Try to show some compassion, it must be pretty traumatic to be dedicated to a saviour who then publicly denounces his faithful as "bad people,"stupid people" etc. But the MAGA faithful might not ever hear about it, as it is not being reported in the Fox bubble. https://apnews.com/video/trump-slams-his-own-supporters-as-stupid-people-for-falling-for-what-he-calls-the-epstein-hoax-cfd1ccc177d44729a6a076e9ec41b438 It will be a new experience for many, as MAGA doesn't do compassion.

Forget about Epstein, like the boss said. Remember that.

When these fellows from India, Pakistan et al go to the Gulf countries to work some manage to come away with documents that they are citizens of that country; I suppose it's just a matter of $$$. But this sounds interesting, I wonder who the sides are and what the animosity is. Tough guys posing like Bombay crime movie cosplay villains is probably it.

I grew up and lived my first 20+ years in NYC, which was guesstimated to have a daytime population of 20 million back when. A few times I've witnessed things to some degree, like traffic accidents, brawls, fires, etc. Every time I saw one of the these reported in the news there would be something off.

Yanks will not be pushed aside by those damned redcoats when it comes to stupidity. There was a guy in Florida (where prostitution is illegal) who propositioned a streetwalker who took his money and immediately ran off. He then tracked her down and called in the police, explained he paid for a bj which she didn't provide and that the officer should tell her to make good on the deal or arrest her. Long may it wave!

Before guessing look for evidence, like a prolapsed rectum.

I've never taken an interest in this stuff, then I saw the first two seasons of "The Crown" (Claire Foy was great, also the actress who played the hot version of her sister). There was a scene where the queen was bothered by the remarks of a certain US first lady so the queen invited her back to entertain her at Windsor Castle and had her witness a martial display with full regalia, portrayed as subtly aggressive. Maybe that's the idea this time too, something to do with the bs about annexing Canada? Great idea! Give him the "all seasons" treatment, with the same send-off.

Are you certain she didn't say he was very orange? After Putin's first meeting with DT the first report was he thought DT was "brilliant." Given a second reading, it turned out he meant "very shiny" brilliant, as opposed to a comment on mental acuity.

If wife swapping is involved then I would almost feel sorry for DT. Charles, you lucky dog!

A little more security for the kids' education fund?

The evangelicals are looking to DT as a King Cyrus figure. I didn't get much Old Testament when I was a kid so I don't know the story, Apparently they are willing to overlook any flaws so long as he delivers whatever it is they are hoping for.

Oh, that was DT? I thought it was Taylor Swift's grandmother. oops! wrong sport A lot of American men seem to think soccer is a gay sport (but maybe that's just in jest), so I'm surprised he showed up. On the other hand, I have a friend who played minor-league soccer (or whatever they call it) in his younger days. He is gay, and he considers it a gay sport. Go figure.

Why would they lie? Once again the WH is a flying ketchup zone. https://www.politico.com/news/2022/06/28/january-6-hearings-cassidy-hutchinson-key-moments-video-analysis-00042914 I get the impression this Epstein stuff is really putting those diapers to use. Just about all the late-night political satire TV shows in the US have been on summer hiatus for a few weeks, some until August: I'm sure he's aware of that. I suspect there will be followers of his suddenly taking an interest in what they have to say when they return. His approval is back down to 35%. Somebody wake me up when it hits 27%. Wouldn't it be something if he skipped out of the country, Thaksin style?

Just more of the reality show histrionics. TV ratings is a 24 hour battle. Bone spurs be damned.

Take a break and go to a different country for a bit, like Bangladesh.

There is a mathematical puzzle about the probability of the JFK witnesses nearly all died before they could testify. A statistics teacher sprung it on us, I think the body count was 25. Fox channel and its cousins have let slip the dogs on DT -- gotta wonder what the game is. Keep them shoes shiny, JD! MAGA having it's Pogo moment:

He seems to have found an Achilles's heel on DT with this Epstein stuff. DT can hit back with espionage. It's kind of like watching a Japanese monster movie where the two beasts fight to the end.

The US is a poor country that doesn't have money for this disaster relief, those people need to follow Mitch McConnell's advice and "get over it." The gov't needs all the money it can muster for tax breaks for the very rich. MAGA baby!

Why is this man smiling?

Chaos. It gets so confusing people commence to ignore it. Works great!

Both MAGA and the new Elon party (which would have been a more apt name) are not really political parties with a vision, agenda, etc. -- they are both the extensions of a single person. MAGA without DT did not do well in the 2018 midterms. One would have to be a fool to think Elon would be fair or democratic: like with DT the true motto of the party will be "ME ME ME!" Let's see who his stooge for the 2028 race will be. I'm waiting for winds to shift on Tesla. Like Steve Jobs he may be fired from his own company, the difference here, though, is EM has enough leverage to buy it back and take it private, or maybe take it to a country where the people are better behaved, like Hungary or Belarus. Another thing to watch for is that the powers-that-be may come up with some espionage charges against the naturalized citizen. People with a bent toward democracy and a belief that people, in general, should be treated decently, should do a show of support for Elon's party at this point. Divide and conquer.

Jeffrey Epstein didn’t have a ‘client list,’ and committed suicide, DOJ and FBI say in findings that debunk conspiracy theories: report The current president picked two of the dumbest right-wing bloggers to run the FBI, and the AG is his puppet. Did anybody with a functional brain actually expect otherwise?

Maybe all this MAGA double/triple-talk will shake things up, but in the post-WWII era in the US a third party serves as none other than a spoiler. 1968 (?) 1992 2000 In the 1990s word started going around that Gene McCarthy's 1968 run as "the 'stop the war' candidate was a set-up by the GOP. In 1992 Ross Perot got 19% of the popular vote but carried 0 states. Personally, I thought he would start a new party for future, but he seemed to disappear from politics. In 2000 Nader got less than a million votes but was effective. DT's approval rating has never gone below the 30-35% range. Don't count on any news knocking those numbers down. But MAGA without DT might just might. But maybe EM can cause such a schism in the GOP that the sitting invertebrates will stand up to DT's threats of being primaried out and this new party becomes new guise of the GOP. I doubt it.

You know those little salads, made with tomato and cucumber etc that Egyptian eateries serve with nearly every meal? Very popular way to get food poisoning for the locals too. Every few weeks news headlines about 100 students sick from bad salad, restaurants shuttered etc.
