The US and Donald Trump aren't protecting Israel.
The US and Donald Trump are Israel's bitch, on a leash, responsive to the barest of twitches by the controlling hand.
Because Epstein had kompromat on senior US politicians and business people, and there's been a lot of blackmailing going around for a long time.
The question is ... For whom did Epstein act? Who benefited from Epstein's program to compromise and squeeze US politicians and business leaders?
Cronies around.
And yeah, the US has culpability in creating the mess that is the middle east now.
But Martin Sheen's president pays obeisance to the myth that the US is a force for good.
Trump doesn't give a fuck about that.
Ah now we're getting interesting.
I agree that the US has always been a hegemonic power, and a bully to the rest of the world.
I also agree with Mark Carney when he described Western nations as cronies accompanying the US bully, and the problem now is that the bully is also smacking its former ...
Maybe you're ordering from pizza places that bake frozen pies. I hear it's harder and harder to get real, actual food in the US.
In China, convicted sex offenders face the death penalty, particularly if the victims were minors.
But the Chinese also prosecute their billionaires who try to buy influence and to manipulate public policy decisions.
Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer are two other great reasons for term limits AND age limits.
In many other countries, including Western liberal democracies, impose age limits to public office holders. The US should do the same.
Well, no.
The fictional white house depicted in the TV series is just about the polar opposite of Trump's white houses, and it's MAD to think these two versions belong in the same timeline.
But before he bankrupted those casinos, he used them as money-laundering vehicles for Russian mobsters.
If you want to get depressed about politics, watch The West Wing.
What will it take for people to wake up?
An act of God.
FAFO
$1 billion per day cost for bombing/attacking Iran.
And why?
When Trump became POTUS, the US military became to him what the gardeners, caddies, waitresses, cleaners at his resorts and gold clubs have been to him ... Cannon fodder to be taken advantage of.
If you're gonna punish Noem, could you also punish her plastic surgeon?
I'll be supporting Leeds, Forest and West Ham between now and the end of the season.
That plane is gonna need biblical levels of disinfecting.
I'm sort of feeling sorry for them.
Actually no, I'm just kidding.
Gonna be a West Ham, Forest and Leeds fan over the next couple of months.
The thing that's sad is when people think Trump changed things in the US, and before Trump, things were hunky dory.
Trump isn't the cause of the sickness that's killing the US right now.
Trump is a symptom of that sickness.
It's been the way it has been for a very long time. This world isn't a nice place. The US and its allies are not a force for good.
If they're not radicalized, we can't justifiably bomb them.
So we bomb them to radicalize them. We kill their kids, brothers, sisters, parents, friends to radicalize them.
Then once they're radicalized and do something stupid, we can bomb them because they're radicalized.
See how this works?
Dear Chuck,
Please retire.
Thanks.
Three points are entertaining.
Always.
What happened at Wolves?
Three wins all season long and two of them have come in the last two matches against Villa and Liverpool.
Sheesh.
I know quite a few Americans who refused to vote for Harris because they thought the Democrats were as bad as MAGA when it came to the genocide in Gaza. So they threw away their votes on third-party candidates.
I want to know if they could tell Trump and Harris apart now.
Getting set pieces goals is a factor of getting set pieces in the first place.
You know who's "winning" right now?
China.
The Chinese are getting real-time data on how US and European weaponry are performing. They're getting a good picture of how Western armaments compare to theirs, and we should expect a more assertive China should they decide theirs can handle ours.
Global defence spending will be $3 trillion.
The US accounts for 4 percent of the global population.
The US is responsible for 50 percent of all that annual global "defence" spending.
This is staggeringly messed up.
And D) the people for whom Epstein worked were the ones who had him removed from the board before he got the chance to spill the beans and ruin the game for them. Epstein had served his purpose. The compromising materials he gathered remain at play. Epstein was expendable.
All is secondary to
A) how Epstein gathered kompromat on people like Trump
B) the material is now in the hands of the people for whom Epstein worked
C) these folks dictate terms to the people Epstein had compromised.
Including Trump.
Trump isn't in control.
Trump is a puppet.
Trump is a stooge.
