. It’s a stupid act for a stupid reason endorsed by a stupid person. That’s an awful lot of stupid…

Backfires…

It’s weird, isn’t it? Donny said many times, that tariffs don’t raise prices. People who DO know what they’re talking about said the tariffs would increase prices. Donny insisted the people who know what they’re talking about don’t know what they’re talking about. He imposed his tariffs and, inconceivably, prices went up, just like the experts warned. Donny continued to insist tariffs don’t raise prices. Prices went up even more, again, just like the experts warned. People started getting mad at Donny over the ridiculously high prices and finally, Donny responded – by lowering tariffs on several, select grocery items.

I guess we’re not supposed to figure out that tariffs that never increase prices, nevertheless increased prices, and lowering the tariffs, which clearly did NOT increase prices, is hoped to bring prices back down anyway for some ethereal, unconnected reason. I write “hoped” because Donny has handed corporations a perfect excuse to raise prices and I’ve NEVER seen a corporation that could pass up such largess, so, we’ll see…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There was a headline in Tuesday’s ‘USA Today,’ “Trump’s dominance shows signs of slipping amid Epstein saga and affordability woes.” I think it’s more about the “affordability woes.” MAGA has been able to successfully overlook every moral failing of their Precious based entirely on the idea that as a successful businessman, he – and ONLY he – could save the economy.

There are only two problems with that thinking: one, he’s not a successful businessman, and two, even if he was, governments aren’t supposed to run like businesses. I mean, do YOU want your government operating on a profitability model? I surely do not. As it becomes undeniable that he has no clue how to address the economy, though, MAGA seems to be losing tolerance for his moral failings, as well.

Still, it was pretty nifty, the way Congress finally got it all together and passed the law to release the Epstein files. 47 said he would sign it but 47 lies about everything so we had to wait and see, but he did. Then, everything not related to an ongoing investigation can be disgorged into the public for detailed and intense scrutiny as both parties try to “out-evil” each other.
“We found eight democRATS in those files!”
“We found fifteen Republicans in the files!”
“We found Larry Summers in the files!”
“We found Donald Trump in the files – 27, 246 times!”

They really DID find a prince in those files and now the cloud has consumed Sarah Ferguson. Her latest children’s book has been withdrawn and “pulped.” (Why, yes, that DOES mean destroyed.) She stayed friends with Epstein even after his crimes were discovered. Now she’s having her royal titles withdrawn as well.

Oh, but hold the phone. That part, “everything NOT related to an ongoing investigation.” Didn’t Donny just order a frivolous investigation of Democrats – and only Democrats – that might appear in the Epstein files? Wouldn’t that mean that even with the passage and signing of the law he won’t “be able” to release the FBI files? He sure is a slippery eel, isn’t he? Or perhaps it’s just a coincidence…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Okay, so, what now? This really IS my favorite story of the week. As you may recall, Texas launched a redistricting war with a midterm redistricting intended and designed to give Republicans five more House seats through the glories of gerrymandering. California responded by temporarily changing THEIR electoral maps to create five more Democratic seats, also through the glories of gerrymandering, to offset the Republican effort.

NOW, a federal court has ruled that Texas doesn’t get to use their re-jiggered map. The court ruled that it was pretty clear the map had been based on racial considerations. Surprisingly, that’s still a no-no in this once-great nation. California was only planning to use THEIR map if Texas used theirs and a court has ruled Texas can’t use theirs. Does California then abandon their plan? CAN they?

Texas, you will not be surprised to hear, is asking the Roberts Supremely Corrupt Kangaroo Court to overturn the lower court’s ruling, which they likely will because it’s what their Precious wants. But what if they don’t? Because Texas is appealing the ruling and time is so short, California has little choice but to move forward with it’s own gerrymandered map based on the possibility Texas moves forward with theirs. The filing dates may well be passed by the time a ruling is handed down.

