Why the Epstein Files matter

 OK so Trump's name is on the List.  According to the WSJ Bondi told him this some time ago.  A fairly common reaction I'm seeing though is why does it matter?  I'm seeing this at some conservative blogs I peruse from time to time like the Left is using this against Trump and that's all it is but the Democratic chef at work yesterday who hates Trump with a passion also said he's tired of hearing about Epstein and everyone knows he cheated so what does it matter?  There's some serious conflation going on here.  People are putting this on the same level as if Trump made numerous visits to the Playboy Mansion and played polo ponies with Hef and made business deals in the grotto.  Epstein/Maxwell involved sex trafficking of underage girls on a mass scale which by definition involves lack of consent.  It's like I remember some comedian I forget the name and he made fun of what he called Japanese creepy porn and said they look like they're not enjoying themselves.  So with Epstein we were not dealing with high-priced consenting escorts but very young girls probably under duress.


Tired of the Epstein Files?  You risk looking like a perv.  It matters.  The Left had nothing to do with it.  The deification of Trump is weird and cultlike.  We like to deal with facts here.

Trump promises to flood the zone in NYC with ICE

 Just what we need more drama and social unrest courtesy of Hardass Homan and it's gonna get hot too.  It's amazing that they got rid of all the criminal aliens already.  The worst of the worst all gone.  Geeez that was quick!  Now they can focus on the regular aliens.  Mexicans with string trimmers, taco stands, fence installers, gardeners and landscapers, hotel and restaurant workers, construction sites.  Who knows where they'll be sent to.  Some Aleutian island?  BTW what's a Cuban person gonna do in Africa?  Wondering who does the Homan Estate?

At this stage of the game if you still have Trump bumper stickers on your vehicle you're a cultist

 I know at least two people like this.  One at my workplace and the other one a neighbor.  After only a few months into Trump's second term any reasonable person left right or middle would have concerns.  I get the denialism up to a point but something has to give.  Trump sending illegals to places other than their home countries how is this even legal?  Trump now suing the WSJ over its factual reporting on his long-standing friendship with Jeffrey Epstein he's trying to chill a free press and the list goes on.  I'm not big on political bumper stickers but sometimes there comes a time you have to scrape them off.  The Trump cult scene at this point it kind of has the feel of the acid scene in the cemetery in Easy Rider.  I just long for the days when we can get a mature adult of whatever political persuasion in the WH again.  You ever notice Rubio's face?  Every once in a while you get that WTF's going on look.

Chronic moral insufficiency

 Homan bankrupting small farmers in CA through the ongoing ICE raids.  The majority of the field workforce gone in many cases.  The migrant farm workers have either been arrested or are afraid to report to work.  Skilled laborers.  Fruit rotting on the vines.  You I'll be paying more for produce in the near future.  Agriculture Sec'y promises automation and putting Medicaid workers to work in the fields or something like that it's confusing.  As ICE is obviously afraid to go after the criminal aliens we might soon be left with some sort of imbalance.  After Homan's work is finally done they might be the only ones left after all the hard-working law-abiding ones have been deported.  Hannity and Charlie Kirk will be able to afford a bag of cherries.  You won't. 


Welcome to Trump's dystopia.

Trump wants DOJ to reveal what Epstein had for breakfast

 Always skirting the issue.  He has asked Pam Bondi to release the grand jury transcripts in the Jeffrey Epstein case even though nobody asked for that.  The Guardian reports that Trump and Epstein were BFFs for 15 years and the WSJ says Trump once sent him a racy card for his birthday.  Other than that they were barely acquaintances.  Trump wants to sue the WSJ btw.  What else is new.


Don't cry for me Maurene Comey.  Daughter of former FBI head James Comey the DOJ has fired her as a federal prosecutor.  She did a half-assed job in the Diddy case.  Not gonna lose sleep.


Trump wants to re-open the legendary Alcatraz to the tune of $2 billion.  Where is the money gonna come from out of his ass?


The surreal Trump Administration continues......

Can Homan and Hannity be deported to Iceland?

 Homan is a scary dude.  Imagine going home and finding him in your closet.  The next Halloween mask?  So according to the Washington Post there's an internal ICE memo circulating to send some illegals to countries where they're not even citizens.  But doesn't this increase illegal immigration in those countries because they're not even citizens there?  So the cycle perpetuates itself.  Stupid me and my dictionary definitions I thought to deport someone meant to send them back to their home country from which they came.  The Homan game plan only complicates matters immeasurably.  Are atolls in the Pacific included?  Makes no sense.  I don't even think ICE goes after real criminals because they're afraid.  Leave that to real law enforcement.  Oh Trump and Noem will say they do but I think they're more comfortable harassing random undocumented people on farms and in the street.  Basically a rogue agency that Dr. Phil is in love with.  Bunch of amateurs who look like they were just hired walking around in neck gaiters in 95 degree weather surrounding and bothering people.


