America is not Russia and any comparisons risk going too far. But for those of us who reported there, Trump's Washington is bringing back memories of Putin's Moscow in the early days. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/26/u ...

We have known this to be true for years. MAGA is based upon violence and threats and the exploitation of cowardice.

All those years, including this one, of the GOP huffing and puffing and pretending to be brave men and women....

They all seem so ridiculous now. Just a stupid act that they will stupidly try to insist is who they really are.

Anyone that would send thugs to kill police officers will have no issue with sending thugs to kill spouses and children.

Felon47 is that person.

The "Epstein files" released yesterday apparently contained nothing.

Like others, I am not surprised.

Like others, I think that the actual Epstein files include information incriminating Donald Trump in sex crimes.

Like others, I think it much more likely that a corrupt Trump murdered Epstein in jail than that "perfect storm" of accidents that the corrupt AG Barr said was responsible.

How Donald's reign of terror will start in earnest will be a series of mysterious disappearances, followed by mock investigations by a corrupt DOJ that will never lead to any official conclusions.

We have all seen this script acted out before in other places.

Our pain is just starting.

There's a word for someone terrified by physical threats.
