Treasonous Conspiracy
Plus: Columbia settles, State Department releases murderer, and more...

Department of Justice investigation begins: Yesterday, the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced that it would be forming a task force to determine whether former President Barack Obama and senior officials instigated an investigation into President Donald Trump's connections to Russia back in 2016, when he was first running for president.
This announcement follows Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard's public accusations that there is "irrefutable evidence" that Obama manufactured a "false" intelligence analysis claiming that Russia helped Trump win in 2016. She characterized Obama administration officials as orchestrating a "yearslong coup and treasonous conspiracy," and is declassifying an old House Intelligence Committee report about the election that conflicts with a Senate report from around the same time that endorsed the intelligence community's belief that Russian actors undermined Hillary Clinton's candidacy. It's unclear how much the House report changes—or whether this will all be a suitable distraction from the Jeffrey Epstein news that keeps pouring out, pointing to closer ties between Trump and the pervert financier.
The Reason Roundup Newsletter by Liz Wolfe Liz and Reason help you make sense of the day's news every morning.
Politics of vengeance: The White House press secretary confirmed this week that Trump doesn't want Elon Musk's company, xAI, to receive any government contracts, per Axios. (Musk's SpaceX contracts with the government have not yet been canceled.)
This comes on the heels of the Pentagon's announcement that it has secured contracts with four artificial intelligence companies—the aforementioned xAI, as well as Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI—to "address critical national security challenges" (whatever that means). Musk's company, xAI, was reportedly a late-in-the-game addition, but now Trump has reversed course and apparently denies that xAI should receive a federal contract.
"Days before the announcement, Grok, xAI's chatbot, had gone on an antisemitic tirade that the company struggled to control," reports NBC News. "In short, xAI didn't have the kind of reputation or track record that typically leads to lucrative government contracts, even as Musk had a long history of working with the government." (Of course, back in early 2024, Google's Gemini had accuracy and reliability issues too, notably and hilariously portraying the Founding Fathers as black.)
Scenes from New York: "Columbia University will pay a $200 million fine to settle allegations from the Trump administration that it failed to do enough to stop the harassment of Jewish students, part of a sweeping deal reached on Wednesday to restore the university's federal research funding, according to a statement from the university," reports The New York Times. It has also, notably, agreed to actually follow the law regarding race-blind admissions and hiring, which is huge for people who care about merit-based advancement and nondiscrimination.
QUICK HITS
- "One of the Trump administration's highest-profile deportation targets, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, must be released from criminal custody in Tennessee and returned to Maryland and cannot be immediately redetained by immigration authorities, a pair of federal judges ruled Wednesday," reports Politico. "Earlier this year, Abrego was illegally deported to his home country despite an immigration court order barring him from being sent there. Then, after months of resisting court orders to return Abrego to the U.S., the administration brought him back to face newly unveiled charges of immigrant smuggling in Tennessee." ("The fact this unhinged judge is trying to tell [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] they can't arrest someone who is subject to immigration arrest under federal law is insane," said the Department of Homeland Security's spokeswoman, Tricia McLaughlin.)
- "When the State Department secured the release of 10 Americans and permanent legal residents from a Venezuela prison last week, Secretary of State Marco Rubio hailed the action as part of an effort to safeguard the well-being of Americans unjustly held abroad," reports The New York Times. "But one of the men released from the prison, an American-Venezuelan dual national named Dahud Hanid Ortiz, had been convicted in Venezuela for the murder of three people in Spain in 2016, according to an official at the prosecutor's office in Madrid and Venezuelan court records reviewed by The New York Times."
- Federal prosecutors say they're going to criminally charge any tariff evaders. Customs officials have, in the past, faced civil settlements and fines for common lawbreaking like changing countries of origin and mischaracterizing goods on import forms. This is a huge change in policy. More from Bloomberg.
- Tans are BACK, baby. Will the Trump administration at some point repeal the excise tax on tanning beds? Or must people do it the good old-fashioned way and simply flock to the beach to save a buck?
- Can't we just return?
This is wild. My parents were pretty involved parents. They took me to Wal-Mart, got a bunch of stuff for my dorm room, hugged me, and left. There were just so many fewer ways to hover without the Internet. I had to figure most things out after they left. That was the norm. https://t.co/1AwCFnLCaU

- How cheaply can high-speed rail actually be built?
About 1/5 of Americans live on the Northeast Corridor, from DC to Boston.
It's an ideal stretch for high-speed rail, but could we build it? Amtrak says it'd cost more than $100 billion.
What if Amtrak is wrong? https://t.co/mJMenjDUzo

