    I’m thinking he is being pressured by people with international buying power whose names are also on the list maybe

    My money is attacking Mexico without a declaration of war. Brown people are down there, it justifies the ICE budget, and other bullshit.

      A civil one, at this rate. He already hates the people in the country and there’s no one to go to war with since he became but-buddies with all the dictators and, despite everything, attacking Europe would probably trigger a civil war anyway.

    Ok Donald. If you get Putin to leave Ukraine on Zelensky’s terms, then maybe we can talk about something other than Epstein for 5 minutes. Maybe.

    However, if you fuck over Ukraine, and then try to claim a victory for authoritarianism as a victory for peace (which you almost assuredly will) we double down on Epstein so fucking fast even JD Vance will start to regret betraying you to Rupert Murdoch before the midterms.

    Everything is a distraction from the West giving up on liberty. It’s not only the US.

    tldr; new UK laws are extremly privacy invading requiering ID and face photos to acces any explicit material including sites like Wikipedia, similiar to some USA state laws and it looks like EU might just follow

      These aren’t distractions, they’re just doing multiple awful things around the same time. Sometimes the timing is, sure, but these are all very real things that they’re doing. Calling it a “distraction” makes it sound likenthey wouldn’t have been so evil if they weren’t afraid but they love this shit.

    I think Trump cares more about the Epstein files than his supporters do. He is actually the one making a big deall out of it.

    I just don’t get why.

    He’s going to float the idea of giving Alaska to Russia, distracting people from the Epstein fiasco.

    In other words: drumpf is a RAPIST and a PEDOPHILE

    Legitimately surprised that he hasn’t staged another “assassination attempt”, it worked so well for him last time.

          My understanding is that glass from the screen likely shattered and hit his ear?

          In any case, a little better aim and we would have a better world.

            i found this in an article after three minutes of research

            https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/photos-of-trumps-ear-before-and-after-his-rally-shooting-arent-what-we-expected/ar-AA1p4Azy

            Seeing the Republican candidate’s ear intact had some questioning the source of Trump’s wound. “This is so strange, does anyone else think trump didn’t actually get shot?” an X user commented. Others were quick to point out that while the flesh damage was not substantial that it was clear Trump had in fact sustained injury. “Disagree, there is evidence of damage at the top,” one X user replied. “How grown adults can’t understand that a 5.56mm hole in your ear can be sewn up and properly heal is beyond me,”

                there was no hole, the top of his ear was taken off, he was almost killed but gout out with what is effectively a fancy scratch, i don’t think any sane person would ever go look mommy i have a booboo also if you actually read the article a shared a link to you would have read that his ear bled a lot, which might not have been super kid friendly when being viewed on public tv

      Are you sure that would have even been fatal? He’s not using anything up there.
