Under normal circumstances, I'd assume those letters were a spoof. That they even considered sending them, let alone actually doing it- I have no words.

Ted Cruz was spotted in Athens, Greece yesterday enjoying a holiday

Didn't he fuck off to Mexico once before when there was a disaster in his area?

Reality is fake news. We're well on the road to hell now, there's no turning back, at least not in my lifetime (I'm 69).

Yep - left Texas suffering with no power during a terrible winter storm in 2021 and swanned off to Mexico.
(Wonders...Are Repub legislators still allowed to vacation there now?)

This time he voted for cuts to Noaa's (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) funding 4 days before the flood and then went on vacation to Greece.

Now he's scuttled back and is trying to look convincing.

There’s no doubt afterwards we are going to have a serious retrospective as you do after any disaster and say ‘OK what could be done differently to prevent this disaster?’” Cruz told Fox News. “The fact you have girls asleep in their cabins when flood waters are rising, something went wrong there. We’ve got to fix that and have a better system of warnings to get kids out of harm’s way.”

Something to confess Roger?

MAGAts all over my ‘for you’ discovering that Leavitt and Trump have started lying to them is a thing of beauty. Of course the penny will have undropped by the end of the week and they’ll be back to a full on love in. Alex Jones is gutted.

The Epstein jail video released by the DoJ is missing one minute. And Trump is trying to shut down a reporter asking Bondi about it.

I haven't checked if Amazon is doing a Prime deal on popcorn but I might splurge anyway....

Trump really doesn't know what's going on, does he? The Ukraine support - on-off, on-off, on-off. He didn't know what Hegseth had announced about stopping arms shipments, can't understand why Putin is "so nice" to his face and then does the opposite to what they've supposedly 'discussed' etc etc.

If the Epstein list actually exists, I'm surprised it (Elon's tech baby crew?) hasn't leaked it yet.

I can't help but feel this Epstein business is a massive dead cat.

Given what has happened so far, I don't think there is now anything that can destroy Trump in the MAGA mind. They have been allowed to shut out anything counter to Project Trump with "fake news".

Serpentstooth · 09/07/2025 09:44

Sadly, agree with that. The amount of admin required to keep Epstein Island and its related jollies going must have been huge and now we don't know who went where, when and what they did. I can't help feeling that Mr Epstein kept immaculate records from necessity. Wonder who's got them if the FBI can't find them? It's a mystery.🤔

RafaistheKingofClay · 09/07/2025 11:12

Have they checked the bathrooms in Mar a Lago?

The logical conclusion is that there are many many people for whom the current position Trump holds is very very convenient.

If I wanted to be cynical, I would say that anytime you cannot understand why someone continues to support Trump then asking yourself "Could they be a paedophile ?" is a fair question. Because the answer to the former may be found in the answer to the latter.

And if Trump is now King of the US, surely there are Princes ?

E2A: This may actually be the chink in the armour. Trump is untouchable, as we know. However, with so much in the open, the accusation that a person supports Trump because they are a paedophile does start to have heft.

Serpentstooth · 09/07/2025 12:20

Elon will have to work on that one. I wonder, now that Bigly has his desired nomination, whether Netanyahu spent any time with Epstein. I'd be very surprised if they were unacquainted.

bloodredfeaturewall · 09/07/2025 13:12

regarding trump opposition - I hope he and his ilk don't start pushing people out of windows...

I believe there are people who can do that by request. No dirty hands, please. And stay off that balcony.

Edited

I read an article on the new breast cancer vaccine which has just complete stage 1 clinical trials for triple negative breast cancer. The results are excellent so the plan is to start trials on other types. If all goes to plan they think they'll be able to eradicate breast cancer by 2030. Except the plan is now in doubt because Trump has pulled funding.

Jaichangecentfoisdenom · 09/07/2025 18:03

Yep. No more words, @MrTiddlesTheCat. Thank you for the link.

RafaistheKingofClay · 09/07/2025 18:26

Pretty sure the funding for the HIV vaccine got pulled too.

Drumpf due to visit his golf resort at Menie in Aberdeenshire later this month to open a new course. Come on Scottish MNetters do your stuff. (RIP Janey)

State visit still on for September it seems.

Interestingly Obama will be at the O2 in London in September... maybe the stars will align?