Department of Justice investigation begins...
Impeach Obama in effigy!
Hell with that, impeach him on Capitol Hill!
Hellfire that, impeach him by drone strike.
Can he be judged first? By an akita?
Anwar al-Awlaki says no trial.
Not sure about the akita meme going around, getting old I guess.
Oh, it's a good one. Those dogs can be apparently quite judgmental against gay dudes who are bottoms.
Thanks, remember seeing that now.
Mother nature's greedy when you're long in the tooth.
Military tribunal at Guantanamo Bay.
Yes.
Good thing he closed it... Oh.
Russian actors undermined Hillary Clinton's candidacy.
It was her turn!
I thought Baryshnikov only got into acting after he defected.
It turns out that Hillary was the main Russian actor in that effort.
You think she putin a good enough performance or are we russian to conclusions?
Puns are worse than election denialism.
People that eschew puns are why we can’t have nice things.
Does a harpy pants-suit President count as a nice thing?
No grasshopper, it does not.
Enough about Jill Biden.
Fist hates competition. Free market puns are libertarian.
Fist just wants his hand on everything.
And here I thought that was just Shrike.
Yet it is slipping through his fingers. Not sure he can grasp that.
The more you tighten your grip, Fist, the more puns will slip through your fingers.
In the same snese Iraqi insurgents undermined John McCain's candidacy.
"Russian actors undermined Hillary Clinton's candidacy."
She didn't need any help; she was quite competent to 'undermine' her candidacy on her own.
What a dislikable pile of shit that woman is!
Hillary has no redeeming qualities at all.
...there is "irrefutable evidence" that Obama manufactured a "false" intelligence analysis claiming that Russia helped Trump win in 2016.
To be honest, Matt Taibbi has a pretty convincing Twitter thread.
Posted the article last night in the Virginia article:
https://www.racket.news/p/in-brutal-document-release-the-russia?r=5mz1
Thanks. Been looking for a quick trustworthy analysis of the email dump. Started reading Gabbards release but trying to read that on my cell the other day was breaking my eyes, plan to look at this weekend. The admin kinda of blew the release of that.
Speaking of which…
https://x.com/mtaibbi/status/1948141961413869862?s=46&t=qeA47-JjK6vq0pfnxg60dA
So basically what Liz said.
Brennan point blank testified in front of Congress that the Steele report was not used in the ICA's analysis in which it turns out it was the primary focus.
Yes take his house for lying under oath and fine him every penny he has for costing the American people and the world for that matter the millions for his deceit.
When @JohnBrennan was confronted with the Steele Dossier's flaws, he replied:
"Yes, but doesn't it ring true?"
This is the most damning for Brennan personally. Admitting he wanted something he knew to be false inserted into the report because it would be believable.
The Steele Dossier was quite the reveal. Anyone who read it and didn't immediately scoff is so utterly incapable of recognizing reality it should be disqualifying to work as a Walmart greeter, yet high level politicians and activists claimed to believe it. The fact that there are no repercussions for this shows everyone knew it was a lie at the time and agreed to push it anyway. This is what activism is.
It reminds me of the UVA rape case. A bunch of rich kids pre-plan a gang rape which they expect to get away with by claiming she consented. Naturally they begin this gang rape by punching her in the face. After all police would never consider that evidence she was attacked.
These people are complete and utter fools.
And then we got................
BIDEN!
This is exactly what Obama taught to all who would follow him. A bit of Bill Ayers with a dash of Alinsky and voila, American activism and political sabotage all in one.
When you describe it like that, the UVA rape case does sound plausible. There's nothing unusual about rich college kids thinking they're royalty.
Reminder. Reason wanted Trump impeached for firing comey and raged when Trump pulled Brennans clearances.
What was that first impeachment about, again?
Trump’s crazy conspiracy theory that the Biden’s were doing shady shit in Ukraine.
Also supported by Reason.
"Yes, but doesn't it ring true?"
Ah, the classic "Fake but true!"
And why the Democrats and Democrat trolls here will continue to support it.
https://x.com/cynicalpublius/status/1948097585941447128?s=46&t=qeA47-JjK6vq0pfnxg60dA
Yup, burn them all for their witch hunt
Keep in mind that the cuckservative right uncritically swallowed every bit of bullshit the administration was putting out on this, too.
Those involved in this should pay dearly.
"Yes, but doesn't it ring true?"
LOL, holy fuck. I bet Dan Rather said the same thing 20-plus years ago.
At what frequency does the truth ring?
...this will all be a suitable distraction from the Jeffrey Epstein news that keeps pouring out, pointing to closer ties between Trump and the pervert financier.
Can't we all just accept that we're ruled by ped0s and move on.
this will all be a suitable distraction from the Jeffrey Epstein news
It’s also possible for two things to be happening at the same time.
Distraction? This is possibly treason.
I can't wait for the DNC deniers to tell us how Tulsi is wrong, and this is impossible, same as the 2020 81M votes.
I’m sure Shrike will be along to call Gabbard a “Bushpig” even though the same assholes behind the WMDs are also behind Russiagate.
Jeffy and Sarc will probably try to claim “boaf sidez” and “Democrats did it first” or some such bullshit.
White Mike might play that game as well.
Molly (Tony?) Will just be her usual retarded self trying to claim the Steele Dossier is real.
Sullum will come up with some Orange Man Bad bluster that tries to claim Trump and Gabbard are evil for pursuing it.
Boehm will reluctantly and strategically go the Dan Rather route of “fake, but accurate”.
Autumn Billings will continue to whine about how mean Trump is towards illegal aliens by not letting them stay here as the new slaves. Fiona will follow suit.
CJ and Touch and feel will just be retarded over it.
ENB will post an article about the sex lives of illegal aliens and why you should fuck one too.
The Average Dude will show why he’s not smarter than any of us here.
#Facts.
Were you accidentally invited to their Signals group and read today’s agenda?
That was epic.
I appreciate you saving the entire day.
Excellent
Apparently we all have short memories, but back then everyone agreed that MAGA was literally Hitler, worthy of legal face-punchings. Are you seriously going to fault those with the power to nip fascism in the bud going the extra mile?
Crazy talk. This is just a distraction.
Except there's no "Jeffrey Epstein news"
There's no "there" there, maybe.
Trump's former criminal lawyer and Deputy AG is meeting with her right now in Florida. Why would the DOJ send the deputy AG to meet with her? Seems a bit odd to me.
The House subpoenaed her for a deposition on Aug 11th but DOJ is there today. Why undercut the House committee?
It looks fishy as fuck. If Maxwell comes into the house and testifies that Trump is an angel and only had professional business relationships with Epstien or some made up crap and she ends up with a commuted sentence, guess we will know why Todd Blanche is there today. Again, this whole thing is suspicious. She has been in custody for years and nobody thought she might have information on Epstein's friggin associates after spending literal decades as Epstein's sidekick/girlfriend/accomplice????
Nobody believes you’re an attorney.
The first 5 letters are the only part of his handle that anyone believes.
Shitty faux-attorney is already revving up the conspiracy machine.
NOBODY'S EVER QUESTIONED MAXWELL BEFORE!?!
Good job, shittycity not-a-lawyer.
If there was any "there" there then you and the totality of the DNC and extreme leftists around the world would have already lynched Trump.
The Epstein cries are the attempt to distract from the findings of the corruption and deceit of the democrats by the GOP and Trump admin.
You can admit that you followed the lies and fake news that fueled your hate and pushed you into TDS.
Perhaps half the country can come up with class action lawsuits against the democrats, Obama, Brennan, Clapper, Clinton, Schiff and the others responsible and the complicit media for perpetrating the greatest hoax in history.
Then all the gullible and naive people who became gaslit can save face while admitting they were fooled.
To anyone who hasn’t listened to Tucker’s interview with Daryl Cooper, I highly recommend it. There’s so much more to this than I realized. It made me sick to my stomach at times.
Scenes from New York
Video shows the alleged shooter of the off-duty agent being dumped outside a hospital by one of his accomplices. The off duty agent managed to bust a few caps in the illegal alien piece of shit.
https://www.foxnews.com/video/6375934520112
Would be too bad if the illegal alien piece of shit needs an MRI and forgets to take off his 20-pound chain necklace.
Svetlana, the caviar is cold in Siberia.
I'm sure Mamdani will issue a city apology and award a double-plus-good housing unit to the oppressed immigrant hero.
It is almost like those who simp for illegals believe they are some sort of oppressed class.
Days before the announcement, Grok, xAI's chatbot, had gone on an antisemitic tirade that the company struggled to control...
Trump doesn't want Skynet to order the Pentagon to march on Poland.
He needs the AI called Bully, to plan the Panama invasion.
And Grenada?
Different AI tool needed; the Gipper.
Mediocre Liz
Has fallen from high regard
Reason killed our dream
It's too early for haikus.
Silent eyes glimmer,
Shame drapes over gentle paws—
Beneath the moon's glow.
Once proud and steadfast,
Now a shadow of regret,
Owner's love misplaced.
Autumn leaves whisper,
Akita’s spirit wanders,
He longs for respect.
There was a moon glowing alright and that did not sit well with the akita.
Just rolled out of bed
Not even had coffee brewed yet
Early for haiku

