What the hell do you like about them? Is there a silver lining somewhere that I’m missing. Cause this looks like a total **** show to me! Granted, there are fewer illegals crossing our borders but there are much fewer tourists this year as well. Turns out that masked men abducting anyone foreign or not carrying proper and adequate documentation is a turnoff to some. As is denying due process and habeas corpus rights, before shuttling a person off to a maximum security prison bent on maximum pain and abuse.
The budget bill allocated $8 Billion to ICE with a goal of rounding up and deporting over ten million people. A budget bigger than the FBI an agency that is now also focused on immigration to the detriment of security concerns. Is it worth it to you, to pay more for your produce? Is it worth it to pay more for your motel stay? Is it worth it to you to lose your Social Security and Medicare because lots of temporary and itinerant workers pay in but leave before ever cashing out on it. The republicans are always looking for an excuse to privatize!!!
Did you see the news today regarding Lee Zeldin and the EPA. The largest deregulation of emission control in the history of the United States is being unveiled as another cornerstone of the Trump Agenda.
Repealing the finding “will be the largest deregulatory action in the history of America," EPA Administrator Lee Zeldinsaid Tuesday.
“There are people who, in the name of climate change, are willing to bankrupt the country," Zeldin said on the conservative “Ruthless” podcast. "They created this endangerment finding and then they are able to put all these regulations on vehicles, on airplanes, on stationary sources, to basically regulate out of existence, in many cases, a lot of segments of our economy. And it cost Americans a lot of money.”
Trump EPA moves to repeal landmark 'endangerment finding' that allows climate regulation
President Donald Trump’s administration has proposed revoking a scientific finding that's long been the central basis for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change
abcnews.go.com
Bill Nye was on CNN tonight saying that this administration is cherry picking their facts and refuting common knowledge about Climate Change going back to the 1980’s. He suggested that these policies as well as Trump’s disabling of Biden’s clean energy initiatives are informed by disinformation promulgated by the Fossil Fuel industry. He said that we are mortgaging our future and saying that much of the damage done in this administration will be irreversible. Then he talked to voters and the urgency to vote for sustainable and responsible environmental stewardship and not pie in the sky $ inducements, 99% of which are pure BS (my words not his).
Please share with us what Trump policies you’re supporting.

Regarding the first story from CBS News, a lot of really blatant inconsistencies apparently between the justice report and the facts. Just the mere fact that they waited five days to secure the DVR is astounding. The article mentions a cursor and menu onscreen and the missing minute and appearance of splicing pointing to obvious doctoring of the video recordings. William Barr was obviously running a lot of interference for Trump back then between undermining the affordable care act and declaring it unconstitutional; working with Giuliani on the Ukraine/Trump Scandal and of course this.Hmmm…

Oh yeah, sarcasm is really easy to detect on the Internet. Suuuuurrreee it is.

Well particularly when there’s zero context to draw from aside from the cited passage. One sentence responses are difficult in that regard. I’ve never been diagnosed or accused of being autistic but I do work primarily with that population.
And no I don’t regret posting my comments. I certainly considered the possibility that the comment was sarcasm- extremely popular literary device here I’ve noticed. I had just finished watching Bill Nye on CNN and wanted to vent. I had something extremely informative but not really Epstein related and needed an anchor.
Along those lines, shout out to JazzFanz for providing this outlet during this administration’s oppressive assault on free speech!

I’m glad her family is speaking out:

Has Donald’s DOJ interviewed the actual victims yet? Or have they remained focused on getting Maxwell to clear Trump so he can pardon her? Seems odd that the actual victims of this are being ignored by this administration and DOJ. It’s almost like they view Donald as the victim and they’re trying to protect him. Wonder why?
And weird how this keeps happening:

And they find satisfaction in life by doing all that? Riling people up is fun? Justifying the absurd makes you feel better about yourself? Is it entertaining? I guess it’s a sunk cost situation. Once you started defending the indefensible, like access Hollywood, ******** countries, Jan 6, etc then defending everything else just becomes much easier. Certainly much easier
Than admitting that you were wrong.

Let’s follow the money….and what did Trump know, and when did he know it….
Top Dem calls on Trump’s IRS to investigate Epstein bank records: ‘Follow the money’
Ron Wyden’s sprawling bank probe demands Trump administration investigate financial transactions surrounding Epstein’s trafficking case
www.independent.co.uk
The top Democrat on the Senate’s powerful finance committee has been investigating the financial network surrounding Jeffrey Epstein for three years.
Now he wants the IRS to find out what, exactly, the late sex offender was doing in exchange for $1.5 billion in wire transfers that passed through major financial institutions.
An investigation, from the office of Democratic Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon, uncovered more than 4,700 transactions dating to 2003, including payments to women from Russia and eastern European countries.
More than $158 million came from Wall Street financier Leon Black between 2012 and 2017 for Epstein’s alleged tax support, according to Wyden’s report, and ultimately helped Black avoid more than $1 billion liabilities.
“None of these tax transactions Epstein performed were audited,” Wyden told reporters at a briefing Thursday. “It could have blown the lid off Epstein’s cover of being a financial genius … It looks like none of that ever happened … A bunch of federal officials were sleepwalking through this.”…..
……..The Trump administration and Republican leadership on the Senate Finance Committee have stonewalled Wyden’s office, according to the senator, leaving the senator hamstrung by confidentiality laws surrounding transactions. The impasse is why the Oregon senator wants the Trump administration to make the reports available to Congress, which can then subpoena banks for more information, he said.
Wyden’s office also laid out steps for the Department of Justice to begin investigating “hundreds of millions of dollars in wire transfers” that passed through “several now-sanctioned Russian banks.”
“It appears that these wire transfers were correlated to the movement of women or girls around the world,” Wyden recently wrote to the Justice Department.
He also told the DOJ that it appears to have “ignored evidence” from the Treasury Department. Trump has said Attorney General Pam Bondi can decide what files connected to the Epstein case could be made public.
“This is not about politics. It is not about red and blue. It is about an evil individual who committed horrific crimes and victimized an enormous number of women and girls,” Wyden told reporters.
“At a time when so many Americans think that the political system is rigged, this is about whether there’s going to be accountability for the people who were involved and who enabled it, and the fact that so much money was being spent indicates that this was a global sex trafficking ring,” he added.

I agree, thank you to Jason and anyone else here at JFC who may have contributed to the decision. Free speech has never been more important. Our founding fathers would approve.
