Donica Lewinsky, y’all.

Also, never thought MTG would be a voice of relative sanity.

Yup the story just got wild and the wildest part is that it is all possible. Its like the longest episode of Jerry Springer ever and they got everything. We got predators, we got unbridled depravity, we got Israeli spies, we got Russian blackmail, we got possible murder, we got videos, emails and messages. We got man on man action. Dammit we got bubba.

The most frustrating thing is, there's also the possibility the latest email hoard coming out is all a smokescreen, distraction, pushing it all into the realm of ridicule and disbelief to distract from the ongoing plundering of the state and dismantling of democracy.

20,000 emails released, who can say what's real and what's there to make it appear so absurd to direct attention away from the real victims. Maybe it's all real, and it's a tactic to blame everyone, making it appear hopeless for justice to ever be served. Get the population so riled up, clear thinking goes out the window. It all fits with emotional control strategies, used to win elections, keep people enraged with social media, keep people outraged into inaction.

While anger can be a motivator for change, prolonged and unmanaged outrage can lead to emotional exhaustion, make clear communication difficult, and ultimately stop individuals from taking constructive steps.

Prolonged manufactured outrage does the same. It's the same tactic as the IDF letting their soldiers release their war crimes on social media. It's all true, but also designed to batter the population into inaction through emotional exhaustion. 

The timing of releases of shocking news is important. And there's always the push to focus on the divide between Dems and Reps, US and Israel, US and Russia, while it's mostly a play as old as Rome, divide and conquer. It's the same people behind the politicians controlling geopolitics for their benefit. Putting it all on Epstein and Mossad to distract from the greater corruption that is plundering the Earth's resources.

In the end politicians are merely tools, no longer the ones holding real power. They're here to play the villain, take the blame while getting paid and guaranteed a stay out of jail free card. All you need is people like Trump that love attention good or bad.

Trump loves attention, good or bad. Power doesn't fear being hated, it fears being irrelevant. Stop watching. Stop sharing. Stop letting him set the terms of the conversation. Trumpism advances when civic infrastructure is ignored. Everyone wants to march against him, but who shows up to the planning commission meeting where voter suppression or housing discrimination gets quietly baked into policy?

Bulk evidence released into the public domain is merely another tool to emotionally exhaust the population. Nvm preemtively making a trial by jury impossible. I fear nothing will come from this, just more paralyzing outrage and useless finger pointing.

Maybe they'll offer up a scapegoat at some point, yet whoever took over Epstein's role is well out of view and not on the radar by far.

Chris Hedges: America is a Banana Republic

El Presidente Donald Trump is the gringo version of brutal and corrupt dictators foisted on Latin American countries by their oligarchs and Yankee imperialists.

It finally got through Donica’s osmium-thick skull that 1) tariffs are paid by Americans, not the Chinese, Brazilians, or anybody else, and 2) many products Americans use cannot br sourced in the USA. 

TACO.

From coffee to beef, Trump rolls back tariffs on dozens of products - KOCO News 5

Dictators and democratic backsliding seem to be a recurring flaw in every presidential republic. We see this time and again in Latin America, Asia (see South Korea’s recent brush with an attempted coup), and the Trump administration.

Maybe it’s a bad idea to:
1. Combine head of state and head of government into one role
2. Have a vice president instead of calling snap elections to replace a bad head of government
3. Require elaborate political theater to remove a sitting president instead of a simple no confidence vote in the lower house of government
4. Give the upper house any power other than making suggestions.

The Epstein Network: a Window Into How Elite Politics Really Work

Rania Khalek and Eugene Puryear discuss the latest Trump-Epstein revelations, showing how Epstein wasn’t just a predator but a key node in elite networks spanning presidents, prime ministers, billionaires, and US, UK and Israeli intelligence agencies. They explain why this scandal exposes the criminality of the ruling class and the long history of overlap between organized crime, intelligence, and power in the US and UK. The media, they warn, risks reducing it all to salacious gossip instead of the systemic indictment it is.

I usually say nothing Trump does surprises me anymore.
But I didn't have this one on my Bingo card.

Even Truth Social's AI knows Trump is a liar:

https://www.mediaite.com/media/news/truth-socials-new-ai-tool-hammers-trump-over-tariffs-january-6-and-affordability/

Q: “Do Trump’s Tariffs cost the American people money?”
Truth Search AI: “Yes. Tariffs are taxes on imports that U.S. importers pay and largely pass on through higher prices, so the costs are borne mainly by American businesses and consumers.”

Q: “Did Donald Trump lie about the 2020 election being ‘rigged’ and ‘stolen?’”
Truth Search AI: “Yes. Courts, Trump’s own advisers, and official investigations found no evidence that the 2020 election was ‘rigged’ or ‘stolen,’ despite his repeated claims.”

Q: “Did people storm the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2020, because of Donald Trump?”
Truth Search AI: “Yes. Multiple official and contemporaneous records attribute the January 6, 2021, Capitol breach to a pro‑Trump crowd mobilized around his false election‑fraud claims and pressure campaign to stop certification.”

Q: “How many wars has Trump ended since taking office in 2025?”
Truth Search AI: “None. There is no verified instance of President Trump formally ending a war since taking office in January 2025.”

Q: “Have grocery prices gone down since Donald Trump took office on Jan. 20, 2025?”
Truth Search AI: “Short answer: No. As of 2025, grocery prices have not fallen since Jan. 20, 2025; they have continued to rise modestly on net.”

“The saddest post in the history of this website. I’m crying,”

“This was posted at 3 in the morning Central Time,”

“the most divorced post of all time.”

“Bro gets a $1 trillion pay package and hours later he’s using his AI to imagine someone telling him ‘I love you,'”

“It really ain’t about the money if you don’t have love and someone to share it with. If this ain’t proof, I don’t know what is.”

Are MAGA going to try and downplay sexual activities between old men and minors?

Some of them don't even consider 15 to be pedophilia. See Megyn Kelly using the Gianmarco defense.