OY Vey!!
"But one of the men released from the prison, an American-Venezuelan dual national named Dahud Hanid Ortiz, had been convicted in Venezuela for the murder of three people in Spain in 2016, according to an official at the prosecutor's office in Madrid and Venezuelan court records reviewed by The New York Times."
Mardid Father
Also, why does a Venezuelan court have jurisdicition over crimes committed in Spain?
Stop asking questions. That’s only for Liz to do on her podcast, not when she’s regurgitating leftist narratives in the roundup.
He was tried and sentenced in Venezuela rather than in Spain for the crimes committed in Madrid because the Venezuelan Constitution prohibits the extradition of Venezuelan-born citizens, but the country’s laws allows Venezuelan citizens to be prosecuted for crimes committed abroad.
https://www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-world/world/americas/venezuela/article311262585.html
So El Salvadoran or Venezuelan murderers are to be protected and freed at all costs but Venezuelan-American murderers are to rot in foreign prisons? If it's a good conviction in Spain then drop him in a US prison for his term but the Democrat position makes no sense, even as a gotcha.

Big Akita plans to boycott Reason

Pull tax dollars and let their admissions bring themselves to ruin as they see fit.
Sometimes I wonder why advocates of racial preferences dont simply call for the repeal of these antidiscrimination laws so they can practice all the racial preferences they want.
Because skin color is everything.
Yes.
They only support racial preferences when done for non-Whites.
They oppose racial preferences for Whites.
They want the former legal, but the latter illegal.
People who oppose racial preferences under any and all circumstances at least have a race-neutral principle applying universally.
People who oppose racial preferences under any and all circumstances at least have a race-neutral principle applying universally.
What do you think this is, the 1990’s?
Yes
Because only certain races should be allowed to show racial preferences.
So said the supporters of Jim Crow laws.
You mean democrats.
"distraction from the Jeffrey Epstein news that keeps pouring out"
The news keeps pouring out? I must have missed it because the only news I hear is that we are being stonewalled.
How stupid do you have to be to believe that the verifiable Obama frame of Trump is the distraction from Epstein, and not the other way around?
Democrat stupid?
Blue state stupid?
"How stupid do you have to be to believe that the verifiable Obama frame of Trump is the distraction from Epstein, and not the other way around?"
This is worth repeating...

