Johnson Sends House Home Ahead of Epstein Files Deadline

Who's there to receive the files if the House is not in session? Could this be Johnson's way of giving DOJ more time to redact? Or, is this his petty way of giving the finger to the people that signed the discharge petition?

That is the source of all these problems.

Exactly!!! Biden's appointment of Garland was a major mistake! You want a seasoned prosecutor at the head of the DOJ. My pick was Preet Bharara. But, that is all water under the bridge for the next democratic president to consider.

Yet under Biden and I would argue the Democrat platform, this wasn't the approach, as its racist.

What's racist about rooting out and prosecuting fraud?

the DNC will never play the conservative play and go for middle of the road voters by picking candidates that best match the district and state they're running in, they'll push for ever "first [insert string of ever more myopic minorities]" candidates all the way.

IMHO that's not what's wrong with democrats. The problem with democrats is that they run to the left in primaries and then tack back to the middle for the general. IOW They take advantage of their primary/base voters. These primary/base voters get PO'd and I believe accounts for poor poll numbers for democrats. This tacking back to the middle helps explain why democrats can't seem to get much done once they get into power.

Say what you will about Trump, but he will run as fast and as far as he can until someone/something forces him stop. I'd like to see the next democratic president do the same with issues that are important to base democrats. How about starting off with statehood for DC, PR and the VI?

DOE Will Co-Locate AI Data Centers at US Nuclear Sites

At least they're not locating them next to population centers! I remember seeing something that said with the proper nourishment and programming, humans make good batteries.

White House Sued by Historic Preservation Group

Let's see if this group can use the legal system in the same way that Trump uses it i.e. slow down the process. Maybe they can slow it down enough that it won't get finished and a new (democratic?) president can tear the incomplete structure down and start over and build something more in character with the West Wing.

USN Admiral Bradley testified to Congress behind closed doors the eleven victims were on an internal list of narco-terrorists who US intelligence and military officials determined could be lethally targeted.

Without any living survivors, there is no way of telling who the victims actually were. This makes it possible for the lying Trump admin to make up a bunch of names and then claim that that those people were on the boat. This may have been the rational for the "kill everybody" order!

US Threatens New ICC Sanctions Unless Court Pledges Not to Prosecute Trump

Somebody's really worried. MAGA just doesn't get it. Whatever sanctions the Trump admin can impose can be reversed by the next president. And if the next president is a democrat, any sanctions will be reversed. The whole world knows this so Trump's threats are empty.

"Don't do the crime if you can't do the time".

If the SCOTUS allows this, every incoming president of a different party will swap out entire agencies. Everybody will get whiplash! Businesses, especially, should be against this because they won't be able to adequately plan for the future. And, one of the first acts of a future incoming democratic administration would be to use its anti Trust powers to break up all of these companies that "kissed the ring" to get their mergers through.

Trump Wants Japanese Kei Cars Sold in U.S.

That's an "America First" move if there ever was one.

#25

The only thing they got going for them is that REPUBLICANS ARE MUCH WORSE.

As a party, democrats suck. They only thing they got going for them is that republicans are much worst.

New Senate Bill to Outlaw Dual Citizenship

I am not certain about all citizens but certainly those in elective office at the muni, state and federal levels.

Outgoing Mayor Eric Adams is weighing new appointments to the Rent Guidelines Board in an effort to block Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani's pledged rent freeze.

Is Eric Adams a landlord with apartments subject to rent guidelines? Why is he doing this on his way out the door? Is somebody paying him? Is he trying to ingratiate himself to landlords?

trying a criminal case against Trump would not be feasible

So justice in Georgia is NOT blind!!!

This perspective highlights how factors like race, wealth, and power can influence judicial decisions, contrasting with the traditional image of a blindfolded Lady Justice, which symbolizes unbiased and objective justice.

Trump's hidden agenda is to rebuild the White House; he just can't tell anyone his real plans so he starts with knocking down the East Wing. Now he's arguing with the architect about plans for what is to be rebuilt there. He probably wants to include more office space, conference rooms, etc. Then, once that's done, he will announce that he's moving West Wing operations to the new addition and tearing down the West Wing.

He doesn't plan on leaving the presidency.

Until we can do something about provider charges, medical debt will increase. But, the government or an insurance company can't tell a provider what to charge, just what they are willing to pay. As a result, those people that don't have insurance or are covered by some government program face ENORMOUS medical bills.

The Jews and Muslims with a lot of money will still support the GOP. Money trumps everything.

I am sure Epstein didn't have his guests preparing their meals, doing household chores, yard work, etc. It's hard to imagine that the maintenance workers didn't know what was going on. Some enterprising reporters need to visit the place and talk to the workers. There's an interesting story to be told from their perspective ala Downton Abby?

Trump's just doing what a lot of politicians do: find a parade and get out in front of it!

He's lying, hiding something or just plain stupid. Either of them works.

It's a good thing for democratic candidates that republicans are as bad as they are. Otherwise, democrats wouldn't get half the votes that they get!

At Trump's Urging, DOJ Seeks Probe of Epstein Ties with Democrats

I don't think democrats care one way or another about other democrats being implicated. The only reason I think dems would be concerned is if it diverted sparse DOJ resources from investigating the EXISTING junta members and their influential friends.

It's a stupid idea that simply encourages people to buy more than they can afford

Just what you would expect from a member of a family of home builders!
