With some republican senators now demanding that all Epstein files be released, it’s just a matter of time and time is not on Trump’s side. They’re smelling blood in the water and they don’t want it to be their own.

ALSO: we know from logs that the prosecutors gave these 53 pages we know know are missing from the files to Gislaine during her prosecution. SO SHE HAS THEM, and DOJ moved to a cushy facility. I'm sure she knows a LOT MORE abut the DirtyOldMan and melania, since they were all besties. but he needs to keep Gislaine happy.

They don’t want her to say anything about trump that might make him took like a nasty old rapist.

Trump continues to attempt to add to the clown car. Kennedy’s asinine medical ideas are already killing people, especially children. So now we want to add another idiot who apparently supports his ideas and thinks birth control is disrespectful to life…? WTF! She is woefully unqualified and does not deserve the public trust. Get her out of there!

DJT looks under rocks for his nominees.

I suspect he has a shovel. His nominees are extra dirty and slimy.

If you were thinking today’s piece would be a light one, you were mistaken! Let’s go!

Sam, these posts here are never 'light'. Some may be shorter than others, but they always cut to the bone.

I don’t believe that there will be any accountability in the Epstein matter until the Democrats have a huge majority.

A typical pick by this regime to once again find a totally incompetent person to head up a vital agency.

I find the Texas infighting entertaining

I’m glad I don’t live in Texas; I would be hard pressed to choose between Jasmine & James. I very much like both.

Kat'sLife's avatar

I agree with all three responses.

Casey Means would be a great surgeon general if we lived in an era where drilling holes in people’s heads was the scientific limit to our knowledge of treating mental illness, and leeches were the go-to cure for all other ailments.

Debbie E's avatar

Love this. Can I use this line when I call my Senator's office to demand that he vote No on Means' appointment? It's Rick Scott, so ya know he's part of this corrupt regime so this, like everything else, falls on his big corrupt Mickey Mouse ears!

Wis's avatar

Use it, please! Maybe you’ll get thru his trumpy Teflon and upset him so much, he’ll flap his ears and fly away! 🙏

What do you think of Trump’s nominee for Surgeon General?

Pathetic!

Thoughts on the bitter infighting in the Texas GOP primary?

Yay!

Disgusting…hope that becomes this doctors new patient DJT and R Kennedy Jr as attending/

The fact that it's even possible by law to have anyone as Surgeon General other than an M.D. with years of experience in practicing medicine is appalling. Let's hope that the idiots who okayed RFK Jr. have their eyes wide open this time.

Where are they in the confirmation process? So much going on, I feel more 😵‍💫 every day, but as HCR reiterates, that's the point. Taking deep breaths and pushing on.

It's getting to be more and more difficult !!

Scott, I love the Texas Republican infighting. No matter whether Cornyn or Paxton gets the nomination, their reputations are already sullied by the opposing ads. It is IMPERATIVE that the Democrats win big in the midterms. If they achieve the majority, they get the subpoena power and the investigations can begin.

🗄️ Keep the pressure on. Release ALL the files.

⚕️One of the requirements for office of US Surgeon General is an active medical license. Casey Means’ license has been inactive since 2024. She is completely incompetent. If nominated, she will be another “yes” person that the regime manipulates.

🙄 I’m hoping their kerfuffle leads to election of a Democratic Senator!

Robot Bender's avatar

She's a liar, just like the rest of Trump's nominees and hires.

netta glaser's avatar

She wouldn't have been nominated if she didn't fit the bill!

Paul Barnes's avatar

1) Keeping our hands on the throttle.

2) Fitting and consistent, given his other nominees and appointments. There seems to be a huge basket of unqualifieds. His standards remain true to form.

3) Love it.

He knows nothing else

Jane Ward's avatar

When the report of Trump's rape of young girls finally surfaces, he needs to begin wearing the color orange. Matches his face. Once again, Trump chooses someone he can control, so why not Casey Means? She is not qualified, with no medical license and MEANS no good, especially for America's children. Christianity and in-fighting seem to be GOP Texans' favorite daily activities.

Robot Bender's avatar

Don't they understand that this medical malpractice and woo can easily kill them and their families? Epidemics don't care who you are or what you believe. 😫 🤒 😷 🤧 🤢

Q1) What do you think will cause accountability to really rain down on the Epstein accomplices, especially in the United States?

A1) Once DJT falls, the rest of the house of cards will fall. Right now, because he is being protected by the DOJ and FBI, others believe they will be covered under the same umbrella, or if convicted, will be granted a sweetheart deal like Maxwell’s if they promise to keep their mouths shut. DJT knows that if they start talking, he’s done unless the investigations into their actions are kept hidden. The big problem for DJT is the inept cover-up. Running for president was his biggest mistake. If he had never run for president, his involvement in the Epstein scandal, as well as his conviction on his other felonious actions, would have been kept under the radar. Bottom line, if DJT falls, they fall. If they fall first, DJT may still not fall – at least until he’s out of office.

Q2) What do you think of Trump’s nominee for Surgeon General?

A2) I’m not shocked that DJT has nominated another unqualified person for an extremely important position. The more inept a person is, the “smarter” DJT mistakenly thinks it makes him look. Congress should at least pretend they’re approving someone with relevant credentials as Surgeon General. Between her and RJK Jr., American’s health will be in critical condition on life-support with minimal brain activity.

Q3) Thoughts on the bitter infighting in the Texas GOP primary?

A3) Let them keep fighting until they “kill” each other off in their duel. The more they fight and bring out the negatives of each other, the more I like it. Like many of the other Republican politicians in Texas, neither Paxton nor Cornyn have been good for Texas, which is why I vote Democrat. (Yes, I live in Texas.)

Accountability for Epstein class will only come if Republican cowards decide to do what's is right OR when democrats overtake both houses. Let's hope for the latter since it is clear Republicans have no "balls"

Robot Bender's avatar

Trump keeps their balls on his desk in a jar.

netta glaser's avatar

It has a be a very very big jar to hold all of those BIG balls

The Epstein files will be completely released, including the missing 53 pages, by the beginning of summer because Bondi will no longer be able to resist the pressure from GOP senators. Once they are and the public reads what Trump did the tide will turn even harder away from the Republicans. Casey Means will be confirmed as Surgeon General despite being unqualified because the GOP is still afraid of Trump. Six months from now the story will be very different, but for now Trump still holds too much power over the GOP base for any Republicans to want to anger him. The Texas primary will result in Ken Paxton as the GOP nominee and Talarico as the Democratic. Cornyn will either refuse or just perfunctorially endorse Paxton, and this November Texas will elect Talarico. Trump will be dead in the water by then, and when the Democrats take control of Congress next year his presidency will be over. Not that he still won't be able to do great damage. When he's impeached for the third time sometime next year enough GOPer Senators will be willing to vote to convict him to remove him from office. Vance will serve out the remainder of the term and in January 2029 will crawl back under his rock for good.
