We obviously need Trump to be removed from power. Short of that we need the world to know that the majority of American citizens, and their representatives in the opposition party, can see that this is madness and are trying to stop it. www.offmessage.net/p/no-quarter

Once upon a time everyone knew Trump could blunder us into WWIII. His buffoonery insulated him from backlash, and the world from risk, because decision makers decided to grimace and tolerate it as a temporary inconvenience. That insulation is basically gone now. www.offmessage.net/p/no-quarter

Prior to being asked any questions regarding the case,
the agents asked
whether they could audio record the interview.
advised she was not
comfortable being recorded at that time.
requested agents explain to her
the goal and parameters of the fourth interview.
She indicated she was
aware that because she was victimized several years prior, the statutes of limitation of any viable federal violation may have run.
She asked agents,
"what's the point?" The agents explained that all victims of crime should have the opportunity to tell their story; they wanted to provide her with that opportunity should she choose to accept.
The agents also explained why
they wished to keep the fourth interview focused on abuse
endured at the
hands of individuals associated with JEFFREY EPSTEIN.
previously
mentioned she had sexual contact with (current U.S. President) DONALD TRUMP while she was a minor. She previously explained the contact was facilitated through her association with EPSTEIN. /

DOJ has posted some pages of the missing Epstein files related to the FBI’s belated investigation of Trump’s participation in Epstein crimes after Epstein’s arrest and death in custody in 2019, and they are as bleak as you might expect. www.documentcloud.org/documents/27...

I think they might have better luck spending two thousand dollars holding a press conference where they detail who made the key decisions to collaborate with the Trump administration, how and when they were fired, and explaining what would stop that from happening again.

U.S. elites treat everything Trump does with an air of unseriousness, because he is a ridiculous flimflam man. But applying that lens to the Iran war seems deeply inapt. Reminiscent in some ways of the lens many of those same elites applied to COVID from Nov 2019 - Jan 2020. An over-there problem.
