Jake Tapper Warns Viewers As He Dives Into Trump Nipple' Abuse Claim From Bombshell Epstein Meeting
Maggie Haberman and co-author Jonathan Swan dropped an epic deep dive on Wednesday, based on their upcoming book Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump, that was chock-full of splashy revelations.
Those revelations included a stunning account of a Situation Room meeting on the release of the Epstein Files that veered into what the authors described as "the nipple materials."
"We're going to be attacking them very hard," Trump told reporters Wednesday from the Oval Office. read more
Worshipping the Wealthy has been the habit of the weak-minded from time in memorial; it's part and parcel to what's known in psychology as, the Halo Effect:
"a cognitive bias where our overall impression of a person, brand, or product unconsciously colors our judgment of their specific, unrelated traits.
this deference often overlooks the realities of how wealth is generated, inherited, or maintained, blinding observers to the systemic structures that enable extreme inequality."

In Musk's case, he wasn't particularly comparatively advantantaged at birth, but that says little about all those who were born on third base.... or the 'systemic structures' such as the ability to buy your own politicians and your own Laws and Tax Policies and obtain Gov Contracts.
He did learn something from being born white in S Africa... how to perform a really cool Nazi salute in front of really real Nazis.
You remember the definition of Fascism, don't you?
"Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology. It prioritizes the state and the "national community" over individual rights, and is typically characterized by a dictatorial leader, strict societal and economic regimentation, militarism, and the violent suppression of opposition.
Core Characteristics:
Economic Control: While private property is often maintained, major industries and labor forces are highly regimented by the state to serve national priorities (a form of corporatism)"

Democracies used to hate Fascism, if you recall, but now we have the Wealthy Elite doing in the US what they did in 1930's Germany; destroying democracy and replacing it with Rwing Thugs to do their dirty werk for them.
Thanks, Trumpers! (and most Republicans)
Trump is PAYING Iran to let him alone:
DUBAI/LONDON, June 12 (Reuters) - The United Arab Emirates has agreed to unlock billions of dollars for Iran, four sources said, in a tactical shift after weeks of Iranian attacks on the wealthy Gulf Arab state during the U.S.-Israeli war with the Islamic Republic.
Word of the move, which has not been previously reported, coincides with the final stages of broader negotiations between Tehran and Washington on ending the war, talks that diplomats say could involve the release of tens of billions of dollars in Iranian oil revenues frozen in foreign banks under U.S. sanctions.
Two regional sources told Reuters the UAE had agreed to release a total of $10 billion, more than $3 billion of which had already been delivered.
Two other sources with knowledge of the arrangement put the total funds involved at $20 billion, adding that the move had been agreed in return for a halt to Iranian attacks on the UAE.
One of the sources with knowledge of the arrangement also said a first tranche of $3 billion had already been made available."

It's SO hard to know where the stupid stops and the lying starts with Trumpers:
"Epstein case was an open investigation under Biden
The Epstein case was an open criminal investigation during the Biden administration, Miami Herald investigative reporter Julie K. Brown explained on social media.
Brown's extensive reporting since 2017 has shone a light on the crimes of Epstein and his longtime accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell. Her book about Epstein, titled "Perversions of Justice," is a New York Times bestseller.
"They had an open grand jury. ... And even after Maxwell's conviction, the case was on appeal " anyone in law enforcement knows you don't open your case file when it's still under appeal," Brown added.
Victims were still going to the FBI with information during Biden's term, but that changed when President Donald Trump's Department of Justice reviewed the files and closed the case in July, Brown said."
