[Spandauer]

Don Snoreleone trying to stay awake long enough to bring all his racist dreams to fruition. So when can we bring about his personal "civilisational erasure”?

Dear Lord, sounds like The Hunger Games is coming next year - 1 young man and 1 young woman from each State to compete in the “Patriot Games”.

Edit - sorry about the mega link.

A throwback to Ancient Rome and "bread and circuses" (without the bread) strategy to distract the populace from deep political problems.

MAGATS will love this as a show of national strength and power.
Everyone else will be shaking their heads in WTAF disbelief.

Re: Epstein Files

Leaked GOP memo gives step-by-step instructions on how to use DARVO (deny, attack, reverse victim and offender) a psychological manipulation tactic, to dismiss any Trump wrongdoing, and instead villainize Dems and frame Trump as the victim

Someone really seems to have it in for MAGA ...

Thanks placemats, can't move round here this year without bumping into something Austen-related. Am considering setting up a Bonnets, Breeches and Boots stall in the High St. Unlike the orange thing, there can never be a surfeit of Austen imo.

Oh yes

Great celebration plans. The Pigly is 10 years old isn't he? Will there be hot dogs and a choo -choo train too ?

Deputy AG says justice department will release 'several hundred thousand' Epstein files today with more to come

If I lived in Venezuela, now might be the time I consider a foreign holiday.

According to the Times, the White House asked for Fifa peace trophy to be as big as World Cup

Agree and love the BBB.

They ran out of sharpies?

Only if all the participants are caucasian. Otherwise it'll be Hitler, Jesse Owens, and the '36 Olympics all over again.

Could we possibly have our 'Deep Throat' out there somewhere? There do seem to be more 'leaks' than usual.

It'd be so much easier now, no need for meetings in a dark parking garage. All you'd need is someone with IT/hacking ability and the dark web or some location 'obfuscation' to transfer the data.

What they are releasing tonight is expected at 8pm GMT.

Not all of them it seems.
How's that going to play out with the lily-livered Repugs?

Justice Department official says full Epstein files won't come by Friday deadline.

He is 70 minutes late for whatever speech he is giving.

These people waiting for him😅

I wonder... If one of them passed out, would Trump even notice they were on the floor?

Not long now

I veer from 'he has truly lost his teeny tiny mind' to 'arrogance knows no bounds'. Then I wonder how much more of this can we take before 'somebody does something'.

Thank you @AcrossthePond55, that's pretty much where I'm at.🥂🍿
It's going to be an unbearable year 'til the midterms.

By the time his term is up they're gonna need a much bigger plaque.

With so many staff, you'd think one of them could tell the time...

I wonder if him not showing up might have anything to do with the release of scads more Epstein files stuff.

Maybe it is getting harder to wake him from his nap and get his makeup done
