The interview with his Atlantic City manager said he flew 28 “modeling agency” girls down for a “party” for just him and Epstein. Epstein recruited more than one trafficked girl from trump’s house.
It’s not that much of a stretch, is it.
Yes thay do. Yes thay do.
Mass transit is great for cities and that’s it right now. If you live in an area with less than 500,000 people mass transit isn’t happening for awhile. EVs give us clean powered vehicles for the interim which - optimistically - will still be 20-30 years.
Stopping EVs now is a bad idea. Use them to leverage electric renewable infrastucture.
For cities, though, yeah minimal cars is better.
See - everyone who's new to the exciting play-by-play of a trump administration - this is how it goes. They do something like this - so boneheaded, so outrageous, so confoundingly incompetent you think, "That's the stupidest thing there ever could be" and then tomorrow - NOPE! New stupidest thing!
We did this already. It was four years of fucking insane hell. Many, many people died.
We're doing it again. I guess we're the stupidest motherfuckers to ever be.
The sale of Snopes was problematic for the ex-husband, but I think they do a good job explaining what they know and how they know it. Links to sources are given etc.
And, by all means, if you know of some other source not listed please post it.
"According to information my office received, the FBI was pressured to put approximately 1,000 personnel in its Information Management Division (IMD) … on 24-hour shifts to review approximately 100,000 Epstein-related records in order to produce more documents that could then be released on an arbitrarily short deadline," Durbin wrote to Patel.
"This effort, which reportedly took place from March 14 through the end of March, was haphazardly supplemented by hundreds of FBI New York Field Office personnel, many of whom lacked the expertise to identify statutorily-protected information regarding child victims and child witnesses or properly handle FOIA requests," the letter said.
"My office was told that these personnel were instructed to 'flag' any records in which President Trump was mentioned."
Durbin then referenced a well-known quote by Trump about Epstein, made to a magazine when they were still friends.
"Notably, in 2002, Mr. Trump said of Mr. Epstein, 'I've known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy, He's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side,' " Durbin wrote.

😱
That doesn't sound like trump's administration at all
Noice.
Indeed, that's exactly the kind of thing Regan was about destroying when he removed the fairness doctrine policy and began the attacks on the FCC that resulted in widespread deregulation and media conglomeration. Our FCC now is a joke. As was their intent.

Maceo Snipes Shot After Voting (1946)
Thu Jul 18, 1946
Image: Maceo Snipes [zinnedproject.org]
On this day in 1946, Maceo Snipes, the first black person to vote in Georgia's Taylor County, was shot by white supremacists, dying after doctors refused to give him a blood transfusion due to segregation. The violence outraged a teenage MLK Jr.
Snipes was a World War II veteran who had returned to his hometown of Butler, Georgia. In 1946, a provocative campaign issue was whether or not black people should be allowed to vote in primary elections. Georgia's Jim Crow government had been enforcing whites-only primary elections, but this had been struck down by the Supreme Court earlier that year.
Despite threats from the Ku Klux Klan, Snipes cast his vote in the primary election on July 17th that year, becoming the first black person to vote in Taylor County, according to the Georgia Civil Rights Cold Cases Project. The following day, four white supremacists showed up to Maceo's house, interrupting dinner with his wife, and shot him in the back. The man who shot him, Edward Williamson, was also a World War II veteran.
Snipes was taken to the hospital, where he waited for several hours before the doctors would perform the surgery to remove the bullets. A white doctor told his family that Maceo needed a transfusion, but refused to give him one, citing a lack of "black blood" in the hospital. Without a transfusion, Snipes died two days later. Snipes' funeral was held in the middle of the night due to death threats for anyone who dared attend.
In court, Maceo's killers falsely pleaded self-defense, claiming that Snipes owed them money and attacked them with a knife. Both the coroner and jury determined their actions to be justified. Snipes was one of five black people lynched following the 1946 elections - two couples, Roger and Dorothy Malcom and George and Mae Murray Dorsey - were kidnapped, beaten, and shot. Mae was seven months pregnant at the time.
This outbreak of white supremacist violence, and the hypocrisy surrounding it, outraged a teenage Martin Luther King Jr., then a student at Morehouse College. He wrote a letter to the editor of "The Atlanta Constitution", stating:
"I often find when decent treatment for the Negro is urged, a certain class of people hurry to raise the scarecrow of social mingling and intermarriage. These questions have nothing to do with the case. And most people who kick up this kind of dust know that it is simple dust to obscure the real question of rights and opportunities. It is fair to remember that almost the total of race mixture in America has come, not at Negro initiative, but by the acts of those very white men who talk loudest of race purity. We aren’t eager to marry white girls, and we would like to have our own girls left alone by both white toughs and white aristocrats."

