Excellent post! Just one addition: the FBI’s Russia investigation actually began after the Australian government tipped them off, based on Papadopoulos telling Alexander Downer in May 2016 that Russia had dirt on Clinton. That’s what led to the opening of Crossfire Hurricane on July 31 — not Brennan or the Steele dossier. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-05-24/mueller-investigation-george-papadopoulos-alexander-downer-speak/11107712

No! I am not! Trump is only posting this BS to distract what’s left of the cult — which you’re clearly part of — from the Epstein files, which he is clearly part of. And you’ve taken the bait — hook, line, and Fox News.

You obviously know nothing about biochemistry. Glucose and fructose are both sugar and share the same formula — C₆H₁₂O₆. Your body doesn’t care what plant they came from. It’s about how much you consume — not some fantasy toxin hiding only in HFCS. Even your MAHA roadkill brainworm has to admit: "Whether it comes from corn syrup or cane sugar, too much sugar is poison." "Cane sugar is not a health food." But sure — keep calling it a win, while Trump chugs Diet Coke and hypes a bottle he doesn’t even touch. Sweet, isn’t it?

You’re applauding Trump for taking on King Corn... By hyping a more expensive, imported ingredient — In a product he doesn’t drink — That the company hasn’t even agreed to change. Health experts agree: cane sugar and HFCS are nutritionally similar — neither is “healthy.” And you're calling it a win? Food-grade corn must meet tighter specs than ethanol — hence they pay more. And the kicker? Imported sugar runs straight against Trump’s own tariff policies, “America First” rhetoric, and his endless love for U.S. farmers. He’s undercutting them — just to pose with a bottle he doesn’t even drink. That’s not reform — it’s cosplay.

Interesting report from Murdoch’s own Wall Street Journal today.... In 2003, Ghislaine Maxwell compiled a leather-bound birthday album for Jeffrey Epstein’s 50th. One note was from Donald Trump. It read: “Happy Birthday – and may every day be another wonderful secret.” “We have certain things in common, Jeffrey.” According to the WSJ, “two people who reviewed the items while helping federal authorities” described the contents, and “the materials were reviewed by investigators at the Justice Department and FBI.” The album likely came into federal custody during Trump’s first term, in the 2019 Epstein investigation, when authorities seized documents from Epstein’s New York townhouse. Trump shot back: “This is a totally made-up story... it’s fake news, and the people pushing it are going to be sued.” He’s now threatening lawsuits — against the Wall Street Journal, Rupert Murdoch, and possibly even his own DOJ. He’s floundering like a harpooned, beached whale — as his secrets are flensed, one greasy layer of blubber at a time. https://www.wsj.com/politics/trump-jeffrey-epstein-birthday-letter-we-have-certain-things-in-common-f918d796

Mike Johnson and the GOP just pulled a Schrödinger. Johnson, per se, didn’t vote against releasing the Epstein files — he just let his party do it for him. The GOP majority voted to block the release — then Johnson stepped in front of cameras and said they should be made public. In the GOP universe, the Epstein files must stay sealed and be exposed — depending on whether it’s C-SPAN or Fox News watching. This isn’t transparency. It’s theater. The right invented Pizzagate out of thin air — now they’re dodging the one sex trafficking scandal that actually happened. Real victims. Real flight logs. Real friends in high places. The cat’s not in the box anymore — he’s eating pizza with the lizard people at Mar-a-Lago. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/house-republicans-block-release-epstein-files-1235385768/

I watched Patience on Channel 4 about six months ago — excellent, as you said. I may even watch it again—series two is due early next year. Just a heads-up for those looking for it: some copies are the Audio Description version, where parts of the soundtrack are missing. I’d recommend watching it directly on Channel 4 if you can. Art Detective started off well, but I gave up after a while. This City.... has great ratings, but it’s not my cup of tea.

Who would’ve thought — Trump blames Biden and Obama. Here are the parts Trump conveniently forgot: Epstein committed crimes while partying with Trump — ask Jane Doe. Then he was arrested under Trump’s watch. Died under Trump’s watch. And the coverup? Still under Trump’s watch. Trump was his wingman for nearly 20 years — ending only after a real estate spat. He even wished Ghislaine Maxwell well — and reportedly considered pardoning her. He had every chance to clean house. Instead, he locked the doors and dimmed the lights.

Binge-watching the first of three seasons of a real gem Perception (TV Series 2012–2015) - IMDb— an oldy but a goody that escaped my radar. It will appeal to anyone who enjoys crime series built around the unconventional — like Ludwig, The Irrational, Will Trent, High Potential, Poker Face, and Code of Silence.

Bondi vs. Patel/Bongino isn’t just a staff squabble — it’s a loyalty test with a 10% MAGA base swing on the line. MAGA still trusts Patel and Bongino. Bondi? Not anymore — she just burned her credibility. Bongino now polls ahead of Trump among the base. Keeping Bondi could cost Trump the midterms. So why is she still there? She’s seen the Epstein files. Maybe more. What did she have on Trump to get that DOJ seat? Only the best people — though some of them just know too much.

Good idea..... They're ไม้พายไม้ไผ่ (mai paai mai phai)

Isaac Asimov's Foundation (TV Series 2021– ) - IMDb, S03-E01 has just dropped. I enjoyed the first few episodes of Season One, but the rest didn’t keep me interested. Seems to have a cult following from people who’ve read the books.

You’re so right — a loser arguing on AN 500 times a week definitely isn’t a life. No wonder you’re finally seeing it.

Classic shift to ad hominem — means you have no argument. It’s a subliminal acceptance of submission and defeat. I win — you lose. Thanks — and have a good night.
