What has Trump done now?

The Queen once experienced an "Annus Horribullus" but the USA TRUMPED that. Nev

Trump's 18 year old grand daughter, Kai, just got a sponsor's invitation to play in an LPGA Golf Tournament in Florida. She shot nine bogeys and two double bogeys in her opening round to score 83, and finished in last place.

Many weekend golfers could relate to the reason she gave for her high score: "I hit a lot of good shots, just to the wrong spots."

Her golf cheating grandfather could learn a lesson or two from her honesty.

Looks like the Democrats need to grow some gonads:

 

Of course, it is only a few of the Democrats, apparently

I got a virus warning when I clicked on that link.

My anti-virus blocks dozens of links, but not this one.

The problem is, so many sleazy disinformation and fake sites don't trip a lot of AV programmes, because they don't contain malware or phishing links, they just peddle crap to get clicks and views, and suck in advertisers, so they can make money.

After calling the Epstein scandal a hoax and resisting releasing the Justice Dept files for weeks despite promising to do so before being elected, he decided last week to order the Department to investigate any links to Democrats and banks (in other words, he now wants to investigate a hoax).

Also last week, Democrats and a few Republicans in Congress forced a vote on ordering the release of the files, despite Trump's opposition.

In last few days it's become apparent to him that enough Republicans will support the proposal for it to pass, so he's just flipped and said the House should now vote to release the Epstein files because "we have nothing to hide".  That's ludicrous because if he really believed that, he has the authority to order the release himself, so there is no need for any vote.  If the vote does pass, and it gets through the Senate (probably unlikely), he will have to approve it. What's the bet that he would refuse to approve it? The guy's a complete moron.

At least if that does happen, it will be a big enough smelling rat that the MAGA will further split and eventually implode.

I suspect that he's mainly trying to protect some of his wealthy mates and supporters who would prefer that the files stay hidden. Trump's ballroom may suddenly be short of some funds if he gives in and releases the files.

Stories keep getting weirder and weirder. The latest doing the rounds on the internet is that Melania was Epstein's girlfriend, before she met Donald at Epstein's place, and their first s*x was on Epstein's plane.

Really?

In the big sceme of things, who cares 'who's up who and who's not paying rent'?

 

Their personal playground doesn't affect world politics.

 

There is plenty of other serious unconsciencable and unethical shyte going around to keep us amused.

Trump has used privacy laws to have his name reducted from the Epstein files that are going to be released. Up until his election as President for teh first time, Trump was a private citizen, according to Privacy laws. So, to protect the privacy of a private citizen, the FBI has applied the thick black pen wherever Trump's name appears in those files.

BREAKING: Speaker Mike Johnson reveals the REAL reason why Trump suddenly "supports" the release of the Epstein files — and it's as sinister as we suspected.
They really don't want us to see what's in those files...

"So what am I to do in a situation like this? I call my counterpart in the Senate, Leader Thune and I talked through this with him and shared our deep concerns and of course they share those concerns as well," Johnson said at a press conference.

"And so I'm very confident that when this moves forward in the process if and when it is processed in the Senate — which there is no certainty that that will be — that they will take the time methodically to do what we have not been allowed to do in the House," said Johnson. "To amend this discharge petition and to make sure that these protections are there. The authors of the discharge did not allow us to do that here, that's the rules here but in the Senate they can correct it."

Translation: Republicans are going to bury this bill in the Senate. Yesterday, Trump surprised many Americans by stating that he would sign the bill to release the Epstein files if it hits his desk. Now we know why. He doesn't expect it to ever reach him.
Johnson claims to be worried that an immediate release of the files will endanger the privacy and wellbeing of Epstein's victims. It's a shamelessly self-serving lie because many of the victims have long supported the release and have even held multiple press conferences demanding it.

During the presser, one reporter even pointed out to Johnson that the bill specifically states that "the Attorney General may withhold or redact portions related to child sex abuse materials" or anything that jeopardizes federal investigations. Johnson responded by insisting that such protections are not actually in the bill. This man is far too comfortable lying through his teeth. He clearly thinks that his constituents will never hold him accountable.

The simple, obvious truth here is that Johnson cares nothing for the victims. He's worried about protecting the leader of his political movement. If Trump goes down as a child predator, every prominent Republican who enabled him will be caught in the political blast radius.

Now that the plan is clear, the American public must speak out even more forcefully for transparency. Trump and Johnson were unable to kill the bill in the House because of the bipartisan demand from both the Democratic and Republican bases for the release. In the Senate, with its thinner margins, Republicans may have an easier time blocking the bill.

In the same press conference, Johnson doubled down on his transparently false complaints—
"Guys we're not making this up," he insisted. "And you can take it to your council at your outlets' offices and have them review it and they'll tell you the same thing. This should have been done in a much more careful matter and it was not."
"And I'm going to point out again when the authors were asked to fix it they said they weren't interested in doing that," said Johnson. "Why? Because this is a raw and obvious political exercise. Again, I'm just going to leave it with this question, you should go ask them all. If you were so concerned about the Epstein files and protecting the victims, why didn't you do a darn thing about it for the first years of the Biden administration? All this stuff was sitting in a warehouse and nobody said a word about it, they didn't care. Now, they're doing it. We all know why. Because they're trying to attack President Trump."

The bad faith on display here is staggering, even for a fake "Christian" like Johnson. The reason that the files weren't released during the Biden years was because doing so could have jeopardized the ongoing prosecution against Epstein's right-hand woman Ghislaine Maxwell. Now that she's been convicted and the appeals process exhausted, there is no downside to releasing the files.

At least Hitler admitted that he had served a prison term.

Should make it easy to find him. Just look for a five letter black line.
