And Epstein and his beautiful files are still trying to claw their way out of his grave

Ew.

The House Oversight Committee has subpoenaed J.P. Morgan and Deutsche Bank for Jeffrey Epstein's financial records.

Ahhh, those pesky Epstein files. A war would really be a distraction <looks around>
Of course, Venezuela!!!!

Does the GOP have a Nazi problem?
Laura Loomer thinks so!🤯🤯🤯

Wait, first MTG turning 'traitor', now Loopy Laura criticizing the GOP? Have I entered an alternate dimension? Has there been a glitch in the matrix?

Maybe the tide is finally turning.

From your keyboard to God's monitor!

Who would have foreseen the completely inexperienced prosecution team Trump hired making a cock up this catastrophic?

Something is definitely happening. November 2025 polls show that Trump’s net approval on immigration fell -38 points with Latinos.

Given that ICE is racially profiling and targeting brown people, I'm not surprised.

The mystery to me is what they, or any other non-white people eligible to vote in the USA, ever found attractive in Trump in the first place, it’s not as if he ever pretended he’s not a member of the KKK racist bigot.

Tomorrow will be interesting. 🍿

I don’t know if MTG or LL are finally seeing the light or whether they have realised the Trump-MAGA grift is up and they need to get out in front of the backlash.

They are still MAGA, just perhaps not Trump-MAGA.

Rory Stewart pointed out that MTG previously claimed the California wildfires of 2018 were started by the Rothschild’s firing a laser from space. When challenged on the antisemitic nature of these comments she claimed she didn’t know the Rothschilds were Jewish.

She’s still utterly batshit. A stopped clock and all that…

This deal was apparently agreed between Russia and the US, in the absence of Ukraine.

So… the Epstein File Transparency Act has this exception. What can go wrong….

FFS.

In this Telegraph article, Russia denies knowledge of the plan.
Ukraine is obliged under its constitution to put ceding of territory to a public vote that would be likely to fail – something a lease deal would avoid.
Shortly after the deal emerged, Lt Gen Keith Kellogg, Mr Trump’s special envoy to Ukraine, announced his resignation. A close associate said he believed fellow Trump administration officials were being strung along by Russia.

Do you think MTG spotted that?

I posted this on the Ukraine thread yesterday

New: I can confirm hasty US-Russia proposal being pushed to Ukrainians via Dmitriev-Witkoff to Umerov. It would amount to Ukraine’s capitulation, with people familiar saying it’s Kremlin’s maximalist demands.
-Ukraine army cut 1/2
-Give up certain weapons
-Give up Donbas
-Zelensky displeased

I'm concerned that Zelensky might feel that he has no choice but to accept, in order to end the suffering in Ukraine. He is actually between a rock and a hard place. The 'secret' plan allegedly says the Ukraine has to negotiate protections with Europe and the US separately.

I hope Trump burns in hell for eternity.

Just to lower the tone.

Ahhh, what would we do without humour!

Trump was never "MAGA". The same way Boris Johnson was never a Brexiteer.

And for the MTG Loomer constituency, there is a realisation that while Trump is most certainly not forever, MAGA is.

As soon as you solve that equation, there is only one course of action.

It's inconceivable that MTG and Loomer (to take two) have not read the runes in their own base - and those do not like what DJT has done and (more importantly) is doing.

Fans of downfalls will know that in 1990, after she lost her first vote, Mrs Thatcher was visited, one by one by the top Tory brass who all said "I'm sorry Prime minister, but I cannot support you"

Now I know Trump can't really resign. But he can become powerless if congress suddenly grows a pair.

If Zelensky asked the world "Why should Ukraine be the cover up for Donald Trumps Epstein ?" files, it wouldn't be contentious.

I see Christiano Ronaldo is cosying up to Trump. So pleased that Ireland made him cry.

Zelensky is not Putin. The Ukraine Parliament would have to agree first.
