Epstein is still alive the body the wheeled out of his cell had a different nose. It likely was never him but a patsy that had plastic surgery to look like him. His island had elaborate network of tunnels under it where child sacrifice was performed to extract adrenochrome. The island also had several nuclear missile silos which google earth blurred for him. John Mcafee was killed for flying his drones over the island to gather information about all this.

I absolutely hate you faggots for making me look up the source of the "Epstein client list".

It was his mexican butler who, I shit you not, tried to sell it to an undercover FBI agent and was thrown in prison for obstruction of justice where he died.
The source for the "international clique of pedophiles" was a woman who accused Trump of raping her when she was 13 and dropped her case right before the 2016 election, and a Yael Mellul who is a french women's rights activist who was quoted as saying "justice wasn't coming quick enough".

There was never a list you retarded faggots. You Alex Jones crying in his car motherfuckers got felted by a mexican, a DNC plant, and a frog.

The VP can not unilaterally recess the senate.

I mean he can set things in motion so Trump can use Article II Section 3 of the Constitution to force a recess the House and Senate.

he may, on extraordinary Occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them, and in Case of Disagreement between them, with Respect to the Time of Adjournment, he may adjourn them to such Time as he shall think proper;

The Senate needs to comply with Article I Section 5

Neither House, during the Session of Congress, shall, without the Consent of the other, adjourn for more than three days, nor to any other Place than that in which the two Houses shall be sitting.

So they do a lot of shenanigans so that they can be on break, but not "recess" while the House is in session. Instead, they perform "pro forma" sessions where one of the Senators bangs the gavel once every 3 days to open the Senate session, recognize their are no bills to vote on, and then ends the session. This works because the Senate operates on the assumption that a quorum is always present.

Now, this is where the Vice President can do something. Any time he is in the Senate chair, he can force a quorum call. Failing a quorum forces the Senate to adjourn for the day. So, if the VP shows up on a "pro forma" session day, and calls a quorum when there are no Senators in the capital, it would cause the Senate to adjourn for more than 3 days without the consent of the House. This is a disagreement with respect the the time of adjournment, allowing Trump to invoke Article II section 3 to recess the House & Senate.

When I say "Vance can recess the Senate," this is what I'm talking about.

One day someone out there is going to write a brilliant thesis on how in the 21st century the bottom 75-90% of society were so denuded of control over vital aspects of their own lives that it became almost "logical" that they would seek to find ways to police others few attempts to violate the norm as even though they reinforced the same oppression that the sought to admonish they at least could feel vindication in the socially praised system of infraction finding.

I wonder how much responsibility history will put on us for this I really do.

The only place Pam Bondi is qualified to actually govern in is Barbieland.

She'd do a stellar job there!

[Sweeter and Savoury]

as much as I hate to say it I can easily believe that the Jews did indeed convince Trump to hold back the Epstein files.

I'm very sure that those files would be very very useful to MOSAD for...things and if Trump just plopped them out into the public who knows how much damage that would do to just not Jew Interests but the world as a whole.

While I am still on the Trump Train I am disappointed. But I am also a realist, politics is the art of the possible after all and I'm sure that many many powerful people all around the world want this list kept quiet permanently.

Again I think the one thing that all the elites all over the world can agree on is that their child fucking parties needs to be kept quiet at any costs no matter which "side" your on.

Aren't those machines a million dollars and very tempermental

Yes.

That’s the Oxbo Commander tomato harvester. They destroy the entire plant during harvest, meaning unripe fruit are discarded. Tomatoes don’t ripen all at once, meaning you’re also wasting up to 40% of your potential crop (you can see this in the footage on the linked page, check out the green tomatoes that are simply discarded).

Additionally, although many strains of modern eating tomato are bred or modified to become reddish before fully ripening so they can be handled and packed without damage, the tomatoes harvested by that machine are not ‘eating’ tomatoes. They are ‘processing’ tomatoes intended for soups, sauces, ragus, pastes etc.

Running that machine for eating tomatoes, then dumping them four yards into a steel trailer where they get buried under two tons of other tomatoes, is not going to produce desirable fruit for your local food mart. Eating tomatoes need to be picked by hand because they are fragile, and a single field will need to be harvested at least three separate times, possibly more, depending on weather and yield.