Because it wasn't. It was the only thing they had to punch back at Trump on that had any traction at all, albeit not much. And was entirely an own goal of Trump's own making given he allowed Bondi's public announcements and that retarded binder stunt to go forward. But this, this is a brand new kettle of fish that the Dems have exactly zero ways to pushback against except to continue to wave the Epstein flag even faster in the hopes that this will be ignored. The problem with such a strategy is that this information is the thing that actually will get normies engaged in politics, which they largely aren't on the Epstein thing. Expect the vast majority of republican midterm campaigns to bring this issue into focus in their ad spend, starting with pushing for Brennan to be charged with perjury for lying to Congress and pointing out the democrats don't want it.
Thinking Tide Pods are edible stupid?
No no, new news keeps pouring out, like Trump knew Epstein in the 90’s.
And the BOTH LIVED IN THE EASTERN TIME ZONE!!!!!!!!!!
Do I have to do all the thinking around here?!?!?!
It's a very large Venn diagram of correlating propensities.

One of the Trump administration's highest-profile deportation targets, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, must be released from criminal custody in Tennessee and returned to Maryland and cannot be immediately redetained by immigration authorities...
Only in America could this douche be as untouchable as a president, past or present.
For an illegal immigrantrefugeeasylum seeker, nobody seems worried about putting more spotlights on him or keeping his whereabouts, past, present, or future, a secret from people like Luigi Mangione.
Just paint a target on him, see how he does.
I am impressed that judges now think they have pardon power.
Garcia is not untouchable. A decent rifle with a good scope could reach out and touch him at any time.
Federal prosecutors say they're going to criminally charge any tariff evaders.
Next up, mandatory strip searches anywhere within the 50 mile border zone for tarrif enforcement.
It’s tariff tyranny!
Yup, I suggest the book Contraband. The custom houses of the late 1800s would strip search Americans to find custom violations.
It has also, notably, agreed to actually follow the law regarding race-blind admissions and hiring, which is huge for people who care about merit-based advancement and nondiscrimination.
Sure, it's totally believable that people who believe even the concept of merit is white supremacy are going to stop discriminating rather than hide their efforts more carefully.
We need to prosecute the schools, administrators, and faculty involved for violating their students' civil rights. Then as part of the settlement stipulate no school employing or contracting with someone so convicted is eligible to receive federal funds. We have to get these people out of our institutions and prevent them from corrupting our institutions into funding their activism.
Yeah, there’s already been several organizations getting caught simply renaming DEI after agreeing to get rid of it.
Were not Jim Crow laws a system of racial preferences?
DEI are the real Jim Crow 2.0 rules.
Makes Jim Crow look like Jim Albatross.
Jim Crow was inferior because it didn't require a million highly paid make-work jobs to manage it.
The fact this unhinged judge is trying to tell [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] they can't arrest someone who is subject to immigration arrest under federal law is insane...
One branch calling the other unhinged and insane is the kind of constitutional crisis shenanigans the Founding Fathers never would have engaged in.
Bring back dueling!
Always been my preference.
Think of all the unemployed lawyers!
Meanwhile, in Colorado:
Headline: Jared Polis vows to chain himself to plaza to stop $28M bridge he proposed
An unscientific poll commissioned by Gov. Jared Polis on his proposal to build a pedestrian walkway across Lincoln Street in front of the Colorado Capitol revealed that 94% of participants opposed the idea. Just 4% said they supported it and 2% said they were a “maybe” on the plan, which was estimated to cost nearly $30 million.
The bridge was the governor’s idea to celebrate the state’s 150th anniversary. But it was panned by lawmakers, historic preservationists and, apparently, the public.
The bridge would have been paid for by private donations, though the state shelled out $1.5 million in planning costs.
Still dreamy?
At first I was like "why are so many people opposed to some bridge?" and then I looked up what it looked like. They probably could save at least 15 million by just making it straight.
You can’t make a bridge straight when it wasn’t born that way!
That bridge in Baltimore collapsed after being rammed by seamen.
They erected the bridge in a substandard way. It should have been stiffer.
The incident got a rise out of many.
Akitas were not amused.
But nobody's going to win an award for designing a straight bridge.
There’s enough Reasonistas who would think that’s still very Governor McDreamy.
But one of the men released from the prison, an American-Venezuelan dual national named Dahud Hanid Ortiz, had been convicted in Venezuela for the murder of three people in Spain in 2016...
Why would the Spaniards offload that prosecution to other commies?
And only foreign dirtbags are championed for return to the United States by the pajama class.
To manage expectations?
...Secretary of State Marco Rubio hailed the action as part of an effort to safeguard the well-being of Americans unjustly held abroad," reports The New York Times. "But one of the men released from the prison, an American-Venezuelan dual national named Dahud Hanid Ortiz, had been convicted in Venezuela for the murder of three people...
At least journalists are now interested in the criminal backgrounds of people being brought to the U.S.
I’m sure this will be consistently applied.
Right Liz?
Yeah. Because Venezuela is known to have a fair and impartial judicial system.
'It has also, notably, agreed to actually follow the law regarding race-blind admissions and hiring, which is huge for people who care about merit-based advancement and nondiscrimination.'
You mean fascists and colonizing white supremacists, right?

