Dear God - that link is a "must read"! It's becoming more and more like the plot of a John Le Carre book!
When you put it all together the way Senator Whitehouse did, it becomes apparent that the child abuse accusations in the Epstein file, appalling though they are, are the LEAST of trump's crimes. What the DOJ is hiding is not that trump is a sexual abuser but that he is a traitor and a Russian asset. It appears that, astonishingly, the child abuse is being used a cover for even worse crimes. Investigators are having trouble establishing proof of DJT's sex crimes and thus the DOJ is dismissing EVERYTHING in the files- but the evidence of his treachery is glaring.
Breathtaking that one small, stupid, greedy little man could be manipulated to cause such chaos to the entire world.
And the only people who could do anything about it are obviously a combination of cowardly, corrupt or compromised.
When this is over, if this IS ever over, some radical changes need to be made to the American political system to ensure it cannot happen again - and one of the first things to do is get the obscene amounts of money OUT of politics.
As I keep saying, we need a whole raft of Constitutional Amendments. We have to systematically fix all the place they used Project 2025 to breach The Constitution. IMHO we need to elevate DOJ and The Inspectors general to independent Branches of Government and give them the tools they need to hold a rogue Executive, Member of Congress, or Judge or Justice accountable and remove Them, if necessary, for trial. We also need to expand and charge SCOTUS with new mandates and some guardrails. We need to make corruption in high office the devastating scandal which it is and have adequate and unpleasant punishments.
Oh, yes! Please at least the effort of impeachment should begin for whatever is befalling America right now. Ugliest, stupidest president America has ever elected then endured.
I'm beseeching you now. Abandon trump for 100's of reasons. He isn't worthy of his two terms and surely doesn't merit an illegal third term which I strongly suspect he and henchmen will try to push through.
Thanks so much for posting. I was reminded, while watching this incredible, thorough, momentous speech, of something Nancy Pelosi once said, "All roads lead back to Putin."
Whitehouse did an amazing job outlining and laying out the facts, showing the corrupt and twisted connections, and emphasizing the enormity of this most outrageous cover up.
With the current "DOJ," which I put in quotation marks because they go out of their way to avoid real accountability and "justice," I'm trying to be somewhat optimistic that putting Whitehouse's brilliant account of events in the record will, someday, yield the right results and outcomes. While Trump is still president, it's a given that attempts to bury this will continue to be made, at all costs, and wars (and the like) will ensue to distract us at every turn, the closer and more persuasively this truth comes to light.
Perhaps he doesn't know the meaning of obliterated or discombobulated...or how to keep a secret...or how to prevent the slaughter of American military personnel...or more likely, simply DOES NOT CARE. #DraftBarron #DraftTrump
Just today I came up with A.I.I. (Adderall Induced Illiteracy)...White House is recruiting children's book authors for intelligence briefings my sources tell me (my dog)...as he digresses, Sesame Street puppeteers will become in high demand..no matter what Doge says.
The president is functionally illiterate. Why is the that imposter STILL in office? Come on Congress! Make the easy choice and rid us of this moron before he destroys us all!
And Trump seems to think you can obliterate the same thing twice, like Iran's nuclear capability.
Stay tuned for more destruction. Trump is destroying everything we have held dear and all of the progress we have made and all of the good we have done in the world. Just in time for our 250th birthday.
Our best hope is that the same advisors who agreed with Trump that he had “obliterated” Iran’s nuclear capabilities, also deemed that he had obliterated our democracy … they could just be appeasing the Hemeroid-in-Chief again, because we know he’s still a pain in the ass.
But he is NOT a ROYAL PITA … because - NO KINGS!!!
Sorry, I'm not. I'm a retired oceanographer living in Maine. I do some amateur opinion writing -- letters to the editor in the papers up here and the occasional op-ed. I'm with an advocacy group promoting publicly funded universal health care.
I’m hopeful that the world realizes especially after March 28th that it is NOT OUR WAR but the war of a failed regime that is like a radioactive ship of fools that neither their families nor their children want to belong to at all.
Brises les chaînes—ni putes ni soumises (lo mismo en español) are what thinking women sing so sweetly with open eyes.
Maybe he should be obliviated for literally obliterating Lady Liberty and Uncle Sam. March 28th is next weekend; the more we resist, the more difficult it becomes for him!
Say, wouldn’t it really be something if someone managed to replace all of those Trump banners hanging in DC with one of Ann’s images of him? The problem is that he’d have some (real) presidential monuments destroyed in retaliation. What a jerk! (All of the harshest expletives combined are insufficient.)
Again, the wee, tiny hand, the belt as a sports bra, the fat ass and my personal fave, the camel toe neck are all perfect and worth a guffaw if the damn story didn't make me want to cry.
Every morning I wake up and ask, "Is he dead yet?". Everyone knows who I mean. My only solace is that one of these fine days, the answer is going to be YES!
Hes also the person currently most hated around the world. He figures this war w/Iran is a simple 'excursion'. They will remember this long after trump is gone. Oh and did well mention he has added $2 trillion to the national debt since his inauguration. But his Billionaire friends are happy.
To quote Senator Sheldon Whitehouse's repeated comment on Trump's DOJ, "Equal parts gangster and gong show." Funny, not funny.
Oh, that's good!
* The Speech That History Will Remember as the Breakpoint in the Trump-Epstein-Russia Scandal
Senator Sheldon Whitehouse did not just raise questions. He assembled a pattern that becomes harder to dismiss each day.