It’s only one way it could be, but I can see a reality in which the Corrupt court says Texas can’t use their map but California moves ahead with their map – giving California five more seats to “offset” five seats Texas DOESN’T get! That would be a jarring backfire of the GOP attempted steal, but I’m pretty sure I would laugh and laugh…

“Quiet, Piggy.” Donny actually said that to a reporter who asked a question he didn’t like. A woman, of course. He’s really very disrespectful to women, have you noticed? My how very… juvenile. These days, Donny seems less like a master verbal fencer and more like a petulant and childish brat.

For some reason, “Quite, Piggy” seems to have hit a nerve all of the other horrible things he says to people have not. 47 uses rudeness as a defense all the time. He regularly mouths off at people. MAGA generally sees it as tough talk and they like it regardless of how boorish it shows him to be.

But this poor woman, a reporter, was simply asking a question. It wasn’t even an unreasonable question. His response was mean-spirited. That seems appropriate. He HAS a mean spirit. But for some reason, “Quite, Piggy” has started an avalanche of criticism from both sides of the aisle.

Now that he has taken to falling asleep pretty much anywhere he happens to be, he needs to drop his insult about Joe Biden being “Sleepy Joe,” and I really, really think he should take a gander at a mirror before he calls anybody else “Piggy.” Between him and Catherine Lucey, the reporter he attacked, I say he’s the piggiest piggy…

Failing and Flailing…

It just makes your head want to explode sometimes, doesn’t it? The “Justice” Department is joining California Republicans in their lawsuit to stop California from doing what Texas did: gerrymander the state to favor one party, the Democrats. California ONLY did what they did a) temporarily, and b) because Texans gerrymandered Texas to favor one party, the Republicans.

Not only did the “Justice” Department NOT sue Texas, the Texas rigging was 47’s idea. He proclaimed he “deserved” five more seats in the House and Texas gerrymandered to accommodate his selfish ambitions. In joining the suit against California but not Texas, the administration made some pretty startling comments.

“California’s redistricting scheme is a brazen power grab that tramples on civil rights and mocks the democratic process,” mused Pam Bondi, the US attorney general. “Governor Newsom’s attempt to entrench one-party rule and silence millions of Californians will not stand.”

“Texas’ redistricting scheme is ALSO a brazen power grab that tramples on civil rights and mocks the democratic process,” Pam Bondi could have added, but didn’t, “but Governor Abbott’s attempt to entrench one-party rule and silence millions of Texans will be just fine.”

The thing is, this whole kerfuffle kicked off when the Roberts Supremely Corrupt, Kangaroo Court ruled that Federal courts do not have jurisdiction to hear cases regarding partisan gerrymandering. A federal court can still step in, for now, if the gerrymandering is seen as racial, though, so that’s how the GOP and the criminal regime filed their official California whine.

They claimed the new map was drawn “to favor Hispanics.” Well, they had to say something, right? The suit had to pretend the gerrymander was racial. So, that’s what they did. Evil is evil, not stupid. But “We want to cheat but we don’t want YOU to cheat,” isn’t a very inspiring message. Nor is it particularly convincing. I’d bet racial considerations were not a factor so I imagine Team Evil will lose the fight…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I saw a headline in Friday’s ‘Guardian.’ It read, “Democrat Eric Swalwell faces federal criminal inquiry for alleged mortgage fraud.” When I read it, I laughed out loud. I guess Team Evil thinks they’re really on to something with these pretended charges. The thing is, we all KNOW the regime is just making things up in an effort to harass their political opponents.

We also know that several of the minions working in the regime could easily face the exact same charges – and, apparently, the evidence is stronger against Donny’s Dumbasses than it is against the Dems facing those charges. So far, the charges haven’t held up and I doubt this one will, either. Swalwell will start at ‘Selective Prosecution’ and move from there. I remember a time when Republicans pretended to think that frivolous lawsuits were a bad thing…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Part of the “clean” GOP Continuing Resolution (CR) that just passed when the Dems took a dive is a provision that allows GOP Senators to give themselves up to a million dollars each if their name and phone number appeared in a legal document during one of Donny’s many, many trials. The list wasn’t released to the public. No other information was presented. They weren’t violated in any way. But they get a fistful of dollars – ’cause they want it.