Any ideas where we can send Charlie Kirk?

The media is weirdly uninterested in Jeffrey Epstein

 I get news updates on my devices of course and being a busy man I often just scan them.  A quick perusal however seems to show much of the MSM taking the position of the Trump Administration on the matter of the Jeffrey Epstein Files.  MAGA is in a major rift as you probably heard as what was promised was not delivered exactly.  The media is treating it all as just another fevered conspiracy theory from the Far Right but I would frame it somewhat differently.  Going forward are the customers or clients of a major sex trafficking ring now routinely to be let off the hook?  WHY?  Legit legal question.  Can't be that hard for the federal government to figure out who was in that customer base or at least some of the players.  Diddy too was recently brought to trial on running a sex trafficking ring as well.  He was pretty much acquitted on that but as a theoretical question why was no one else brought to trial just him?  Only the figureheads or alleged figureheads.  It's not the least bit conspiracy-minded to ask such questions.  The media like CNN is framing this as only MAGA cares.  It's time to stop controlling the narrative at the behest of the Trump Administration and just ask simple basic and logical questions.  That's all for today folks.

Trump wants to revoke Rosie O'Donnell's US citizenship

 Also during one of those ICE raids in CA in all the chaos some migrant farm worker fell to his death from a greenhouse roof.  Will Tom send his condolences?


I didn't vote for ANY of this.  To those who say you knew and we warned you no I didn't know Trump wanted to strip Rosie O'Donnell of her US citizenship.  It never came up.

Strawberry Fields Forever

 ICE agents continue to chase migrants through the fields of farms in CA.  Don't know if this causes cancer but the whole thing gives off a Monty Python/Benny Hill kind of vibe.  No reports of the raping of cattle but the thought occurred maybe ICE is afraid to go after the real criminals.  Better to go after some Tufts University Muslim woman who wrote an op-ed critical of Israel for the student newspaper.  Maybe Charlie Kirk can afford $40 for a head of lettuce.  I can't. 


Continuing fallout from the Jeffrey Epstein Non-Files.  The Justice Department would have you believe they were the Snapchat of sex trafficking.  Data just vanished after 10 seconds or so.  User profiles all gone.  Nada zilch zippo. Deputy Director of the FBI Dan Bongino is thinking of resigning and Kash Patel might join him.  Homan is still going strong however.  It's clear the man enjoys his work.


You can't make this shit up;)

Mass deportations, mass amnesty or mass amnesia?

 So I can't make heads or tails out of this now.  Conservative commentator Charlie Kirk says the push is on for Trump to pull a Reagan and grant amnesty to 25 million illegal aliens or whatever the number is.  Pressure from the business community.  Trump is working on the legislation now or else it's somewhere in the big beautiful bill.  The calculus is it would help the midterms which don't bode well for Republicans.  In MAGAville even such talk is considered A Bad Thing.  Meanwhile Homan continues to bother the livestock in CA.  Maybe Homan's real purpose is to create a shitshow thus the need for amnesty.  Is Trump at heart an ideologue or a pragmatist?  Will he betray MAGA?  All I know is that in 10, 15 years we won't remember a damn thing.

Trump doesn't grow beyond his base

 Bubble politics.  Might even be shrinking his base.  What is he just gonna chase immigrants his whole term?  Re the Epstein Files methinks he doth protest too much.  Red flags?

It's not a conspiracy theory it's just common sense

 Reading just now according to the FBI and DOJ there is no Jeffrey Epstein client list after all.  Does not exist.  Interesting.  A convicted sex trafficker with no johns or customers.  Not one name to be published not even some unknown millionaire.  How did Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell stay in business all those years running this criminal enterprise with no clients?  Trump Administration painting this as a conspiracy theory from the Right (turns on his own base when convenient) but it's not it's just logical.  No record keeping whatsoever?  I never engaged in wild speculation about who could be on the List just that I never heard of an organized criminal not keeping files of some sort.  Also why are they saying this now so late in the game but nothing of this sort was said at the beginning?  It's like they're bullshitting their way through.


Trump promised to drain the swamp.  He IS the swamp.  Perhaps the most corrupt Administration in history.

The DOGE cuts make no sense in light of the big beautiful bill just signed into law

 It's like all those federal workers lost their jobs for nothing.  No rhyme or reason.  It's a philosophical contradiction and politically incoherent.  It'd be like a household with a strict budget scrimping and saving and cutting barely able to pay the mortgage and property tax but then decides to subscribe to cable or satellite TV and add five new credit cards.  I know there are actually households like that.  Big difference is we don't have a government printing press.


