It's almost as if he has a guilty conscience. Why would that be? Sarcasm alert 😅

Andrew was arrested for suspicion of misconduct in a public office.

I didn't know that Trump had also been arrested for this. Or does he have something else he knows he's done that's linked to Andrew and thinks Andrew was arrested for that?

Yeah, I watched the clip.

He looked very pleased with himself when saying "very sad" – couldn't stop smirking.

Well indeed.

Hahahahaha! All that word salad is basically "There but for the grace of God go I" in Trump-speak. Or maybe "Hope I can still keep dodging those bullets!"

Hope he realizes that in many cases (including federal) there is no statute of limitations on sex offenses involving minors. States vary, but many have removed the statute of limitations completely, others have pushed the date way out, some are prosecutable until the victims reach age 40.

Interestingly enough in light of Epstein's ranch there, New Mexico is moving ahead with broadening the criteria for no statute of limitations.

Can we add this story to " Things that would normally bring down a Government"?

Exclusive: DHS admits ‘worst of the worst’ immigrants website had errors | CNN Politics

Trying to get my head around this. Not that it happened, but that it there will be no repercussions, no resignations.

So ICE shot 2 protestors dead, and DHS lied. And if we recall the "other thread", where the MAGAs were insisting all these "high level" criminals HAD TO BE REMOVED.... well, DHS have been lying about that too.

Praise be for the free press just asking the regime: "Are you sure this info on your website is correct ? We checked it"

This is so infantile that it is beyond belief. They are behaving as if they are a full authoritarian state, with the whole state media mechanism behind them, but they are getting ahead of themselves. They do need to do things in order. State media first, THEN the blatant lies.

"Based on the tremendous interest shown, I will be directing the Secretary of War, and other relevant Departments and Agencies, to begin the process of identifying and releasing government files related to alien and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), and unidentified flying objects (UFOs), and any and all other information connected to these highly complex, but extremely interesting and important, matters."

Trump, releasing the X files :-)

Because of course, Obama said there was aliens. Obama did clarify that statement he made. And he is basically stating the scientific consensus. The universe being pretty big and all that.

But for Trump, that means Obama released classified information.

"Asked if he also thinks aliens are real, Mr Trump responded: "I don't know if they're real or not.

"I don't have an opinion on it. I never talk about it. A lot of people do. A lot of people believe it.""

How to say you are completely scientific illiterate without...

And no, I am not mocking trump in a nerdy guffawing way. It's amazement at how dumb he is. If he were just to ask one of his scientific advisors about what Obama said, it would literary take 10 minutes, if not less, for it to be explained.... and for anyone with a modicum of "smarts" to understand. Then again, this is the "600%" guy.

well what better way to distract from the Epstein files than by releasing the X files?

I just don't know how they keep getting away with it all.

Defend yourselves cos we won't anymore but BTW you have to buy US weapons and systems to do it or else...

Donald Trump's administration has threatened to retaliate against European countries if the EU favors domestic weapons-makers in a drive to rearm the continent.

Are US arms not a bit like IPhones ?

You pay for them, but never really own them :-)

I think maybe we’re not wealthy enough to understand?. I find it absolutely infuriating and frustrating beyond words, I seem to be past being shocked.

I'm sure you're right @Jaichangecentfoisdenom I can't come up with any other explanation.

As we have had the X files today, how about a bit more foil hattery :-)

THEY MUST BE MASONS

Well, that my foil hat fun with this story, that everyone seems to have missed.

Vietnam vets sue Trump over Triumphal Arch project (thehill.com)

Yes, Trump wants a triumphal arch thing in Washington.

These vets who are against it must me Masons, what with the city layout being all Masonic and all that. It's cant be to do with Trump being a draft dodger.

The arch by the way, from stories linked in the above, Trump says :

“We’re setting up a committee ,and the committee is going to be going over it, but it’ll be substantial,” the president told reporters aboard Air Force One.

“I’d like it to be the biggest one of all. We’re the biggest, most powerful nation. I’d like it to be the biggest one of all,” he added.

“There are 57 cities throughout the world that have them. We’re the only major city, Washington DC, that doesn’t…” the president told reporters Saturday.

“So we have an unbelievable arc that I think will be the most beautiful in the world being built there. It’s going to be built there,” he added.