Other members of the GOP are pretending the provision was a surprise. They say they’re angry about it and they’re going to remove that provision. You know, eventually. They’ll get to it, sooner or later, you betcha, cause it was bad, bad, bad. Or they won’t and the GOP will gift themselves millions.

But if you’re a working American who can’t make ends meet in our corrupt society? No, nothing for you. In fact, you’re already leeching way too much, living way too high on the hog with all of those generous SNAP benefits. Pull yourselves up by your bootstraps – assuming you have boots, of course. You don’t even get a penny, cause we don’t make those anymore…

From time to time, I get called out by conservatives for calling them Nazis. I get that. I wouldn’t want to be called a Nazi, either. Now, for the record, I don’t actually call them Nazis. I say they’re acting like Nazis. Maybe they’re NOT Nazis but when one lives life like a Nazi, one should not be surprised when others suspect that maybe one IS a Nazi. Okay, so maybe I’ve misjudged. Let’s take a look, shall we?

When the Nazis – the actual Nazis – were sending people to prison, literally by the trainload, they stole the personal effects of their victims. They took wedding rings and gold crowns from teeth. If the victims of the Nazis had owned cell phones, they would have taken those, too. Anything of value, the Nazis stole it.

As it happens, when the ICEholes roll up one of their victims and haul them away, they steal their personal effects, too. Wedding and engagement rings, cell phones, anything of value, the ICEholes steal it. If (when) it turns out a victim was detained “in error,” you know, because they’re an American citizen or some other frivolous reason like that, they victim in question is released – but the ICEholes keep their valuables.

I say again, if people are going to do the same things the Nazis did, I’m going to continue to insist that they’re ACTING like Nazis, because they are. If you don’t like it, change the behavior…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As the walls close in on Donny and his Epstein involvement, he has decided to focus on Democrats. He’s siccing the DOJ on various high-profile Democrats to ascertain the association between them and Jeffrey Epstein. I suspect, the idea is an attempt to frighten lefties into standing down. “Oh my God,” he thinks liberals will say, “He might implicate our hero Bill Clinton so we’d better disregard our desire to see what Trump did to those girls.”

Here’s the thing: Bill Clinton isn’t my hero. Furthermore, I’m not MAGA. I don’t make decisions about guilt based on political affiliation, like MAGA does. My determinations are based on the facts at hand. If it turns out Bill Clinton – or any other Democrat or independent, for that matter – took advantage of the “delights” Jeffrey Epstein had on offer, they should stand trial and go to jail if convicted.

I don’t know a lefty who feels differently. I don’t know a MAGA who can say the same…

It’s only nepotism when the left does it:
Remember when cons were all apoplectic about the possibility that Hunter Biden might have been trading on his famous father’s name? They couldn’t beLIEVE the outrage! Now, a company backed by Donny Jr has been contracted by the US military to build drone engines.

Somehow, cons don’t see any problem. Curiouser and curiouser…

A tale of two countries:
Andrew, the Andrew formerly known as a prince, isn’t a prince anymore. In fact, he’s lost all of his titles. He has to move out of the royal mansion he has lived in for more than twenty years and get (and pay for) his own digs. He won’t be part of any royal functions going forward. He is as “out” as a royal could possibly be short of one of England’s rather infamous beheadings.

Why? His known association with Jeffrey Epstein. To be clear, there have been no charges to answer (yet) and no trial confirming criminal behavior. He hasn’t – and likely won’t – confess to his participation. He denies it, entirely. And STILL, he’s losing it all. That’s England.

Across the pond, Americans have someone with a known association with Jeffrey Epstein, too. To be clear, there have been no charges to answer (yet) and no trial confirming criminal behavior. He hasn’t – and likely won’t – confess to his participation. He denies it, entirely. But he gets to be ostensible President of the United States and stuff his pockets full of stolen money while punishing anybody who has ever ruffled his feathers.