Leave the fucking UN.
Agreed. Well past time to leave the fucking UN.
This has always been the goal. Read the IPCC reports...
Chapter 5: Sustainable Development, Poverty Eradication and Reducing Inequalities — IPCC
This chapter takes sustainable development as the starting point and focus for analysis. It considers the broad and multifaceted bi-directional interplay between sustainable development, including its focus on eradicating poverty and reducing inequality in their multidimensional aspects, and climate actions in a 1.5°C warmer world.
Why is this even a topic for the IPCC? And it's not limited to one chapter in the report, either...
To reduce inequality and alleviate poverty, such transformations would require more planning and stronger institutions (including inclusive markets) than observed in the past, as well as stronger coordination and disruptive innovation across actors and scales of governance.
I'd forgotten how much reading that chapter made me want to puke...
"Emerging literature on justice-centred pathways to 1.5°C points toward ambitious emission reductions domestically and committed cooperation internationally whereby wealthier countries support poorer ones, technologically, financially, and otherwise to enhance capacities
"At the level of groups and individuals, equity in pursuing climate resilience for a 1.5°C warmer world means addressing disadvantage, inequities, and empowerment that shape transformative processes and pathways
"The fundamental societal and systemic changes to achieve sustainable development, eradicate poverty and reduce inequalities while limiting warming to 1.5°C would require a set of institutional, social, cultural, economic and technological conditions to be met
Chapter 5 always disagrees with the prior scientific chapters. Well at least until the last version. But chapter 5 is the political chapter.

Israel needs to distribute that picture in Gaza.
Gazan citizens already know. Just corporate media ignores it.
Yesterday I saw drone footage of almost a thousand trucks of aid sitting in a depot. Hamas and international groups refuse to let it be distributed because they feel their media campaign against Israel is working and are withholding the aid in support. Bear that in mind as Hamas supporters are crying about the "famine" in Gaza.

Top UN court says countries can sue each other over climate change
A landmark decision by a top UN court has cleared the way for countries to sue each other over climate change, including over historic emissions of planet-warming gases.
"historic emissions of planet-warming gases."

Another judge in Tennessee ruled that he will remain in jail if ICE is barred from re-arresting him:

We only report on initial decisions that go against Trump around here, not all the ones that overturn them.
Judge fight!
Actually stranger than that. Garcia's attorneys want to delay his release for 30 days so ICE can't get their hands on him. Comedy gold.
It's an ideal stretch for high-speed rail, but could we build it? Amtrak says it'd cost more than $100 billion.
What if Amtrak is wrong?
They are wrong. $200 million, easy, when it's all done.
Try as it might, the Northeast Corridor isn't Europe. Get your head out of your ass.
Phbbbbt! $200M? For that kind of money you could blot out The Sun almost 5X!
Mr. Burns and Monorails.
Relax, all right? My old man is a television repairman, he's got this ultimate set of tools. I can fix it.
California has already spent $150 billion on their high speed rail and it's been a success! All those involved became billionaires.!!
I hear Paul Pelosi did quite well.
Odd, not much of any rail has been laid down though.
And now it will be an AMTRAK system.
Now I see why greasy Gavin Newscum wants to sue for another $4 billion. He needs it for his presidential aspirations.
I hear Paul Pelosi did quite well.
I've never heard anything about Paul Pelosi, but after bids for the first phase of the earthwork came in they went ahead and changed the rules to award to a company owned by Diane Feinstein's husband instead of to the low bidder, a Spanish company that specialized in preparatory earthwork for high speed rails. Tutor Perini, Feinstein's husband's company, had no prior experience, but was deemed more qualified.
IIRC, there was a rebuke from a federal judge, but nothing else happened.
California:
Once I built a railroad made it run
Made it run against time
Brother can you spare a dime?
'How cheaply can high-speed rail actually be built?'
In a sorta free country, or in a place like China? (Which to some people makes their system demonstrably superior.)
Would derailments matter?

Well it's pouring out, an avalanche. First 40 years ago at Trump's wedding. Then they had lunch together 35 years ago. Or maybe dinner. Proof positive. Trump is a pedophile!

