It's funny watching the Epstein thing backfire on the Democrats. They didn't give enough of a shit about the list in 2016. When they thought they could dunk on Trump, suddenly they care. Trump ended his relationship with Epstein in 1997. Epstein didn't get his island until 1998. All those flights he went with him on were all short flights within the country. Nothing's adding up. They're panicking now because it looks like more and more Democrats are implicated in this thing than initially thought, and now they've suddenly shut the fuck up about Epstein.
 
Right but the Plaskett move failed last night, so the Dems dropped it. Mace is a Republican (and she's running for Governor anyway so she figures she doesn't have much to lose, I guess), so she's pulling a Keyser Söze on her own side. Which, I hope, will motivate the other Rs to bring a new censure resolution against Plaskett because that bitch needs to be removed from her committees, especially Intelligence.
The big question here is why does a fake ass non voting member of the legislature get committee assignments? Like no, the Virgin Islands don’t get to change the 100 vote senate, so she’s just a figurehead for some lame post colonial appeasement

Where’s the Puerto Rico senator?

I just realized I don’t even know if she’s a rep or senator

They literally asked him if he had any blackmail material.
Aren't there emails with him making demands and them complying too?

Demos were collaborating with a pedophile racketeer.
 
Why do you think airlines try to pack as many passengers into a flight like sardines, feed them nothing, make them use the bathroom in a broom closet, and have retarded foreigners scream at you in broken English when they overbook their flight and bump you?
I always figured because they effectively have monopolies as starting new airlines is prohibitively expensive so if you don't like it then fuck you.
 
(please forgive the power metal references but it is the first thing that comes to mind because my favorites are from brazil and i've always wondered what race statistics would call them)

I know this is a big lefty talking point (or at least it was before they decided categorizing people as white or not was of the upmost importance) but south Americans really are a gradient, and if there's one thing leftist "researches" love to do it's abuse gradients to paint whatever narrative they want to support. It wouldn't surprise me if the "less than half of americans under 30 are white" statistic includes a lot of the above as "100% totally not an icky white chud who fled brazil because it's becoming south africa" because it pushes their demoralization narrative. It would also help explain the number of hispanics who pulled for trump.

Basically the entire thing is a mess and a lot less clear cut than with the other immigrant groups.
Hispanics are splitting into White(enough) / Brown and Black.
I bet the ones that vote for Trump are in the first category and speak English as primary language.
 
Yeah, apparently Trump is all over the Epstein files because those fuckers had it out for him for years, even before he was President.
I even believe that a lot of what is in there (that hasn't been shown yet) could be "supplemental material" that was tactically added by the glowfags from 2016-19 and then by the truckload by the Biden admin.

The problem President Trump has, is that by over-delegating and then refusing too force the issue during the first term, he placed himself in a "put up or be assumed implicated" situation. He is still operating on the Boomer-ass viewpoint that the FBI and CIA must be respected and are actually valuable and are worth saving (or are even salvageable) and that the coin clippers genuinely are Our Greatest Allies.

He REALLY needs to be listening to the 34-44 year old members of the Cabinet on this shit, but he doesn't seem to be.

Who cares if it makes them look bad if nothings done about it? This will just be another point for Republicans to jerk themselves off over for being morally superior while doing nothing about it.

It's going to be hilarious watching the media memoryhole this (again) and it ends up reverting to how the media handled Jeffrey Epstein in the Biden years – as in, downplaying, denying it, referring to it as a QAnon conspiracy theory [sic], and canceling people for making jokes about his "suicide".

Given their thoroughly documented proclivity toward violence, when mentally ill shitlibs ram their transexuality down other people’s throats, there is an implicit threat. Sometimes the threat is more explicit — even among schoolteachers.

WSET reports from Danville, Virginia:
1763579673891.png
A George Washington High School teacher has been placed on leave after [he] reposted a photo on [his] Instagram story.

The photo shows a silhouette of a man with a rainbow gun pointed at the back of his head, with the caption “put the pronouns back in the email”.

Speaking of pronouns, the media once again lies to our faces by using the wrong ones to advance the LGBT agenda. These have been corrected here for clarity.

ABC13 identified the teacher as Dr. Sabrina Kent Morris, who teaches History and Government, and according to [his] About Me page on the school’s website, it states that [he] is a part of the LGBTQ+ community.

Libs of TikTok risked tranny wrath by reporting without the phony pronouns: https://xcancel.com/libsoftiktok/status/1986123962418450627

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has been purging the military of this sickness. Schools need a purge still more urgently.

That's this administration's M.O. when it comes to all domestic affairs. They huff and they puff and they don't do shit. More interested in defense agreements with Saudi Arabia and achieving peace in fucking Burma or whatever.

That is part of it as well. People have attempted to dump money into a nicer airline, but they don't get a lot of business because it's so expensive. Most people are going to take the cheap ticket with a shitty seat to get from point A to point B.

I already said I would if there's even a single arrest made that comes from the Epstein files. For jow I remain suitless, and from ehat it looks like I will remain so.

Exactly. Go save fucking Nigeria or whatever while this country literally burns to the ground. If this country cared a percentage as much as they cared about foreign investments or 'elite himan capital' from India this country would be perfect.

Not that it's worked this way for a hundred years, but the House represents the citizens' interests and the Senate is supposed to the states'. By default she's a House rep.

Not only did Anchorage School District refuse to endorse the American Constitution and Declaration of Independence but took pains to sticker an “Anchorage School District does not endorse the materials or viewpoints expressed in them” disclaimer on the documents.

Reveals an Alaska parent:
Today my daughter brought home a pamphlet with the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution. On the back was a sticker saying that the Anchorage School District “does not endorse the materials or viewpoints expressed in them.”

Given how thoroughly education has been subverted by neolibs, you can imagine what materials educrats do endorse.

All our territories (the ones with people anyway) like PR, Guam, etc. have a non-voting representative in the House, but even though they can't vote they can introduce legislation, serve on committees, etc. because their people are Americans (with some exceptions I think for American Samoa, they don't like birthright citizenship or some shit). They can speak on the House floor, basically represent their territory's people (who are Americans) in all ways except voting on legislation. So they still have power and influence in the legislature. (They don't get Senators.)

We’re doing pretty good for being six plus months in on a trade war with China

If he takes his eyes off THAT ball, then things will start to really suck.

Me, I’m just going to enjoy my sub $3.00/dozen eggs and save my agression for the sinoids

Edit: for you guys explaining how brown territories are represented, thanks, it makes sense. I still disagree with them serving on committees because of the wildly more focused actual power in committee assignments