Additionally, there is a lot more to harvesting than just picking the produce. There is washing, inspecting, sorting, grading, packing and loading, and they’re still a 98% human endeavor.

That’s just tomatoes. This idiotic ‘machines can do it all’ horseshit coming from middle class suburban folks who’ve never even smelled cow shit is incredibly aggravating.

Not everyone can afford them but the big farms fucking can, and their upkeep. Why are they using slaves?

See all of the above.

How anti-semitic of you. Now idk if Epstein actually worked for Mosad or not.

The best part is that they likely only did it to hurt the Trump administration rather than out of any sense of nobility.

There are definitely plenty of people on the inside who would relish the chance to stymie President Trump's efforts from within especially when it involves something that would shake up the status quo as politicians know it.

It might piss off some of the pothead NEETs in the thread, but it would be heaven on earth if they did that. I'm fucking tired of all the smoke shops and weed dispensaries on every single street corner nowadays.

My part of Kiwi Land is one where cities are allowing the maximum allowable number of pot shops to open ASAP. There are so many in close proximity to each other in the big cities and suburbs that the supply is too high and going rate had dropped like 30% in the past year - making it almost impossible for small operators to make a profit. When they can't stay open, their only options are to liquidate or hope a bigger operation absorbs them because pot shops can't file for bankruptcy due to marijuana still being illegal at the federal level. All this is notwithstanding the random pot smells that waft, linger, and smell worse than a dead skunk.

So whats the deal with the Big Beautiful Bill? i've seen people complaining about it but when asked they just go "it just bad because it is ok" without explaining anything.

I think most provisions are good. However, the bill has so much in it and is so complex that some groups that provide continuing education for tax pros have split the presentation of its provisions into separate sessions for individuals and businesses because there are so many changes. I would suspect the average person that thinks the bill is bad might stem from a misguided belief that it simply benefits the rich, or the bill is so complicated it can't be good.

Spoiler: Some example discussion...

One good provision is something that existed for 2020 and 2021 in response to COVID-related charitable contributions: A partial above-the-line limited deduction for charitable contributions. Back then, people who didn't have enough deductions to itemize on Schedule A could deduct $300 (single) or $600 (joint) in charitable contributions. I'm not sure what the figures are now nor do I know what limitations might exist off the top of my head, but this should help the average person who donates to charity but wouldn't have enough to itemize.

One gotcha that I read about today relates to gambling losses. Previously, taxpayers able to itemize on Schedule A could deduct gambling losses up to the amount won. Example: Someone winning $1000 at the casino could deduct up to $1000 in losses if they have enough deductions to use Schedule A. Now, gambling losses are limited to 90% of winnings -meaning that the same $1000 winner can only deduct up to $900 in losses if they're able to itemize. This means someone who can itemize and won $1000 but loses $901 or more will now report $100 of taxable income from gambling - even if they lost $1000 or more to have an overall loss. This becomes more significant with larger amounts of gambling winnings (winning $50k allows only $45k in deductions). A politician has already introduced a bill to restore losses to 100% of winnings, but I have no idea how that will play out - or what other changes might get proposed and/or passed between now and the start of the 2025 filing season.

At this rate, I'd rather we just use prisoners for this kinda thing instead of illegals.

Uh, what's that? Black people are disproportionately overrepresented in prisons? Well, that ain't "my" problem.

 

[IAmNotAlpharius]

Don't forget that MILFs are a thing. Dems have been pushing step mommy porn for well over a decade to groom the next crop of voters to support their mature female canadate. Unfortunately, both Clinton and Harris don't have that big milf energy that is required to get the gooner vote.

The clear answer of course is that republicans must have better milfs on the ballot.

She has access to Epstein's video collection of rich & famous people raping children, and refuses to release it to the public.

Some people hate Jews because they are jews
Some people hate Jews because they think they are white
And some people hate Jews because they are Jewish themselves .

He was probably working for multiple services. He has connections to Israel, Saudi's ,MI6 and the US. He probably even worked for private individuals too. Not to say this excuses Israeli crimes.