Trumpism is not conservatism.  It's just a bunch of mad fantasies.  The weird Right is already selling Alligator Alcatraz merch.  Ron DeSantis is the creepy flavor of the month.  Hello big blue wave come next year.  Cults always fail in the end.

A busload of 'hos crossing state lines

 Diddy cleared of sex trafficking and racketeering but convicted of transportation of prostitutes.  Judge denied Diddy bail prior to sentencing.  Prosecutors now seeking about a 5 year sentence on the 'ho transportation.  Basically a show trial to what purpose?  Weak case.  Maybe Diddy can run for Mayor.

The ascendancy of the weird Right - it now IS the Right

 The latest examples being "Alligator Alcatraz" and those racist conservatives who want to deport NYC Mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani.  My friend has imbibed deeply of the Fox News propaganda.  For him Iran was on the verge, the very cusp of developing an intercontinental ballistic missile with a nuclear warhead to hit NYC.  For Mark Levin if you opposed Trump bombing Iran's nuclear facilities you're an unpatriotic American.  Levin gives off this vague creepy psycho vibe and said to MTG after their recent dust-up "you're on my radar."  Hmmmmm......Hannity is somewhat milder but his aging blockhead fills the screen as he constantly beats the drums for war in the Middle East or at least a bomb here and there.  The Senate now seems okay with Trump's giant sausage of a bill thus mortgaging our future and our children's future.  Musk continues to attack the bill and he is right for once.  At this rate the midterms may turn out to be a big blue tsunami.  The rise of Mamdani represents a left-wing populism not to be ignored.


It's all very depressing but this too shall pass.  Hopefully next time we'll get somebody better.

Holy shit Batman maybe we can deport Mamdani!

 Former and disgraced Governor of NYS Andrew Cuomo refuses to accept the fate of the politically damned.  Despite a healthy second place showing in the recent NYC Mayoralty Primary voting he lost to the Zohran.   The groper is very ambitious.  He now plans to run against Mamdani as an independent.  Mamdani has rocked the political establishment.   Conservative commentator Charlie Kirk thinks he's a terrorist and some Republicans want him stripped of his US citizenship and deported.  Could be Homan's next project.  Special assignment for Homan's Raiders.  Trump is looking into ways of disqualifying him for being a communist.  Sweet McCarthyism!  All for not being a Zionist.  For his part Cuomo is willing to serve on Benjamin Netanyahu's legal defense team before the ICC should it come to that.  You can't cancel Mamdani out though.  As even my rock-ribbed conservative friend says give the people what they want.


How best to describe Trump's second term?  Conservative Candace Owens who voted for Trump as did I recently told Piers Morgan Trump is "a chronic disappointment. "  That about fits.

MAGA MIGA and MAHA

 Sounds like a science fiction movie.  Pass the popcorn. 


Don't mess with the Zohran.  Former dishonored Governor of NYS Andrew Cuomo yesterday lost the Democratic NYC Mayoralty primary race to this guy Zohran Mamdani who I never heard of.  I'm guessing Cuomo has some kind of law background to fall back on or maybe his brother Chris can help.  Maybe he can become the custodian at an auto dealership or slice deli meats.  It appears a fair number of New Yorkers still wanted him as Mayor but that's it for the comeback groper.  Maybe he can run for Yonkers Sidewalk Commissioner.

Every president likes to use the military

 But Trump promised to be different so why throw rocks at a junkyard dog?  Trump campaigned as an anti-neocon non-interventionist America Firster.  Instead we get a saber-rattling Israel First foreign policy, impulsive interventionism.  Trump has claimed on his Truth Social overwhelming success in totally obliterating Iran's three nuclear facilities.  He has ignored the advice of his own Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard who recently testified before Congress that Iran was really not that close to developing an actual nuclear weapon.  She's probably on her way out.  Now we have to worry about a protracted conflict with Iran and possible terrorist reprisals.  Pakistan has just nominated Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize why I don't know.  Troubling times but kind of took Homan off the front pages.

Is ICE going rogue or is Trump bipolar?

 It's all so confusing.  Just the other day President Trump directed all ICE offices to NOT conduct workplace raids at agricultural sites, hotels and restaurants.   Now CNN reports ICE will continue doing just that.  Is Trump's whole term going to revolve around chasing down the illegals?  That's not feasible or practical or cost effective.   Now I go on YouTube and Homan is holding yet  another press briefing urging the aliens to go on the app and self-deport.  Get your affairs in order the stern one warns.  Nothing constructive.  You can't make this shit up.  How many illegals are buried in cemeteries?  Does he want to dig them up too and send them home?  What would Jesus do?  No immigration reform, no path to citizenship just paleo-conservatism at its most rabid.  Why do I get the impression ICE enjoys their work a little too much?  Do they need a shaving of Prozac?
