There have been reports connecting the two since the 1980s, for a long time. This wedding was in 1993. Epstein and Trump parted ways by 2004. That's 11 years. This wedding adds nothing to lengthening the timeline.

I totally believe that Trump is indeed a pedo, a rapist, and guilty of multiple other felonies. And this ongoing scandal may yet be useful at swinging our government back a bit, to some semblance of sanity (probably not).

That said, I've been taking bets for years against the idea that Trump will ever spend a day in prison, after a conviction... for anything. For me to win my bet, Trump literally has to die without going to prison.

Any more takers?

It starts with ...what exactly do they have? photos of a wedding?
I can't account for the criminal behavior of the 500 people who attended my wedding 27 years ago.

I agree. This story isn't really a smoking gun for anything.

There was a person at my wedding, 40+ years ago, who is now in a Wyoming prison for life for killing a convenience store clerk.

Honestly, if corporations are NOT passing the full cost of tariffs through to consumers, I'd say they're proving to all of us that the inflation of the last few years was simply driven by greed. If they hold down prices as they pay tariffs, they're protecting Trumps policies instead of their shareholders.

While I believe Trump was deeply involved in what Epstein was selling, if anyone believes Trumps name will be on anything connected to the scandal that is released by his own Administration, I've got some swampland for sale...

Who TF would still want to immigrate to the US, besides those like racist Afrikaners?

Soon to be pardoned and hired as an ICE agent.

That's quite a dramatic exit! RIP Ozzy.

let me guess, you cheered when Luigi did what he did.

Luigi is a murderer. ...And so was Brian Thompson.

In his defense Luigi did bring some of the problems with the US healthcare system to everyone's attention. All Thompson did was deny care to help shareholders.

We have a corrupt, broken, expensive system. Most of the developed world has figured out how to improve healthcare for their citizens. The US system only helps to line the pockets of for-profit greed fkrs, while generally making actual healthcare inefficient and complicated.

The ACA did not make healthcare more affordable for most people, the Medicaid expansion did that. But the ACA was somewhat successful at making healthcare accessible for more people. Now thanks to MAGA and the Big BS Act, most gains that DID exist will be lost. And more people will needlessly go bankrupt and/or die. ...But I bet you're cheering for that.

the market reaction would be swift and brutal

I've stopped guessing what Trumps actions may do to the markets. The uncertainty is just to overwhelming.

I will say though... nothing could bring about violent revolution faster than destroying the retirement funds of millions of armed boomers and Gen X'rs. It's hard for me to imagine anything more dangerous to the government than a huge number of retirement aged folks who have nothing left to lose.

Putin knows that Trump just needs to be perceived as tough here at home. ----, it might even be Putin's idea. Vlad knows how to play a long game.

Oh Mike.... The President wants to see you...

It was pure intimidation. And it's only going to get worse, as the Big BS Act expands the size of ICE by 5 fold.

So you ___holes don't think illness is a reasonable excuse for postponing a flight?

I just got video of 3 of the 5 chief meteorologists in Dallas talking about flash floods.

You're right. This was more of a local level Republican failure than a Federal level Republican failure.

I don't think there's anything in the world that could change your support for __itler. You've must really enjoy having his mushroom up your ___.

They deserve everything they get.

You'll forget all about it in a few days.

If the Texas flooding had happened in a blue state, much of CONservative Christianity would have said it's God's will for their liberal sins. But it's crickets when it happens to Republicans.

That should be #5

Yes

Yes

Trouble is, most of the closures won't happen until 2027 and beyond.

The weather service has to accommodate all whether they use a cell phone and the Internet or not.

Onenut thinks since he has great phone/internet service in SF, so does everyone across the US.

Strategy for what? Since when does someone like you give a ---- about hurting anyone's feelings on an anonymous website? Frankly, I have no empathy for you MAGAts anymore. I'm just pushing back some of the same crap that you COnny clowns have been throwing for years.

Was all of that really the fault of the Presidents? Or did you just make a lot of ------ financial decisions over the years? I'd guess maybe both, but mostly the later.

Trump is making BIG bank, and we're not likely to ever have a fair election again. Other than to stroke his ego, why would Trump care about the polls?

BellRinger's whataboutism aside, tax exempt status should be stripped from ALL organized religion, no matter who they side with ideologically.

My point remains that they should be taxed just like the entertainment industry, or any other for-profit endeavor. If organized religion is genuinely doing any good works, they can write those expenses off against their revenues.

And just to be clear, I feel the same way about most large NFP's.