brilliantly stated!
It may not ever be over unless the greedy, power hungry members of Congress wake up and do their jobs!
A good start but not nearly enough to rein in the megalow maniac.
Thank you for sharing.

Do your damn jobs Congress! It's not that difficult!
Wouldn't that be nice?!
Rick Wilson says Everything Trump Touches Dies. It's also apparent that every Republican Trump touches turns yellow.
Agree 100%.
That was a great speech! I hope people wake up!!!
He does come out with some great ones!
He's probably proud of his farts since he thinks so highly of his presidency.
Please make him stop stop today..
100%. Though, he’s barely literate, so that’s got to be taken into account.
Perhaps he doesn't know the meaning of obliterated or discombobulated...or how to keep a secret...or how to prevent the slaughter of American military personnel...or more likely, simply DOES NOT CARE. #DraftBarron #DraftTrump

😂woof woof😂😂 🐾 🐾

Trump is cementing his legacy as the most destructive person on the planet.
Not even a flag left to fly upside down … but then anybody can see we’re in distress, so maybe that’s not even a valid point anymore.
Awesome Ann - keep pounding the bastards!!
And Trump seems to think you can obliterate the same thing twice, like Iran's nuclear capability.

The irony of ironies!
Are you the musician, Michael B?

Interesting past, interesting present & future-good on you.
Don’t be sorry! What you do sounds amazing!!! Thank you for all of your contributions ❣️Have a great weekend!
That man is such an embarrassment to our nation. I'm surprised he didn't use a Charlie Chan accent on the Japanese PM.
😂
He's one more embarrassing comment every time he opens his ignorant mouth!
I’m hopeful that the world realizes especially after March 28th that it is NOT OUR WAR but the war of a failed regime that is like a radioactive ship of fools that neither their families nor their children want to belong to at all.

Our human wrecking ball continues wreaking havoc..,on snd on…
Maybe he should be obliviated for literally obliterating Lady Liberty and Uncle Sam. March 28th is next weekend; the more we resist, the more difficult it becomes for him!
Love the two-toned neck!
...and very thin hair.
Ann really does his hunch so well. And his chin taking over his neck. I wish she were in charge of that commemorative coin!
That coin!!! 🤮🤮🤮
So do I !! I hope somehow, some way, he sees one of Ann’s depictions of him, and it turns that orange face purple with rage!!👏👏
Say, wouldn’t it really be something if someone managed to replace all of those Trump banners hanging in DC with one of Ann’s images of him? The problem is that he’d have some (real) presidential monuments destroyed in retaliation. What a jerk! (All of the harshest expletives combined are insufficient.)
I’m running out of adjectives to describe him, for sure!
Maybe he'll have his long-awaited STROKE!! HE'S ALMOST DEAD ALREADY!
Here’s to all those hamburgers, steaks and the extra scoop of ice cream with his cake!!!
2029 will begin a new era in U.S. History: The New Reconstruction Era
Congress, our Courts and the 50 States will be picking up the pieces for years if not decades.
If so, then those of us who believe in a functioning government at all levels will have our work cut out for us for a long time.
Think of it as job security. 😁
I may not live that long, but yes...lifetime job security.
😂😂.
Again, the wee, tiny hand, the belt as a sports bra, the fat ass and my personal fave, the camel toe neck are all perfect and worth a guffaw if the damn story didn't make me want to cry.
March 28.
Put your sneakers by the door.
Thanks Ms. T
Every morning I wake up and ask, "Is he dead yet?". Everyone knows who I mean. My only solace is that one of these fine days, the answer is going to be YES!
The sooner, the better!
Spot on, Ann. Such a sad truth. It's beyond comprehension that the MAGA crowd sees his actions as positive. The cult is strong with this one.
"Cult" is the right word, Jim Jones and the KoolAid.
Hes also the person currently most hated around the world. He figures this war w/Iran is a simple 'excursion'. They will remember this long after trump is gone. Oh and did well mention he has added $2 trillion to the national debt since his inauguration. But his Billionaire friends are happy.
