True. Trump admitted that "things" happen when reporters are unpopular in Saudi Arabia. SMH.
Trump is probably jerking off (trying) each night to the idea that he could have reporters killed and quartered like MBS did.
There shouldn't even be a pardon prior to a conviction.
I could see a necessity of a pre-conviction pardon, but it creates too many abuses. At a minimum, it forces the guilty to have their crimes and evidence in the public eye.
bumping this thread had me worried that they had gotten out of prison. I imagine that there's a TexAgs thread today where they're upset about a white man in prison for killing a black man.
He will pardon himself for any and all federal crimes. And he probably has something on whats-his-face FL governor, that he will receive the same blanket pardon for any and all state crimes committed in Florida.
And while a self pardon is almost certainty not supported by the Constitution, it would take a future Dem DOJ to fight it in courts to strike it down.
If you're unaware, Trump knows more about the World Cup than any American, so he's happy to educate all of us. The FIFA chief also said that no one knows more about football than Trump.
I was getting all of these Tai Chi videos. AI generated. I assume it was for a tai chi program that would pack on 20 lbs of muscle while dropping to 10% body fat.
Honesty Trump is now at a point that nothing can really impact him either financially or criminally. When someone approaches 80, and uniquely has a the ability to claim presidential immunity, his lawyers could tie up any court case well past his death. And even if he somehow lived another 15 years surviving on big macs and cokes, it could always be argued in court that he cannot participate in his own defense and therefore not be prosecuted.
Not to mention that even if incriminating videos surfaced of him, his supporters would first say they don't believe it was real, and then begrudgingly admit they just don't care.
Harris County released their 2025 tax bills on their website and presumably the mailed invoices will soon follow: https://www.hctax.net/Property/ViewStatementReceipts
For me, the 3 major line items had the following changes for the amount owed:
HISD: -6.0% (the tax rate had a slight increase but the exemption was raised.)
Harris County: +2.2%
City of Houston: +3.4%
The minor items range from a smaller bill to the hospital district going up 19%. The overall net increase was +1.3%which is much better than last's year's +12%
(the hospital increase is effectively the entire total increase.)
Or even if the Senate does vote, Bondi has assured him that she can bury the request since there's an "active" investigation.
I can only imagine the security around these Epstein files and info within the DOJ. They know that all it takes is one person to hand the information to a reporter, and the genie is out of the bottle.
Im not that up on this whole scandal but even if Giuffre never mentioned Trump and perhaps Trump never met her, but aren’t there dozens or more victims? It would stand to reason that Epstein wouldn’t have each of his personal victims meet high level men but is the idea that she was the only victim passed around these men? I assumed the opposite.
Last penny was minted today. It's still legal tender but there shouldn't be more made. I read that it may end up costing the US Mint more because it's more expensive to mint nickels and they may need to up minting more nickels now.
Always found it interesting that the Epstein conspiracy theorists believe he was murdered in jail, but never want to take the next natural leap that it was the Trump administration who murdered Epstein even though Trump was president at the time.
imagine if Obama or Biden were Epstein’s friend, and he died under their watch?
I actually don't think most cops, current or retired, would look to fire a gun through a front door because someone knocked on their door early in the morning. If anything, they may not want to ruin their front door.
More likely it's someone who in Indiana who watches Fox News or Newsmax 24/7 focusing on the invading hordes from the south.
At this point, the head of comms at many agencies is the equivalent of a meme poster on 4chan, tigerdroppings, or this place!
Who knew that years of posting from hornfans to surly has prepared many for a career in govt communications.
I would be interested to know how many GOP members are using today's vote to get something. The last thing the GOP leadership needs is a delayed vote because they can't get their party in order. It's always easier to get something when your vote is needed. Why give away your vote for free.
very wild series. eye opening what drug abuse & poverty would drag down some women. I recall some older hooker (probably 32) negotiating how many cigarettes in exchange for sex with a young customer.
to be fair, Kash was probably flying back in the FBI jet after an overnight date in Nashville and was working on limited info. We shouldn't expect the FBI director to be fully informed before making public statements.
