The juvenile trolls didn't get it, but their bowling analogy is perfect.

The ball hits the first pin straight on. That's not how you get a strike. That's how you get an almost-impossible-to-solve split.

Their own metaphor predicts a quagmire.

Suspending the measly 19 cents / gallon federal gasoline tax would be stupid, short-term political pandering. And it would even put pressure on states to suspend the state-imposed gasoline taxes, causing a fiscally devastating cascade effect.

Agreed; Kilmeade s/ either get on one of those tankers or join the U.S. Army.

He's stupid. The decision to proceed thru Strait of Hormuz isn't the captain's; its the shippers' b/c they can't get marine cargo insurance. Which was fully predictable.

The Post and Courier, which is leading the investigative work on the woman who accused Trump of sexually assaulting her when she was a child, looks into the woman’s FBI interview and substantiates many details through public records

The DOJ released evidence, which the FBI deemed credible, that the President of the United States sexually and physically assaulted a 13 year old girl AND she was afraid to talk about it because Trump would kill herβ€”and it’s somehow not the biggest scandal in American history?

Americans Are Now a Target in Trump’s Immigration Crackdown A WSJ investigation tracked the U.S. citizens caught in the crosshairs of an aggressive federal campaign to detain and demonize dissenters.

Crucially important read:

The DHS is abusing its power to brand American protesters as terrorists.

WSJ: 181 of the 279 β€œpeople accused by officials on X of attacking federal officers in the past year” are U.S. citizens.

About 1/2 never charged.

0 convicted.

They're unable to distinguish b/w reality and video games. BTW, ditto for Pete Hegseth, Lil' Marco, JD Vance, and most ICE and CBP terrorists.

A federal judge in DC rules that Kari Lake was not lawfully appointed and that actions she took as the claimed head of USAGM "shall have no force or effect," including last August's RIFs at the Voice of America.

Hey, if English was good enough for Jesus Christ, it's good enough for Donald Trump. 🀣

Agreed. If Trump is so innocent, why is he afraid to testify under oath to Congress, including submitting to informed cross-examination? He s/b willing to share what he knows so #Epstein's victims can obtain some degree of justice.

Justice Department publishes documents with sexual assault allegations against Trump The department shared FBI documents outlining allegations involving Trump.

"The woman’s central allegation, according to FBI summaries of her interviews with investigators, known as FBI 302s, is that Trump hit her after she bit his penis when he attempted to force her to perform oral sex."

No women? Trump likes to surround himself with big, meaty, sweaty alpha-male manly men.

Asked whether Americans should be worried about retaliatory attacks at home, Trump acknowledges the possibility. β€œI guess,” he says. "...Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die." time.com/7382697/trum...

The blotch on Trump's neck is a hickey from Lindsey Graham.

Also to protect our own troops and civilians by conveying the moral message that killing and torture are, like, bad things. WWJD?

Does puppy-perforator Kristi Noem get to keep her luxury taxpayer-funded Boeing 737 love shack as part of her severence package? Does she get to keep her "chief of staff" and f*ckbunny Corey Lewendowski?

And when will Trump release ALL of the #Epstein files?

Maybe, but I doubt Corey is willing to be Mullin's fuckbunny on those luxury jet flights.

KAMLAGER-DOVE: At any point in your tenure at DHS, have you had sexual relations with Corey Lewandowski?

NOEM: You're peddling tabloid garbage

K: You should be able to answer if someone asks if a federal official is sleeping with their subordinate

NOEM: It's garbage

K: It's about your judgment

Jayapal to Noem: "None of these four US citizens were charged with a crime, none had their citizenship questioned, and all were lawfully exercising their First Amendment rights. Do you have anything you want to say to them?"

Operation #Epstein Distraction lacks clear purpose and plan for next steps. Well, per the great philosopher Yogi Berra,

"If you don't know where you're going, you probably won't get there."

Sadly, however, the governments of Australia, Germany, Canada and likely others, plus the NATO secretary general, publicly support Operation Epstein Distraction.
