The evil of “the uniparty” is a classic maga trope.

>>Maples, who married Trump in 1993, widely shared concerns with Mar-a-Lago staff about Epstein soon after the club opened in 1995, according to former employees.<< - WSJ >>> Tina Davis, who worked with Ford Models in the mid-1990s, said in an interview that her Ford booker instructed her to get dressed up and attend a Mar-a-Lago party in late 1994. Just 14 and new to Miami, she was told to “dress sexy,” according to her mother, Sandra Coleman, who had accompanied her to Florida. Eight or nine other models came along on the bus. “All the girls were really young,” Ms. Coleman recalled in an interview. “Some of them could have been in training bras.” When they arrived at Mar-a-Lago, Ms. Coleman said, her daughter was promptly handed a glass of champagne. She took it away, but waiters kept offering more. Each time one of the middle-aged men at the party approached her daughter, Ms. Coleman would walk over and introduce herself as Ms. Davis’s mother. During a trip to the bathroom, they ran into Mr. Trump’s new wife, whom they had met earlier. Ms. Maples clasped her hands, Ms. Coleman recalled, and looked her in the eye. “Whatever you do, do not let her around any of these men, and especially my husband,” she told Ms. Coleman. “Protect her.”<<< - NYT

Ha, it cracks me up when even Pirro, Patel & Bondi tell maga a thing & they still don’t believe it.

WSJ - The Incident That Prompted Trump to Ban Epstein From Mar-a-Lago’s Spa ~~~ Mar-a-Lago sent an 18-year-old spa worker on a house call to Jeffrey Epstein in 2003. She complained to her bosses that Epstein pressured her for sex. >>>Jeffrey Epstein wasn’t just a frequent visitor to Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The club was also sending spa employees—usually young women—to Epstein’s nearby mansion for massages, manicures and other spa services, according to former Mar-a-Lago and Epstein employees. The house calls went on for years, even as spa employees warned each other about Epstein, who was known among staff for being sexually suggestive and exposing himself during the appointments, according to the former Mar-a-Lago employees. The spa occasionally provided house calls for members. Epstein wasn’t a dues-paying member of the club, but Trump told staff to treat him like one, the employees said. Epstein had an account at the spa where his companion, Ghislaine Maxwell, booked appointments on his behalf. They came to a halt in 2003, after an 18-year-old beautician returned to the club from a house call to Epstein and reported to managers that he had pressured her for sex, former employees said. A manager sent Trump a fax relaying the employee’s allegations and urged him to ban Epstein, some of the former employees said. Trump told the manager it was a good letter and said to kick him out. The beautician disclosed the house call to the club’s human resources team, one of the former employees said. The incident wasn’t reported to Palm Beach police, according to the former employees and police. The department didn’t begin investigating Epstein until two years later, when a parent told them Epstein molested a 14-year-old girl from a local high school. Epstein was arrested in 2006 after several underage teens told police he paid them for sex.<<<

He's such a POS. How can anyone support this turd. Basically that’s how he treated Pence.

>>Ingle said Greene “is quitting on her constituents in the middle of her term and abandoning the consequential fight we’re in — we don’t have time for her petty bitterness.”<< Thats not even a non-denial denial.

>>>Greene’s last exchange with the president was by text message on Nov. 16. That day, she received an anonymous email in her personal Gmail account that threatened her college-aged son: “Derek will have his life snuffed out soon. Better watch his back.” The email’s subject heading used the nickname Trump had given her the day before: “Marjorie Traitor Greene.” Greene promptly texted that information to the president. According to a source familiar with the exchange, his long reply made no mention of her son. Instead, Trump insulted her in personal terms. When she replied that children should remain off limits from their disagreements, Trump responded that she had only herself to blame. <<< NYT

It’s Casablanca for me. But I love IAWL too. The main difference for me is that for Rick a light switches off & on for him morally & personally. For George the forces are all beyond his control, he’s lost by the fault of others & saved by the grace of others. With Bogart you can’t tell how he will land, he’s inscrutable, sometimes unscrupulous, & you know he could kill & has killed. Bogart’s performance is one of the greatest in history IMO.

I’m pretty sure Venezuela & neighboring nations plus OAS would be flipping out in the press and at the UN by now.

The president said this 4 days ago now? And it appears to be completely false?

The President of the USA blithely announces - on “Cats & Cosby” radio show - that the US has struck land targets in Venezuela. No one appears to believe this, even his administration. The DOD, which no longer does press briefings or speak to mainstream journalists, hadn’t said anything.

Honest Answer: no, I would not be disappointed. I’ll go even further, Godspeed to the prosecutors who take this up but if prosecution isn’t possible I hope these people never walk in a moment’s peace in human society again. Ostracize & reject them.

She should have learned from Cohen & Kemp & recorded him. Always record Trump. Otoh that’s certainly why Trump met with Mace & Boebert in the Situation Room, where no recording is permitted.

>>>After the hearing, Greene held a news conference at which she threatened to identify some of the men who had abused the women. (Greene says that she didn’t know those names herself but that she could have gotten them from the victims.) Trump called Greene to voice his displeasure. Greene was in her Capitol Hill office, and according to a staff member, everyone in the suite of rooms could hear him yelling at her as she listened to him on speakerphone. Greene says she expressed her perplexity over his intransigence. According to Greene, Trump replied, “My friends will get hurt.” When she urged Trump to invite some of Epstein’s female victims to the Oval Office, she says, he angrily informed her that they had done nothing to merit the honor. It would be the last conversation Greene and Trump would ever have.<<< NYT
