I just wonder when the leaders of the EU and other countries will simply turn their backs on Trump, despite all his threats and bullying; form a united front and tell him to go to hell?

I bet they're just like America, waiting for Trump's term to expire. Trump's tariffs show he knows nothing about economics and he has no advisor worth listening to.

Seems unlikely all the biggest of the Big Business Billionaires will let the Trump Show make them lose a lot of money. I'm wondering if one or two of them will decde to do something about the runaway train.

I leave the method of correction entirely to their fertile little minds. :-)

That is exactly what they need to do. Our universities, media, and entertainment industries all need to do the same.

ALL the World Does Indeed HATE US ! and Rightly So !

I am hoping for exactly that.

WOW….. “ what a tangled web we weave when we practice to deceive.” It’s exhausting. To be an honest person is so much easier. Nothing to keep up with. Just facts.

Kate Delano-Condax Decker's avatar

Shakespeare couldn't have said it better :-) heh!

KATHRYN LEMON's avatar

Obviously, You Have NEVER Read the Bard, Sweetie...

Kate Delano-Condax Decker's avatar

Actually, I have read Shakespeare -- I think almost all of it. And I edited a book by an author who sets out to prove Shakespeare was the pen name of Edward de Vere , 17th Earl of Oxford (n.b: I do not personally think this is true, although there is a certain segment of the Shakespeare-reading public who believes it). I also edited a book on the coat of arms of William Shakespear's father, and various other articles by the same author.

I know enough of Shakespeare by heart that I once swapped quoted passages by Shakespeare for over an uninterrupted half-hour train ride, to pass the time on our way to an event, with an amateur Shakespeare scholar -- (He quoted a memorized passage, then I did, etc to see which of us would first run out of quotes we knew by heart). I won, but only because I am pretty sure he let me, and we had arrived at our destination).

The actual quotation from Marmion, by Sir Walter Scott, if I remember it right, was: "What tangled webs these mortals weave, when first they practice to deceive." -- at least as I have heard it (I have probably mis-quoted it).

P.S. and N.B. -- On the subject of what other people know or do not know, my mother once warned me not to get all my exercise by jumping to conclusions. :-)

I keep hearing about maga splitting with Trump over the Epstein issue, but the main pack is still cheering Trump's economic and immigration issues forward. We need some real good news, like the first president to be impeached 3 times.

Rote Kapelle's avatar

We can't count on an impeachment. What we need is for the military to pull up, arrest him, and fly him, and all of his co-conspirators to the Hague. Unfortunately that's even less likely to happen.

Kate Delano-Condax Decker's avatar

...or how about Guantanamo? The Hague...much too nice.

Rote Kapelle's avatar

Or lock them up in the hell they created, put them in Alagator Alcatraz!

Kate Delano-Condax Decker's avatar

Oh, of course! Alligator Alcatraz would be perfect! Why didnt I think of that? :-) !!

Rote Kapelle's avatar

Don't be too hard on yourself. I didn't either at first. But I do feel like it would be the most just.

Kate Delano-Condax Decker's avatar

I am reading your comments and feeling inspired. :-)

KATHRYN LEMON's avatar

Better News would Be --- MAGA Neutralized !

Kate Delano-Condax Decker's avatar

Yes, it seems inexplicable. But that is what a great Con Man can do: brainwash some people. No light gets in after that.

So let me get this straight.

The man who…

– Fired the guy who prosecuted Epstein

– Then sent his own defense attorney to meet with Epstein’s madam

– Is now floating pardons while swatting imaginary flies in front of UK leaders

…wants us to believe he’s the one telling the truth?

Nah. This has got panic written all over it baby.

Trump isn’t running for president. He’s running from the files.

And the same GOP goons who once demanded answers about Epstein? They’re now out here talking about gas prices and tranquilizers and whatever the hell “Queen for a Day” immunity means to them this week.

The real tell? Rogan flipped. The narrative’s slipping.

The bad news? It’s ugly.

The good news? That ugliness is coming to the surface.

Stay locked in, folks. You’re not watching a campaign. You’re watching a slow-motion indictment of an entire era.

Xplisset; you got it, clear as day!

JP MEYER's avatar

Good morning. may we have some good news today. wouldn't that be a nice change?

Xplisset's avatar

Bingo, JP. I came in here praying for kittens or cake and instead I got Trump in a golf cart mumbling about Epstein stealing his staff and waving flies off like he’s fighting demons only he can see.

But weirdly that is the good news. Because it means the dam is cracking. Rogan flipped. The British PM looked like he was watching an alien language unfold. And Trump who once made grown men whimper for a retweet….is now reduced to ranting about tranquilizers and “Queen for a Day” immunity like a villain in a Netflix show nobody finished.

I’ve been offline 24 hours (which is a century in this timeline), but trust I’m catching up quick. The MAGA civil war is here, the Epstein files are the match, and the GOP is playing musical chairs on a sinking ship. Let’s see which one of these motherf******* is still standing when the music stops.

Jo Burns's avatar

He's just a little unwell! My stars! Did you see his rambling on nonsensical news conference? How embarrassing for the US. I do not want another newscaster or pundit speak one more word regarding president Biden's health or mental capacity. Knew when trump started thar crap during the election he was projecting. Now here we are.

Hi David, what trump said was “I never had the privilege to go to Epstein s island” please correct it. Thank you!

David's avatar

Good morning everyone, love you New York!

Andy Brownlee's avatar

David, you got something wrong here. Trump didn't say he "had the privilege of turning down a trip to Epstein's island". That wouldn't even be bad. What he said was "I never had the privilege of going to his island." THAT'S why it's bad. All the best.

David's avatar

Going to be a good one, can't wait!

Ghislaine Maxwell will get her re-trial. It's all a set-up to stop the Epstein files. Trump scammed his own base.

KATHRYN LEMON's avatar

There Will Be a "Contract" out on Ghislaine...ps Someone Pushed Her Daddy to His Death ---while He was on His Yacht --- Ummmm ? Google "Robert Maxwell"

KATHRYN LEMON's avatar

Did I Mention ? Ghislaine's Father's (Robert Maxwell, Publishing Mogul) YACHT was Named

"LADY GHISLAINE" --- and Robert Maxwell, as Trump is with Ivanka, was In Love with His Daughter.

WVbluedot's avatar

My prediction is Maxwell isn’t going to name any names, I think to do so would trigger a flurry of lawsuits and could damage any future case that could be brought against these “clients”. I think her only purpose is to clear Trump in whatever way she legally can to potentially have a pardon or at the very least a lighter sentence. If this happens it will be a huge blow to the victims who already lost their justice on Epstein when he died by his own or someone else’s hands.