I found some images: Why is it I wonder, that in this day and age of CG and even AI, why do all his renderings etc look so cheap ?

Apologies if I am stating the obvious but the detail on Mar-a- Lago has only just sunk in with me.The penny only just dropped properly.

Donald Trump’s response to Andrew Mountbatten Windsor’s arrest speaks volumes. Trump looked unusually rabbit- stuck- in- the- headlights to me when he gave his response to the arrest.His comments were:

“I’m the one that can talk about it”
“I’m totally exonerated…”
“I did nothing”

An innocent person just wouldn’t think to say that.Why did he immediately link his response to his role, not just focussing on the British Royal family?

His response triggered me to actually read more detail, I read the Guardian extract of what Virginia Giuffre actually described about her early time of working at Mar-a-Lago.She started in 2000, aged 16, as a pretty, spa locker-room attendant. I had not actually read this detail properly before. In both interviews, court documents and her book, she describes being taken to meet Donald Trump after starting there, that he expressly mentioned she could potentially do babysitting work for some of his wealthy friends.

Shortly after that, Ghislaine Maxwell spotted her whilst driving past her at the club and then invited her to come to the house to meet Epstein, which led to immediately being shown how to give him a massage followed by the first of many sex sessions with him and then others.

Giuffre did not allege misconduct by Trump. However I just do not believe in coincidence. First, she is introduced to Trump, second he suggests working for his rich friends and surprise, surprise the next thing happens is that Maxwell approaches her. Trump at the very least would have know about Epstein’s entourage of young girls. It is speculative, but also logical, to conclude that Trump expressly mentioned Giuffre as a potential candidate to Maxwell/Epstein- you can imagine something along the lines of“ There’s a pretty blonde new employee you may be interested in”. I know that is speculation and the only one who would know if she was tipped off is Maxwell of course, Giuffre would not have known if she had been discussed.

In aummary, Virginia Giuffre meets Trump at Mar-a-Lago- then shortly afterwards Ghislaine Maxwell recruited her. When you look at the sequence of events there are very, unsettling coincidences.

Obviously Andrew is a morally bankrupt perv who deserves his demise (poor Beatrice and Eugenie) but Trump at the very least turned a blind eye, more likely tipped Epstein/Maxwell off about pretty new candidates.

Who else gets a weird "Dangerous Liasons" vibe here ?

Guiffre always seemed quite loyal to trump and used to insist he never attacked her. She wrote in her memoirs she was quite guilt wracked because later on after she was recruited she was persuaded to start scouting for new victims.

This might explain the Chagos stuff. From Sky news:

Cooper declines to deny that UK blocking US from using British bases to attack Iran
The foreign secretary has declined to dismiss reports that the UK is blocking the US from using British bases to launch attacks on Iran.
It follows our security and defence editor Deborah Haynes reporting that Sir Keir Starmer has declined to give the US permission to launch air strikes against Iran from the British base on Diego Garcia and RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire.
Under long-standing agreements between London and Washington, the Pentagon can only launch operations from the two sites with advance approval from the British government.
This has not yet been given in relation to any potential strike against Iran because of concern that such a mission would be a breach of international law, according to The Times.
Yvette Cooper was asked this morning about whether the UK is indeed blocking the US from being able to plan attacks on Iran from British bases by ITV News.
The foreign secretary replied: "The UK and the US have a long deep security partnership.
"We work immensely closely and on the issue of Iran that is why we're supporting the US talks taking place with Iran because frankly the Iranian regime has continued to pose a security threat has continued to pursue nuclear weapons and that is why we've supported sanctions and also to increase diplomatic and economic pressure on the regime.
"That's what we believe is the right thing to do."

I think Diego Garcia is where the US park a load of B52 bombers.

Whatever happened to "America don't need no stinking allies" ?

I hope Starmer tells Trump to fuck off until he has publicly apologised for his NATO insults.

Or will the US invade the UK in accordance with it's "We do what we want" foreign policy

Goodness me.

What happened to the honour of having something named after you.

I did notice something Trump said at the end of his peace thing. He said, and I paraphrase, that he was surrounded by the most powerful people here, and the richest.

From that, applying his logic, the leader of a nation owns the nation, and it's wealth.

"Don't look over HERE, look over THERE!"

Wait till they hear about top trumps.
