What We Know

These are some things we know, as we pull into the end of 2025:

This administration will never release anything in the Epstein files that implicates TFG or anyone else who currently has his favor.

He’s had a team of FBI agents scrubbing the files like they’re a team of Cinderellas, to remove incriminating evidence, or destroying that which can’t be redacted.

Anything incriminating those in power now will have to come from the Epstein estate or a leak from the FBI, DOJ, or Congress. TFG and his handlers will never provide ammunition for criticism, let alone legal pursuit. They won’t even release unflattering economic reports.

The administration’s stance on the Epstein files has changed positions like a yo-yo.

Positions they have taken:

·         Campaign promise of releasing all Epstein files.

·         Releasing the Epstein files (already public information to hand-picked Congress people).

·         The list of clients is on Bondi’s desk.

·         There is no list.

·         The files contain no actionable evidence.

·         The files are a hoax perpetrated by the Democrats.

·         Directing the DOJ to pursue evidence in the files that incriminate Democrats.

·         And now, “releasing all the files.” After redaction, of course.

All the evidence in the world won’t matter to the MAGA nutters and the rich who prop up the whole regime.

The meme is satire, but that doesn’t mean it’s not true.

Face it, there is always an alibi from the right to convince you to believe their lies over what you can clearly see with your own eyes. There is no level of proof that will convince the true believer.

I mean, there is sworn testimony from over 100 Epstein victims, naming people, places, and dates. And yet, everyone is still clamoring for more evidence.

Politics is getting uglier by the day, but it’s solvable.

The media still tries to “both-sides” this, but it’s not even close. Find me something as outrageous and obscene as this excrement (above) put forth by the US Press Secretary. Note: If it’s true, it doesn’t count.

Only one side uses death threats as Business as Usual. Just ask MTG. All she had to do was disavow TFG, and his minions obediently flooded her office with threats against her and her family. Not that I feel sorry for her. She was fine with all the modern GOP social warfare until it was turned on her. FAFO, lady.

Republicans are trying to kill us. I don’t know why, or what their game plan is, but this is the latest offense:

Stack this up with devaluing and deemphasizing vaccinations, destruction of the CDC, dissolving FEMA, removing higher mileage standards (and generally pretending that climate change doesn’t exist), and one can only conclude that the Powers That Be don’t care if American citizens live or die, as long as they still get their tax cuts. Maybe they figure that the fewer of us there are out here clamoring for government services, the less the resistance when they cut them all.

If another disease is unleashed on the country, like COVID was, I don’t know how they don’t see that infections come for rich and poor alike. Maybe there’s a special Republican newsletter that goes out to the big donors that says, “Hey, forget about what we’re saying about vaccinations. Keep getting vaccinated. And we have a special stash of the latest medicines for our friends.” They probably keep the stash in the underground lair they’re building under Branson, MO, for use when the coastal areas start washing away.

There is no principle that Republicans support that they won’t turn on a dime and take the other side when it’s convenient. For example:

Republicans sued to defend Texas’s right to gerrymander in any way they see fit, and won, thanks to SCOTUS' blatant disregard of the Constitution and previous rulings. Yet they are actively pursuing a suit against California for doing the same thing in response to Texas.

Note that California’s efforts to redistrict were the only ones that were supported by popular vote. Indiana, for example, is pursuing mid-term redistricting in spite of a popular vote against it. Some of these things are most definitely not like the other.

Lastly, Dogs don’t care about any of this nonsense; they only care about where they’re getting their next bite of food and when.

The family dogs at Thanksgiving, not caring about politics.