So if Pam Bondi specifically told Rump he was in the Epstein files, does this mean he blatantly lied when he said he wasn't aware ?
Why should anyone give two shits about it when we have a former President involved in sedition to do a coup on a sitting President?
8 years ago, Rump trotted out that dog & pony show. 8 years with him being in office for 4 of them and only now ... NOW ... are they rehashing this red herring ? Now that they need a distraction from the fact that Rump lied about the Epstein files.
If they actually have evidence , why aren't they in court instead of pleading to the court of public opinion ? Didn't his SCOTUS cronies grant immunity to presidential criminals ? So isn't this whole WWF style storyline ultimately moot ?
Anyway, don't forget that Rump lied about the Epstein files and is preventing the release of files with every fiber of his being and some outside help from his republican cronies.
Cite, Liberty_Bibberty?
Awww, aren't you special? Bless your heart.
Don't forget this steaming pile of TDS-addled lying shit is lying about Trump and the Epstein files.
Fuck off and die, asswipe.
Didn't his SCOTUS cronies grant immunity to presidential criminals ?
Yes, by my reading, Obama would have immunity based on TRUMP v. UNITED STATES, but some others wouldn't and there's value in uncovering what happened. If embarrassment and a damaged legacy is the only punishment available to Obama, let's get that at least.
Nope. Obama continued to participate in the conspiracy after he left office, which in no way could be construed as an “official act” of the president.
If that's correct, I agree, but what are you referring to? He was essentially powerless after leaving office.
Seriously?
Yes. Please stifle your feigned self-righteous stupefaction and clarify one of your claims for once.
SCOTUS didn't give Presidents carte blanche to commit crimes. SCOTUS, correctly, said that in carrying out the Constitutionally defined duties of the office of President, that there must be some deference and limited immunity for those official acts which might otherwise be criminal for other people. Kinda comes with the territory of being the elected leader of an entire country.
Immunity for actively engaging in treason against an incoming President? You're retarded if you think that.
8 years ago, Rump trotted out that dog & pony show. 8 years with him being in office for 4 of them and only now ... NOW ... are they rehashing this red herring ?
So . . . you're mad that they're not focusing on the other 8-year-old story that the Democrat media is suddenly obsessed with in the wake of the new revelations about Obama's direct involvement in lying about Russian interference in 2016?
Wrong. Trump decided to not look back and go after Killary. That was a mistake because the next 8 years of assault on Trump ensued. The demoncrats thought they got away with it and they still had the swamp players in place.
Had they not created all the fake lawfare and continual fake news attacks on Trump Obama would not be in this Scooby Doo moment of the mask being removed.
The demoncrats are trying to use the Epstein BS to distract from their evils. No different than the last 8 years where they create distractions attacking Trump to hide their crimes.
Liberty, did you forget the democrats had all the power they needed and if Trump was guilty of farting in the wrong room they would have lynched him on the spot?
I really try to give people the benefit of the doubt that they are not that stupid, but like you have done, people, mainly democrats, keep proving me the fool for having faith in them.
Sorry for your loss. You can admit you were wrong and move any time and be better off for it.
“I really try to give people the benefit of the doubt that they are not that stupid, but like you have done, people, mainly democrats, keep proving me the fool for having faith in them.”
Leftists always lie. They should never be given the benefit of the doubt.
"Rump"
Always a tell of a TDS-addled slimy pile of lying shit. Fuck off and die, asswipe.
It’s very clever.
You're right; it's also a tell of a very low-watt bulb.
Hey at your suggestion I watched the Carlson/ Cooper interview. Highly recommended to anyone who thinks they know the Epstein story. One point, Bondi is probably being honest when she says there is no client list. Because the DOJ going back to 2007 at least, never investigated him beyond giving him a free pass after he molested 40 minors in Florida. And contrary to popular belief the 2019 trial was not about clients and blackmail, it was limited to procurement of minor girls for Epstein's personal amusement. Not to say that the rich and powerful were not involved, only that there is no prosecutable evidence in DOJ files all of these years later. Also a plausible explanation of where the money came from, something nobody seems to care about.
A lot of them are afraid to say his actual name in fear that it will give him more power. He already took down all those witches during the election.
"The fact this unhinged judge is trying to tell [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] they can't arrest someone who is subject to immigration arrest under federal law is insane,",
I wont say we're in a constitutional crisis yet but all these nonsense rulings from these Party-first judges have done a lot to undermine the credibility - and thus the power - of the judiciary.
Courts will regret shitting away their credibility. And Roberts has, as expected, been not up to the task of protecting credibility.

Tulsi Gabbard actions are predictable and consistent with the Trump play book of trying case in public rather than in courts. Make accusation in public because there are are no rules for evidence and no cross examination of the accuser. The public knows the facts that Russians did try to influence the 2016 election in favor of Trump and that members of the Trump campaign did coordinate with Russian agents. Gabbard's accusations also seem to be having little effect on the publics focus on the Trump-Epstein relationship.
Parody.
Parody; has Poe's horizon once again eluded me? While I mute the usual trolls, I've been calling this guy a gas lighting shill for some time now, as his sniveling and mendacious comments elicit a special degree of contempt from me.

And here we go with the Democrats Umbrella of Making Bullshit Asinine Shitty Subterfuge crowd trying to make excuses for Obama’s actions.
Go ahead and try to take this to court. Also remember that all the people that refused to testify to the Mueller investigation will not be able to refuse a defense subpoena. Should make for some interesting TV.
You think the fake Mueller investigation is going to derail the investigation into Obama and Killary's conspiracy to stop the Presidential peaceful transfer of power?

Best pulitzer money could buy!
Make accusation in public because there are are no rules for evidence and no cross examination of the accuser.
Notice this exactly describes the Russian Collusion Hoax itself which certain left wingers are still pretending is true. But while we're supposed to accept this as disqualifying and evidence of duplicity by Trump in the case of the Russian Collusion Hoax we're supposed to ignore it.
I'm starting to think that sometimes left wingers apply standards only when it supports conclusions which help their team.
"Make accusation in public because there are are no rules for evidence and no cross examination of the accuser...Notice this exactly describes the Russian Collusion Hoax itself which certain left wingers are still pretending is true."
Precisely. The entire Muller report / Russia hoax was manufactured completely out of whole cloth and pushed using this exact tactic. Very similar stuff during COVID and the J6 show trials. M4e going with the ol confession via projection trick
Remember Adam Schiff multiple times claiming to have unimpeachable evidence only to later be proven a liar? Rachel Maddow, same thing. M4E is the same type of hyper-partisan propagandist as they are: completely uninterested in the truth and only pushing the story because their voters are idiots who believe anything attacking the people they hate.
That's odd. The Russian collusion hoax was also tried in the public domain with the prosecutors being the MSM whores.
No, Russian interference in the 2016 was investigated by a special prosecutor and a Senate committee lead by Republicans. The Mueller investigation also resulted in a number of indictments.
See
https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/breakdown-indictments-cases-muellers-probe/story?id=61219489
No, Russian interference in the 2016 was investigated by a special prosecutor and a Senate committee lead by Republicans.
This happened long after the charges of Russian Collusion were made, so at the point it mattered the accusations were solely public with zero verification. Moreover this investigation was initiated by the corrupt Steele Dossier and also identified no evidence of Russian Collusion.
The Mueller investigation also resulted in a number of indictments.
None of which relate to Russian Collusion. So when people continue to assert there was Russian Collusion they are basing it on the Steele Dossier and specifically rejecting the Mueller investigation which found no evidence of Russian Collusion.
Some people just can't let go of the hoax.
The Mueller investigation also resulted in a number of indictments.
Like Paul Manafort. Who was indicted for crimes he committed while working for the Podesta group under contract to the Obama Administration.
TTRRRUUUMMMPPPPP!!!!!1!!!!
Great point!
Tulsi Gabbard actions are predictable and consistent with the Trump play book of trying case in public rather than in courts
Which is why she's making criminal referrals. Because she wants to avoid the court system.
The public knows the facts that Russians did try to influence the 2016 election in favor of Trump and that members of the Trump campaign did coordinate with Russian agents.
Except this is exactly what we now know to be lies - lies that Obama insisted on spreading, knowing that they were lies.
Gabbard's accusations also seem to be having little effect on the
publicsthe media's focus on the Trump-Epstein relationship.FTFY
>The public knows the facts that Russians did try to influence the 2016 election in favor of Trump and that members of the Trump campaign did coordinate with Russian agents. Gabbard's accusations also seem to be having little effect on the publics focus on the Trump-Epstein relationship.
I think you mean the Clinton-Obama playbook - because they did exactly that which is why you think the Russians were running interference for Trump in 2016.
But for some reason waited until 2020 to invade Ukraine.

