Imagine how difficult it would be to edit the movie "Goodfellas" to redact/remove all references to Henry Hill. Imagine how long it would take to cut out a central character like that.

Now you understand why it's taking so long for Trump's administration to release the Epstein files.

Trump supporters don't really understand how he's going to help them, but they know he's hurting other people, so they figure that as long as he's hurting other people, this will eventually help them.

I'm serious: this is how they think. They think the economy is like a pile of money on the table, and everyone is trying to grab some. Therefore, they reason that the way to ensure they get a bigger share is to knock out all the competition. But it doesn't occur to them that the competition is also helping to grow that pile, so knocking out the competition might not have the effect they think it will.

It never occurred to Trump that his (largely successful) second-term plan to take complete control of "the deep state" would turn many of his anti-government supporters against him, because he no longer has the ability to deflect criticism of his government by pointing his followers to "the deep state".

Imagine a guy promising to mow your lawn, but instead of moving it, he douses it in gasoline and then sets it on fire, burning the lawn and your entire house to the ground.

Now imagine him saying that he did a great job mowing your lawn, and in fact, he mowed the lawn at levels never seen before. And a large audience of his supporters starts wildly clapping and cheering because he did such a fantastic job.

That's what it's like to watch Trump in action.

If you want to imagine what's going on inside Trump's head when he's stupidly rambling on about something he obviously doesn't understand, try to imagine that you've just been asked a question about helicopter safety, but you don't know what a helicopter is.

Seriously, you've never seen one, you don't know how they work, you're not even sure what they do, but now you're about to confidently talk about helicopter safety on live TV because you are so unbelievably egotistical that you figure you can just make something up and it will probably be correct. And while you're at it, you'll get in a dig against someone you don't like.

That's what's going on in Trump's head when he's going on some bizarre idiotic rant about windmills or economics or drug prices, etc.

Trump plan to end free elections in 2026 and 2028 revealed

NEW YORK—The Trump administration and its radical right foot-soldiers in the federal government and in the states are undertaking a comprehensive scheme to undermine future state and federal elections, in effect rigging the rolls to keep themselves in power no matter what the voters decide.

www.peoplesworld.org

“Why do we conclude this represents a concerted strategy? Among other things, President Trump tried to do this before,” the Brennan Center points out. “He was the first president to try to overturn the results of a presidential election and used federal power to do so.

“This campaign to undermine elections runs afoul of the U.S. Constitution. Only Congress and the states can set election rules. The executive branch, especially the Department of Justice (DOJ), is charged with enforcing federal laws. But neither the president nor the DOJ has the authority to set rules governing elections or to supervise” state elections procedures.


Yet Trump is trying just that. And, as CREW and the Brennan Center point out, the misnamed SAVE Act, a key goal of the House’s ruling right-wing Republicans, would aid and abet that campaign. Other specifics include:

• Attempting to impose a “Show Your Papers” requirement on voters.

Trump, in a March 25 executive order, and the GOP congressional majority, in the SAVE Act, say doing so would prevent “voter fraud,” which even Trump’s last Attorney General in his first term, Bill Barr, called non-existent. But “show your papers” mandates, using a citizenship document to even register to vote, “would undermine voting and disrupt election administration in multiple respects.”


Estimates are that the mandate, the SAVE Act, or both, would disenfranchise at least 21 million voters nationwide. Most of them would be women, whose names on their initial voter registrations are different from the name they now use.

"Maybe playing our Greatest Hits will get their minds off Epstein."

What's SUPER weird about this is that bringing stuff like this to light through indictments is what her job IS. And she is congratulating someone else for asking her to work on it...
