If he was there without it he probably would have been killed.

He had no reason to be there at all, except to stir trouble and provoke violence. If he came to any harm, it would have been because his own actions. The best defense is to stay far away from trouble to begin with.

Rittenhouse had a new toy and he wanted to use it.

If those who chased him hadn't been there they'd still be alive.

IMO Rittenhouse was there because he wanted to kill people.

Kyle was attacked by violent people, who he in turn defended himself against.

If he hadn't been there carrying an AR style gun, nobody would have died.

'Sweep' isn't quite correct. School Boards in the two counties closest to me went more conservative. But the regressives around here tend to lag. Perhaps it will reverse here in another 5-10 years... probably too late to save the education of a generation. I'm really glad that I no longer have kids/grandkids in schools, locally.

I think it's possible that MTG got a threat from the top after she threatened to spill all the names on the House floor. She should probably stay away from upper floor windows and stairwells for awhile.

Short of a Russian military coup, who's going to do anything about it?

One psychopath will defend another....?

If there was nothing to it, why would 1000 FBI agents suddenly need to sift through it? Obviously the FBI had had them for years already.

AI Overview
In March 2025, approximately 1,000 FBI personnel were assigned to a rapid, two-week review of around 100,000 pages of Jeffrey Epstein-related documents. The agents, including many pulled from field work like combating violent crime, were reportedly instructed to "flag" any records that mentioned President Donald Trump.

Amazing how you'll believe that Trump wasn't there when an overwhelming amount of the evidence shows that Trump was Epsteins wingman for many years.

This survey from the American Communities Project is also interesting.

The sudden change of mind leads me to believe that they've finally had enough time to hide what ever they think needed to be hidden.

Let's get all the evidence out, and let the chips fall where they may.
I could care less about protecting Democrats or Republicans who may be mentioned.
What I want is justice for the victims.
Release the Epstein Files!

That has been expressed many times on this site. Those like OneNut seem to think we'll back off if Dems are implicated. We won't.

Prosecute them all!

What should happen is a fair and quick vetting system should be implemented and make it a high priority. Keep citizens and illegals safe.

There was bipartisan immigration reform an the table just last year... until Trump scuttled it. But it seems like "titanium dioxide" Christians have a selective memory.

-If you know anyone who is still a staunch Trump supporter, even after all this, I would keep them away from any kids this Thanksgiving.-

Fortunately, none of them have been invited to my house.

Sorry I didn't see this earlier.

I think ALL the unredacted files should be released. Let ALL the chips fall.

Why are you still defending it?

Trump has done practically nothing to help Ukraine, no doubt at Putin's bidding.

I'm old enough to remember when many companies trained their own workers, instead of counting on the government to do it. If there aren't people qualified to do these jobs, why aren't the companies helping to school the potential employees?

I don't think the main point of this is that it's cut and dry evidence that Trump molested this victim. This further points to the MUCH larger picture that Trump was familiar with the inner workings of Epstein's trafficking business.

I personally believe Trump is a sexual predator. He's already been convicted of such. More will eventually come to further light. But IMO, having knowledge of the things that were going on in Epstein's circle is just as disgusting, and also criminal. Those that defend Trump in any of this are still defending criminal behavior.

I fail to see where a fifty year mortgage is an improvement over simply paying rent. If people are going to pay almost nothing but interest, and accumulate practically no equity, they might as well just keep renting and let the landlords cover the property maintenance, taxes and insurance.

For most in younger generations the dream of property/home ownership is quickly dying.

To be clear, I think 8 Senate Dems caved on empty promises. But time will tell.

This vote DOES put Mike Johnson in a bit of a pickle. To reopen the government Johnson will have to call the house back into session to vote for something that ISN'T the Republican's so called "clean CR", and everything else that reopening the House implies... Like swearing in the Representative elect from AZ..

So, where will that other $400 billion come from?

His blind supporters won't understand that. Most of them don't even understand the difference between -million- and -billion-.

I don't think any foreign entities should allowed to purchase real estate in the US. Why just the Chinese?

Good luck with that.

With Trump controlling the SCOTUS? Good luck to CA.

What a great time for aviation in America.
