@mike59ny.Bsky.social. Pls see my comments to splr Mike Johnson. Our country will not be able to last this administrations' term because it is being destroyed!
Maybe Vance doesn't know this history because it's in one of the books his administration banned.
The difference between Watergate and now is that back then, Republicans actually did something about a law-breaking president. Today, they only roll over for their cult leader.
Let us remember that we are the living presence of the Lord in the world. Enkindled by the charity of Christ's Heart, let us bear witness to His mercy and peace, so that wars may cease in the world and a new humanity may rise up around us, reconciled in love. #ApostolicJourney
BREAKING: HORRIFYING! Epstein bombshell reveals that Trump allegedly had a "predilection for nipples" and abused one of the victims by "aggressively" flicking and sucking on them.
And it gets so much worse...
“They looked incredibly painful as they were red and swollen and I remember wincing when I looked at them,” Epstein victim Sarah Ransome wrote in an email to a journalist, referring to a victim named Jen who Trump allegedly preyed on.
Ransome claimed that Jen — who was a girl in Epstein’s sex-trafficking ring — had sex with Trump and he brutally abused her nipples. Ransome claimed to have seen the evidence firsthand on Jen's body.
The stomach-churning revelation was reported by Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan of the New York Times in reporting excerpted from their forthcoming book, “Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump.”
The reporters expose details of the private emergency meetings that Trump's inner circle held inside the White House to discuss damage control for their boss's worsening Epstein scandal. Some of them had "never heard of the nipple claim" when it was brought up, but others had a "passing familiarity with it."
One official said that it was "surreal" to be discussing nipples inside the White House Situation Room — the very same place where Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and Hillary Clinton oversaw the operation that killed Osama Bin Laden. Under Democrats, the room is used to keep Americans safe. Under Trump, it's used to keep us in the dark.
Ransome further claimed that she "possessed video footage of prominent men having sex with young girls in Epstein’s entourage." She later retracted the claims out of fear that she or her family might be harmed. Given the fact that there's a mountain of evidence suggesting that Epstein did not kill himself, she can hardly be blamed for her caution.
Try as they might, Republicans will not succeed at sweeping this scandal under the rug. The Epstein child-trafficking operation is the defining element of Trump's life. He can delay and obfuscate, but eventually Democrats will retake power and the floodgates will be opened wide. One of the first orders of business must be for the FBI to find Jen and interview her extensively. Then, the prosecutions can begin.
Please ❤️ and share to demand a full investigation when Democrats return to power!

You selfish bastard...
You're a racist. You're not a Knicks fan. We don't want you in New York. Don't you have a war to take care of? You couldn't go to your son's wedding but you come here to fu*k up our joy
Yesterday Donald Trump tripled the size of his personal political army inside the government. Illegally. And almost no one noticed.
Here's what happened:
He signed an order converting ~8,000 of the most senior career officials in government into employees he can fire for any reason, or no reason at all.
These aren't rando's. They're the directors, chiefs of staff, and the people who write the rules or decide who gets federal money, i.e. the lieutenants right below his political appointees.
Until yesterday, they answered to the law. Now they answer to him.
A president normally gets ~4,000 political appointees. People he can bring into government and fire at will. I was one of them at DHS. You serve at his pleasure, full stop -- so if you're gonna speak truth to power, you're prepared to quit (or get fired if he doesn't like it).
The rest of the federal government is PROTECTED from firing if they tell the truth.
But Trump just stripped those protections. Adding 8,000 more people to his personal army. Overnight. Without asking Congress.
With the stroke of a pen, those people now serve at the pleasure of the president. They're "his" people, whether they like it or not.
And the chilling effect is real. An official who can be fired this afternoon for "subversion of presidential directives" (the order's own words) doesn't need to be hand-picked to know what's expected of him or her.
The threat does all the work.
By the way, this order is illegal. The law only lets Trump reclassify jobs when "necessary" in exceptional circumstances. And this blows an 8,000-person hole in the merit hiring / firing system created by Congress.
Without permission, Trump has created a whole new category of stormtroopers inside the Executive Branch.
If this doesn't get challenged in court, you're going to see the U.S. government become a very different place.

BREAKING: A federal judge is now signaling the Trump administration’s so-called “weaponization fund” may have emerged from collusive litigation and could potentially amount to fraud on the court.
That is nuclear-level language from a judge.
“Fraud on the court” is not normal criticism.
It is reserved for situations where a court believes it may have been manipulated, misled, or used as part of a coordinated scheme.
And the judge reportedly pointed to two giant red flags:
- the massive $1.8 billion settlement amount
- and concerns the opposing sides may not have actually been acting as true adversaries
Translation?
The court is openly questioning whether this lawsuit was partially engineered to create a taxpayer-funded political compensation machine.
That is an absolutely extraordinary development.
