- accused at least six prior men of raping her

She never said that:

"However, the specific narrative that she "accused six prior men of raping her" is a misleading distortion of her account. In these publications, the six incidents detailed a range of misconduct rather than six separate accusations of rape."

"E. Jean Carroll still terrifies Trump

Justice Department efforts to rewrite history show #MeToo still matters

But Trump can't let it go, and he has tied the 82-year-old Carroll up in appeals courts, where he continues to make shameful and dishonest accusations against a woman he has already been held liable for defaming and assaulting.

He continues to insist she lied, even as he once veered very close to admitting he did it by falsely saying she enjoyed being assaulted.

Now the Justice Department, which has grown even more flagrantly corrupt under the leadership of acting Attorney General Todd Blanche " who served as Trump's private lawyer during both of Carroll's trials " has opened a criminal investigation into Carroll."

;;

"There's a strong chance this investigation will lead nowhere. Trump's Justice Department has already developed a reputation for bringing baseless, politicized cases that fall apart in court but still serve to appease the president's sadistic aspirations.

The logic is haywire: Not only is Trump reminding the public about E. Jean Carroll's accusations, the case could be as doomed as the recent phony charges the department has brought against former FBI director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James.

The reported investigation into Carroll is about more than the president's bottomless narcissism. It's part of a larger, ongoing backlash against the #MeToo movement."

aka starving and dying.

" In a Truth Social post on Friday morning, Trump laid out the main elements in the deal that he wants to emphasize and seemingly suggested he was about to accept it.

He stressed Iran must agree that "they will never have a Nuclear Weapon or Bomb."

He claimed the Hormuz Strait must be immediately open without tolls, for "unrestricted shipping traffic, in both directions." He noted Iran will complete "the immediate removal and/or detonation of any mines that are left" in the strait.

"Ships caught in the Strait due to our amazing and unprecedented Naval Blockade, which will now be lifted, may start the process of "heading home," Trump wrote."

"Between the lines: The MOU states that Iran will agree to negotiate on its nuclear program, but does not include specific concessions.

Fars claimed Trump is trying to "project a fabricated victory" and is "distorting" the MOU's text. The sources Fars quoted claimed that after the U.S. blockade is lifted, Iran will reopen the strait "according to arrangements it determines itself" and that could include "monitoring and inspection of ships, the provision of services, and security measures."

Fars also claimed Iran would receive "immediate payment of $12 billion" in frozen assets" and that no further negotiations would take place until the money was paid.

U.S. officials claim Iran would only receive frozen funds as part of a final nuclear deal.

Fars also said the MOU includes a ceasefire in Lebanon "in accordance with Hezbollah's position." U.S. officials said the deal would include a ceasefire in Lebanon."

- Since the Democrat members of the oligarchy don't want CU reversed it won't be.

"While a large majority of ultra-wealthy megadonors and billionaires do back the Republican Party, the broader American oligarchy encompasses wealthy individuals who fund both major political parties.

Data indicates a partisan split among the richest Americans

Republican-leaning billionaires: Historically and in recent election cycles, the majority of the top 100 wealthiest Americans who actively engage in federal campaign spending have favored Republicans and conservative causes.

High-profile tech and business moguls like Elon Musk have become significant financial backers of the Republican party, advocating for deregulation and lower taxes on capital gains.

Traditional conservative donors like the Koch family network also play a prominent role in funding GOP-aligned candidates and policy groups"

Can James Talarico Truly Hope to Win in Texas?
- Trae Crowder (Liberal Redneck)

"Like I'm saying even by MAGA 2026 standards Kim Paxton sucks. So naturally he won the Republican primary in a landslide and now moves on to the general where he will face every godless lefty's favorite church boy, James Talarico.

Talarico seems to be that rare breed of Christian who tries to live in
a Christlike manner. He believes in things like empathy, unity, compassion, uplifting the downtrodden.

So, you can see why Christian conservatives think he's the devil and must be stopped."

Spare rib you?

I said, 'most Dems', and there are enough to pass legislation advancing campaign finance reformS, even if it would take most of the states to pass a Constitutional Ammendment.

The two Parties are bad in enough in being too much the same without exaggerating the problem; it's bad enough as it is, but there are definitely more Dems that will support Campaign Finance Reform than there are GOPhers.

And there's nowhere enough third party voters to change anything at all.

Shady JD hasn't been right about anything since he called DJT, "America's Hitler".

Democrats are also willing to eliminate CU and pass Campaign Finance Reform... most of them, anyway.

"Western armies, with their artillery and armoured vehicles, are out of date whereas "it is Ukraine that today has perhaps the most combat-ready army in Europe", wrote Oleg Dunda, a member of parliament for Ukraine, in The Spectator.

The US has more weaponry but Ukraine's army is unique in having adapted to the new, mostly electronic, unmanned systems that are the most successful elements of the Russian barrage.

A potential invasion of the Baltic states might not involve a single tank.

It will be unexpected: with communication blackouts, drone strikes on infrastructure and civilian convoys in uniform without identification marks," said Dunda.

"Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania may simply wake up as part of Russia. Without a single shot fired by Nato."

An invasion of the Baltics could happen at any time, including while Russia is still fighting in Ukraine.

Europe does not necessarily have much time to prepare but it is not necessary to spend 5% of GDP, as Nato chief Mark Rutte is pushing for, because drones cost a lot less than nuclear submarines and are more effective for the war ahead."

Well said, Lamp.

We should really Thank Trumpers for making us even more significant co-defendants in Israel's ongoing international criminal murders in Gaza.

"The primary obstacle to implementing UN Security Council sanctions is the United States' veto power.

As one of the five permanent members of the Security Council, the U.S. has a long history of vetoing draft resolutions critical of or seeking to penalize Israel, arguing that such measures are counterproductive to regional peace negotiations and disproportionate."

"Trump Calls in Ghislaine Maxwell for a Favor in $10B Lawsuit"

President Donald Trump is turning to convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell as he resurrects his lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal over an article about a lewd birthday letter bearing his signature sent to Jeffrey Epstein.

The president refiled his $10 billion lawsuit on Wednesday after a federal judge threw out his first lawsuit in April, finding he had not sufficiently alleged "actual malice," the legal threshold required in defamation suits involving public officials."