The Brits handled it far better…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Profiles in negotiation:
So, if I’ve got this right, after Donny’s visit with Xi in China, there now exists a trade environment between the US and China that matches the trade environment that existed in January of this year. Let’s look at the same idea another way, shall we?

After over eight months of shenanigans, unnecessary pain, suffering, and expense, Donny has now managed to get US/China trade relations back to where Joe Biden had them in the first place. Art of the Deal, I guess…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Okay, this is weird. There’s a guy named Taylor Taranto. No, that’s not the weird part. He’s a MAGA convicted of live-streaming a bomb threat. He was arrested as he drove near President Obama’s house with a bunch of guns and ammo. You know, because of all of that violence from the left. The DOJ issued a sentencing memo in which they asked for 27 months in prison. When a prosecutor issues a sentencing memo, they include other, pertinent information about the defendant so the judge knows exactly with whom he’s dealing.

The original filing mentioned Taranto’s J6 charges – and briefly described the day’s events, writing that “thousands of people comprising a mob of rioters attacked the U.S. Capitol.” Uh-oh. That’s an accurate, if short, description of Trump’s Insurrection at the Capitol. But Donny doesn’t allow accurate descriptions of Trump’s Insurrection at the Capitol.

Most especially when it turns out, as it does in this case, that the defendant, Taranto, was one of the many political pardon beneficiaries Donny issued on day one, only to see the guy re-arrested for other violent crimes and threats later. Those stupid pardons are pretty much the only “Day One” promise he’s kept. Well, that and being a dictator on Day One. He seems to be keeping that “promise” too. (It’s more of a threat, really.)

And HOW did Tartanto gain access to President Barack Obama’s home address? I mean, is it in your Rolodex? I suspect one does NOT just call information and ask. Well, I suppose you can ask, but you ain’t gettin‘. So how did Taranto get it? Why, the filing covered that, too. Taranto got the address when Donny posted it online.

The two prosecutors who signed the sentencing memo, Carlos Valdivia and Samuel White, found themselves locked out of their government devices a few hours later. Now they’re on leave. They’ll probably be fired. They dared to tell the truth. The judge praised them both at the sentencing hearing for doing “an excellent and commendable job” on the case and said it was some of “the best” work he’s seen with the “highest standards of professionalism.”

That’s the most vicious and damning thing a judge could possibly say to a Trump regime prosecutor. “Highest standards of professionalism?” Screw that. The only thing that matters to this crew is the highest standard of loyalty to the lowest standard of a human being. “Highest standards of professionalism?” How is THAT a compliment to the team that wants to water crops with ‘Brawndo?’ (You’ve got to watch ‘Idiocracy’ to understand…)

That original filing, the one that mentioned Donny’s J6 insurrection, was replaced with a shorter sentencing memo that did NOT mention Donny’s J6 insurrection. Nor did it reveal that it was Donny himself who had “doxxed” Obama, giving Taranto access to the Obama home. It still asked for 27 months, though.

So, here’s the weird part: The original filing seems to have… disappeared. The judge in the case, Judge Nichols, a Trump appointee, said it’s “not entirely clear, to me, how that first brief was sealed,” noting that he had not authorized it’s removal. The judge said he had read both prosecution briefs and if the DOJ wanted to keep the first one hidden they would need to file a motion to seal it or strike it. The DOJ, the judge said, is “going to have to justify that.”

So where did it go? It seems senior officials at the US Attorney’s office “persuaded” a court clerk to block online access to the filing. The original sentencing memo is now described in the court docket as “filed in error.” That’s some solid damage control. I mean, journalists have the filing, sure, but MAGA will never see it. They won’t accept anything not authorized by MAGA media and truth is definitely NOT authorized by MAGA media.

You know what? I’m not enjoying MAGAmerica…
