I'm starting a new feature on my Twitter and Facebook feeds - a repository of common words that my age makes me forget, and the words I used at the time to get people (S/O, kids, coworkers) to tell me what that word is.
@marasmith7@iky_fwjett Explain to your wife that while she wants your son to love her and won't correct him out of fear of losing that love, you want your son to BE loved, & his behavior will likely mean that once she is gone, no one else will be able to tolerate your son and that will be hell for him
@Moonlight_myths I feel like if they're coming at you like this, any money you gave would be a waste anyway, since that girl learned nothing about responsibility.
Tell them you'll consider it after they/she has a couple semesters of college that they paid for. I bet you'd never have to pay out.
π¨LEAKED VIDEO: Weβve obtained secretly recorded video of Republican Chip Roy ADMITTING heβs trying to hide concerns his SAVE Act hurts women voters:
βIβm trying not to elevate the issueβ¦ my Chief of Staffβ¦ had to go through a bunch of hoopsβ¦ (and) go back to the DMV twice.
The footage was secretly recorded from a ZOOM meeting from February last year, featuring the βElection Integrity Networkβ - an organization founded by Cleta Mitchell, a 2020 Trump attorney who played a central role in efforts to overturn his loss.
Itβs a stunning admission - as Roy publicly claims the bill isnβt a barrier to women, while admitting IN PRIVATE the exact hurdles women face. π§΅
BREAKING: "You're a failed politician!" Pam Bondi freaks out on Republican Congressman Thomas Massie for demanding the identity of the person who carried out illegal redactions in the Epstein files.
This could not have gone any worse for Bondi...
"To my right is an email that was sent to the victims lawyers by the DOJ. It was a list of names [not to release]. What did the DOJ do with this email? They released this email in the document production! Literally the worst thing you could do to the survivors, you did and they're getting phone calls," Massie said during a hearing of the House Judiciary Committee. "A lot of these people didn't want to be known."
"And we know you touched the document because you redacted one name and you redacted the lawyer's name but you left the survivor's name there!" continued Massie.
"The next document I want to show you, it was in the title! The survivor's name!" he said, pointing out the document in question before indicating another. "The title of this one is 'Child sex trafficking.' Co-conspirators, fully redacted!"
"And by the way, we're going to unredact them here. Les Wexner is in this," said Massie, peeling away gray tape to reveal the billionaire in question. "Now your assistant dep, your deputy attorney general, said 'Oh well he appears hundreds of times in the files.' But he doesn't appear in this file until I forced you to release it! Where he's listed as a co-conspirator, not to tax evasion, but to child sex trafficking! Not to prostitution, not to money laundering, child sex trafficking!"
There is simply no benign explanation for these redactions. The Trump administration went out of its way to protect the identities of wealthy and powerful individuals because this is a White House that exists solely to serve the rich and well-connected. By shielding Epstein's co-conspirators, they're also hoping to insulate Trump, who is himself deeply implicated in the files.
"And then finally, what we have here is the third exhibit that I have is emblematic of the FD 302 release," Massie continued. "These are the documents that we need, that you're holding onto and over-redacting because they have the names of the men who are implicated. How do we know? Because the survivors gave testimony to the FBI and it's in there. And what happens when you go to the portal at the DOJ to look at what's behind this redaction? Another redaction!"
"So we can't even see them. And then there's some of these files you've pulled down from the website that we will never see because we can't search the redactions. So I have several questions for you..." said Massie.
"Who's responsible? Are you able to track who in your organization made this massive failure and released the victims' names?" Massie asked. "Are you able to track who it was that obscured Les Wexner's name as a co-conspirator in an FBI document? Do you have that kind of accountability?"
"I believe Wexner's name was listed more than four thousand times aboutβ" said Bondi.
"Yeah, I already told you that. This is where he's listed as a co-conspirator," shot back Massie.
"Can I finish my answer!?" screeched Bondi. "Come on! Let me finish my answer. We corrected that within forty minutes. He was alreadyβ You're acting like everybody's trying to cover up Wexner's nameβ
"Reclaiming my time," said Massie.
"I'm going to answer this question," whined Bondi.
"Reclaiming my time. Mr. Chairman?" said Massie.
"This isn't how this works!" insisted Bondi.
"Mr. Chairman? Can I have my time back? Mr. Chairman?" said Massie, visibly uninterested in Bondi's obfuscations.
"The gentlelady can give her answer. The time belongs to the gentleman," said Chairman Jim Jordan, a MAGA hack who's best known for ignoring rampant sexual abuse during his time as a wrestling coach at Ohio State University.
"All right, I'm reclaiming my time," said Massie. "So I'm going to put the language of the bill up on the screen..."
"Chairman, may I give my answer on that? This is a political joke, and I need to give my answer on that," interrupted Bondi, desperate to get her spin out.
"Let the attorney general respond, and then the gentleman can move to his next question," said Jordan.
"Chairman, it's my time," said Massie.
"Within forty minutesβ You asked me a question," said Bondi. "Within forty minutes, Wexner's name was added back."
"Within forty minutes of me catching you red-handed!" Massie said.
"Red-handed!?" said Bondi with an awkward laugh. "There was one redaction out of over 4,700β
"Where he's listed as a co-conspirator!" said Massie.
"...and we invited you in," continued Bondi. "This guy has Trump derangement syndrome! You're a failed politician."
At that point, it was clear that Bondi had run out of room to maneuver. Unable to defend the egregious behavior of her Justice Department, she resorted to cheap, pathetic insults. The only failure here is Pam Bondi, a woman who swore to defend the Constitution only to then devote herself to protecting wealthy pedophiles from the consequences of their actions.
Please β€οΈ and share to demand that Bondi be investigated!

If a judge orders you to release funds for hungry children and you continue to fight it, itβs time to take a step back and re-evaluate how you got there. No political leverage is worth corrupting your soul.