Classiest GOP Rep. Cory Mills Getting Evicted From $21,000 PER MONTH DC Penthouse
(www.wonkette.com)
Is this the location where he allegedly beat his mistress? Allegedly you betcha!
Is there anything more Trump-era Republican than fake-rich living beyond one’s means? And cheating on your wife, allegedly beating your mistress and lying about your finances and qualifications? Meet Florida Rep. Cory Mills, who is one messy pile of curb furniture! He’s getting evicted from the soon-to-be-divorced-dad pad he was sharing with his sidepiece because he owes his landlord more than $85,000 in unpaid rent, on a penthouse that’s nearly $21,000 a month!
(If you live outside DC or New York or another large city, please understand that $21K per month is very expensive anywhere.)
How befitting for an arms-maker with shady finances. (You know, in case you were curious how he got approved for $21K per month on his $174,000 congressional salary.) If you’re wondering what the soon-to-be-available place looks like, TPM’s Josh Marshall found a link to a similar, slightly smaller penthouse in the complex. Oligarch chic!
The eviction scoop and receipts were picked up by former Daily Beast reporter Roger Sollenberger and dropped on X, and Mills quickly X’d back the sorriest of excuses for not playing his bills:
Sure, guy, the multibillion-dollar management company Bozzuto left its website unable to collect rent from tenants for months on end and refused to accept payment in any other way. You know landlords, how they’re always so lackadaisical about collecting their money! (Especially when the rent is $21K.)
Always projection! Sollenberger added for good measure:
FWIW, this isn't a surprise — Cory Mills has had foreclosure and lien troubles for more than a decade. What is a surprise is how a guy with his financial history is affording a penthouse in one of the most expensive rental properties in Washington, DC. (And a rented beach house.)
Sounds like he is NOT, that IS very mysterious, and ZING.
Sollenberger threw on the pile:
New Cory Mills campaign filing shows $35,000 in legal payments from April through June, with another $41,000 in unpaid legal service fees, including $10,000 in "disputed" charges.
GET IT TOGETHER, CORY.
Mills also has even more swirling drama of the homewrecking and financial kind.
His 17-years-younger girlfriend, Sarah Raviani, called 911 in February, claiming Mills had assaulted her, and that he was her partner of more than a year. Police saw fresh bruises on her, and heard Mills telling her on the phone to lie to them about the cause of her injuries. But then-acting US Attorney for DC Ed Martin wouldn’t sign his arrest warrant, Raviani retracted her statement, and the problem went away for him. Now Mills is getting evicted for nonpayment on that same place where it happened. Karmic!
Raviani is also co-founder of the group Iranians for Trump, where she “spearheaded efforts to mobilize Iranian-American voters.” Wonder if any in that group have some regrets now? Maybe one or two?
Oh, and Mills has a wife. She is an Iraqi refugee, and they have two sons. Holy near-east conflict!
Mills and wife were married by an Islamic cleric in Virginia in 2014, one Mohammad Al-Hanooti, who the Daily Mail insists is a Hamas supporter who had connections to some of the guys who bombed the World Trade Center in 1993, and who said in 1998 that “Allah will rain his curse on the Americans and the British.” (Maybe Mills is that curse?) Mills excused using such a controversial imam to marry them because, he said, they were in a big hurry for his soon-to-be wife to get a new green card so she could travel, and he was the only one they could find. Mkay!
And of course one of Mills’s favorite things to holler has been that Nancy Pelosi, Anthony Fauci and Joe Biden are like Al-Qaeda. Weird coming from this particular guy, but OK!
After the police report came out, Mills claimed he and the wife were in the process of divorce. I’ll bet!
Don’t you just love how these are the people lecturing everybody else on FAMILY VALUES? Hope this eviction maybe helps Raviani move on with her life.
AND there’s more shadiness around Mills, because of course. Two ethics investigations: When he got elected in 2022 he owned a grenade and tear-gas-manufacturing concern, and the board of the Office of Congressional Conduct had some questions about what countries his clients were in, which Mills refused to answer. Also somehow a $1.8 million loan from Mills appeared in his campaign coffers, and nobody knows where he got that money. The Board concluded that “there is substantial reason to believe that Rep. Mills may have omitted or misrepresented required information in his financial disclosure statements,” and investigations allegedly continue.
A real peach, this one. He also likes to brag that his company’s tear gas was used on Black Lives Matter protesters, and their riot bullets on protesters in Hong Kong. He announced his arrival in the House in 2022 by gifting everyone an artisanal grenade.