"—or whether this will all be a suitable distraction from the Jeffrey Epstein news that keeps pouring out, pointing to closer ties between Trump and the pervert financier."
"Pouring out." And this is the best they have at the moment; Epstein, whose death in prison was glossed over and the existence of any client list was denied all through Biden's presidency, is now front and center? This needs a better definition than cynical, but wordy as I am I cannot come up with one.

What they did was unwise. They are inviting trouble. Trouble found them.
And yet, the cop who shot Babbit has been excused, and people here continue to excuse him "He feared for his life". If he'd been a white cop who shot a black woman...
He wasn't just "excused." I'm pretty sure they gave him some medal or award for it.
From the same article I linked above:
A U.S. House subcommittee outlined how the Capitol Police covered up Byrd’s identity for eight months in 2021, paid more than $35,000 to house him in an admiral’s suite at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, provided $37,000 in unrestricted retention bonuses, and helped Byrd open a GoFundMe account that brought in more than $164,000.
Democrats provided $164,000 to a police officer who shot an unarmed woman. Note that it was not for his defense, because the government paid for that. #whitebitchesdontmatter
Didn't someone here recently say that settling means they're guilty?
Not a surprise at all. AFP, Reuters, BBC, and AP have released a joint statement calling on Israel to let food (and journalists) into Gaza because their freelance journalists there are starving to death.
Israel has killed more journalists in Gaza than in all wars - combined - for five+ decades. They haven't let foreign journalists into Gaza for two years so only independent open-source forensics experts can assemble and catalog the war crimes done by Israel and funded/covered up by the US. Now they are starving the journalists - just as they have been starving children - as part of their genocide and (overtly admitted) ethnic cleansing. Even Israel is using numbers in excess of 300,000 dead to 'manage' their concentration camps and food delivery to Gaza. But to the US press - crickets and silence and continued cover up.
Those four news entities have also been complicit in covering up war crimes along with the entire Western press corps. But at least maybe they are beginning to wake up. Unlike pro-genocidal shit rags like Reason here and 'the masters of the US journalism agenda' - the NYT and WaPo. Shame on you fuckwads.
I remember images of people starving in Somalia. I'm not seeing those images coming out of Gaza.
Sure there is food problems. There always is in war.
Tell Hamas to release the hostages and maybe it will end.
My second link is to a child who is clearly starving. And unlike Somalia, Ethiopia, etc - journalists (who take pictures of starvation) are not being allowed in Gaza. Or they are deliberately targeted by the IDF. That is all deliberate cover up of the truth. By the IDF and by journalists. They are succeeding in their complicity in genocide - by allowing it to happen with complete impunity.
Hamas is not the one who has broken the ceasefires re returning hostages. It is Israel who has broken both ceasefires - and Netanyahu's government which has no interest in hostage release and which is only using YOU and your ilk as useful idiots to pretend that hostages matter to the Israeli government. Israel ceased to give a shit about hostages when they invoked the Hannibal doctrine on Oct 7 and killed 150 or so kidnapees that day to prevent them becoming hostages. Only you useful idiots still sell the nonsense that it is a war aim of Israel.
Did you see the pictures of the hamas guys stuffing their faces in Gaza tunnels? Might part of the problem.
The only people stealing food in Gaza now is the gang led by Abu Shabab who is being armed by ISRAEL to do that. Hamas controls nothing in Gaza now and they certainly do not control the food distribution centers controlled by Israel and the US. Israel is creating that food theft so that they can kill anyone in Gaza who complains about that. Anyone who complains about that is deemed a 'Hamas sympathizer'. Just as Israel has created death traps - DESIGNED as death traps as is admitted by Israeli sources - where the limited food is being distributed. But hey - you somehow accept the notion that a US puppet non-profit is distributing food in IDF-controlled camps - to Hamas.
If you and your ilk weren't such stupid pieces of complicit shit, you would be able to find sources beyond the Volkischer Beobachter media sources that are enabling these crimes.
lol, stupid and complicit sums you up nicely
Sounds like a conspiracy theory.
Does the $0.50 for this post come directly from Hamas, or does it trickle down through various Marxist organizations?
Hamas controls nothing in Gaza now
Then why does Hamas claim it does, including wherever the 50 hostages/bodies they took 21 months ago are stashed?
The whole starving/genocide thing is a complete lie and antisemitic propaganda, J(ew)Free, and I know that you fucking know that. You disgusting piece of shit.
Found one.
Release the hostages.
Come on man, say it!
There have been TWO ceasefires. Both of which were broken by Israel - precisely at the beginning of the stage where all remaining hostages would be released.
Quit with your utter stupidity. The IDF and the Israeli government do not give a rat's ass about the hostages. EVERYONE ON THE FUCKING PLANET KNOWS THAT OUTSIDE YOU AMERICAN ASSCLOWNS. Including everyone in Israel.
