Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

And tell the truth about something? He'll die first.

 

[wonko the sane?]

So two reasons to look forward to it? yes please!

Cause it'll happen. Maybe not the outright confession, but the angry, screaming frustration: totally. It's a symptom of most form of dementia.

Seems to me that already happens all the time. Seriously, if I started getting nickels for every headline that proclaims how "angry" 47 is about something, I'd have a lot of nickels.


And even more if we added "frustrated."

Good lord this violates so much.

Good lord this violates so much.

Par for the course.. Trump has been violating people WAY before he became president.

There are so many ways to read that.

I hate this timeline.

Worst part is I can guarantee almost all of the ways it can be read would be accurate

Mysterious ‘Orange Shape’ Raises More Questions About Epstein Footage

A CBS investigation claims officials may have misled the public about a series of details on Jeffrey Epstein’s final night alive.

www.thedailybeast.com

Conor McCourt, a retired NYPD sergeant and forensic video expert, told CBS News he disagrees with the conclusion reached by the DOJ’s Office of Inspector General.
“It’s more likely it’s a person in an [orange] uniform,” he said. More specifically, a person wearing an orange inmate jumpsuit. CBS reported that other forensics experts were also “skeptical” of the conclusion reached by federal investigators.

Trump says Epstein 'stole' young women from Mar-a-Lago spa, including Virginia Giuffre

President Donald Trump says Jeffrey Epstein “stole” young women who worked at Mar-a-Lago, including Virginia Giuffre, one of the disgraced financier's most well-known accusers.

apnews.com

I will not go so far as to pity Trump's publicists because a good person should not apply for that job, but you can imagine their frustration. How do you get this man to shut his mouth?

He tells a reporter that he stopped letting Epstein into Mar-A-Lago because he was poaching employees and when asked about a specific public Epstein accuser who had worked at Mar-a-Lago as a teenaged spa attendant, Trump remembers who she is (which is something he never seems to do when discussing anyone connected to trouble) and expresses upset that Epstein stole her. Her being a teenager who what? Carried towels? That job cannot be hard to fill and I don't know when I have seen a billionaire upset to lose a minimum wage teenage summer worker.

Yikes man. I want you to keep talking, actually. But...you should really shut up.

OK, who else read "mysterious orange shape" and immediately had the same thought I did? I don't even need to say what it was.

Will it be easier for her to get killed there?

Edit - Probably not, because so many of the citizens have guns?

I mean, fair interpretation: but vance absolutely NEEDS trumps cult to follow him. Even with the cult, vance will lose the subsequent election, but he needs them to acknowledge him as the next in line for the leadership of the magats. So the only thing he can do is try to be a trumpier trump than trump was.

He'll fail, cause he's vance and literally everyone in the world hates him.

Also he seems dead-set on pissing off all of Ohio, in particular. First it was Springfield, now Akron, Canton, and Columbus all in one go. Man, if there's one state you don't want to get on the bad side of if you want to become President...

In related news, Special Counsel Jack Smith, who had a criminal case building against Donald Trump in the run up to the 2024 election, is reportedly going to be investigated after Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas claimed his work interfered in the 2024 election and was politically motivated. Despite building felony level cases, Smith resigned just a week before Trump’s inauguration, with no charges ever filed.

Welp. RIP to the dangerous and subversive Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

5/ The Corporation for Public Broadcasting will shut down after Trump and Congress eliminated its federal funding. The $1.1 billion rescission signed into law last month removed the CPB’s entire budget for the next two years. Most of its roughly 100 employees will be laid off by Sept. 30, with a small team staying on through January to wind down operations. The closure ends CPB’s nearly 60-year role in funding local NPR and PBS stations, licensing music for classical and jazz radio, supporting emergency alerts in 25 states, and backing educational shows like Sesame Street. “Despite the extraordinary efforts of millions of Americans […] we now face the difficult reality of closing our operations,” CPB CEO Patricia Harrison said. Trump, meanwhile, called CPB “a biased, taxpayer-funded scam” and wrote, “REPUBLICANS HAVE TRIED DOING THIS FOR 40 YEARS, AND FAILED […] BUT NO MORE.” (Poynter / NPR / CNN / Axios / CBS News / NBC News / Politico / New York Times / Associated Press / Washington Post)
