I’ve got 4-5 claims there. I’m glad to revisit in a different thread. I stated my point that attacking Swalwell for his marital history 15 years ago pales in comparison to Trump’s scandalous history for those who consider it relevant to issues of character. If you really want to chase this stuff down, glad to do it but we should do it in a different preexisting thread.

Donald Trump told pals he was 'banging' his assistant, Epstein email claims >>Donald Trump allegedly told friends he was "banging" his 28-year-old White House assistant, a prominent author claimed to Jeffrey Epstein. Michael Wolff, who has written several books and articles about Trump, made the claim in a draft of a portion of a book shared with the paedophile financier in a 2019 email. ….The draft recalls Trump's decision to spend the 2018 Christmas holiday at the White House, rather than decamp with his family to Mar A Lago, his Palm Beach, Florida resort. … But in text - which was edited to remove the identity of the aide in his 2019 book 'Siege' - Wolff claimed: "In an empty White House, Trump's personal secretary, 28-year-old Madeleine Westerhout, brought his papers and call sheets from the West Wing up to the residence, finding him, she told friends, in his underwear." Ms Westerhout was a long time member of Trump's staff and the former elevator attendant at Trump Tower during the transition. The draft reads: "[Steve] Bannon recalled noting that Trump took a particular interest in her. A leering Trump kept repeating, "She's got a way about her," his signature, and creepy, stamp of approval for young women." Wolff went on: "Now the president was telling friends that he wasn't staying at the White House because of the shutdown - he was staying because he was "banging" Madeleine. Shutdown bravado? Locker room talk? Or all part of a new alternative reality that only he seemed to be living in?" … In her 2020 book, entitled "Off the Record", Ms Westerhout recounts her sacking from the White House staff, after she made indiscreet comments to reporters about the President's family. …<<

Incredible, are they just retroactively copy/pasting signatures now? That’s worse than an autopen.

The breakout RBs have been hitting one after another. - Henderson - Tuten (today) - Harvey (soon) - Monangai (for a moment) - Benson has yet to show up for practice.

I know, I drafted him, I’ve seen a good deal of McCarthy playing football this year, it’s ugly. I just thought regression alone & a good schedule would do the trick. And the lack of TDs had to go the other way. I’ve had similar thinking on AJ Brown, but that ain’t happening either. There’s a lot of bad football out there in the NFL right now.

Trump absolutely hates Biden because he beat him, & because he beat him like a hammer on a nail. He’s an absolute psycho-narcissist.

I enjoyed the 1st 2 seasons but watched a lot more. Really through the lumberjack era. That’s way too much. I also have one of the books, but I’m interested in the writing. As for the shows I was fairly obsessed with the girl who plays the sister & Julie Benz. To me the show should’ve ended when his captain caught him. Everything after that I thought the character had lost consistency. It could’ve ended there & it would’ve been great.

Actually I’m not sure Maga *will unanimously or even mostly support Trump on this, or that they are. Greene, Boebert & Mace all resisted heavy pressure from Trump, & he needed to flip just 1 vote to kill the discharge petition. This vote on Tuesday is going to be on the ‘26 ballot & my guess is we’re going to see some open defiance. Not to mention maybe just maybe some Congressmen are going to get tired finally of getting their chains jerked.

Ok this is getting freaky, Greene apologizes for participating in toxic politics.

Frankly the methods - tear gas, balaclavas, paddy wagons, self created permitted protest areas, brutal detentions without cause & without information to family or public - is more reminiscent of authoritarian nations like Hungary & Belarus than the Land of the Free.

