(FACT) The ex-cop facing quadruple-homicide charges who Epstein said tried to kill him previously worked in the town where Trump National Golf Club is. Did anyone else note this? Someone sent me the connection via DM—and I'd be amazed if it wasn't already a topic of conversation.
PS/ Note that I'm only saying that it's an odd coincidence I expect an investigator would follow up on. This isn't some puerile attempt to take a single fact and extrapolate it into a theory. Briarcliff Manor is a hamlet of only 8,000 people, so that coincidence is... *very* odd.
PS2/ I've previously posted the major-media article confirming that Epstein told his lawyers that Tartaglione attacked him. And yes, it's clear that Epstein could've hurt Trump politically and possibly legally. So a Briarcliff Manor Trump-Tartaglione connection isn't irrelevant.
PS3/ Trump National Golf Club is *so far and away* the most important thing happening in Briarcliff Manor that it is by no means a stretch to say that a cop in Briarcliff Manor would likely have dealings with Trump's property (and employees/agents) at some point along the line.
PS4/ Repeat: I'm *only talking about the assault here*. I've said repeatedly the chance Epstein's *death* was a homicide was basically zero, and the autopsy report (below) confirms what I suspected. So again, this is only a thread about the July *assault*. nytimes.com/2019/08/16/nyr…
PS5/ The assault is relevant not only because it may have been an attempt to kill Epstein, but also because it led to (a) a situation in which he couldn't have a roommate, and (b) a controversial (quickly abandoned) suicide watch. IOW the assault was/is as odd as Epstein's death.

(🧵) This thread offers extensive analysis of the historic decision by President Joe Biden—ranked the 14th-best U.S. president ever by nonpartisan historians—not to seek a second term. I approach this analysis as an attorney, political journalist, and Trump biographer. Please RT.
1/ Here is the announcement from President Biden.
2/ He says he will address the nation further on this matter in a few days.
(1 of 3) Sixteen years ago, at the Iowa Writers’ Workshop, another experimental writer and I—he a novelist, me a poet—concocted a plan to one day write a personal history that would satisfy two conditions at once: (1) be 100% accurate; (2) cause disbelief and possibly even anger.
(2 of 3) After Iowa, I added a third requirement: I wanted to write a personal bio that *made a point*: that no matter how much we tell others about ourselves in the digital age, we are always incomprehensible to (and in many ways not even human to) strangers on the internet.
(3 of 3) A few years ago, I quietly dropped the fruition of this plan from the 2000s onto my personal website—not knowing when or if anyone would find it. I expected people who hate me would find it first. They did.
Their reaction is exactly as we hoped it would be back in 2008.
(NOTE) I have now updated this report to include information on the possible illegality of the fraudulent Jackson Memo.
(MORE) In Atlanta, Trump told 602 lies in 40 minutes and 12 seconds.
In Milwaukee, the fact that the whole world saw what happened in Butler—and so could call out Trump's lies—cut his rate: it would've been 362 lies in 40 minutes and 12 seconds.
Nine years into the Trump era and Donald Trump is still getting on TV and lying to our faces about every facet of American life knowing idiots and wishcasters will believe him, his words will be aired live by corporate media, and any factchecking will come after people go to bed.
Major media had nine years to figure out how to deny media coverage to people who spread disinformation. It could ban them from its air. It could refuse to carry their words live. It could give 5x the live rebuttal time to those who tell the truth.
And what did it do? *Nothing*.
This sociopath was created by media and media is responsible for him. Every claim he made tonight was false. He knew they were false because he had been told so repeatedly. He *also* knows corporate media needs him for profits—so it'll never do with him as real journalists would.
BREAKING NEWS: Physicians Suggest Trump Could Have Undisclosed Brain Trauma in Wake of His Team's Bizarre Refusal to Release Any Information About His Injury or Its Treatment; Doctors Say Even Getting Grazed By a Bullet Can Have Catastrophic Unseen Effects statnews.com/2024/07/17/tru…
I cannot imagine voting for someone who might have an undisclosed traumatic brain injury, especially when the person has a decades-long history of doctoring, lying about and hiding their medical records. This is an issue that major media should be expending significant energy on.
After the attack, Trump sounded addled—and we've no idea if he has PTSD. Doctors say he would have had multiple brain scans to determine if there were unseen effects from an object traveling at that speed hitting his head. And now all of this is being hidden from American voters?
MAGAs falsely claim the Secret Service wants Trump dead, which is plainly untrue. It's also a *bizarre* claim for MAGAs to embrace, as what do these conspiracy theorists think it would say about what Trump says and does in private—that only the USSS knows of—if it wants him dead?
MAGA is such a deranged cult that you have Trump fans insisting that the one group of people who know what he says and does in private—and what sort of danger those words/actions pose to all of us—thinks he needs to be eliminated. And that does *not* give them any pause. Why not?
Fortunately, there is an answer to this. All MAGAs now hold one of three views: they hate all law enforcement, or they love the idea that Trump plans to destroy our democracy, or they do not believe there was any plot against Trump but wax orgasmic at the idea of him as a martyr.
