This is not transparency. Nearly everything the GOP just “released” has already been released. This is a pathetic attempt by Republicans to buy them more time to bury this crisis. RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.

Trump threatening members of Congress not to sign the Epstein files discharge petition saying it would be a “hostile act” against him is definitely something an innocent person would do. And scheduling a military flyover in the middle of the survivor press conference is also totally normal behavior.

Where are all the GOP "pro-life" people now?? Normally the US would seize the boat, crew, and drugs. Not blow people to smithereens with zero evidence or justification. This escalation of anti-Hispanic hatred from kidnapping to murder should worry every American.

It’s as if he’s a Russian asset, trying to destroy America from within.

Of course he uses a teleprompter for speeches. Even then, he tends to fuck it up and meander around with meaningless word salad. How can anyone say this with a straight face? He is the LEAST comprehensible public speaker ever. He babbles. He can't finish a thought. "Clearly"? Bwaaahahaha.

Lethal force against a civilian vessel in international waters is a war crime if not in self-defense. If not in self-defense, only non-lethal actions, such as warning shots or disabling fire, are allowed. "Not yielding to pursuers" or "suspected of carrying drugs" doesn't carry a death sentence.

But they went for Trump in the election, so that sort of mail-in voting is GOOD.

I was much happier when I thought he was dead. C'mon, karma!

I see he backed off the claim that it was ten. Can someone ask him just which wars he "settled"?

Entirely ignoring that fact that the constitution quite specifically forbids using the military for such a purpose. It's illegal to have US military doing local law enforcement. But this asshole doesn't care. It makes him feel powerful. He's a pathetic jackass.

No mention of Epstein, no real explanation as to why Trump was MIA this week, all lies about the sinking economy and rising prices, more racism and hate against blue cities and liberals... This is red meat for the hardcore base, but that is a minority.

Are there qualified people in the red states to do the jobs? I have my doubts.
