"President Donald Trump is in an absolute fury over his inability to stop MAGA from talking about the Jeffrey Epstein files. He unleashed a furious, manic tirade on Truth Social over it, and then rambled bizarrely about it to reporters for over a minute straight. None of it’s working. Striking new polls—one from Quinnipiac and the other from CNN—show wide public dissatisfaction with the whole Epstein fiasco. Critically, both polls show large chunks of Republicans are also unhappy about it, suggesting his efforts to shut this down aren’t working. But something deeper is going on here. Trump is also revealing a level of contempt for MAGA that’s unusual even for him. His anger seems primarily rooted in his inability to simply command them to think whatever he tells them to think."

Huh, the creator of the monster, who grew accustomed to the monster believing every word of their creator and performing every task the creator asked of them is having issues because the monster can't process what the creator is telling them here/now because it massively conflicts with what the creator said there/then?
Weird. If only there existed a teaching story that warned of such events.
LOL - I do my best not to shoulda/coulda/woulda but maybe MAGA using the pejoratives they did against everyone not them (but specifically the LGBTQIA+ community) wasn't the strategic move they thought it was.
Popcorn anyone?
Also - a bit OT but related in that this isn't going away either: George Retes, the American citizen and disabled US Veteran is speaking out about his experiences being detained without due process for the crime of being Brown in LA.
LOL - he's everything WeThePeople need - a powerful and gentle reminder that evil always sows the seeds of it's own destruction. ICE meet George. He has some things to say.
A house of cards eventually collapses.
At some point even the the most gullible see that the Emperor indeed Has No Clothes.
The cracks are appearing and the foundation is wobbly.
All good stuff.
As usual, the uncrowned KIng throws in his inevitable revenge-

The Justice Department has fired Maurene Comey, a federal prosecutor and the daughter of ex-FBI director James Comey, according to three sources, including one former Justice Department prosecutor.
She was given a memo informing her of the firing, two sources said. According to one source, the memo stated in part that she was being dismissed pursuant to Article 2 of the U.S. Constitution, which is the portion of the Constitution that lays out the president's powers.
Maurene Comey served as a federal prosecutor in Manhattan, where she was the lead prosecutor on the criminal case against Sean "Diddy" Combs — a case that ended in acquittal on the most serious charges but convictions for interstate prostitution.
She also helped lead the criminal prosecutions of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Maxwell was convicted and sentenced to 20 years for helping Epstein sexually abuse underage girls for at least a decade between the 1990s and 2000s. She appealed her conviction to the Supreme Court.
His popularity is falling fast because people are beginning to realize he is just another crooked politician who is more about himself than the citizens.
This latest stunt with the files are even enough to turn Candace Owen into non trump supporter. She was a staunch trump supporter for many ears but is no longer in his camp.
The good thing is he cannot run again and is losing some of his power of his crowd. Another good thing is it looks like we will have some good choices in the next presidential election. His antics are going to cost the republicans the majority in the house which means we will have two years of nothing getting done which may be a good thing.
He is NOT JUST ANOTHER CROOKED POLITICIAN skud. He is way beyond THAT. He is a pathological liar, a sexual assaulter, a felon, an insurrectionist, and one who can always be trusted to do the WRONG thing.
Perhaps the one truly good thing that might comes of Trump 2.0 will be that Trump loses both the house and senate in 2026 and again in 2028. Restoring some sanity back to government.
Les, 2028 doesn't really matter because no matter what we will have a different president. I agree with you about the republicans losing the house in 2026 which means we will have a stalemate government for two years. If, and this is a big if, our elected elite would work for all the people they could work past their differences but that just won't happen. Money has always controlled politics and our politicians and it is just getting worse. We should go back to a citizen government but there is too much money for the "professional" politician to give up their bread bowel.
I guess Les, it's like this. There are lies and there are lies.
"If you like your insurance, you can keep your insurance." A lie? If there was an intent to deceive, yes. If corret when it was said, but later it was not, it was not a lie.
All politician's engage in THAT type of misdirection, untruths and lies. Even exagerrations.
But you mi amigo are correct. Trump is a world class liar, the best liar, a liar who knows no equal. He lies about his hand bruises [from shaking hands], to the severity of the Corona virus [in the spring it will all be gone, while on tape saying otherwise], to his uncle teaching the Unabomber at MIT [never happened].
And now to the entire Epstein scandale, all of his, and his minions own making.
Trump's got an Epstein mess and no way to clean it up. Is there anything incriminating there? I seriously doubt it. But he and his MAGA base knew they could make hay banging on Biden for not releasing the files, a standard DOJ policy.
So they did.
And now, after all his lies were repeated and amplified a million times, people, including MAGA, believe there is something there.
So he's stuck. His defense? You know of course, don't you? All of you...
More lies.
No Skud, Trump is not like other politicians. He's a world class pathological liar. And his continuation to do so just strengthens the charge.
Here are the DSM characteristics... all part of pathological lying... you tell us Skud... do any of these fit Trump?
Antisocial Personality Disorder: Individuals with this disorder may lie and manipulate others for personal gain, often without remorse.
Narcissistic Personality Disorder: Lying can be used to inflate their self-image, gain admiration, or manipulate others to maintain a sense of superiority.
Histrionic Personality Disorder: Individuals with this disorder may lie to gain attention or appear more interesting.
Shaw... there's something perhaps we should consider regarding the release of the Epstein files. Many ppl, Skud and Pres Trump included seem fixated on why the Biden DOJ under Merrick Garland did not release the files, if they were so salacious and harmful to Trump.
What all those clowns have failed to grasp is this... up until Trump, no president used the DOJ for political purposes and since the Nixon Admin have maintained a hands off approach to the department.
That way the DOJ could be seen as independent.
So why would the Biden DOJ, independent and not political, have even considered releasing the files? It's not how it had been done in recent history.,
But the Trumps and the Skuds in the world struggle with this reality.
And if you are biden and the DNC, media, staff they are just fibs. Somehow accusing anyone of being liars is a real stretch coming from a democrat.
BTW I agree with all the disorders you have associated with trump. You just assume obama didn't know you couldn't keep your insurance as part of the government takeover of insurance bill. Unlike joe, obama knew what was going on so he cannot shrug he didn't know.
Trump calls people ;liars' almost hourly. When he is accused, he sues for billions. What a terrible example of our species. 3 cheers for Stephen Colbert!
Live in the past, project the future, all while watching things go to hell in the present now.
Attachments keep one's mind tethered to the past, desires pull one's mind to the future.
Both attachment and desire are main causes of dissatisfaction and suffering.
One can only live in the present instance of now. The past you is dead and the future you is not yet here.
Life in the form body can only be lived in the now moment.
skud, start living.