Steve Bannon Offered Trump’s MAGA as Shield for Jeffrey Epstein ~~ Jeffrey Epstein helped shape Trump’s MAGA movement through a secret alliance with its chief architect, Steve Bannon, who told him it could help him “stave off Time’s Up for a decade” in return for strategic and financial support >>Jeffrey Epstein – long portrayed by the Republican right as part of a deep state liberal conspiracy – was providing strategic, financial and media support to the very heart of Trump’s MAGA movement, working directly with Steve Bannon on political planning in Europe and US campaign messaging from 2018 to 2019. The payoff would be a movement that neutralised the #MeToo campaign against sexual harassment in the workplace. For years, Bannon – the architect of MAGA, Trump’s first campaign manager and former White House chief strategist – has used his War Room podcast to promote QAnon conspiracy theories about the Democrat Party as a cabal of child molesters. He once described QAnon as “the elephant in the room”; had Republican representative Marjorie Taylor Greene on his show calling Democrats “the party of paedophiles”; and urged listeners to call their senators and oppose the confirmation of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson by relaying “your unexpurgated opinion on what you think of Judge Jackson in this area of child torture, child rape, baby torture, and baby rape.” Yet the new emails released by the House Oversight Committee, reviewed by Byline Times reveal that in contrast, Steve Bannon had worked closely with Jeffrey Epstein, an American financier and convicted sex offender accused of operating a vast international sex trafficking ring involving underage girls. …Epstein offered potential financial support to Bannon through opaque cryptocurrency schemes designed to evade regulatory scrutiny, along with extensive political networks, strategic planning and routes to European leaders – not to mention advice on pro-Trump video campaign materials. In return, Bannon offered Epstein something irresistible: to build a right-wing MAGA coalition that would “stave off” the global movement against sexual harassment for more than a decade. …However, newly released emails now show Jeffrey Epstein acting as an intimate political fixer for Steve Bannon himself between 2018 and 2019. Over this period, Epstein arranged access to world leaders for Bannon, proposing opaque crypto-based funding structures, drafting contact lists for the MAGA architect, and even offering the President of the UN General Assembly to guide Bannon’s “EU project.” In return, Bannon fed Epstein ideological strategy, media plans and internal Republican thinking – at one point spelling out a right-wing coalition to “stave off Time’s Up for next decade plus”. The correspondence also shows Epstein helping to shape Bannon’s public image. In one message, he tells journalist Michael Wolff that if Republicans held the House in 2018, “Steve would deserve most of the credit”, while Bannon privately reassured Epstein during renewed scrutiny that “there is a crazed jihad against u”. The emails reveal a political partnership across these two years in which MAGA’s architect worked hand-in-hand with a convicted sex offender – contradicting everything Bannon has since claimed about Epstein and the so-called “cover-up”. …<<

Aggies. Kyle Field. Thats the whole thing.

I’m really surprised you’ve never heard of that. I didn’t claim Trump raped her - though he may have. (And yes a wife can be “raped” & it happens). My point was Ivan’s said he raped her. My point is raising Swallwell’s divorce listing assets in an inventory, which is a totally normal thing, as a nick on his character is absurd un light of what’s been claimed & revealed about Trump’s own marital history.

Greene’s gonna run for President against Vance. Weird times.

Right, we never get a reply on that. Oh powerful Republicans have their children assaulted but say nothing & Official Maga Good Guys, Patel, Bongino & Bondi are all in on protecting Biden. It’s ridiculous.

Nearly two dozen arrested as faith leaders protest outside Chicago-area ICE facility >> CHICAGO, Nov 14 (Reuters) - Nearly two dozen people were arrested as faith leaders protested on Friday outside a federal immigration facility near Chicago, authorities said, the latest sign of tensions over the Trump administration's aggressive enforcement push. The Cook County Sheriff's Office said in a press release that 21 people had been detained outside a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement processing center in Broadview, Illinois, but did not provide identities and charges. Michael Woolf, minister at Lake Street Church of Evanston, was among those arrested, a Reuters photo showed.<<

You do realize you’re accusing Kash Patel of covering up what you say is going on right?

I haven’t posted politics here very long. I had one spurt maybe 2020 (believe it or not the GC right has improved IMO) and then this recent spin. So I really don’t know. I know it was a very old topic at FBGs. But just looking at a search here (indexing is fuggabooed but anyway) I found this as the oldest Epstein discussion, 2023, via the search function. Here’s another from 2019.Plenty of energy from the left and the right in those. I guarantee you Epstein was discussed much further than that, just the hamster wheel only does do much here.

Yeah, USVI also has an investigation open. Epstein had official contacts there just like he did in Florida. She’s a Democrat, which, again, makes Trump’s aversion to opening all this really suspect.

From thin air? Bondi, Trump made this promise, the demand was coming from Maga, & if you want proof look at loyal foot soldiers like Greene & Boebert, without them this thing wouldn’t have passed. They have base to report to.

Let’s get something straight: liberals didn’t do this. Lone little noticed journalists & advocates cared about this for years (like 15 years), no one noticed. Maga lit this fire.

It’s impossible to “Get” Trump at this stage. Or any other President. The precedents will be felt for a long time.

Yaknow, I’m not sure doing this in a battleground state is a super bright idea.

American citizen brutalized in Charlotte.

Just a reminder, Pizzagare started on Wikileaks. Ya see, the DNC data was hacked & transferred by a GRU cutout but all of it was real. Wikileaks is not hosting the Epstein emails. The Epstein data was handed over pursuant to subpoena by the estate via legal channels & released by both parties but that data is fake.
