How so, oh brain dead one?

Because Trump's Criminal Defense Lawyer/Attny Gen was, "specifically instructing Maxwell not to discuss a survivor whose account implicated the president." as he got her a sweet Condo at Club Fed?

1Nut has a conundrum... he got his lover from the LA Dog Pound, but now he doesn't know whether to bed him or BBQ him.

- All of the things that made America great in the 70s have been demolished for the sake of "shareholder value," leading to ever increasing stress, decreased sleep quality and loss of work/life balance.

Exactly.

- Congratulations on the move

Ditto. Best wishes for you and yours.

Gen Whiny Chiny Boy.

Their trustworthiness: Netanyahu's credibility with the Israeli public has been battered by his long-running corruption trial, his political tactics, his refusal to take responsibility for the failures that led to October 7 and accusations of duplicity in his handling of the Iran war.

Eisenkot is seen as a straight shooter, even among many of his opponents.
Zoom in: The failure to prevent the October 7 attacks spurred Eisenkot to challenge Netanyahu.

Eisenkot, who joined N'etanyahu's emergency cabinet shortly after the attacks, lost his son during the war. He later lost two of his nephews in the war.

Zoom out: Netanyahu has cultivated a vast network of donors, lobbyists and supporters in American power corridors for the past half-century. Bibi is a household name in America " for better and worse.

Eisenkot, on the other hand, is almost anonymous in Washington. Very few people know him personally, even within Jewish organizations.

==

"The numbers: Eisenkot is leading Netanyahu by 8 to 10 points in most pre-election polls.

While Netanyahu is toxic among at least half of the voters, polls show Eisenkot enjoys high likability across the board.

Netanyahu's efforts to publicly vilify him have been so far unsuccessful.

The big picture:

Eisenkot ran on a center-right platform. He did not make any sweeping foreign policy pronouncements and took pains to steer clear of any public positions that would allow Netanyahu to paint him as weak. Bibi tried to do it, anyway.

Eisenkot has expressed opposition to a Palestinian state under current conditions. He has committed to taking strong steps to crack down on Jewish terrorism against Palestinians in the West Bank.

He also pledged to end Hamas' control of Gaza within 18 months of taking office, either through diplomacy or military force.

Eisenkot supported the war against Iran and strikes on its nuclear facilities. But he opposed Netanyahu's attempt to use military power to force regime change, calling it unrealistic.

Eisenkot supports continuing economic pressure on Iran and building a regional alliance with the Arab world to curb Iranian influence."

How fortunate for you. Many children are successful, more are not and mostly because they haven't the opportunities or have had worse difficulties.

But hey, as long as your kids made it, every kid should make it and no kid should ever ha#25 ve a helping hand because of disease, discrimination, race, gender, or education possibilities... right, Billy Joe Bob?

The political figures I analogized to are popular modern liberals/progressives for their distinctive times.

That was the analogy, not whether someone died or not and should be made out as a Hero or not because of it; they are alike in that their political philosophy, not in their martyrdom.

Boomers did have the advantage of an economy stoked by the success of defeating Fascism around the world in WWII by the Greatest and the Silent Gens, who to their credit joined in street protests against the moneyed Elite in cities all over the country.

We also grew up with a simple seemingly idyllic lifestyle of fresh food and mostly safe neighborhoods and schools (per the 70's thread).

But we also grew up with the Cold War; visions of nuclear explosions on B&W tvs, school Atomic Bomb Drills; sitting in hallways with hands over heads during the Cold War, as if that would help! (see Dr. Strangelove, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, circa 1964).

The Korean War, the Vietnam War (aka 'Police Action'), and "I am NOT a Crook!" Richard Nixon's pre-Trump Election Rigging.

Heroes (we actually had heroes!) like JFK, MLK, RFK assassinated in the streets.

Which would be like seeing Obama and Bernie and AOC shot dead today.

Not to mention our own college kids murdered by nervous Natl Guards while protesting the War.

But we had other Heroes; Walter Cronkite and Bill Moyers who didn't give a flying F what politicians thought about them. John Glenn et al who braved the Final Frontier. (OK, and Star Trek, lol)

My first college English assignment was to write an essay on Modern Heroes, if there still were any. My subject was one of the survivors, Muhammad Ali, who was eventually offered a Deal to fight exhibitions for the troops if he'd only sign up. He gave up his best years to join, and lead, the Protest instead.