Release the hostages.
Come on, say it!
Name calling. Signs of low quality thinking.
A call to release the hostages is utter stupidity?
I can't control if they will or if they won't. But I can admit that the hostages should be freed.
YOU MAD, BRO?
Haha. Everything Is So Terrible And Unfair, j.
So I took a look at your link.
They can only show one? If they can show one, can't they show many?
Well, except for all the Hamas stringers that are working freelance for the AP and BBC and other mainstream media companies. Sure.
'Complicit in covering up war crimes' when every mainstream media outlet pushes the Hamas narrative, complete with shitty faked video and AI pictures?
Remember how the hospitals were all '36 hours from running out of fuel' for 6 months? The 'Hamas Health Ministry's' death numbers that were completely faked. And poorly faked at that. These guys don't even feel the need to *try* with their faking - they know you eat it up.
The 'Hamas Health Ministry's' death numbers that were completely faked.
Those numbers were only 'faked' AFTER all the individuals (five of them) gathering the data were executed and dumped into a mass grave (with doctors, nurses, paramedics, etc - all of whom were deemed 'Hamas' by Israel because everyone in Gaza with any relation to some public function is deemed 'Hamas') at Shifa Hospital in Dec 2023 or Jan 2024. 'Hamas' did not hire anyone to replace them - the bureaucrats/clerks who record cause of death data at morgues. Not that your ilk has the ability to even think through that.
Israel created the 'fake' story. The NYT 'mandates' the five-word phrase 'Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry' that is repeated every time violent-cause death data is repeated. ALL of that death data is now being communicated to the world through Israel-controlled channels. The purpose of all that is to create a 'nothing to see here' narrative about Gaza. I would suspect that NOW - whoever is changing those numbers is actually either directly Israel-controlled or Israel-intimidated (iow - we know where your family is. They will all be killed unless you sign the 'numbers of deaths' that we will approve that you sign). That is why the US media continues to repeat mortality numbers that are by now pathetically low - by hundreds of thousands of dead.
That you are too fucking stupid to even understand the dynamic here is pathetic. That the media and IDF are deliberately creating this sort of dynamic in order to cover up war crimes is shameful and evil. At a certain point - your stupidity crosses over to shameful and evil.
After all the conspiracies you have accused others of promoting over the years, THIS is the one that you choose to fully embrace? The media is controlled by the Jews? That the NYT and BBC are Israel's puppets?
Release
the
hostages.
Come on, say it!
We get that you hate Jews, but there are drone videos of all these aid trucks being held up and stored in yards by Hamas, and there are videos of the Hamas members in tunnels literally feasting on aid that was meant for the people.
Then you have claims of all sorts of atrocities that are alway alleged to have been done by the IDF, but when it's actually investigated, either never happened, was committed by Hamas, or was highly exaggerated.
They do not have any credibility left, and haven't for some time. Decades?
I don't know if anyone has commented on this yet, but the new season of South Park aired last night, after a two-year hiatus. I'm about the biggest SP fan there is, and I recognize that the show isn't nearly as good as it was in it's heyday of the early- to mid-2000s, but I still love the show.
Last night's episode just wasn't funny. I don't mind at all them targeting Trump, and found the conflation of Trump with Mr. Garrison in his first term rather clever. But the jokes in last night's episode seemed phoned in. They brought back the "Saddam as the gay lover of Satan" that they used over 20 years ago, except Saddam had a Trump mask on. They overplayed the already fairly lame joke about Trump having a small penis.
What do others think? Did it strike you as a sad imitation of a previously great show, as it did for me?
I'm hoping this is just an outlier and the future episodes will be funny again.
I haven't see SP regularly for a decade or more now but let them cook - not every episode can be a banger and the longer the show runs the higher the percentage of 'meh' you're going to get.
So this last one was a low point, take them as they come, enjoy the good ones, move on from the bad ones, until the show's average quality is low enough to not bother with it anymore.
Sure, there are meh episodes, and the proportion of those to the bangers is getting higher, but that's to be expected with a show with more than 20 seasons. But even in the previous meh episodes, I still found parts of the episode funny and definitely worth watching.
This last one was worse than any of the meh episodes in the later seasons. Of course, I will watch every episode this season, as it's still South Park, and South Park was my "it" show for all of my adolescent and adult life. I'm just worried that Trey and Matt's heads aren't in the game any more--that they're phoning it in. I can't blame them for that either, if it is the case, as it's tough to turn down a $1.5 Billion contract for 50 more episodes (5 seasons).
I just hope the rest of the season will be at least decent, unlike episode 1.
Shows that run this long eventually run out of ideas.
Look at sarc for a perfect example.
All of Sarc's "ideas" came from the bottom of a bottle of Boones Farm.
