"Vengeance is mine!" Sayeth the Orange Pedo Hitler.

Funny though, this farce won't werk any better as a Distraction than the Epstein Pedo Pimp Pardon will.

Whatever, LFT will continue to bend over for his Cult Leader, however far it takes.

One wonders though, where Jack Smith hired all those Dem Crisis Actors to pretend to be Trump's Staff who testified to his crimes under Oath.

Pedo Lover LeftHandTurds,

Trump and Elon sold Teslas on the front lawn of the White House.

No one cares about your BS to distract from being a party of Pedophiles.

You Pedos were crying even in cases where there was enough evidence and he was convicted.

And Smith would have been able to continue if you Pedo Lovers hadn't elected the Giant Orange Pedo Blob to office again.

A question that will go unanswered on this thread as it has around here for years now.

Truth is, Trumpers don' care that he is guilty... because politics. Party Over Country at it's finest.

You're an unfiltered idiot. The Biden DOJ had 4 years to prosecute Trump and put him away. It was all theatrics to sway an election. Why didn't Biden have the DOJ go after Trump for what was uncovered in the Epstein data? Why?? Because there was nothing. Lets pretend there was something incriminating and Biden didn't pursue, you're making yourself a bigger an even bigger idiot.

Kamala lost. It's over, and I hope anyone who meddled in this ------ goes to prison.

I'm not denying they retracted the original article.

I'm denying the reason why they retracted the article.

My reason why the kid was severely malnourished, hunger strike, is just as accurate, if not a little more humorous, than the claim it's due to cerebral palsy.

Regardless.

Just admit it. Whether all the Israelis kill all the Palestinians or all the Palestinians kill all all the Israelis.

You don't really care.

You don't know what I care about. I've been vocal about Israel for a long time. But NYT posting a lie isn't helping anything.
Personally I don't believe we ought to be running guns for Israel or Ukraine. We should have stepped in between Israel and the Palestinian people to ensure that terrorists were removed without causing carnage to the majority of people just for collateral damage and shock & awe as more or less a humanitarian effort. I don't get to make these rules so it really doesn't matter what I think. As far as Israel goes, there just another foreign country to me, same as Iran and Ukraine. But I do not like the idea that Israel is allowed to meddle in our elections and call on our favor when they need bunker buster bombs used on their nighbor. I'm also aware that what started this last shttshow is the fact that Israel bombed the Iranian embassy in Damascus - and it was clearly labeled - unlike the propaganda later fabricated.

Not sure what happened there.

In any case, 31 July is not today.

Also, I wasn't pushing their narrative because it was pointed out to be more than poor nutrition and I acknowledged it and stated why it wasn't particularly relevant.

But s(*&bags like you thrive on details and minutia when it allows you to support objectively false narratives based on emotion, bitterness, rage and stupidity.

Which, in case you don't know it, is the basis of nearly all your views.

The point still stands. Nothing prevents that child being removed from that situation for proper care other than a lack of will to do so.

Mr Smith is a name Pres Trump seems to be targeting of late.

But, as you note, there was a significant amount of testimony in the matter from people on Pres Trump's staff.

How did SC Durham's investigation turn out?

That aside, for a SC investigation to be started, there should be some evidence to justify the SC investigation. Has Pres trump presented that evidence yet?

Yeah, this is looking more and more like yet another lame deflection attempt by the Trump admin.

Ex-Trump prosecutor Jack Smith faces investigation by independent political watchdog
apnews.com

... An independent watchdog agency responsible for enforcing a law against partisan political activity by federal employees has opened an investigation into Jack Smith, the Justice Department special counsel who brought two criminal cases against then-candidate Donald Trump before his election to the White House last year.

The Office of Special Counsel confirmed Saturday that it was investigating Smith on allegations he engaged in political activity through his inquiries into Trump. Smith was named special counsel by then-Attorney General Merrick Garland in November 2022 and his special counsel title is entirely distinct from the agency now investigating him. The office has no criminal enforcement power but does have the authority to impose fines and other sanctions for violations.

It was not clear what basis exists to contend that Smith's investigations were political in nature or that he violated the Hatch Act, a federal law that bans certain public officials from engaging in political activity. Sen. Tom Cotton, an Arkansas Republican, had earlier this week encouraged the office to scrutinize Smith's activities and had alleged that his conduct was designed to help then-President Joe Biden and his vice president Kamala Harris, both Democrats. ...

This is about the Spanish Civil War, and the idealism of people from around the world who volunteered to be part of the International Brigade fighting Franco's fascist army ...

[Verse 1]
The future teaches you to be alone
The present to be afraid and cold
So if I can shoot rabbits
Then I can shoot fascists
Bullets for your brain today
But we'll forget it all again
Monuments put from pen to paper
Turns me into a gutless wonder

[Chorus]
And if you tolerate this, then your children will be next
And if you tolerate this, then your children will be next
Will be next, will be next, will be next

There is also the fact that no specific evidence-based accusations against Mr Smith have been filed.

So, that aspect makes this "investigation" look more and more as a deflection attempt by the Trump admin.
