Whatever it is, it's got Trump squirming like all that makeup coverup he's slathered on is giving him a fearful itch.

Tomasky's point bears repeating:

"This is about the rape of children. Hundreds or maybe thousands of them. Apparently, enough of MAGA world is repulsed enough by that fact that this is one time in the last decade when Trump's attempts to wave it all away as a Democrat hoax aren't cutting it."

Thanks

Appreciate the book tip.

Truly, Lincoln never ceases to amaze.

Morning..Lincoln for me remains one of history's truly intriguing characters. Politically astute, he knew there was a long game and he adhered to a moral compass. Imagine that!

Wow, a 2nd Amendment loon's wet dream realized!
Small price to pay for willfully misinterpreting the Constitution, eh?

MKUltra, twenty years (that we know about) of secret human subject experimentation.
Your tax dollars at work.

To ratify one country's rapacious takeover of another country's territory, terrorizing and murdering people?

Trump really is a disgusting puke.

Great, now Fat Boy Lardo will insist on parting the seas, "sometime within the next two weeks, maybe sooner, maybe later."

Enjoyed that, CORKY, thanks. It gave me a smile and reminded me a bit of my then-teenaged son many years ago asking, "Hey, Dad, you ever hear of a group called the Doors?"

Cocaine makes you do strange things.

The fundamental problem is US domestic demand, aided and abetted up and down the line by corruption on both sides of the border.
Staging a snatch operation in Cabo ain't gonna solve that.

In #1 "and likely a pardon becomes" should be "and a likely pardon becomes."

Poor Boaz, admitting that grasping the point this affects the entire US is a concept that lies beyond his ken.
How utterly humiliating.

Notice the administration's focus on protecting Trump's voluminous and evidently compromised buttocks. Not a word, nary a peep about the girls/children Epstein and Maxwell used and abused. What's Trump so afraid of (because he's clearly sheeting his 5X pantaloons over this)?

One thing,: the more victims speak out the more tawdry Trump's gifting to Maxwell of a berth at Club Fed and likely a pardon becomes.

Plenty of Horst Wessel wannabes out there.
Lots of them with presidential pardons.

"The right of the Jewish people to the land of Israel is eternal and indisputable ... therefore, Judea and Samaria will not be handed to any foreign administration; between the Sea and the Jordan there will only be Israeli sovereignty."
Likud Party Platform, 1977

Sounds like the US justification for its own acts of dispossession and ethnic cleansing: exceptionalism.