Unfortunately, it was the moneyed Elite who called the shots and elected Reagan, the Tea Party, Nutty Newty, and now Project25.

Of course, it's the whole Gen, who mostly opposed all that, who gets the blame now for what those same moneyed Elite are still doing now.... despite that most of the modern Gens also oppose them.

Well, except maybe in the last election, but many groups; Gens, racial groups, and even farmers and ranchers and truck drivers have now seen enough of these current Nixons their and Elitist backers.

"The report concludes that Trump and Paolo Zampolli, a former modeling agent and longtime friend of the president as well as a former senior Trump administration official, "may have been co-conspirators" in Epstein's sex trafficking ring in the 1990s.

The report also claims that Trump's Justice Department deliberately or prematurely shut down investigations into Trump-related allegations made by some Epstein survivors.

It also accuses Attorney General Todd Blanche of specifically instructing Maxwell not to discuss a survivor whose account implicated the president."

"House Democrats' report says DOJ covering up evidence of Trump's role in alleged Epstein abuse

"Donald Trump says he knew Jeffrey Epstein just like everybody in Palm Beach knew him.' Not exactly," House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., said in a statement.

::

"Evidence involving 11 women tells a completely different and far more damning story about their relationship and the abuse of young women and girls that took place in their network."

Based on survivor accounts, FBI records, documents released through the Epstein Files Transparency Act and interviews conducted by the committee's staff, the report alleges that Trump may have been a co-conspirator in Epstein's alleged trafficking and abuse of young women in the 1990s, along with Paolo Zampolli, a former modeling agent who served as a U.S. special envoy for global partnerships until earlier this month.

The report cites FBI records that describe several young models having sexual relationships with Zampolli or connections to his modeling agency who said they were later sexually assaulted by Epstein.

Zampolli has said he represented Melania Knauss " now Melania Trump " and organized her first meeting with Trump, but the House Judiciary Committee report contradicts that claim, saying a former longtime Epstein associate told the FBI that Epstein made the introduction."

"According to the report, which cites multiple FBI reports included in the Epstein files, Zampolli arranged U.S. visas for young female models before they met Epstein.

One FBI report mentioned that Zampolli arranged an 18-year-old model's visa before she was recruited to give a massage at Epstein's house, where Epstein allegedly raped her.

Zampolli himself has also been accused of rape and sexual assault in a separate case brought by model Victoria Drake, who alleges in an ongoing civil lawsuit that Zampolli drugged and raped her in 2023."

"Judge Jesse Furman ordered that Comey, who is the daughter of former FBI director James Comey, be retroactively reinstated to her job as an assistant United States attorney in the Southern District of New York.

The judge also ordered that she receive back pay from July 16 through December 20, 2025, when he inferred that Comey accepted another job, in the ruling in U.S. District Court in Manhattan.

Furman, in his ruling for Maurene Comey in U.S. District Court in Manhattan, rejected the DOJ's arguments that then-Attorney General Pam Bondi could remove a federal prosecutor "at will" and without cause, and that current AG Todd Blanche could ratify that act after the fact.

Furman also rejected the DOJ's argument that even if the Civil Service Reform Act requires removal of a prosecutor for cause, an attorney general's firing of her constituted an implicit determination that she was removed "for such cause as will promote the efficiency of the service."

"The Court need not dwell long on Defendants' second statutory argument justifying
Comey's removal," Furman said, referring to that claim. "That is because the argument borders on frivolous."

The judge said the DOJ all but admitted that its argument that the attorney general had power to fire Comey under Article II of the Constitution sought "to overturn nearly two centuries of Supreme Court precedent."

"This Court, however, is bound to follow the Supreme Court's precedents unless and until the Supreme Court overturns them," Furman wrote."

"This song was written and sung by Dave Mason, rather than Steve Winwood who did most of the singing for the band. Interestingly, Dave said it was the first song he wrote and that it was like a nursery rhyme. He said he had not tried LSD at the time he wrote the song (many thought it was influenced by that drug)."
