He’s done a complete 180 on the Epstein stuff.

Let me know when someone is actually arrested.
I know it’s a big deal but that’s all you have to complain about. Of course you’ll find the one thing and hammer it. Ignore everything else.
How about you share with the class some positive things this administration has done?

ever since Icky won the old folks home Independence Day 5k, he is looking for more people older than him to “race” against to recapture his past Division 3 glory. If he were a man, he’d seek out young guys who are 22 years old and administer a beat down!

Of course, I gave him a list of 5 American mountains to climb and suddenly the bold talker became “too busy” to travel across the world to Wyoming, Idaho or Montana. Lol
Revisionist. TJ proclaimed himself a semi-elite athlete. Implies my heart is going to explode for years. I share that it’s fine and he starts running his mouth about my running ability.

I ask him to put his money where his mouth is and he tucks tail like a typical internet warrior.

You see TJ never accomplished anything athletically. His brother did though. He has to tear down others to feel good about himself.

Well, I believe out the few people you and I would know, there is Dtrain.

Some other notables:

Michael Moore
Noam Chomsky
Matt Taibbi
Glenn Greenwald
Your list said it all😀 How about the fact that Kash Patel is bragging that he called it a hoax years back. Now it is disclosed that John Durham during his multi year investigation uncovered that the email the RW conspiracy was based on was created by Russian spies. RW Russian puppets again.

It’s crazy that you call her a cartoon character when you people trot out complete imbeciles like Chuck Schumer, Maxine Watters, AOC, the Rear Admiral Pete Buttigeg, snake oil salesman Gavin Newsom, Corey Booker and Jasmine Crockett. Judge Jeanine has more integrity in her pinky finger than all of your fools combined.
WHATABOUT? Integrity she said what ever it took to earn a FOX paycheck.

I’m not a cross country guy. I played football and now I lift to stay in shape. But what does my 5k time have to do with you being obsessed with TJ and his 5k time?
I’m not obsessed. He told me my heart is going to stop. He ran his mouth about my ability while bragging about his walking prowess. I asked him to put up or shut up and he doesn’t want any. I plan to remind him every day until he learns to keep his mouth shut.

Taibbi and Greenwald are two former journalists that found that they could make more money and work less by feeding conspiracy garbage to FOX and RW media. They are as credible as Hannity and Fox and Friends. Noam Chomsky is a linguist and academic who doesn't have a clue about the real world.
The bigger news that you all are avoiding is that the conspiracy of the Dems creating the Russia Hoax is itself a hoax created by Russian spies and as they too well know, quickly grabbed and repeated by RW kooks like Kash Patel and fools like Tulsi Gabbard. Durham's Special Counsel report disclosed that Russian spies were behind the fraudulent email and hoax.

30 years as a prosecutor and judge (local) doesn't impress me. I unfortunately have dealt with many incompetent fools in both of those fields. You hate some individuals with those credentials, Smith, Garland. I can only judge her by how she acts on FOX and that is a drunken cartoon character.
LOL. So you didn’t judge the dipstick Klinger wannabes in the Biden admin, but Fox News. BTW, she was a prosecutor and judge in an super large city, much larger than DC. She’s highly qualified. You just repeat stuff your far left “team” tells you to think. #fjb

She didn't serve in a large city, she served in Westchester, NY. I believe.

Icky is truly obsessed, it's funny. It's too bad the D3 athlete and conqueror of the Andes Mountains can't summit a few mountains in Idaho, Wyoming, or Montana to prove his superiority. While I didn't dominate the old folks home July 4th 5k, I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express a couple of times.

I'll go put down a 5k time today at 3 PM when it is 110 degrees with the top-down.

You were wrong. There are Trump haters that don't believe he colluded with Russia.

The bigger news is how clear it is now that some in our intelligence services went along with a lie, but you still believe. Congrats Stoned!

If you played sports you likely ran into guys like TJ. Running their mouths from the sidelines because they’re not good enough to compete.

Taibbi and Greenwald are far from Trump haters, just the opposite they feed themselves by feeding the RW and Fox beast. Don't get hung up on "colluded" which I understand is most people's escape. It is beyond doubt that Russia interfered with the 2014 election to help Trump get elected. Also in 2020. Hillary's involvement is Russian spy propaganda.

You are quite "special" Stone in that you will always believe in the lie despite proof that it was treasonous corruption in the absolute worst possible way to the Republic. You also no doubt believe that Ukraine was paying 3 ROCKs plus (3 Million) to Hunter for his oil and gas expertise.

Matt Taibbi: Taibbi has been highly critical of Trump, describing him in 2016 as a "bundle of disorganized urges" and likening him to a figure who represents "something horrible about all of us" due to his ostentatious lifestyle and behavior.

Similarly, Greenwald has negative opinions of Trump I can post if needed.

I would not consider these two MAGA

What about Dtrain? He doesn't like Trump and disagrees with your Russia Collusion view. Here is the post I disputed from you:

Russia Gate. LOL. sorry but you MAGAs are the only ones that doubt it to be true.

Do you consider Dtrain a MAGA?

No, I just don't have the emotional or psychological need to see or bury any fact I don't want to believe as a conspiracy.

Exact scenario that people have been concerned about. Man with sexual criminal history used his trans identify to gain access to girls.

Weak men have used elite status to take advantage of women throughout history. The latest version of this is men taking advantage of the new preferred status of trans people.

Well, the Swiss aren't having emergency meetings just to hold them. Several firms lost up to 5 percent in value and the Swiss are rushing to one of if not their most important export markets. A deal will be made, or the Swiss will live with the consequences. With their huge trade surplus with the US, they have much to lose.

I'm just glad you didn't mention delicious Swiss chocolate the other day - I know you will be OK.

What is he looking for from the Swiss? They don't have any tariffs on US goods coming in. All his tariffs do is make Swiss goods more expensive for Americans to buy.

If Swiss goods are more expensive, why have all the other tariffs that have been implemented not caused inflation? I’ll await a laughable answer from you.

Strange how every time there is news involving Epstein, Tulsi or Kash or Bondi make an announcement to distract. Comically amateurish that everyone can see thru except MAGAs. The pinnacle of the politicization of the justice system that you supposedly were offended by in the past.

He is looking for investment money. By now, the trend is obvious, Japan, South Korea, and the 3 large middle eastern states are investing trillions in the USA.

He will get it along with a 15 percent tariff. You watch.
